So every now and then I have to listen to some blowhard explain in detail why their time travel theory is the correct one and why even though they have alternate timelines or whatnot there's no paradoxes. The theories are usually not very scientific. So I am going to be the blowhard today and regale you with why I am right. I've held my tongue for too long. I support the only theory that not only doesn't have paradoxes, but which we can infer from how time works in the universe and which has mathematical proofs and theoretical evidence. The way we perceive time is an illusion imposed by our cognitive process. We can only see time flowing in one direction. Time has directionality, and because of that events are not disjointed and have cause and effect. Reverse time also has directionality, and so events should be recognizable when they are played forwards or backwards. Forwards time should see cause go towards effect, backwards time should see effect go towards cause. The cup falls off the table and shatters, the cup regenerates and rises to rest on the table. The events can not change once they were already set in motion - once they are recorded/observed, if you will.
