I think the general response given in the past is, “if time travel to the past is possible, where are all of the tourists?”
I think I need more coffee.
And time travelling to Fenway Park for anything will simply end up breaking your heart.
Unless you were that zombie on the sidelines in ‘86 screaming, “must kill buckner.”
I find the concept of a time machine amusing. I sure wouldn’t want to be the first to try one, though. I imagine perhaps a miraculous success as the first human safely travel back to a specific point in time and finds themselves surrounded by a black, frozen void as the machine’s atmosphere leaks into space...the inventor and engineers not having taken the expansion of the universe into account...
Nothing to it. I can time travel on the toilet, with no hands.
If “time travel” into the past is indeed feasible, it’s already happened and is part of history. If I, or you, have done it, we’ve done it and are destined to do so at that future time when we did so.
Time travel into the future implies a preexisting future, and thus also demands predestination.
‘First, start with a Delorean, since it has a stainless steel body . . . ‘
The real trick is the flux capacitor; once you’ve built that, the rest is easy.
"Now" is just a fiction invented to keep the future from slamming into the past. ;-)
Simple spelling errors such as this make us look much more foolish than reasoned discussions on the nature and navigability of spacetime.

1. Memories don’t work like that. Your brain isn’t a hi-fi recording machine. Memory storage is much more cut and paste and uses significant amounts of shorthand to both store and recall events. Read “Stumbling on Happiness” by Daniel Gilbert for more on this point.
2. Read “Pastwatch” by Orson Scott Card if this idea/perspective of time travel interests you.

I think the general response given in the past is, “if time travel to the past is possible, where are all of the tourists?”
