Nice. 🤣
I did not read through all the posts, so if I repeat something, sorry. Here are some thoughts on time travel.
Let us assume that time travel is possible and at some point in time time travel begins happening. If, in the future, time travel is possible then at all points reachable by time travel time travel is possible. So if time travelers can travel to now and will travel to now, then they cannot mess history up, because they already did it. Any excursions into the past will have already occurred, and history is solid because the effects were always present. So the idea that you could mess history up is a fallacy. If you can travel back in time and do, it already happened so you can't screw up history. The real question is, given this, are time travelers destined to behave how they do, and do they lose control of their actions due to the fact that what they do is already written? So, if we cannot find evidence of time travel then time travel will not occur, at least not in a manner that will allow for excursions back in time to our time period.
Do I believe time travel is possible? I would have to say no.
Read some of Asimov, he had a few interesting time travel stories, "The Immortal Bard" is a decent story. "The Dead Past" is also an interesting "time viewing" story. Although I don't remember him dealing with problems in time travel.

There is no point in going back anyway.
Could well be the real and most surprising reason as to why there are no time travelers from the future.
As I see it, everything anyone has ever imagined about time travel is fiction. Period. We don't know if time really works that way. We don't even know what time is.
We thought we had the moons of Jupier pretty well figured out...until we got there. Then surprises and mysteries galore.
Get rich from time travel? Correct past mistakes? At the very least, they make great fantasies.
If Time Travel was possible, you wouldn't technically be able to fix this present by going back to the past.
If you went back to the Past, any change you made would end up creating a new reality separate from this one. Travel back to the future, and you would most likely end up in the future that YOU provoked, not the future you came from.
Quantam Physics and the alternatr realities theory would support that.
Time is just another term for change and movement. It is a measurement tool. Everything changes individually or in a system. You'd have to f*ck up the whole universe together and return all the molecules their movement and all the planet and energy their movement. Wow, this is retard talk. You will not have a freaking grip on everything all at once, then remember exactly how to take the steps that were taken back.
If anybody believes in the possibilities of time travel by any means (some cool made up system or grid used to turn everything back) than you are not thinking logically and are a total numbskull. Perhaps you should even be locked up.
Or maybe some people believe there is some kind of incredible library wich keeps record of the changes that have been done all over the universe, everywhere and infinitely small and that it can be used to use the amazing ability to turn every miniscule individual change back in the exact right steps all over the universe at the same time, well then you are a freaking moron.
There is one reality and it will not be changed or ****ed up.
yes it is
i think that wormholes do exist because if you think about it theres more then one universe and we are not alone it is possible that somewhere out there there is a type of being that is millions of years ahead of us and all the sightings in penn. you cant really say no to that and if god only made us what for there are other types of beings out there cause why would he just make one type of evolved civilation theres just no point 👽
Well, here's a thought I would like some comments and opinions on.
As far as I understand, most people (scientists and laymen alike) look at the vastness of the universe, and purely as a numbers game figure that Earthlings are very likely Not the only intelligence. Yet as the famous, late physicist Enrico Fermi so eloquently put it, if they are out there, "Where are they?"
This has come to be known as the Fermi Paradox.
Applied to time travel: if it is possible (and I believe theoretically it is, but I could be wrong), then one would think that sooner or later we would get time travelers from the future. But as Fermi might have said here too: "Where are they?"
In other words, if most of us so readily accept the notion of aliens, are we as quick to acknowledge the possibility of time travelers? If not, why not? Why one and not the other?

If time is space, then the future should be like the past, but only retrograde. However, the past is set and the future undetermined. What if the past is also undetermined? What I mean is what if the past and future are chaotic? Then if we did travel back in time we would create a past that is now present, but not attached to the present that we came from. You could go back in time and kill your father and you would still exist.

Well, if a time traveler from our future shows up in an alternate past, then couldn't Our present be an 'alternate past' for some alternate-future time traveler to appear in? 😈

I don't think it is, as in the 'Back To The Future' type of time travel. I know time actually slows down the faster you go, but I think the closest most of us will come to time travel is driving a car or running as opposed to walking. The faster you get from point A to point B, the faster you travelled through time. Right? Maybe?
My theory is....
We will NEVER be able to do time travel, otherwise when they use it, it would break the whole of times barriers and effectively erase all time inbetween when the user used it and the time they actually go to. After all this we wouldn't exist because some fool would have tried to see if there was a god, changing the WHOLE of time, but we do exist, so it never happens 😄
Or... They would actually switch into an alternative universe, and things would change there instead of here ✅
