Yes and NO. When you write about the future you often change the future by writing about it. So, what would have happened might not if you write about it.
That's the first thing to consider.
So, generally speaking I tend not to write about certain things if I want them to actually happen.
But, then there is another level of all this which is to say there are many many timelines not just one. So, it depends upon what timeline you are presently on.
Imagine that each timeline is a thread of a garment someone is wearing like God. Maybe each interwoven thread is a timeline and one of these threads in this sweater is the one you and I are presently on. But, imagine now that each thread in the sweater or yarn in the sweater is a timeline similar (but not exactly) like the one you and I are presently traveling on.
So, for example, someone might die or anything else on one of these threads but on another thread they would not do that so that opens up a whole lifetime of other things they might do.
So, is it possible to write about the future and have it still happen?
Both Yes and NO are the correct answer to this question.
My basic thought is I think in terms of the time on the timeline I presently live on. If I don't write too much about say the next 100 years or so other than to say to people to prepare (in a general way) for global climate changes that will wipe out millions and billions of people over the next 300 plus years this seems appropriate.
But, if I share to many details it could drastically change the future you and I will experience.
This is one of the many problems of Governmental Time TRavel which has existed in the U.S. and then other countries ever since Albert Einstein's experiment with the U.S.S. Eldridge when he tried to make the ship disappear during World War II. But, it did more than disappear, some sailors also traveled forward in time (the ones who didn't fuse with the metal in the ship). IF you ever saw the movie "The Philadelphia Experiment"(1984) was that this was a fictionalized actual account that really happened in 1942 I believe in Philadelphia Harbor with Einstein's disappearing ship technology.
However, the way the movie is written how does one separate what really happened from this fictionalized version of reality? I'm not sure how to answer this because the movie in it's own way changed time on this timeline in some ways already. is that good or bad? It's usually both when something like this happens.
