AI Thread Summary
Preventing one's parents from meeting raises questions about the implications for personal existence and the concept of time travel. Current physics theories suggest that such time travel is not feasible, rendering the scenario hypothetical and unanswerable. The discussion highlights the paradoxes associated with altering past events, particularly regarding causality and identity. Ultimately, the consensus is that since time travel to the past is not supported by scientific evidence, the question remains purely speculative. The thread concludes with an acknowledgment of the limitations of discussing impossible scenarios.

What would happen if you went back in time and prevented your parents from meeting? What would happen to you?

Since that's not believed to be possible, it's a fairly pointless question.
 
As phinds says, our current theories of physics say this is not possible, so the question can't be answered. Thread closed.
 

Thread 'Need help understanding particle physics and quantum physics'

So I know that electrons are fundamental, there's no 'material' that makes them up, it's like talking about a colour itself rather than a car or a flower. Now protons and neutrons and quarks and whatever other stuff is there fundamentally, I want someone to kind of teach me these, I have a lot of questions that books might not give the answer in the way I understand. Thanks
