Time traveller?

[jb]

As long as the rest of the global communication infrastructure needed to make a mobile phone call, along with someone else to talk too, was also beamed back in time then a perfectly reasonable explanation.

Could be listening to a saved voicemail..

I said to the wife, surely If it was a time traveller they would pick something a bit more earth shattering than A film premiere to go to. She actually  said that's exactly the thing she'd head for, bugger the building of the pyramids etc.

Maybe they did that too? This could be one of any number of time-travelling exploits of the drag-queen super-physicist. Or it could be something of nothing.

No way she is on T-Mobile. Can't get an f'ing reception today let alone in the 1920's.

I recently read a time travel book called the man who folded himself. He went back and did the dinosaurs and who shot kennedy etc. His highlight though was travelling back to give his 18 year old self one up the bum. So I'm saying it takes all sorts to be a time traveller I suppose.

Think that's called the Grandfather paradox.

If you're referring to my time travelling to the past and fucking everything up comment then yes, it's the grandfather paradox. If you went back in time and shot your grandfather (and killed him), you'd have never been born so you couldn't have gone back in time to shoot him.

Think Hawkings said he reckoned there would be some kind of force field that would prevent you going back in time to stop that shit going down, or something like that. Though some people think Hawkings is talking shit and it is possible with alternate timelines and the like.
