Time travel...

I watched the movie "The Time Machine" yesterday and I must say I was quite impressed by the little explanation that it provided to the question of our inability to change our past and how even time machines are futile in fulfilling that ambition of ours.

The protagonist in the movie loses his lady-love to a freak accident and then decides to build a time machine to change the past. But, in his re-attempt, he loses her again. This makes him wonder why he could not prevent her death to which he gets an answer later, that had she not died, he would never have invented the time machine and thus he himself is the reason for her death!

That means, whatver we may do, we may never able to prevent what fate has in store for us. Thus, somehow, bringing into our lives, an unknown known as providence and a theory to naively explain the unexplained; a theory that is popularly known as God!

And some thought science could overcome religion! :)
