Let's make the assumption that time travel will be possible, for the moment. When it is, why hasn't anyone gone back in time to do something as little as asking someone out to something as big as stopping World War II? This world could be a better place if time travel is used for good. Even so, its use in the future causes us to think if the people around us could be from the future.
Also, time travel could take away from the value of decision-making and gives us a "second way out." What's your take on this?

I for one enjoy comming back to this time. It's right on the verge of true enlightenment. We all visit here regularly but blend in because humanity is not ready yet.

uncomplicated issues would not be complicated to parent out. Nor ought to issues previous uncomplicated. extraordinarily in view that people immediately have a good carry close on technologies. I propose take a dedicated trekkie 500 years into the destiny and he must be like a baby in a sweet save. Take a extremely sensible engineer or someone and they could be in love. even as people expect destiny technologies, its many times alongside the strains of a few thing which couldn't so a concepts off to what all of us recognize already. little question people concept-about the concept of a cellular telephone no longer lengthy after the first telephone. It only took plenty more desirable steps and time. Like how flying automobiles were "the destiny " in concept for a lengthy time period. also, we assume in accordance to ideas that are generic yet no longer completely understood. Like flying. Da Vinci drew up plans for a helicopter yet fairly he wasn't the first with that concept. Its the technologies that comes from technologies already in life that we do not expect. seem at television or the internet. those ought to freak out people interior the previous the position as a plane or vehicle would not. As a lot besides. and extremely, what new technologies ought to we arise with that we haven't seen in videos or examine in books, some thing that few if any people must be able to expect? If the destiny has ideas interpreting machines cyborgs spaceships and teleport pads, we will be surprised yet no longer shocked. We wont grow to be afraid and phone it magic the way someone from 500 years in the past ought to work out our international immediately. Watch a small new child use a effortless computer drawing software after only attempting it once. Say a 5 3 hundred and sixty 5 days previous. not often knowledgeable in what the international extremely has. that kid will use it and luxuriate in it. yet 40 years in the past that similar computer ought to of blown away the minds of extremely sensible medical people. 80 years in the past it will be a secret locked up and studied through the authorities, calling interior the right minds interior the field. three hundred years in the past it will be seen magic and perchance a handful of people ought to carry close what it became. we are getting used to technologies. i believe the age of being very shocked through technologies is pretty a lot over.

Assuming time travel is possible, there are a couple of possibilities. 1. Time travelers do visit regularly but we don't recognize them...maybe UFO's are time machines 2. Time travel is theoretically possible, but really impractical...maybe time machines require a huge amount of energy or need to be as big as a planet 3. Time travel is only possible up to the time when the machine is first built...maybe something like a time portal where you need a machine in both times. More than likely, time travel into the past isn't possible. Even if it were possible, you wouldn't be able to change the past. The past has already happened. :) As a physicist, I'm currently leaning toward the "time travel into the past is impossible" side.

If it will be possible to travel back to any time you wish we would already have found out about it. Time travel could still be possible to travel backward a limited amount of time or forward. If we pretend for a second that it is possible to travel backward to whenever you want then whenever the past is altered, all events after that are altered. So if someone were to stop a war then we would have no recollection of that war because our history would have been altered when the past was altered.

A simple understanding of time travel would suggest that the simplest of acts could influence time in such a way, that it could affect the main timestream; thus, in effect would potentally threaten the travelers future, perhaps the current existence of the timestream. So in conclusion, may I suggest that the possibility of time travel is only available through discovery of those who have already possess it. Thus, in this era in which such chaos is possible, discovering the availibility of time travle would further advance the destruction of time and matter.

Time is just energy taking form.To meet Julius Caesar is asking the energy to match those exact forms.There is better chance for you to die and let eternity take over.There is no witness to the permutations of form in the past.Chances are you will ask a similiar question in the future.

You have answered your own question.
If time travel were possible all eras of time would be crowded with time travelers.
I would be one of them.

If I had this machine, I'll never change the history events because we don't get it if we don't see by our eyes - see atomic bomb.
I'll do some travels and write a true history book who will never be a best seller because the secret services and cults will make me regret that and I'll die poor and hunted like an animal. DOSE IT WORTH IT?

How do you know they haven't? If they did travel back to our time and toyed with their past, they may go back to a completely different future, or not exist at all.

My thinking is that because no one from the future has traveled back to our time suggests that such a thing will never be invented.
