mynameisrodney wrote on Fri, 09 September 2005 14:14 | there was one version of the multiple universe theory that suggested that all times cooexist as well as all possible universes. essentially travelling through time/space , including the travel we do just by existing, is no different whether you go forward, backwards, or to another parrallel universe at the same time.
in this model you could go back in time and kill your dad without it effecting you, because you would not actually be travelling to the universe in which you were born, but rather to one where your dad was killed by some dickhead time traveller.
now before you say "multiple universes! go watch some star trek nerd boy!" the overlapping of multiple universes has been supported by physical evidence.
there have been experiments where a metal plate is produced with two tiny holes in it that are right next to each other. a single photon of light is then fired at the junction of the holes. the photon can only go through one hole or the other. BUT on the reverse side of the plate, the photon emerges from BOTH holes!!!???WTF. as we all know matter/energy cannot be created or destroyed, so where does the extra photon come from?
what happens is that because the two parrallel universes, one where the photon goes throught the left hole and one where it goes through the right, are so similar they actually coexist (or so the theory goes). so if it is possible to bridge the gap between universes then time travel may be possible.

Doesn't that kinda support the idea of predetermination too?
If you can go back in time and kill your own great grandparents, and still be alive, isn't it already pre-determined in that co-universe that you are to kill your parents? This makes your future in any universe determined by fate.
My prefered way of thinking of it is that you can't actualy travel through time, just universes. So when you travel 'back in time' and kill your great grandparents, what you've actualy done is gone across universes to one where everything happened 100 years later or so, and killed them. In essence, you haven't traveled through time at all, it just appears that way.
