The answer is simple you will time travel since you smashed the egg it acualy happened so it happened ... heh kinda mind blowing .... but that's single line time for ya ....
OK, so you've decided you're gonna do this experiment.. you put down the egg at 8:00... if another 'you' appears at 8:05 then you refuse to go back in time. If he does show up, you decide to go back. Weird hey... |
The book that I just mentioned 'The man who folded himself' covers exactly this topic. He starts off just messing around and trying to make money gambling on certain winners, but as he tries to correct mistakes he makes along the way, he reiterates himself, and makes it all worse still. He also has the dilemmas of whether he should go back again or not, but finds it impossible to stop himself having one more try. Eventually, he stumbles upon the one certain thing which he cannot ever change.
