If there was a time machine and it would be possible to go back in time, our strategic decisions that had a big impact on the development of later events would be slightly different than those that were actually taken in the past. It would result from having additional information about the development of later situations and events.
However, the paradox is that so many people would do it, so the current reality would be almost certainly different than it is, so also our original knowledge about the development of later situations and events would be different and thus the paradox of temporary looping arises.
Do you agree with me on the above matter?
In the context of the above issues, I am asking you the following question:
How can one define the paradox of the time loop if a time machine was created?
Please reply
I invite you to the discussion
It is interesting to start thinking about the question that the information in the time loop would be shared, so if we assume that people would evaluate the intervention with a degree of altruism, for example, atomic bombs would not be thrown at defenseless populations; but likewise they would break the gambling organizations, among other things

If mankind could go back in time, it would, necessarily, take advantage of the foreknowledge and, driven by an insatiable desire to innovate, accelerate its own demise.
Hi dear Dariusz, I have one question for you on Time! can you defined Time without using Earth, and our Sun or without using our solar system? First of all, I believe Time is relative and I wrote this article. It might help your thought, and may be correct my mistake in this article. https://www.academia.edu/38071066/Time_is_Relative best regard Javad
Time is a register of motions (Aristotle). No motion, no time; no space, no motion; no space, no time.
Dear Martin, I believe you said it all, or Aristotle! Time is an absolute intangible entity of universe's biological existence. It is motion like (Wave-like) through it body (Space) or No Space (universe) No Time. Unfortunately by today standard we using our manmade time as universe's time.
Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG,
The above discussion inspired me to the following considerations regarding the issue of the rate of passage of time as the fourth dimension in the Universe. Now, if astronomers were to discover in our Andromeda Galaxy or other galaxy, in a planetary-solar system similar to our Solar System, an Earth-like planetary plan, where all processes would be carried out twice as long, would it be possible to acknowledge that time flies there twice? slower. If the exoplanets were to circulate around this other sun 2 times slower, all geophysical processes and possibly also exoplanet biochemical processes, possible development of life, life processes determined by other life forms would also be carried out at least twice as slowly, would it be possible to recognize that time in this planetary system is 2 times slower than on Earth? Would it be necessary to establish a relative change in the flow of time correcting a different passage of time in these differently functioning geophysically, biochemically, etc. planetary systems?
Time is a measure of motions relative to a reference motion. The reference motion is arbitrary: it can be the full motion of the Earth around its axis, the full motion of the Earth around the Sun, the full blinking motion of my eye-lids . . . Motion is real (and mysterious), time is not. Time is a simple human contrivance for measuring motions.
If the length of the planetary orbit is different: the surface temperature may be different, the length of seasons may be different . . .
If i land on a planet X with different orbit length from that of Earth, i might, for my convenience, define 1 year as the full motion of the planet X rather than as the full motion of the planet Earth.
In the context of the above discussion, the following key questions arise:
How can Einstein's theory of relativity help solve the above described paradox of the inability to travel in time in terrestrial conditions, i.e. without going on a space journey outside the solar system? How can Einstein's theory of relativity help solve the above described paradox in a situation of embarking on a space journey outside the Solar System, i.e. if man could build space ships capable of space travel at the speed of light?
Please reply
At least in one way, i am like Aristotle: i know nothing about Einstein's theory of relativity.
Traveling backward in time would only be possible if all motions in the entire phenomenal realm could simultaneously retrace their previous motions, which is impossible: for example, the mosquito that sucked my blood yesterday and flew away would have to return and inject the blood back into my body, and this would have to happen simultaneously with the Earth rotating in the opposite direction (both around its axis and around the Sun, and so on).
Traveling forward in time is also impossible because there is only one 'now' in the phenomenal realm, which 'now' marks the end of beforeness and the beginning of afterness of time, but itself is not a portion of time. 'Now' morphs one unique before-and-afterness into another in a seamless, irreversible transition.
