    Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequen...ut_Time_Travel

    The film follows three social outcasts; two geeks and a cynic, as they attempt to navigate a time-travel conundrum in the middle of a British pub. Faris plays a girl from the future who sets the adventure in motion.

    Is this a story based on CUK members?

        This kind of time-travel film raise some seriously and deeply profound questions.

        (For example what if she does a shower scene and is only –20 years old?)

          I always hate that time travel carp about going back and murdering your grandfather before your father was conceived and ceasing to exist.

          Clearly, if you had been able to go back and murder your grandfather you would have to have existed to do so. This means that if you did, your grandather would have to have sired a child after his death, which (before freeezing embryos) would imply your father was conceived due to your grandmother being a necrophile or the world was taken over by zombies who could still manage it. This would make you a zombie too and as a zombie you would just wander about stiffly with your arms stuck out and would have had no interest in time machines at all and so could never have murdered your grandfather who would not therefore have been a zombie.

          This paradox implies that due to inventing a time machine you could never have invented a time machine and is absolute proof of the fact that our life is fixed by Allah before we are born and we are doomed to follow the script.

              Yes, it's absolute carp. The laws of physics don't prevent one from being younger than one's offspring though. Maybe they should do a film like that, that obeys the law.

                  I know of a case of two boys born to the same mother on the same day who weren’t twins.
