Today's philosophical discussion is time travel I think there's some things that's not being accounted for and people interchanging certain terms.
Sometimes when we say time travel we combine 4 different things into one let me explain.
I think there's a difference between manipulating time and traveling through time, and people often treat them as if they're the same ability.
If I can rewind the entire world's timeline by an hour, everything, including my own body, would return to its state an hour ago. Unless I have a separate ability to resist the reversal, I wouldn't retain my present body's state and memories while the rest of the world rewinds. I'm reversing time, not independently traveling through it.
But if I can travel through time while remaining unaffected by its passage, that's different. I'm taking my current body and memories into an earlier moment without necessarily reversing the world around me.
For example, if I'm sitting on the third seat of a couch at 3:00 p.m. and travel back to 2:00 p.m., when someone else was sitting there, I now have a physical problem. Their body already occupies that space. My ability to travel through time doesn't automatically allow me to displace them, pass through them, or merge with them.
Those would require additional powers, such as matter manipulation or intangibility. Temporal displacement alone shouldn't automatically grant them.
My point is that rewinding the world's timeline, traveling through time while retaining your present body, and manipulating physical matter are three separate abilities. If your power only allows you to reverse time, you rewind with the world. If it allows you to travel independently through time, you must still account for the physical space you enter. And if you can override those physical limitations, that's another power entirely.
