Not so ..... because as you say you 'took a peek' into the future. This would have been unnecessary if you hadn't meddled in the past.

There is no going back ... every action we perform, every decision we take .. leads inexorably forward

I'm feeling a bit poetic:
  • The moving finger of fate, having writ, moves on
  • Nor all your piety nor wit
  • Can bring it back to cancel half a line
  • Nor all your tears
  • Wash out one word of it
You cannot observe without having an effect .... I think some famous person called 'hindenberg' or something said this .... whoever he was, he was a man of 'principle'

You have lived up there near the North Pole for so long ... no wonder you think your astral planing. Come in from the cold you silly Pom.
