This would make a great thread to list your favorite time travel movies and TV shows.

Time travel will never be invented, because someone would have come back to visit and that has never happened.

Perhaps the rulz do not allow one to go back before time travel was invented?

Causality shifts/recrystallizes/goes through a phase change from that moment...

[AFB-XYZ]

Have a feeling lots of people are having the same thought!

As for myself, I want to go back to Christmas Day when I was 18. Declined a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It haunts me to this day.

[null and void]

No. Humans and every animate being and inanimate object are firmly embedded in the cause/effect sequence, and are incapable of leaving that mode of existence.

The river flows to the sea no matter what individual water molecules do, that doesn't stop some of them from watering a garden or generating power. Perhaps some molecules can choose a path that goes through a particular service, but still reache the ultimate goal by the scenic route.

BTW, if your scenario is correct, and we do have no control over any decision, the concepts of sin and virtue are meaningless.

In just one minute you have moved thousands of miles in space and don't even notice

You're assuming our earth isn't the center of the universe.

I better add /s.

[null and void]

If you go back to some other time, even a few minutes, that matter already exists and you would be introducing more matter into the universe that was there before. Big Bang.....................

Well, duh! Observing The Big Bang is the #1 destination for every curious entity in the universe. All that mass showing up in exactly the same place and time is The Big Bang!

[null and void]

Yeah? Prove it was murder!

I have a bunch (too many!) people I want to see again on the other side of the veil.

The classical one is murdering Hitler as a baby.

Really people! All it takes is an ill timed knock on a bedroom door the night he otherwise would have been conceived!

[dfwgator]

I could make the case that without Marx, there would have been no Hitler.

[null and void]

So, knock on his parents’ door.

But if not Marx, there would be another author with much the same something for nothing to sell.

Remember, YOUR first life experiences were communistic.

As a baby you got everything you needed without providing any labor...

I’ll be able to time travel in my resurrection body. Won’t need any time machine.

[scrabblehack]

I wondered about that one. If the newspaper headlines changed, couldn’t the sports almanac change also?

The act of placing the bets could possibly change the results of the game.

[PrairieLady2]

I think it’s easier to go foward in time than backwards. I think this because of an experience I had. I experienced the event before it happened. I was very shakened but who wouldn’t be shaken by a car accident?

Then, a week later, the actual event happened...i mean in my present time.

I knew immediately that this was the event, what was going to happen, how it was going to happen and even what the injuries were. It gave me an opportunity to correct my own responses as well as experiment with a few things. For example, in my foreview, I asked the police officer for a cifarette and he gave me 4 of them. So I tested it and asked the officer for a cigarette and low and behold..he gave me 4! I was sitting in the back seat of a police car in the preview and in the present view. I knew the head injury sustained by my husband was minor and that the police would give him a ride home from the hospital...so I asked the police to take me home. They did and they wouldn’t take me to the hospital which I already knew.
The event was in the future but changing the past occurred when the past became the future..and the present.

And no, it wasn’t dejavu. Drhavu is the “feeling” that we’ve been there before, but there are no actual memories to support the feeling.

So yes, I do believe that time travel is not only possible, but can occur naturally. And that you can change the past in the present because the present becomes the past very quickly! If you know in advance what happens, the outcomes, you can change those things only to a degree. You can only change what YOU do or what you feel.

In my preview, I reacted hysterically so when the present event happened, I was at peace and remained composed. I already knew the outcome.

Im not a mathematician but could my statement above be translated into an equation? I’m sure it could be..and the statement provides the answer. Others have experienced it as well.
