time travel

[captaind00m]

i was thinking about that gender neutral person who wanted to rebuild the city.

was he stuck in time? or did he do a time travel ?

what if our character could fix the city by preventing the catastrophe in the first place. but then a paradox would happen

it could go out in two ways

1) making a new timeline

|<---------------------------------------|

| |

--------------------Z------------X----------------------->

\

\----------------------------------------->

X- being you when you arrived at reborn city

Z- time before any bad stuff happened

2) closed loop

|<-----------------------------------|

| |

--------------------Z------------X--------------------- >

maybe you are the one who caused it in the first place

That'd make for a really bittersweet ending - where you saved a bunch of people, but none of them ever met you and don't know all the good you did for them, no matter which way the timeline recreates itself.

Considering that Team Meteor is planning a second fall, it feels like most of the rest of the story will be focused on preventing that, since so much effort has been already made by Adrienn, Ame, and the leaders to restore Reborn.

I believe that the gender neutral character was stuck in time. He was stuck in the chamber where you fought the ditto(arceus) so he was alive but stuck in time, as the world progressed without them

I presume you're talking about Adreinn?

He didn't travel through time, the Sanctum he had entered had a different flow of time as compared to outside. Therefore day or so he had been in there in fact were 10 years outside.

An area where time is slowed down, and it only feels like you've been gone for a short time.... Sounds like the resting place of Dialga to me!

"gender neutral"

"he"

Adrienn's pronoun is xe.

(not trying to be rude so sorry if it comes out that way, just noticed that it was acknowledged Adrienn is gender neutral while at the same time "he" was used to refer to xem)

[Jmanultrax1]

yeah sorry I didn't mean to put "he" I mean "xe" lol

*doesn't know enough about the story of Reborn to comment on the actual idea presented here*

*looks at timeline drawings*

The first one, in temporal mechanics, is called a deconvergance.

Assuming that temporal physics in Reborn works the same way it does in Star Trek, you will end up overwriting the original timeline, unless someone from your newly-created timeline goes back and recreates the original timeline. If both timelines need to exist in order for anything to make sense, it changes from being a deconvergance to a disentanglement, and both timelines will continue beyond the point when you went back in time (the far right of your diagram).

Assuming, on the other hand, that temporal physics works the way it does in Fire Emblem: Awakening, then there's no weirdness with timelines dying, and both timelines will continue past the right side of the diagram.

The second one, commonly referred to as a "grandfather paradox", is more correctly called a "self-consistent causal loop". In order for something to happen, someone had to go back in time to make it happen. But in order for them to know that it needed to happen - and for them to go back in time - it had to have already happened.

there is that theory the faster you go the slower the time passes. traveling at the speed of light. your time is slow, one day for you, could be months or years for someone other

there is that theory the faster you go the slower the time passes.

It's not a theory as much as actually proven through experiments.

This ^.

Though it varies from experiment to experiment, person to person etc.

Still waiting to find a blue police box in reborn that I can use as my secret base pls reborn modders?
