I've read stories like that.

Time travel, if possible, can ONLY have you going into the future, as the past already exists.

You CAN'T go back and kill Hitler, because you were born in 1967.

Kill Hitler, time changes, your parents meet or don't, you can't possibly have been conceived so you can go back in time.

Fun to think about, though.

I say, Pub, if I ever see United Nations troops standing at the ready to enforce this decision, if there’s ever a problem, I’ll just walk out on the balcony here - walk out, put that double barrel shot gun and fire two blasts outside the house - I promise you whoever is coming in will be laid out in style.

There’s another reason Time Travel is impractical, as well.
Remember the old physics law that says, “Matter and energy can neither be destroyed nor created, outside of nuclear reaction, it just changes form.”

There is a finite amount of matter and energy in this universe.

If you leave this time and travel, forward or backward in it, you would be ‘creating’ more matter than the universe had in it at that time. All matter in you and your machine was here, in some oth. form, at the time you chose to visit. The same matter cannot be in two places at the same time. Every atom and erg of energy must balance out and be accounted for.

So, in order to travel in Space-Time, you would have to transfer the exact same amount of matter and energy to the place you left, and vice versa when you come back, if possible.......

The whole point of the Trump movement is to rid ourselves of the entrenched Washington politicians, those corrupted criminals of both parties who do the will of their globalist masters, and not the will of the people. What has Cruz done? He has done everything he can to maintain the power structure, it will be business as usual in Washington, and likely Jeb Bush the nominee. After all Bush said he would be, and Cruz is going to ensure it.

By their fruits you shall know them. And Cruz is establishment fruit, changing nothing, deceiving the people, giving them the pretense for a little while they are not voiceless and powerless, and so will mindlessly following the “renegade” Cruz, the Judas goat who will bring them back into the fold to be shorn and shackled, and then business as usual for the elites and their globalist masters.

This time traveler story by Dan Simmons is particularly relevant today.

Thank you. Do you like ghost stories too? If so, pick up Old House of Fear by the great conservative intellectual Dr. Russell Kirk. Most people don't know that Dr. Kirk was the 1977 H.P. Lovecraft Award winner for fantasy literature.

No, not that big into horror except what I write myself, some of which is published.

And now I wonder what shocking news from March 23, 2017 a time traveler could bring back.

I was there 2 weeks ago. Obambi is still blaming Bush for everything.
