[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] What the characters know and what [i]we[/i] know are not necessarily the same thing. There's lots of science fiction based on what we now know to be outdated/incorrect science, but it's no less enjoyable. You have to remember that it's fiction; not reality. If the characters believe they are changing the future or past, but in fact they are moving between quantum planes, what difference does it ultimately make? The show is about the characters, not the nitty gritty details of quantum mechanics. It's just semantics, just a more accurate way of describing what happens. Returning to my earlier analogy, the behavior of the Sun and the Earth did not change between the time when humans believed it to orbit the Earth and when they realized that the Earth rather orbited it. It's only our perspective and our way of describing it, our interpretation of its meaning, that changed. Like you said, our observations are not wrong, but our conclusions may be. [/QB][/QUOTE]
