Hey time travellers!


To all the people who've been to the future and know how much money this film will make, can you tell me what this coming weekend's Lotto numbers are?

reply

Yes. But sadly you don't win.

reply

Almost clever. Except that with the winning numbers you can't fail to win.

reply

Here's the deal. You asked "CAN" someone tell you the numbers. You didn't ask someone to "GIVE" you the numbers which is why you didn't win.

With that your wish was fulfilled.

reply

Sure, but that would be spoilers. It wouldn't be polite to post them before the raffle :-)

reply

Since I am able to go back and forth in time, as you have noted, I saw that when you had the numbers you never played them anyway.

That was another reason why you didn't win.

Do you want to know who did win?

Nope. Not telling. :-)

But it wasn't me either. Cheers!

reply

Actually, I'll win, but you can't remember it because that creates a new different timeline that tears the fabric of time.

That damage has caused what's named by time travellers as 'reality paradoxes', paradoxes that wouldn't make any sense in a balanced and stable universe.

Probably you have noticed some of them. A very obvious one is Marvel screwing its own golden goose franchise by getting woke. That wouldn't make much sense in a logical universe, would it?. That's why it's called 'reality paradox', it's a symptom of the fabric of time being damaged ^_^

Except you didn't because no one ever gave you the numbers. Oh wait...

1 2 3 4 5 6 and 7

No wait, again! You did win! Because by never buying a ticket you saved the money and never lost.

Clever. Very clever of you. See, this is why smart people have nice things. :-)

XD

reply

But by giving you the numbers, wouldn't that create an infinite number of future timelines, that in turn creates a massive paradox, which causes all of space and time implode at the speed of light, erm...possibly.

reply

Not as much as Avengers Endgame will make, but I'd suspect it'll be a similar amount to Black Panther or Ant-Man & the Wasp.

I'm afraid there won't be a lottery this weekend. Between now and then, humanity gets overrun by these apelike creatures called Morlocks. They don't let us gamble.
