first of all, what happens IF u somehow did change the past?
well, based on my theory, it would not actually change the present. so that is kinda disappointing, i mean whats the point if it doesnt fix the problem in the present that resulted from the past pre-augmentation?
well, i believe that the past exists, we just arent in it anymore. so its kinda the question of whether something irrelevant to u has meaning because it is real, or not because it is not relevant to u.
but what if changing the past would have some effect on the present? i think this is plausible, but it would affect the present in an unconventional fashion. to change the past, energy must be directed into the past. (it has presumably lost energy and become static) but now that it does have energy, that energy will move elsewhere after exerting its change. could it catch up to the energy in the present? im not sure, and even if it did, im not sure how it would affect the present.
but how to actually change the past? i theorize that the past is the physical world that our conscious energy (and presumably other energies that interact with that matter) left. i wonder if the past is not actually a dichotomy but the farther back it goes, the more "pastly" it is. in this line of thinking, changing the recent past is easier than changing the distant past. perhaps u could significantly alter the previous moment if ur quick, altho unfortunately its too late to fix all my past problems with this strategy.
okay so literally changing the past isnt that useful for changing the present, but is useful for its own sake, which most wouldnt care about.
what about changing the present to be as if the past had been changed? this sounds more practical. its also a lot more conventional thinking since psychological means can achieve a partial result.
if u act as if the past was a certain way, it will be as if it was, somewhat. however, u dont actually know how it would be, so u can only guess. accuracy aside, u actually have more control than if u did change the past, at least in terms of ur own ripples into reality.
it would be better if u could also convince others that the past was different, since their consciousnesses are also rippling out into reality. if someone does remember something, its a lot harder to convince them it didnt happen outright, and a lot easier to augment how they view what exactly happened. people use this all the time.
