Will the Artemis Fowl movie come out in 2009 or 2010?

The last I heard, it was due out sometime in 2009, but I can't find anymore updates and such...Sadly.

Is Asa butterfield to old to play as Artemis Fowl?

Age wise, perhaps, but Asa is slight of build and Artemis requires more maturity than an 11 year old can probably provide. If you have seen him in Hugo, you know he can appear quite young, and I am sure he can act quite mature, if you have seen him in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.

What is the name of the fairy in artimus fowl?

You might be referring to Holly Short, one of the main characters in the Artemis Fowl series.

If the 7th book is the last one does Artemis die in the end?

There is no complete way of knowing unless you get the book in '10 or ask Colfer himself. I personally want something dramatic like that to happen as do many others, but it would be quite disheartening due to me and my over-addiction to the series.

What is incident type or complexity based on?

A combination of involved factors that affect the probability of control of the incident.

In Artemis Fowl do demon warlocks need to do the ritual?

Good question. I don't think so- they are so utterly magical, they can go on for hours and No1 can fill Holly up with magic without the use of an acorn, but I'm not sure.

Who is playing Holly Short in the Artemis Fowl movie?

There have been many problems in the production of the movie. Currently, production is at a halt and the parts are not cast.

What is a time paradox?

A time paradox generally refers to a paradox of time travel.

The most well-known time paradox is the grandfather paradox. Follow the logic here: If you went back in time and killed your grandfather, then your own father would never have been born and thus you would never have been born. However, if you were never born, then you could never have have gone back in time and killed your grandfather. Therein lies the paradox. What would happen then? Well, since no one's ever traveled through time, it's impossible to know for sure. There are some theories:

  1. According to the Back to the Future films, the universe would explode.
  2. After killing your grandfather, you would return to the present only to find yourself in a world where you don't exist. Basically, you would be like James Stewart in It's A Wonderful Life.
  3. According to the Novikov self-consistency principle, if you went back in time and tried to kill your grandfather, you would find yourself unable to.

Another time paradox is the predestination paradox, also known as a "casual loop". This was demonstrated in an episode of The Twilight Zone where a man traveled back in time to determine the cause of a famous fire. While in the past, he accidentally knocked over a kerosene lantern and started the very fire he was trying to determine the cause of. Unlike the grandfather paradox, this does not create a contradiction. In fact, strictly speaking, this is perfectly consistent. However, it's a paradox because it seems to indict that free will doesn't exist or that it's an illusion.

An ontological paradox is kind of a version of the predestination paradox. Now, let's say that one day your future self shows up and gives you blueprints to build a time machine. You then build a time machine and travel back in time to give the blueprints to yourself, closing the loop. All this begs the question, where did the blueprints come from in the first place? Well, nowhere, apparently. Perhaps from an earlier timeline.

A quick expanation of a time paradox is imagine if you had a time machine, and you went back and killed your grandfather, as a consequence of this your father or mother would never have been conceived, and thus neither will you have been. The paradox comes into play as this, if you were not conceived because you had killed your grandfather, and your parent wasnt born, and you werent born, this means you didnt exist, and If you didnt exist, you werent around to kill your grandfather in the first place, so your parent will have been born, thusly you would have been too. Its all very confusing. Also, imagine someone you love dies,and you go back in time to save them, and you do, the reason you travelled back in time is to save that person, if that person is saved and alive and well, there was no reason to go back in time anyway, so the loop begins again.

Also in the new show into the universes with Stephen Hawking a crazy scientis builds a time machine, sets it to be a minute earlier then the present, assembles a gun, goes to the other side of the time machine sees himself assembling the gun and shoots himself through the machine.
