Will my copypasta (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pd8WeXLeXQs

Gather around my children, and listen to the story of /sci/'s creation.

It was a dark, cold night in the woods, and moot, had just gone for a walk. A regular Thursday night it was, nothing to do, just vidya, working on canv.as, the usual. He had taken his iPod with him, you see? And he happened to have it on that shuffle mode thingy where it selects a random song, yeah, you know what I'm talking about. The thing is, it was all by Lady Gaga. And guess what song started playing? You guessed it, Monster. He went running home, running as fast as he could. He ran to his computer, copypasted /b/'s source code, rebranded it /sci/ and went to sleep.

Some say that mother monster appeared to him in his dreams that night. Some say that not. But one thing is for sure, Lady Gaga is the patron saint of /sci/.) ever become popular among /sci/ducks?

1) How much does it cost to time travel? Is it like going on vacation price wise(in the year 2011 that being lets say 1k - 3k usd)

2) In what decade was it discovered?

3) What year are you from

4) How different/similar is the culture? Is religion still predominant in USA?

5) How fucked is USA's economy in 2030?

6) Do you have sex robots in your era? are they
frowned upon? are women regarded as useless?

7) Does anything from our culture/timeline interest if you, if so what and why, and how does it contrast to what you're used to

1) There Is no price because It Is not commercially used. Time travel is strictly used In special military operations.

2) Time travel was discovered In 2022.

3) I am from the year 2031.

4) The culture Is pretty similar. Not as many people have religion In 2031.

5) The economy has actually gotten a lot better compared to in 2011.

6) Yes we do have sex robots. They are not frowned upon but are still taboo. Why would women ever be regarded as useless?

7) Nothing really has interested me.

Your temporal translocation Permit #45280973 has hereby been revoked.

If you do not comply, retroactive action has been taken.

Can you explain in simple terms how your presence here does not alter the future from what it was?

If you stick around here long enough, will you meet yourself in 2031?

And, of course, what if you go and strangle yourself in your crib right now? You must be alive somewhere if you are from 2031.

Adam March, you are reminded of the terms of your former permit, regarding contact and revelation of possible future events in alternate timelines.

If you continue revealing any more secrets of temporal mechanics, retroactive action has been taken.

This is your last chance to comply peacably. We will soon be forced to deploy memetic kill agents into the memory unit of your translocation device.

Perhaps you misunderstood my question. I didn't claim your being here altered the future, I asked if you could explain in simple terms why it wouldn't. You have clarified this is not the case, but not described how this could be so.

If you have truly traveled to your own past, your very presence here changes how the universe will evolve from this point, and certain explicit actions will prevent your travelling back in time to change things.

In 'The Man Who Folded Himself' (awesome novel, btw), the protagonist can travel back in time, but each time he does so, he creates a new timeline branching off the old. The old universe still exists, and a new one created at the point he travels to. Therefore, he could strangle himself in his crib and that particular future wouldn't have him in it, but since he came essentially from another universe, there is no paradox.

But this is a science fiction novel. You are a genuine time traveler, as you have claimed. Asplain please.
