You can't take actions in the present which will alter the nature of the past.

Well aren't you a genius?

It's nice to dream, though. You should try it some time.

Lostzilla,

go and pick up a dictionary and look up the word "fiction".

Correct me if I'm wrong but they didn't do that in the movie! After talking about it they did some things differently in the past to change the present not the other way around.

Did you acutally watch the movie?

John's character alters the past(and his present) by feeding his father information. So yes, but they did do that in this movie.

Yeah, what actions were taken in the present? Everything was done in Dennis Quaid's world, which was the past. What are you talking about?

Frank couldn't have done anything if John hadn't given him information from the present. That's the action taken in the present that affects the past.

It has been proven that changing the past can change the present and the future.

Read "The Power of Awareness" by Neville. YOu will never view your life the same again.
