Wielding's laws for beginners - introduction

Let’s make rocket science of 20th century look like primary school basics.
Take causality relation. A causes B, simple as that. We all know it. Now let’s bring it to the next level: A is a piece of alien tech from future, and B is a brand new model of computer. It wouldn’t be half as quick without these little innovations and inspirations its authors got from A, which accidentally had fallen on our dear planet Earth through a time rift or other shit. Future influences past, or, from our prospective, present.
Let’s take another step further. Alien tech A was strongly influenced by a device called C, B’s descendant. C inherited many of the features B got from a familiar piece of alien tech… got it?
Then take a look at another example: I wouldn’t ever think of that if not due to a person who is supposed to be from the past, but actually came to 21st century from some future. Let’s make a brave assumption that it’s me, not the armies of physicists from MIT and Oxford, that is going to create the basics of actual time science. I love that assumption, by the way. But then – that person wouldn’t come here if I didn’t invent the laws I might invent one day, right? There’s a nasty paradox ahead, and we shall get rid of it.
Solution no. 1: someone has re-written history, just that one point, the moment of discovering these laws, and the rest of it has re-arranged itself so that the whole story would make sense. Possible.
Solution no. 2: the moment it happened, two realities emerged. One in which such laws are Wielding’s laws, another in which they’re someone else’s laws, and Wielding is just that poor sod glaring into Torchwood computer screens day by day. And probably a few other realities.
Solution no. 3: both previously thought-up events happened. I’m placing my bets on this one.
So far so good. We’ve got history re-writing and multiplifying itself over and over again. Did I mention that time ain’t linear anymore? Not that my neuron-based ape brain could get a good grip of that idea. Sometimes I think I’m getting close – I manage to stop thinking the human way for an infinitely short while, and I imagine time as a spot, everything happening at once, in a glimpse, in a split second, expanding rapidly far beyond my comprehension. Big Bang? There’s nothing else BUT Big Bang. It’s still happening, and nothing more ever would happen, ‘cause Big Bang is time. Of course, you might also think that this means that somehow, somewhere, you’re dying and you will be dying during the whole eternity. Well, yeah. But it also means your life is eternal. In a way. I don’t know which of these statements is more miserable, after all.
That’s it for my obviously narrow mind, and for yours, possibly, too. But it’s fairly enough to start considering time travel and other shit. Enjoying yourself? Get ready for time-space branching and parallel universes, and I don’t mean the “21st century academic” edition.
