backwards, no, forwards, you're doing it right now at the speed of light. the question is, if you go faster than c, do you get there before it's happened. do you "jump to the future". the answer, no. time isn't a line you can travel along. time isn't actually real. it's a mathematical model we created to measure an ever-changing series of interactions. "the past" describes the past state of an object. "present" describes the current state. "the future" is merely a term used to describe a possible state that our model predicts.

back to the future got it wrong. they all do.

No.

They speak in code though.

I didn't know that Epstein worked with Seth MacFarlane on the scenarios of the episodes when Stewie and Brian go back in time.

>Is time travel actually a thing?
There are those who don't know, and those who lie about knowing.

>>41893224
>Seth MacFarlane
there was an old creepy pasta about Seth getting involved with the wrong ((crowd)) making him suicidal which lead to the really weird and violent season of family guy that had the lsd nightmare episode and the one where brian had a gun to kill himself with
and the pasta was wrote by staffer or somebody who worked with him while he was becoming unhinged

>>41893263
>found it
I will not say who I am. I will not say what position I held that allowed for me to be aware of the information I'm about to share; suffice to say, I don't hold it anymore. I have read some of the letters directed at Seth and Fox complaining about season eight of Family Guy, and while I can't officially make these statements to any press, I don't want to stay quiet anymore.

Many people feel that season eight was just off in an odd sort of way. For anyone who took note of season eight of Family Guy for the specific reason of elevated graphic violence, I wanted to say this:

Seth MacFarlane was going through a lot during the times these episodes were written and produced. He was heavily involved in writing the episodes alongside series writers, several of which made comments later regarding his apparent state of mind during writing sessions. However, more recently, when looking for corroborators, my ex-coworkers denied Seth being involved as he was, as well as 'Steve,' whom I'll explain in a bit.

A number of scenes did generate a certain amount of negative viewer response — Peter's head getting crushed between two logs, for instance — but I'd like to point out that these images were no more graphic than the things you might see on other 'adult' cartoons. In addition, there has been blood and gore in the series before; typically, it's just more spread out over the season. However, if you did feel that such imagery was out of place for the series, you were right.

Editors cut nearly two hours of animated gore, violence, and sexual abuse from season eight, as well as rejecting three proposed episodes featuring:

The character Quagmire stalking, capturing, raping, and finally killing a woman (whom he keeps for several days while alive) in his basement.

Information can be sent back in time, like email. The date is part of the address. They figured that out earlier this century.

>>41893305
Stewie developing a mind control ray, which he tests on Brian, eventually using it to have relations with him.
Lois becoming pregnant after cheating on Peter in a threesome with friends from college. She confesses to him, and after they argue about what to do about the pregnancy, he performs a home abortion on her using a coat hanger.
The last episode was eventually rethought and made as "Partial Terms of Endearment", but was cut from the air for the US, despite being shown in the UK and being available on the DVD for the season.

I would like to point out the episode "Dog Gone", in which Brian loses faith in his ability to write and accidentally hits and kills a dog with his car while drunk, crushing it in half. When he reveals this, everyone but Stewie laughs at him and mocks him, saying that no one cares. Stewie does mock him for a while, but when he realizes how serious Brian is about the issue, he stages Brian's death so that Brian can see the family mourn, and feels validated. I suggest you watch this episode while keeping in mind that Seth often represents himself through Brian and Stewie. In this particular episode, I also believe the various dogs and their reactions to their environment reflect Seth's emotions.

Early on, when I asked Seth about why he seemed to be emphasizing his use of Brian and Stewie, he just told me he was frustrated with the series so far — that he'd begun to feel like the earlier seasons were idiotic, that the fanbase were morons, and that he was stuck; his name would always be associated with Family Guy. He also told me that he was bringing in someone to help 'mature' the material. He mentioned having worked briefly with the man before.

>>41893308
The stressed, slightly manic tone of season eight culminates in "Brian and Stewie", one of the most serious episodes of the entire series; there are no cutaways and the titular characters behave in a way that seems to show them in their most distilled forms. Again, this episode was heavily censored and altered; the original script called for the scene in which Brian eats Stewie's stool to be shown, not just implied. Brian considers suicide because he feels his life has no purpose, and Stewie saves' 'him with their friendship.
Following this episode, the tone evens out and things return to more or less normal for the series. There was nothing particularly occult or metaphysical regarding the circumstances around the making of season eight. None of the writers or animators went insane, there were no mysterious deaths or possessions... none of that. For those of you looking for a twist or reason, I will say this:

While Seth usually seemed tired outside of working, he did his best to keep up appearances at major events and gatherings. However, it was said that he often looked sicker or more listless in the presence of his consultant (I assume this was the man Seth had mentioned to me earlier on), and was reluctant to say no to suggestions said consultant — whom I will call Steve — made. From what I've gathered, he didn't really start making suggestions during sessions until around episode three, but was talking to Seth in private about the series. He was silent for some time, almost absent aside from just sitting in, and then began to converse more actively with Seth and the co-writers by the middle of the season.

>>41893315
While those who had to deal with Steve usually seemed irritated or perturbed by his presence, he did have some connections: Dwayne Johnson's brief appearance in episode 10, "Big Man on Hippocampus", was attributed to Steve, and I was told Mr. Johnson (when jokingly asked by one of the crew on set about how he got asked to do the scene) commented that he was only there because he owed a favor to 'Steve'. He acted uncomfortable at the time, and even during filming the short. It was done in one take and he was not asked to do it a second time. From what I've heard, Steve was present and seemed pleased by the fact that Mr. Johnson was visibly uneasy.
During one session (the second time I saw him in person), I did question Steve directly about a suggested plot, and when he turned to look at me, I was genuinely scared. I had no idea why; he had never once threatened, swore, or made a personally violent move. I suppose it was the series of ideas regarding violence and gore he pitched to Seth. I should mention that when others protested suggested violence, Steve would typically switch to sexual themes, racism, mental illness, or just withdraw altogether until he could work in one of his themes again.

The pitch I was concerned about was for a running gag. The question I asked was something along the lines of:

"I think that what we're doing may be too much for one episode ("April in Quahog"). Blood is okay once, maybe twice in the episode, but showing the same man dying over and over might be a bit much."

The gag being pitched was that Peter, at various points in the episode, runs over the same man, who despite being whole and alive every encounter, is increasingly mauled every instance, with a different reoccurring character running over and screaming that the man was dead.

>>41891939
Not for you, at least.

>>41893325
Seth was unaccompanied to the writing sessions for episode seventeen, and he was much more energetic than I'd seen him in months. He was almost celebratory, and it showed: he picked some of his favorite musical numbers from the series, cut or not, for the end of the episode, the plot of which seemed to have been a symbol for his own self-redemption.
I have been unable to track Steve down since to find out more about him; no records exist within the company to show that he was ever officially signed on or paid, and I believe he may have been privately hired by Seth. For what reason, I have no idea; I'm just glad to know he's gone.

Really time travel is an imperious concept. It's realer then you could care to know. We know time is fluid, which stands in opposition to most constructs of time, hence "time travel". What are you even asking? Time travelers would only be able to move "backwards" in theory. Also they do... Time travelers that is... Send themselves asunder and allow the "currents of time" to rip them a new asshole. There is no changing the future only disrupting Karma with a negative or positive charge. You can alter the past all the same you alter the present. Right, not just pretense or "rewriting history" which is an exceptional example of "time travel" as a theory, (literally, re-writing history). Ways you couldn't contort consciousness, I mean. Lets say, the idea is that time is recorded in something like a general consciousness. A collective consciousness (which would be a good place to start if you were interested in the theory of time travel, and imposing upon it) stores the memory of time because the construct itself has grown larger than the tangible concept of actual time. (I don't know math so deal with my word problem.) It's simple, we traverse the collective(general) consciousness for a memory, and live from that post memory. Which is how time travel really worked. You can observe our future ancestry, and the abuse they've imposed on us with new technologies in present everyday life. (ex. everything recorded, nostalgia ultra, selling you the childhood you never had, etc.) We(time travelers) would live from that post memory onward, then time would mold itself around such a memory. This is dangerous and unhealthy though.

Ive heard that even just thinking about a memory counts as "time travel", so how could they take that to the next step to actually change things?

time travel is possible, via abortions

that why Trump had Roe vs Way overturned

something quantum about the unspent time from the aborted soul

the premise of the movie Timecop is intriguing, a rich asshole manipulated the time line to become president of the United Snakes of America

No. The future is not deterministic but operates via probability distributions.

Time Travel.

>>41891939
I don't doubt it, but even now no one has come up with a relatively simple implementation which can be easily repeated and have its parameters adjusted at user's discretion. The idea of it, at core, requires viewing time as a stream or river, as acting fluidly rather than linearly like a sheer drop off a cliff

The ending of that movie has the future version of the bad guy merge with his present version. In doing so it causes both to "cancel each other out" on a molecular level

Lucid Memories
A person entering a state in which they are still aware of being in the past, but use the knowledge to make whatever changes they desire, even if it still results in only one aspect being changed and the rest of their life remaining the same
Think something similar to Quantum Leap except less risk of getting stuck

>>41892158
No it isn't. Existence is a conversation of momentum, no new momentum is created, therefor, we continue on a line.

Once you understand that this comment you've posted happened a very long time ago at the exact same time it will happen at some unknown point in the future, you're going to be on a much better path to understanding that time isn't truly linear.

Time is more like sitting on the inside of a dodecahedron lined with inner mirror plates - endless infinity no matter which direction you look.

I don't know. However I was just watching some podcasts with Eric Weinstein who suggests that there may be more temporal dimensions than the one we are aware of. My personal perception of time is that it flows from the future to the past, with probabilities coalescing into events as they pass us in the moment of the now, to remain unchanged in the past. The extra temporal dimensions are upstream, beyond my perception and probably have everything to do with causality.

I just learned about the case of the Dodleston Messages where some people got to interact with a time traveler through text messages instead of talking in person which sounds super interesting. Also, this 2109 guy seems to have predicted something right and said the whole thing was just an experiment. Do we know anything more about this?

You can time travel forwards. Put yourself into a dreamless coma, congratulations you time traveled X amount of time forwards in what felt like an instant to you. The range is obviously limited, but it is time travel nonetheless, it won't feel any different than jumping in a time machine 20 years in the future or becoming comatose and waking up after 20 years.
