The closest I get is when Sarda edited time to finish his dinner before he made it and when Black Belt is allowed to wander around on his own.

But... Swordopolis... Hole in time... Garland fall through... Not true?

I don't think Garland fell through that hole in time when Swordopolis saved Fighter from drowning way back when. In fact, Garland was instead saved by a Land Shark, if I remember correctly.

And speaking of Dr. Swordopolis, when will he make a return?

No, no it isn't, but this really shouldn't come as a shock. You've been in denial long enough, Garland did *NOT* get sent into the past.

Yeah, it was a pretty neat theory, just like my theory that Vilbert would turn out to be a hapless innocent rather than the actual Vampire. But all that aside, neither you, nor I have any real control over the events of 8-bit, and just wishing it to be so won't change anything.

On the one hand, it would be good to see you use the time loop in a way that makes sense.

On the other hand, the merest consideration of the time loop as it is causes me to bleed profusely from the eye sockets.

So barring an absolute confidence in your ability to render something of worth from that madness, it's probably best left alone.

Aerozord · 06-09-2004, 08:05 PM

well with my therey of space-time loop is easy because time cannot be changed. Let me use an example. Lets say you went back in time to kill Hitler. Now obviously you failed otherwise in your time he would be dead and you never would have need to go back and kill him.

But, then Back to the Future would make absolutely no sense!

But it would save alot of people from dying in the past.

Also, theres also the DBZ rule of time travel. That if one where to go back into the past, it would be the past of a different realm and not your time so you can never alter you worlds futur.

ok number one I was saying that you failed. Because if you succeeded then he would be dead and you wouldn't have gone back in time to kill him. In otherwords it already happened.

That is another theory that you create alternate realities. I just believe in the unchangable loop theory is all.

Sithdarth · 06-10-2004, 11:53 AM

Actual time travel is on the verge of being proven impossible. Seeing as time, in the way we think of it, is simply a construct of humans, and does not truly exsit there is nothing to travel back into.

There is some evidence to support the time loop theory. Simply that the universe explodes, exspands, then contracts, and explodes over and over. If it is unchangable hard to say, but if it was then your future is set as well as your past. Not a happy thought.

A time loop in 8-bit can best be explained thusly; A Wizard did it. No more explaination is needed. Although I'm sure Brian could come up with something much funnier.
