I'm not following your line of reasoning here. Why does acknowledging one timeline necessitate that you acknowledge another? He specifically said there was only one, so why does that infer that another exists?
i believe you've heard of the grandfather theory have you not? where one goes back in time, kills his grandfather, and returns to his original time. now would one cease to exist in their time? no they wouldn't as an object can't simply cease to be. (just as energy is never lost, an object is never lost, it is just transferred into something else.) now anyways you return to your time, and everything is still as it was, everyone is as they were, and your grandpa still exists (dead or alive) now to truly fade from existance, to truly see yourself become nothing more than a nameless faceless entity trapped in an expanse of time where you are the one man with no family, no history, and no parents you'd have to kill your grandfather and stay in that time area, stay in that time line. simply by looking at time in that sense one sees that there are obviously multiple timelines with multiple possibilities.
have you ever looked at the chaos theory of mathematics? the theory that states "there are infinate possibilities in a finite area." this theory proves true with time travel. one could go back and kill their grandfather and one thing could result based simply on how he was killed, or on what he was doing when you killed him. every minute difference in one action has an effect on the subsequent actions. draw a triangle (equilateral mind you) and then draw an upside down triangle therein (so as to make a star of david) then draw another triangle on every point of the star of david, facing the opposite direction of that point. then keep going, and going. and it never really ends, even when you can't draw anymore it never ends it's infinance in a finite area. in the time period you are in, in the time period you stand in there are infinate possibilities for you. you could give everything up and be a hobo, you could win the lottery, you could sell your car, every thing you do now effects you later on, there is no one path. nay there are thousands upon millions of paths. a million squared, a million to the millionth power, more and more paths based on simple actions. what if you eat count chocula and discover a cavity in yout tooth? what if instead you eat nothing and don't discover the tooth until it's rotted? infinance, infinate possibilities, there is everything in nothing.

All we, as a species of scientists, need is the ability to create microsingularities under very controlled circumstances. Scientists have already achieved that many times over---and researchers at CERN are working on mastering the art of singularities [micro...and, possibly otherwise]
In fact, theory [and cern] recently suggested digging a worldwide tunnel underneath the earths crust using a string of mass-controlled [and therefore, time-controlled] microsingularities [black holes] to effectively "dig" a transport around the globe.
Such a suggestion seems ludicrious...but they were serious.
Sounds like they at least THINK they know what they're doing.
so lemme get this straight, they are mad scientists trying to harness the black hole so as to use it for "teleportation" purposes? black holes can bend light, black holes can stretch and break anything that enters them, how do they expect this to work for anything at all? it'd be like shipping something UPS, you just don't do it, it's not a safe mode of transport. i'd love to read more on these wacky guys, but to try and harness a black hole (no matter how small) is next to immpossible. they seem to know what they're doing, but i'd like to know as well. gimme some more info, links, articles, anything.
. That's why I say that this guy's threads are bogus. Why would he only tell people on the internet?? If this was plausible, I'd think it'd at least get a little airtime on channel 9 or something.
