It's an impossible scenario .... I know ... I battled this for about 15 years back in my youth.

I used to to be an avid sci-fi reader and was fascinated with time travel.

After the initial impact, I decided to REALLY analyze how to travel back and forth and observe the impact.

I concluded that all my thoughts today are the result of my past, which .. if it had been altered .. would also alter my thought PROCESSES, leaving me TODAY with an entirely different set of facts and data that ... perhaps ... I would never entertain the thought of time travel ..

thus

It is an impossible scenario

But I had a lot of drunken and otherwise altered fun contemplating the whole thing ..... not to mention how many people I drove crazy because I was mad

I agree that time travel for humans seems like an impossible scenario ... time seems to measure movement and change as we observe and experience it. As physical beings we are physically locked in the present.

To go back in time would require that the physical movement and change that has happened can be erased. To go forward in time would require that movement and change that has not yet happened actually may have happened after all. This is illogical and goes against the laws of nature.

God started it all creating a physical reality that moves and changes as each present moment passes. That is the nature of our physical realm and time simply helps us measure movement and change that in turn helps us reflect on the past and plan for the future. Time is a tool for our physical realm and would not be required without intelligent beings to make use of it. Other insentient physical entities would just continue to move and change without consideration of time :) IMHO
