Cracks in time at the nexus of major historical events, possible or not.?

MALACHI  to  MATHEW itself is a crack in time.Time tables at major historical events are not properly understood, and even distorted deliberately.

It could happen at the same time....or never....

Sounds like a question i'd ask Doc Brown on Back to the Future, what happens when history is changed?  Playing with the space time continuum is risky business.  Have you heard of the Chaos Theory?  Any little event can cause major ripple effects that may be worse than the one that was 'supposed' to happen.  For example, you kill al the terrorists who flew into the WTC and Pentagon, which means there was no stopping of commercial airline traffic....which means the terrorists on the west coast were able to carry out their suicide missions...which means one of them struck a nuclear power plant that released radiation travelling world-wide.  You get my drift, and, oh by the way, there were terrorists who were ready to takeover aircraft on the westcoast, but thanks to the FAA clamp down on traffic, their plans were thwarted.  Their targets are unknown, i only picked a nuclear facility to make a point.

The possibility is there,though we will never know the truth.It has been lost centuries ago.

We can only speculate on that. Look into the counter world of this. Each choice you make causes something different to happen. History has the same effect. I believe somewhere that happned. All the worlds are balanced. Okay i got off topic.\nI believe there would be no more u.s.a\n~Blessed be~

Tough to believe I agree. I just spent the last couple hours surfing for other information and opinions. I find the time travel theory plausible. My first question was if his mission was to go to 1975, what is he doing posting in 2000-1? The personal request from his grandfather strikes me as checking on a change to the timeline. So true or false? I am leaning towards true, but if he changed this timeline then future as he describes it is moot. Check out the site below, I found it interesting.

Has anyone ever? In the entire history of the world? Probably. Is it likely to happen? No

I don't think it'll ever be fully reconciled, but it will be closer than it is now.  It seems the pendulum of thought is swinging back toward the dark ages at the moment :(

Everything is impossible, until proved. Seeing as things have happened, it strikes the nothing possibility. It is possible that nothing eventful will happen to you in the next ten minutes, previous experience stands as evidence for this, however hopefully previous evidence also shows that something big might in fact happen, therefore going on both of these sets of data it has been proven possible that a wide variety of possibilities may happen.

If it is possible (and that's a HUGE "if"), there would have to be some kind of rule to the effect of "you cannot allow your actions in the past to affect the future."\nThere was an episode of the old "Twilight Zone" TV show that touched on that very topic.

History has a way of repeating itself.

NO IN NEAR FUTURE.\n PROBABLY COUPLE OF DECADES LATER.

Good one...\nIt'd be difficult to put tomorrow and yesterday in the same group as tomorrow is yet to happen and yesterday has already happened.. One is known and the other unknown. But if you are locked into the present there is only this moment with yesterday and tomorrow totally no chance of happening.

What you have stated is quite true only that inorder to view what happened at thatime you will have to have like a super tellescope mciroscope (if theres any thing by it) inorder to view what happened here at that time time "x" It is not hypotheticaly possible it is possible by all laws the only thing is that currently we do not have that kind of technology.

It is all open to conjecture. Some of the characters or events are actual historical persons/events e.g. Mary Magdalene did exist..whether she was indeed the "wife" of Jesus is open to debate...the Knight's Templar did exist..whether they were privy to "the great secret of Jesus's marriage and blood descendants" is another story...same goes for Leonardo da Vinci. Dan Brown does not make claim that any of these events are in fact true; they are loosely based on historical facts. Archaeology and in deed biblical history/archaeology has a hard time reconciling events in the bible to factual historical accounts. This is because the bible was borne out of oral traditions. There is little that is "eye witness testimony". It is however safe to say that christian beliefs, rituals and practices are an amalgamation of other religious traditions since nothing is born in a vacuum.

I think that history plays a major role in our lives. How would we know anything or be able to do anthing without knowing what happened in the past first?
