Scientific inaccuracy section

[edit]

I deleted this section for three reasons: 1) the first purported inaccuracy did not make logical sense (unless the description of the film was inaccurate), 2) the second was far too vague to make any sense to someone who hasn't seen the film (which is the article's target audience, mind you), and 3) this might not be noteworthy information even if the previous problems were solved. In a Disney film about time-traveling teens, scientific or logical errors are not inherently noteworthy. Nonetheless, I would not object to putting these items back in once the first is corrected and the second specified. Epistaxis (talk) 01:11, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't see the point of the current version of this section at all; for one thing, as was already mentioned, pointing out 'scientific inaccuracies' in a Disney time-travel flick is hardly necessary, and second, the latter half of this section is just a ham-handed description of the Grandfather Paradox, which is an issue with just about any depiction of intentional time travel in fiction. Why this article needs its own separate description of it is beyond me. At the very least, this section should be replaced with a link to Grandfather paradox, although I think a more appropriate solution would be removing it entirely.
