Ronald Mallett, You’ve Doomed Us All
Filed by mysteryGuy | June 2, 2009
Ronald Mallett is a physicist with a mission: to travel back in time. With lasers! The back story makes it even better: he wants to tell his dead dad to start eating right and live longer.
Mallett equates his dad’s death to the death of Superman. And not in a “DC comics taking all of 10-year old mysterGuy’s allowance only to bring him back in about a year” kinda way.
This might sound like a movie (or Sci-Fi TV movie pitch), but it’s not. This is real life. Nevermind that Spike Lee has the film rights…
Doesn’t Mallet watch science fiction? Or does he just live it? Anyone familiar with the intricacies of travel through space-time realizes he is dooming us all! Dear old dad, Marty McFly and Spock.
If successfull, he’ll create a paradox. If he saves his dad, he’ll never have the motivation to build his time machine, then the space time continuum explodes and we all die! He’s not even leaving room for a sequel!
Well, me may not create a paradox depending on the mechanics of time travel. I say he’d create a parallel dimension in which his father is alive and there is a different version of himself. IMHO

Well, if you’re going to argue alternative dimensions, then what’s the point of even trying? I mean, in the multiverse there probably are universes where his dad is alive, I have a license to kill, and you control an undead army. At least, here’s hoping…

The question is how do I get to those universes! Also in one I ride a giant cyborg wolf, just sayin…
