In a beautiful land filled with castles, queens, and princesses there lives a man who sits all day long in his wheelchair formulating scientific equations. He can't walk, talk, or even move. But he is not on welfare or government aid of any kind.
He is like an X-man. He is one who walks among us...well...not really because he can't walk at all. He is highly esteemed among the scientific world for his braniac skills. Who is this man?
He is Stephen Hawking. Don't feel sorry for him, though, he has cheated death. The man can't even move and yet obtained a doctoral degree and has written a best selling book. He just thinks he knows everything just because he can do mathematical equations in his head.
Okay. I used to think that he was way cool, because he's like, supposed to be, like, you know, the smartest guy in the world and everything, but if he's so smart, then he would have figured out a way to walk again.
But then again, maybe that's the brilliant part. He's figured out a way to shut off his motor neurons so he won't have to wash dishes and fold laundry and sit in traffic. This lack of movement disease has given him all the time that he needs to formulate equations and solve the mysteries of the Universe.
His Ultimate goal is to discover a way to travel through time.
Yes, that's right. He wants to travel into the future and find out a way to cure motor neuron disease, then miraculously walk and become rich and famous. But he's already rich and famous and now all he has to do is rise up and walk. But he can't, because now his muscles have atrophied. But what if he could...does he really need a time machine to do that?
Time Travel...............................
...this is the ultimate paradox. They say that it isn't possible.
For one thing, time doesn't exist. Time is an illusion.
The only thing that exists is man and his ideas.
Why do so many people want to travel back in time, or forward in time?
Some people want to back in time and meet important people and learn from them so they can be more successful. But everything that has been important enough to learn from them has been written down in books. And just because you travel back in time long enough to meet Benjamin Franklin or Dennis Tittle, doesn't mean that they will talk to you.
There are important people around right now, most likely they don't want to talk to you either.
But what if you traveled back in time and met your formal self and tried to give yourself advice and tips on how to be rich in famous. Would you listen?
You see, it's a paradox.
If I drift back into my memories, I can travel back in time through past events and tell my children of all the stupid horrible things that I have ever done. Then they can be wiser as they travel through the future.
Here's the other time travel paradox:
Before disaster occurs, it will always happen to those around first as a warning of something that may befall you, if you aren't careful. The only problem with this is the fact that so many people lie and cover up what they have done wrong in order to look smart. So you have to look carefully and accurately and become an ace at detecting lies.
Dottie is a perfect example of the time travel paradox.
Dottie taught school for a very long time and then one year, she was forced into early retirement because of the wicked wicked school officials that falsely accused her of having a filthy classroom, and being cruel to some students. (Dottie would never do that, the nerve of some people)
When you retire from teaching, you get two options
You can get $70,000 all at once to invest or you can get small amounts of it every month for several years.
Dottie just took it all at once, and spent it all at the Casino.
Dottie seems to think that she really can double her money at the Casino.
I have heard from people who have come back from the future and told me that they have lost all of their money gambling it. I have heard people say "I used to have all this money, and now I have nothing to show for it...if only I had invested it in something that would make me money"
...isn't that like time travel...couldn't I learn from that?
But sometimes you hear tales of things that can and will happen to you.
Dottie had a teacher friend that took the $70,000 all at once and spent every penny of it. She warned Dottie that this money was not taxed. She told Dottie that she needed to find an accountant and make sure she saved part of that money to pay to the government.
But alas, Dottie did not listen. Uncle Sam came knocking at her door very soon and asked for that money. But she had left it all in the slot machines at the Choctaw Indian Casino in Oklahoma. They wouldn't give it back.
Time travel happens all the time. You just have to listen and watch carefully to everyone around you. There are warnings all the time. You can't heed all of them or you will go crazy. But if you are careful and attentive, you can use some things to your advantage.
If there was a time machine sitting in your living room, would you hop in? Where would you go? It doesn't matter how you get there, it's the outcome that is most important.
There is nothing new under the sun, so it goes. Whatever road you want to travel, someone else has been down that road before. So find someone who has succeeded and do what they did. If you can't, find a loophole that enables you too.
You might not be able to sit in a time machine, but you can travel through wormholes (loopholes).
