Sorry mods, I didn't know if this belongs in the GDF or the philosophy forum.

I think it would, it's like when you throw a stone into a pond, the small object creates big ripples.

IF it is possible (but that's not the point of discussion here)

it has been a said a few times you still have two options left then:

1. you could try and kill your dad, grandfather, ... (or on mothers side too of course) but just when you try to pull the trigger, the mechanism fails and you can't change anything in the world anymore and everything stays the same

or

2. you can change stuff and in that case, it can be dramatic... what if you kill someone and later it looks like his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandchild will bring worldpeace or something?

It's much like the movie The Butterfly Effect. Change one thing in history, change everything today. The movie A Sound of Thunder is all about that

I like the ripple idea, but I don't think changing a small thing would neccessarily change the world.

I don't think it would change the world either, but it could change your life and the life of your loved ones.

Yeah, it depends on what you do, I guess. Like if you saved a relative who was killed in an accident, how would things be different?

Maybe during the process of saving them, you'd get seriously injured or someone else you know would end up dead. I don't really know what would happen, but psychologists say that if we time-travelled and changed something then the outcome would not be quiet what we expected.......

What do you mean IF??

People from about 150 years in the future have already gone back in time and 'changed' the past.

And they went back in time thousands of years to make the local people worship them like gods and make the locals be their slaves and have pyramids built for themselves and stuff like that.

That's true.....

They must have futuristic PDAs to keep track of where and when they need to be.

And then they can have all of the local woman for themselves big grinbig grinbig grin

They only have to find an area that they have proved did not contain any ancestors of the people in the modern world, and then they can do whatever they like and get away with it, as their futuristic technology will be able to cover it up. Like when they get bored, they can just move out and nuke the area, leaving no evidence of their existance there
