Reply to What if time travel is impossible because of this? by [deleted]

I think time travel to the past would be impossible given the grandfather paradox. If you’d traveled back in time you’d have to in essence create your own pocket dimension or a whole new timeline to exist in by doing so.

Then there’s the whole notion of all events in your timeline leading up to the point where you travel backward, so once you end up in the past, nothing would change because everything had to have happened to lead you to traveling backward to begin with.

If you cause a timeline to split by traveling backward so that one branch can accommodate you suddenly being there, what would happen to the doomed branch?

Reply to What’s up with the weather forecast this week? by The-Unmentionable

The chance of snow on Friday comes only on the tail of the warm front passing through. When we get air moving over from the south or southwest, it’s typically very warm and moist, and given our current cold conditions, this will provide us with mostly rain starting midday Thursday and persisting until noon on Friday.

Behind this warm front is seasonally colder air, so as that cold air seeps back in the rain could change over to snow for an hour or so. At most we’re looking at maybe an inch, two inches can’t be ruled out to the north and west of the city.

The more dangerous aspect to f all this precipitation will be black ice conditions on the roads in the evening.
