      Dr. Clef is only trying to kill Hitler, because Hitler became Dr. Bright just before getting locked in a closet with Eva Braun.

      They were equally good at different things. I think it was the fact he realized his pettiness was killing her that caused him to grow up enough to realized he really admired her. With his ego being slowly taken out of the equation he came to realize that just as she couldn't figure it without him he couldn't figure it out without her. And in the end he was left with nothing but regret. So he did the one thing he could that he wouldn't regret.

      @3D Modeller cranky pants... Good and evil stem from your internal prgramming called natural law. Your obvious break down here is due to a lack of purpose. Lack of purpose comes from no responsibility. Perhaps you can see to anothers needs if yours are all met; be your brothers keeper so to speak. Most people prefer a vested relationship... ie a partner or spouse. And with that often comes procreation. Responsibilities become burdensome there. Or you can refrain and live out the same life pondering the reletivities of what is/isn't vs. Could a/ should a... All in all its a life well lived when one knows how to love and finds his/her purpose.

    This reminds meof a story I heard when I was about 12. It was the story of the dog, the bone and the creek. It went like this
    There was this dog. He found a bone which he picked up in his teeth and walked off with. As he headed home, he saw a creek and decided to see what was there. He looked down at the water and saw a dog which could be a twin to himself, only a bit bigger, carrying a bone, also a bit bigger than the one he had. This made him jealous and he resolved to seize it for himself. In his jealousy he pondered. He reasoned that although the other dog in the water was bigger, being smaller and lighter, he would have the advantage of speed and surprise, and could take the bone and be away before the other dog could react. Granted, he would lose the one he had but he would end up with the bigger bone and the other dog could have the one he would drop. So he made his move and dropped his bone into the water. The other dog did the same and now, neither dog had a bone
    I guess the moral of the story is: If you have a bone to pick, be wary or you might find yourself up the creek
    Oh; and in the SCP universe, the other dog jumped out of the water, chewed the shit out of the first dog, jumped back into the creek and walked away with both bones, not realizing that the first dog was that particular universe's 096, neither of them realized that the frog sitting on a nearby rock was actually 682, waiting to croak the two pooches. Meanwhile in the creek, not two feet away from where the two bones had been was this red cinnibar object, conveniently placed there by the writer, who, being an advanced form of feline, did not reckon with canine stupicity and who left the scene looking for some lasagna. Along the way, he ran into that famous bounty hunter Boba Fetish and said. "Hey; Bobe, what are you up to?" Fetish replied. I am looking for an anomolous bail jumper". To which the writer, now disgusted with the turn of events started in the first paragraph said "Oh. so you've become a scp tracer". At any rate, whatever you are thinking about this narrative at this point, you're wrong

    This is why you never, ever, ever mess with time, the butterfly effect and quantum dynamics and the ripple effect are too much to deal with, plus if you change one little thing in the past technically you create a whole new alternate timeline because in the timeline you just came from, we'll call it Timeline A, you never did that little thing, even if its something as tiny as idk having lunch 20 minutes later than you usually would, you did not do that in Timeline A, thus creating a new reality where you did, we'll call this Timeline B, plus if you move something through time, even something so small as say a pen, if you moved that from Timeline B to Timeline A there would actually be 2 copies of the exact same object in the same timeline. As far as I understand it this would be allowed due to quantum entanglement, 2 particles that are the same can simultaneously exist in different points of space-time (which also makes teleportation theoretically possible). But say if you did something like Gupta did in this and he gives the speech instead of Wendell, you have no idea who you might inspire by doing so and what the consequences of that may be, that in and of itself causes a paradox and that's just far too messy to deal with

      This reminds me of Chrono trigger and Chrono cross. So many people hate cross for killing off the cast of trigger, not realizing that the characters had done it to themselves. Even one of them remarks as such. They go through time trying to change the future, so that humanity has a chance and won't be destroyed by an alien parasite. But by doing so, they actually sent the thing into a dimensional void, along with a person who had tremendous magical ability. The two fuse, creating a creature far more dangerous than the original. It falls to someone else, who in the original timeline had died, to fix it all. No, cross isn't well written. But the ideas it presents are what I love. Same with this SCP. The more goopta tried to fix things, the worse it got. Sometimes, it's better to let things run its course, even if we don't like the outcome...

    Under the guise of a close family friend, he suggest to his parents that they name the child John. Miraculously, the name sticks and the baby boy is named John.
    But that raises the question, where did the name john come from?
    The parents?, they didn't come up with the name.
    Was it John?, he was named that from his parents.

    Interesting SCP take on time travel. I believe though that the beginning, end, and everything in between of time happens simultaneously. So any traveling of time has already been accounted for, no butterfly effect, and no ripples. A boring belief but I find it to be logical. I wouldn't call it destiny, more or less a thought that our understanding of how time flows is fundamentally flawed. Resulting in a false belief that traveling in time could ever alter it.

And if we'll look at USSR population diagram we'll see only one time when goes down severely - WW2 when Nazis killed 27m civilians. Same for China with only difference that Japan did it. Before WW2 population was growing with civil war being the last time it went down a little. Same for China - 100m is 1/5 of total population at the time - it can't go unnoticed in statistics. And statistics show that post-WW2 China population was growing all the time. Also if we'll be completely honest capitalism is to blame for WW2. Because about 80% of European countries were happily boosting economy of Third Reich and then joined them in the war, very few countries were fighting against them from day one. Not to mention all the wars in 20th and 21st centuries. I don't remember China or DPRK invading 100+ countries and instigating dozens of civil wars.

    The worst part to me is the pettiness of Gupta and Helzman.
    "I want credit for MY work, therefore I'm going to jeopardize all of space and time by tearing a hole in it just so that I can get some applause at a conference."
    "But I want the FEELING of accomplishment, therefore I'm gonna risk what you, by some miracle, avoided doing, and tear spacetime AGAIN to stop you so that I can experience three seconds of a high that I could've much more easily gotten with a decent dose of molly."
    SCP's best and brightest folks.

    thought about the "time travel through dimensions" before,and the problem with this theory is that it assumes that there is another form of time outside our concept of time (say a time of the multi-verse), so if the big bang begins at this time 10 "seconds" later it begins at another universe.
    it's a good concept but it doesn't follow through logically.

      @@undeadprinceofchaos3731 and that's what the SCP article tries to point out,that particles in other dimensions behave differently than others
      but there is also an assumption that there can be a universe that has different physical difference than ours.
      question is,can the way particles fundamentally behave,speed up or slow down time or change how it even happens (in which case you didn't time travel, you traveled into a universe which is just different)?
      is time travel on the scale described in the article even be possible with such slight difference in time?
      not a physicist so i don't know

    basically, the point of this SCP is to show that every event is linked in a constant flow of cause and effect. any disruption of that flow by a time traveller would have highly destructive consequences. for example, traveling forward in time would be fine, it would be the result of cause and effect. travelling backwards, however, would disrupt that flow and cause a potentially world-ending chain reaction of events
