Science - The Bootstrap Paradox Poem by Paul Warren

Science - The Bootstrap Paradox



If you take something from the present
And place it in the past as you have sent
It starts what can be a predestined event
This is known as the bootstrap paradox vent

Dr Who used it to get out of a bind
So it made an interesting find
And how an event really occurred in our past history
Is remembered in today's accepted historic story?

If you were to go back and find your favourite song
Was now not written for you to sing all along
So that you have it as part of your musical repertoire
Would you give it to the composer and so not have a memory mar?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
The paradox is an interesting one. Are things predestined. Do we need the past to match what is known of it in the present. Are things that are one accepted are the true account what actually happened or is it just how the world now remembers them. Interesting thought. Perhaps history is just now what has survived and we may be surprised at what actually happened if we could return to it.
