The purpose with this 'experiment' is in using one prediction or another to see if there are any strengths 'outside' of probability (a now factor) that bind us to a supposed 'future'.
I'm new here and don't know anything much about physics anyhow. And don't believe that Time exists myself. But as there are actual physicists out there who do theorize that Time may be real, then I figure it might be possible to test out those claims in some way if it only can done to a small degree. That is if the future is real (Doc Brown gets it wrong) it might be that we can in some way detect its existence from this the present.
For example: The next transit of Venus is set to happen in near 100 years time, this event calculated from its orbit now and still something that we could do very little to change. Is it then already part of the future based on the near impossibility of any other incident preventing it happening. Is our inability to prevent something in particular occurring evidence of a future (it could be much of what we do is to some degree constrained by future events).
How this question comes up is that I'd made a simple projection some years back, one that has in the last few years turned into a now (dire) prediction, that despite all attempts I cannot make any headway in presenting. Leading me to consider that it is inevitable, a part of the future. This possibly explaining why as a challenge to an outcome that's already in existence there consequenlty not a lot can be done?
Or more easily understood in the instance of the grandson, having found his way back to the past before his father had been born, finding his attempts to kill his (presumably evil) grandfather are continually being frustrated, a result of being part of an existing future outcome himself.
Now, this relies on a time travel scenario, but that said if the future is real then we can for the sake of the argument consider ourselves as being pseudo time travelers?
