Time Travel Paradoxes

Very early draft edition v0.5 (will be expanded and edited extensively)

I'm gonna skip the introduction on why time is a mental construct and not a physical parameter, since it's 4am and I need to sleep. Instead I would like to jump to the paradoxes of time travel in a determined timeline that has the beginning and end created at the same time. (refer back to the non existent introduction to understand why there is no past, nor future).

Cause and effect infinite loop

A depressed teenager that couldn't handle his drunk abusive single Dad traveled back in time to stop himself from being born and tried to kill his younger dad before he got married only to cause him brain damage that left him with a drinking problem. (Story will be edited and simplified later)

What is the first event in this story? The teenager who caused his dad brain injury, and a drinking problem? Or the drunk dad who caused his teenage kid to go back in time and try to kill his father? In a determined timeline both events were "written" at the same time creating a closed loop free of paradoxes where both events cause each other.

Information origin paradox (bootstrap)

A man read a book about time travel written by an old scientist, and he manages to travel back in time using it, so he goes to that scientist in the past to tell him that it worked. The man gives the scientist his book from the future, but the scientist was still clueless about his work, after reading his book, he understands everything and later publishes the same book that will be read by the man in the future.

Where did the information about time travel in the book come from? A Determined timeline fails to explain the origin of the book (information). A new timeline that gets created every time someone travels back in time is needed to explain this paradox; (Multiverse), in a way that the man traveled from a different universe in which the scientist came up with the book by himself.  but this is rather an answer when we can't find a logical explanation. Saying that every decision we make creates an new branch in the timeline feels a bit absurd with billions of them being created every second.

Trying to explain the information paradox using the determined timeline is still possible. The timeline being determined means that there was neither a first nor last event in the Cascade determined events, but rather all of the events where determined at the same time. Time is completely irrelevant in a determined universe, but merely a concept needed for those inside of it to experience the chain reaction of events. These events were all determined and written at the same time, before they were supposed to be "played". In other words, the cause and effect loops are closed determined loops that need no beginning nor end. The information paradox is merely a paradox since it lacks a primal cause; what caused the information to be written? (Well in this case when a cause can't be found, then simply the original cause of the timeline itself is the answer.

Everything points back to the original cause in the end, specially if you follow the cause and effect chain all the way back, it eventually points to the designer, God, the architect, whatever you'd like to call it.

In the information paradox there isn't a long chain of events to be traced back to, but it simply points back directly to the origin. This is why it feels counterintuitive. But frankly everything is an information paradox if you contemplate it long enough. This example merely exposes this fact.

Where did all the matter come from, the rules of gravity, the goldilocks ratios? Let the show continue...

Some pictures from the Van Gogh Alive experience in Mexico City.

Today is Vincent Van Gogh’s Birthday.

I’m currently trying to adapt to the quarantine, trying to keep myself busy to not to lose my mind over this. I’m not gonna lie, I’ve had some pretty hard days due to various reasons -it seems they’ve all stacked up on me- but I’ve been writing and reading A LOT and I hope I can share with you some poems soon.
