What Happens If a Time Traveler Dies in the Past?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the implications of time travel, particularly the consequences of dying while in the past. It raises questions about whether a time traveler's existence is tied to their original timeline or if they would cease to exist in the past. The concept of a "link" to the original time is explored, suggesting that a time traveler may not fully escape their previous existence. Additionally, the dialogue touches on the philosophical implications of time travel and the potential for death to complicate its feasibility. Ultimately, the conversation suggests that the complexities of life and death could pose significant challenges to the concept of time travel.

What if an individual engaged in time travel, going backwards thru time, were to die while at some point in the past. Would they "die" while in the Past? Or would their existence still be tied to "where they were" before traveling to the Past? Would this mean that a "time traveler" would have some sort of "link" to the point in Time before traveling backwards thru time? Does this mean that Time travel is not possible because of a "death" factor?

The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
