During the 5 year hypersleep the Prometheus travels back a million + years to LV
super-massive black hole
MemberOvomorphMay 20, 20123985 Views72 RepliesThe dark secret or hidden aganeda that Vickers could be harboring is the fact that during their five year hypersleep David tampered with the travel logs and course trajectories and made LV 426 appear to read as LV 223 and they wind up at the Zeta Reticuli system only a million + years in the past.
The Prometheus, during those five years enconters something, some annomolous effect during its intermittent flight. This would then tie in why the Juggernaught crashlands behind them when their running and around them. The reveal is like in the original Planet of the Apes the discovery of the entombed, fossilized Statue Of liberty thus reveals that he has been on Earth ALL ALONG, only thousands of years in the future! The reveal here in this case is some how the Prometheus and that of its crew some how ends up making a jump back in time a million + years to LV 426 in the past.
No traces explain why they will never find anyone in the future because weathering, geological planetary forces, temperature and the slow erosionary processe would thus erode awy any evidence for a future expedition to this world would find. May be the Juggernaught is made of a different type of alloy that makes it impervious to time for ALL TIME!
The Prometheus goes into orbit around what it thinks is the designation LV 223 but it has been tricked. Somehow it will transpire that it is indeed LV 426 all along and that they are upon it millions of years in it past when it weather was perhaps alittle better to tollerate.

@ SMBH - Late to the party?
Time Travel has been discussed to death!
Ridley recently stated that the SJ ship in Alien is not the same ship in Prometheus.

@ Hypernova - actually, I originally argued the point that the Derelict in Prometheus was the same one as in Alien. But Ridley's recent comment regarding the Derelict in Alien muted the argument...
Ridley's Statement (not quoted)...
The derelict Space Jockey craft in Alien was carrying a cargo of Alien eggs, and when the pilot fell foul to his cargo the craft was forced to land on LV-426, this occurred a long time before the events depicted in Prometheus. the technology of the Space Jockeys is millions of years old.

Use the keyword "time" or "time travel" in the search bar!
Normally I would post a link or two, but my duties on the forum are keeping me busy.

@ SS - very good and valid point.
The main reason why fans suggest the idea of time travel in Prometheus is because of the appearance of the SJ pilot in Alien.
[b]DALLAS:[/b]
"Been dead a longtime. Looks fossilized"
What he thought he saw was the skeletal remains of a long dead alien creature. When most people think of a long dead skeleton, they think of Dinosaur skeletons on display in history museums, which themselves are sourced from fossils. Therefore Dallas suggests the creature is fossilized, despite the fact it is not. Remember, he was just the captain of tug boat, and not a very effective one at that.
Had Ash accompanied them he would have corrected Dallas, stating that the pilot was most likely mummified. because fossilization requires the remains of a creature to be buried under layers of sediment, which the SJ pilot was so clearly not.
Furthermore, mummification can happen to a body in a relatively short period of time, in a dry and cold environment, and Acheron LV-426 was dry and cold in Alien.
And lets not forget that what Dallas, Kane and Lambert actually saw was the remains of bio-mechanical suit, which may have decayed when its host died.

Many times people revisit their own theories and start new threads, this fine, just so long as the thread is not identical and it is not done to extremes...
SMBH obviously feels that time travel may play a part in Prometheus, despite the evidence against it. We will find out soon enough.

FTL... (sigh)
This has also already been touched upon...
If FTL exists in prometheus it exists in Alien and Aliens, yes.
Now in Aliens Ripley states that she promised her daughter that she would be back before her daughters 11th birthday, when she took the trip depicted in Alien. In Alien the crew stated that they were only half way home when they were woken up to investigate the Derelict. The system they was in, Zeta 2 Reticuli is 39 light years from Earth, therefore Thedus, where the Nostromo had been would be at least 78 light years from Earth.
Put simply a vessel that traveled using FTL over a distance of 156 light years (78 there, 78 back) would return to Earth more than 11 years in the future if time dilation (which is still theoretical) was a factor, therefore Ripley could not have made that promise to her daughter.
The key factor here is M-Theory, if proven true and used in conjunction with FTL space travel, time dilation would be mute. Essentially, the ship would travel the distance outside the fabric of space-time, much like the hyper-space idea seen in star-wars. Or in other words - wormholes.
