Solving the Time Travel Paradox

Time travel has always been my favorite SciFi topic. But it has inherently one main issue, the PARADOX.
A simple version of a paradox (to explain it to those of you who for some strange reason are still reading and yet do not know what a time paradox is) would be, say you travel back in time, and while you were driving around in the car you stole (shame on you), you have an accident and kill a kid, who turns out to be you!!!
Now, the problem is, if you just killed your self when you were a kid, that means you never grew up, thus never actually traveled back in time, therefore you did not kill your self, that means you actually do grow up AND do travel back in time to kill your kid self, leading to the point that you did not grow up, ...... you get the drift.

So now, if we are to assume that time travel is a possibility (or at least if we want to build a mathematical module for it) we must resolve this paradox issue.
And I assume I have (although I am pretty sure I created a few other issues in the process) solved this issue by changing a few things we are currently assuming about time.
these changes and some of their implications are as follows:

• Time is 3 Dimensional: this means that time is not just one access with forward and back as our only options. I propose calling them tX, tY & tZ.
• Time is expanding: starting from the Big Bang, time is expanding outwards in every direction just like the physical 3D space is. Forming a sphere that has its tX,tY & tZ center is 0,0,0 AND its radius is the amount of time since time began.
• Movement in time (just like movement in Space) is vectorial.
• Awareness is a single point in time and is the only thing that moves in 3D time, physical objects do not move in time.
• Awareness is only active when our awareness occupy the same 3D time as our physical object.
• There is a natural force (T) in 3D time, just like gravity the physical space, that is constant and is pushing outwards from the center.
• There is a second natural force (P) that is on a plane that is always vertical on T. The exact direction of P on that plane is determined by our actions
• The faster a physical object's speed is, the more it is effected by T and more resistant to P.
• The more an object conscious of the physical world, the less it is effected by T and more effected by P.
• Unconscious objects are equally effected by both forces.
• Unlike normal space, an infinite number of objects can occupy the same 3D time location.
• Every object has a shape and location in 3D time. And a single physical object can have multiple objects in 3D space.
• Objects in 3D time are fixed. In other words, you can not move any objects location in 3D time, you can not change its movement in 3D time, you can not change its shape in 3D time.
• What moves in 3D time is our perception/awareness.
• By interacting with any object in 3D time, you apply a force to you awareness' vector in 3D time, causing it to change direction in 3D time.
• Time travel would be defined as moving your awareness from the edge of  one of your 3D time objects to the edge of another.
• Actual time (AT) is the distance from the tX,tY,tZ point and the center 0,0,0 (radius)
• Time passed (TP) is the difference between between the actual time of two points.
• Our perception (OP) of time is measured as the distance our awareness travel in 3D time.
• Measured time (MT), is the distance an unconscious object travels to move from one Actual time to another.

This might all sound very complected, but let me try to explain it with a few examples:

1. Normal life: in our day to day life, Our perception of time is the same as the measured time, the reason for that is that we just flow with things with a very low frequency of interactions with the physical world.
2. Deep thinking: we always find that when we are in a deep thinking mode, we find that time fly's very fast, the reason being our disconnect with the physical we are less effected by P. This results in a shorter distance to travel between two AT spheres than the measured time between the same two sphere.
3. Boredom: as you are highly attached to the real world and are noticing every aspect of it, we are effected strongly by P. this forces us to travel sideways, meaning we need to travel a much longer distance to get from one AT sphere to the next.
4. Speed of Light: when an object travels @ the speed of light it would theoretically not be effected by P. In reality, P's effect can never be zero. Meaning you can never travel on the exact direction of the T vector. This allows for increased speeds to try and come closer to T. The line that falls on the T vector is the shortest distance between any two AT spheres. (if you want the mathematical explanation of how this fits with the relativity equation just comment here)

This is the time relativity equation
If we move it around we get

This looks like a trigonometric function.
And that means we have at least two dimensions here in time.
What you also would see is that the triangle turns into a line as v approaches c.
This basically means that at that speed we only see the intersecting line as a dot from our single time dimension point of view.

No Fiction No Reality

Last week I went to GCF2012 in Riyadh, and to be totally honest I only enjoyed 3 things: the networking, the Saatchi and Saatchi presentation & the panel of SciFi writers.
And what most enjoyable to me was the opportunity I got to spend some quality time with some of  best SciFi writers in the world (such as Catherine Asaro, Marl O'Green & Dr. Arlan Andrews) and got to discuss some very important fictional topics ;-)

The main topic that I was exploring is the effects of fiction and especially the scientific type on the advancement and prosperity of any society. I have always believed that the main drive behind advancement was SciFi, and would argue that we are yet to see any new invention or gadget that has not been dreamed up in a SciFi story before some engineer/scientist made it happen.
This is very apparent when you look at the contrast between the USA & Japan, each has its own rich and unique SciFi culture, and that clearly shows in the kind of technologies they are each working on. I would argue that the Japanese have a very deep emotional and psychological SciFi that looks more into the supernatural, while the USA has a much more materialistic kind of SciFi that focuses more on the physical looks, feel and power of technology. And this difference clearly effects how products are developed and designed in both these countries.

My point in most of the discussion was that you need a good SciFi culture to drive your economy , and when an economy's quality of SciFi production goes down, so does the economy it self. I believe that the main drive behind the fall of the US economy is what we see in the movie industry today, where they are now recycling SciFi ideas from the 80s. in my opinion that shows that the creative drive in this economy is drying up and no one is willing to invest in digging deeper to keep it running, therefore forcing it to dry off even faster.

But how dose SciFi effect progress and why? what are the main components in SciFi that if perfected would drive an economy forward? What is it about SciFi that drives us humans to advance? and more importantly, How is it that SciFi writers have the vision to know that the bold ideas they are presenting are actually scientifically possible even though every one at the time of writing it called fiction? and building on that, why is it called fiction when it turns out that it was possible?

But as usual my big mouth got me to places I did not intend to go, and I was put on the spot to lead something I did not intend to lead.
Dr. Arlan Andrews, when asked about SciFi in the Arabian world decided (without consulting me) to point me out of the audience as the future of the Arabian SciFi culture (thank you Dr. Arlan Andrews, for throwing that responsibility on my shoulder).

So guys help me out here, if we are to build a SciFi culture for the Arabic world (I know it is ironic that I am writing about this in English), what do we need to focus on to build this culture? how can this SciFi culture help drive us forward into the 21st century? and on a much more controversial topic, how would we have our own SciFi and what are the aspects that would differentiate us from the rest of the SciFi that exists in the world today?
