Of which, there are 3 main theories:1 - It is impossible to create a time paradox. "Time" won't let you change events.2 - A time paradox would create an alternate time line. Maybe they would merge later, maybe not.3 - A time paradox would create a time loop, and only an external factor could end the loop. Which gets them asking how big the loop would be, and who would be affected by it. (EG: just the person/people directly involved? The whole planet? The solar system? The galaxy? The universe?) The larger the area of the loop, the larger the external variable has to be to end it.And what if the governmen... less

Do we still?I mean, it seems to me it's kind of hypocritical for the world to get angry at North Korea for testing their missiles ... if everybody else does it by calling it a "satellite launch" or "ISS supply run".

So really; does nature disappear when we are not interacting with it?
