Re: Grammar of time travel

Hi,

 If time travel is included in a language, I think that part of the language
will sort of be philosophical (in that it reflects the conlanger's belief/view
about time).

  I was wondering what you all thought about these things...

 Is time is tenseless or tensed (Is time just another dimension equivalent to
space or are we actually "moving throught" time)?

  Is time absolute or relative?

  Can time "branch"?
