Not sure quite what was going on in my tiny little mind today but I had the idea that "What if Planet of the Apes and Transformers are just future versions of our solar system" this came after the revelation that Mars is the only known planet in our solar system inhabited solely by robots. My thinking was that the idea of the fully evolved planets was just a thought or broadcast from a future time that was picked up by someone.
Thoughts could be broadcast, or perhaps wouldn't need to be, if time doesn't necessarily flow the way we perceive it then perhaps all time periods are "next to eachother" in this dimension and thoughts might not be bounded by them. Perhaps they transcend this from time to time and whilst we are hardly adept at telepathic communication perhaps we are at the stage where we are attuned to our own thoughts and from time to time pick up thoughts from ourselves from other times (Deja vu could come in to play here, I don't buy the hemisphere delay explanation)
The other way of looking at this is were prophets just the fiction writers of their time, a time before we knew what fiction was?
Technology imitates science fiction in a sort of big magnet on a gantry attached to the car pulling your car along sort of way. One cannot exert force on the other without an equal force being exerted in the other direction for that but perhaps not so for creative thinking.
Or are science fiction writers the prophets of our age with better storytelling mediums?
Then I got on to wondering about leaps in development of things, Einstein and Tesla etc, what if their breakthroughs were brought about by future thoughts ending up in the past and taking hold there, the subsequent development or thinking time negated by it's arrival in the past. Immune from the paradox, the tangent it was spawned by ceased to exist and a new tangent created the current "true" timeline.
OK think that covers my daydream, thoughts and comments appreciated and no, no illegal substances, just think I hit the magic ratio of alcohol (from last night) to caffeine this morning
