(If you’re watching Heroes, this post will make more sense. If you’re caught up to this week’s episode, read on. If not, you might wish to take anti-spoilery precautions, though I’ve not revealed too much. Most of this is speculation.) The trouble with time travel is causality. Causality has little mercy, so the life you …
