Past the Point of No Return: Is there really a no return?

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Phantom:
You have come here in pursuit of your deepest urge, in pursuit of that wish, which till now has been silent, silent . . .

I have brought you, that our passions may fuse and merge - in your mind you've already succumnbed to me, dropped all defences, completely succumbed ot me - now you are here with me: no second thoughts, you've decided, decided . . .

Past the point of no return - no backward glances: our games of make believe are at an end . . . Past all thought of ' if ' or ' when ' - no use resisting: abandon thought, and let the dream descend . . .

What raging fire shall flood the soul? What rich desire unlocks its door? What sweet seduction lies before us . . .?

Past the point of no return, the final threshold - what warm, unspoken secrets will we learn? Beyond the point of no return . . .

Christine:
You have brought me to that moment where words run dry, to that moment where speech disappears into silence, silence . . .

I have come here, hardly knowing the reason why . . . In my mind, I've already imagined our bodies entwining, defenceless and silent - and now I am here wiht you: no second thoughts, I've decided, decided . . .

Past the point of no return - no going back now: our passion - play has now, at last, begun . . . Past all thought of ' right' or ' wrong' - one final question: how long should we two wait, before we're one . . .?

When will the blood begin to race, the sleeping bud burst into bloom? When will the flames, at last, consume us . . .?

Both:
Past the point of no return, the final threshold - the bridge is crossed, so stand and watch it burn . . . We've passed the point of no return . . .

Seriously. Is past really a "no u-turn" point?

Scientifically speaking, there are some possibilities...

See, to make time travel is to......

I don't want to start a Science Lesson right now.

But, there are paradoxes around time-travelling. The prominent one, is the Grandfather paradox.

I agree to this paradox: suppose a man traveled back in time and killed his biological grandfather before the latter met the traveler's grandmother. As a result, one of the traveler's parents (and by extension the traveller himself) would never have been conceived. This would imply that he could not have travelled back in time after all, which in turn implies the grandfather would still be alive, and the traveller would have been conceived allowing him to travel back in time and kill his grandfather Thus each possibility seems to imply its own negation a type of logical paradox.

So, this shows that past is really a no return point.

But, the real message behind this first post is: to choose the right path always, because once you've "decided", there is no turning back...
