Actually, you can converse with yourself as long as you don't prevent yourself from travling back to create the situation in which you converse with yourself. Oh, and I don't have a DeLorean, so I had to turn my '94 Dodge Neon into a time machine.




It might not be a very good conversation since you'd already know what you'd talk to yourself about, having already spoken with yourself about it.The very eventwould result in a paradox unless the visit went in a very specific (scripted) way. Then there's the issue of chaos theory and the invariability ofvariable x affecting variable y, which calls the time of the visit into question. That's to say, if I visit myself during an or preceding to my past self achieving something he was supposed to do, I may in fact prevent that from happening by sheer attrition of time alone, resulting in a future that wasn't supposed to happen!


Very impressivewith the Dodge Neon time machine BTW.. what did you have to do to get that working? Replace everything in the car?
