Thank you, Marcus, for your kind words. That’s my main purpose here on Medium is to bring people thoughts and perspectives they haven’t thought before. That’s also why I love teaching philosophy.

I like your concept of time travel, and I grant that my article focuses only on the linear conception of time, which is probably not accurate, (I agree with Bergson’s conception of time). I also like the idea behind the quote “the universe isn’t more complex than you suppose, the universe is more complex than you can suppose.” So, I like poking at science’s assumptions that they have so much figured out.

Not sure what to think about alternate realities and reincarnation and the like. As a philosopher I am open to the concepts, but I’ve been focused on this reality and life for personal reasons. I feel, and hopefully am correct, that I am reaching a point where I can start broader explorations, if you know what I mean.
