 		SPEC: Possibilities of time travel
A few days ago I wondered what might be possible with this time travelling.
I suppose (Somewhere it was written) that changing past is possible.
What effects would it leave, especially when you cause a paradox?
Is it possible to travel into the future?
Did Jake see something in the future? Is it why he is so closed lately towards Meg? (Meg's death?).
He appeared weird when he's seen his child. Will something happen with his child? Maybe Meg will die when his child is born? Will Jake change the course of time to save Meg?

I just had to write this down before I forget it. It might trigger some idea in someone.

Depending on which theory you follw: Paradox is avoided in the "Multiple Universe" theory. i.e. you are going back/forward in time but not necessarily to your own universe, just one close enough to yours that there is no measurable difference.

The same principle that allows one to travel backward, in theory would also allow one to travel forward. However, the information we have received from the game so far deals with travel to the past only.

I think Jake saw something in the project (current time frame) logs he did not like.

 		Somewhere Jake mentions they must develop a protocol to avoid paradoxes:

We still cannot isolate how we froze the wormhole. I'm beginning to think we need a try something completely different. Kris is off to ask for funding for a larger RHIC. I get to pour over data while he is gone and now someone from higher up has asked for me to begin writing the plan for full deployment of humans through the wormhole and how we prevent a paradox. It's a bit premature but ok. 2002 Jun 21 10:10
