Okay. Almost all of the heroes of the Protoss but think about this... Since the Protoss have mastered the time-space continuum, isn't it possible for them to time travel? I have a speculation that a new Protoss hero would be a time-travelling legendary warrior Protoss from the Aeon of Strife or from the future. what do you guys think?
they actually did this in one of the bonus missions, Taldarin was put in a stasis cell for a couple thousand years and then placed in dragoon armour, he also fought alongside Adun.
Since the Protoss have mastered Time and Space, it is only reasonable that they have created laws in which to follow. Pulling a prominent figure from the Aeon of Strife or the Kalath Intercession would surely alter events which could lead to the downfall and destabilization of the Protoss race and civilization. That was not time-altering (well maybe because the cell did last a 1,000 years or so) as they did not go back into the past to recover him, they simply placed him in suspended animation in the Stasis Cell.
I know that you are not talking about suspended animation, read above the quoted post. I think the Protoss understand what would happen if they were to alter the past. Also if they could go into the past with relative ease, the Brood Wars, let alone all the events of StarCraft would have never happened. So I think it is safe to assume that we will not be seeing any hero from the Protoss past. Thinking further, I doubt that the Protoss could go back in time but only alter it in it's current state. Remember the Time Bomb ability of the Mothership? It only slowed down time within the field, resulting in projectiles being slowed to a crawl. Also, the Arbiter could only rip a small rift through space to bring in troops from anywhere on the field AND in addition to destabilizing local reality to generate its distortion field, the Arbiters are capable of strengthening discrete pockets of space-time.
It is potent enough to freeze "absolute pockets beyond the reach of any normal interaction, friendly or otherwise" and slow objects down, but I do not think it is strong enough to revert time itself.
If they could do that (revert time), it would feel more like startrek than starcraft...and that would kill the game (for me, anyway). Or maybe it would be like Red Alert 2...
Slugonice stop using bolds dammit! in each and every one of your posts you use bold and trust me, that is anoying as hell! and this isnt the first time you have been told about this, you should have been alredy punished, so please dont use bolds any more. And for the topic, yeah it would be awesome if adun could come and kick some ass, or some one like that, maybe the most powerfull protoss warrior ever... i dont know possibilities are limitless
But if they were to take Adun before he was to "banish and execute" the rogue tribes, the dark templar would not exist as the Conclave could have found someone else without compassion to do their bidding. Therefore, no Dark Templar would equal to no Shakuras would equal to no melding of thoughts and war technologies which as a result, would pretty much mean a war-torn civilization because of sectarian groups. If Adun was taken, there would be no unification of the Protoss people and that means the Protoss would not intermingle with human affairs under the Dae'Uhl! But he would make an awesome hero.
C´mon if a race should have time travel, it has to be the Terrans. Never heard of M. J. Fox? Is he a Protoss?
ImaGine, you're missing something here. If they do take someone from the AoS, then they already have and put them back. Whatever you change in the past is changed in the present.
What? Yeah, by taking a prominent figure or any figure for that matter from the Aeon of Strife, you not only take away what fate has decided, you could possibly ruin the future of the Protoss as a whole. Let us take a prominent figure such as Tassadar for an example. If you were to travel back in time to bring him to the future, the Overmind would have never been killed and the Protoss would not have any relations with the Dark Templar. You may say that you can simply go back in time to the exact moment before Tassadar crashes the Ganthrithor into the Overmind, thus sparing him the sacrifice. Though you may forget that he was the one who had melded together both templar energies needed to actually kill the Overmind itself. If you were to take him before he crashed into the Overmind, the Overmind would just have a giant ship smashed into his "face" and that is about it. He will regenerate and the Zerg will never run rampant because of the loss of the "collective will" of the Overmind and the events surrounding Brood War would have never occured.
If they take some warrior out of the Aeon of Strife, then that has already happened, therefore it's assured that they'll get back. Cause it's in the past. Ah, but what if you take him to the future, and then return him? That's what I'm saying right there.
My theory on why Time Travel is an irrelevant subject to be seriously considered as it truly is not Time Travel. As is with all things their is a constant balance that remains in check within the natural order. If you remove a certain aspect of that order it will change. It will still be the natural order, but, of a different existence. So, with that in hand. Time travel cannot truly be considered time traveling. It can be considered alternate reality traversing as when you remove something from a set reality it becomes an alternate to that set reality. You have successfully removed an element of that time and sent it to another time within the set period. This would cause a chain reaction within that time period by changing the circumstances to which that time was set to occur. Effectively and simply speaking. Time Travel = Alternate Reality Traversing = Unraveling of All Realities. And with that concept in mind it will effectively render that time or reality into chaos as you have removed a essential part of that existence and added it as an unessential part of another. This would also offset the other Reality in that it now has an unneeded component. So if this makes sense to anyone Time Travel = Irrelevant.
Quantum Physicists pretty much agree that time travel is most likely impossible. It defies the laws of physics. Even using a wormhole isn't really traveling through time. Meanwhile, if the Protoss could travel through time, they would just go back and kill the Overmind in its early stages on Char.
