Possible Laws of Time Travel

*A note to the readers. These laws are a work in progress and still need adjustments...And don't ask me to explain time paradoxes. That's just a cruel thing to do to someone.

Basics

* When traveling through time there are 3 directions. (Forward, Backward, and "Now".

**Forward is the future, Backward is the past, and "Now" is elsewhere in the present(a.k.a. teleportation)

*The Fourth direction of time travel is away from your current planet following one of the basic 3 directions.

*Time Travel occurs through a sub-space. The sub-space is considered "out of time" since it is not affected by time. In this sub-space no motion is possible. Time travel is instantaneous and so every position and feeling of the moment you enter the sub-space is frozen while you are in there.
WARNING: Time travel while in any type of pain or while dying is not recommended. These feelings will go with you and could traumatize the body.

*Invincible materials: Things "out of time" are unaffected by destruction or decay making it invincible. Warping things partially "out of time" can create objects that will withstand the effects of time and are usable by people affected by time.

*It is possible to see through sub-space. By moving forward or backward you can watch history unfold, and see your own past. You cannot see your definite future though.

The Past

*You cannot exist in the same time as yourself. This would destroy the laws of physics since the same matter can't occupy two separate spaces at the same time.

*You cannot leave sub-space in the past of any planet you have lived on. You can't change your past since you would cancel the future that caused you to change it, thus negating the change.

*You can change the past on other planets provided it won't change your past, however, this can create time paradoxes.

The "Now/ Present"

*Since time travel is instantaneous, time picks up exactly where you left it if you travel elsewhere in the present.

*When traveling back to where you started, do not go back time. You won't be able to leave. Continue your travel in the now.

*There are two directions. Now on a planet you've lived on, and now on a foreign planet.

The Future

*Future is interesting since you will see what can be. The future is not set and different actions in the past can change what happens. The farther forward you travel, the blurrier it will seem and the harder it will be to leave.

*Since different things can happen in the future as you go forward you may see two or more images. Each one reflects a future where a different choice was made.

*You can't change the future since it has not happened yet.

Technology

*Duplicators are objects that can duplicate known objects. They cannot duplicate things from the future that don't exist yet.

*Relocating technology from one culture to another or moving it to new areas can greatly change the course of history.

Biology

*Altering genetics can greatly affect a culture.

*Biological weapons, vaccines, or other such things can alter the entire planet.

*Watching a biological change is odd. To do this requires two or more people. At one part in the past someone alters part of a culture. The person on the present can watch as the present changes, usually noted by what can only be described as turbulence in sub-space.

*Changing one planet through another takes longer to see the effects.

Time Paradoxes

*These are unexplainable occurrences in time that allow the past to be altered to keep the present the same. You cannot explain these. Leave them alone.

"You Time"

*You time is basically your internal clock. It secures your past and present, and causes you to age normally regardless of your location in time.

*You time is one of the few possible explanations as to why paradoxes occur.
