I've been thinking of time travel latly and I found aninteresting link explaining the theory of time travel. What do you think?

Now the probleme is that if time travel existe why isn't humans from the future visiting us? Are they only able to travel to the future?
My final question is: If you could travel trough what would you do? I (like most ppl with some knoledge of WWII) would kill Hitler.

would kill Hitler

ah, but there is the thing, you mat not have been born if not for such an event. if time travel will exist people may not want to endanger their existence.

Ah, but maybe killing Hitler would resault to world peace plus if somoene made my biography they would add that I never existed cause i was killed by a paradox but all my friends and family say that I existed, I'd look cooler.

Actually you would have never existed. everything minutely related to you would have been torn completely out of the universe.

or you could be t78r^*$^*$HNGHDF$OT V of the galaxy. there are an impossible amount of choices to calculate.

What do you think?

That traveling back in time is impossible due to the impossibility to make thing undone (plus, time is a mere concept). You can accelerate some processes, but not reverse them. Which also would explain why we never had people from the future greeting us.

They are afraid of creating a paradox.

There is no need for time travel. It messes things up. Time is supposed to go how it's supposed to go, if we disrupt time then we're all doomed.

If I could travel through time, and NOT DISRUPT THE TIMELINE then I would probably fix all the things that I messed up on...

It was supposed to be about time travel not if I would survive if I traveld trought time and killed Hitler.

I always thought that going back trough time was impossible.
Here's a video of what could be the first time machine but the catch is that you could only travel back in time when the machine was first actavated.

First thing's first, paradoxes as 1337Player stated.

Second thing is something I think happens when you travel back to time...you can not visit the same timeline as the machine was built in, ultimately you travel in another space/time room or what's it called, or you end up in a completely different universe.

And third thing is fact, as you just told us, you can not travel further back in time than the exact moment the machine was activated/invented/built.

Fourth, maybe people in the future have come to some things that you need to solve, there are many problems. For example people in the future will have more "dirty" or more "cleaner" water then now, and when they come back here they can't handle our times water. It's just like when someone from the west where there is mostly clean water from the tap directly goes to Africa. There you can't get clean water directly from the tap cause your western body can't handle it.

There are many problems to be solved also like when you travel back in time, the Earth spins, so if you start of in New York when you arrive to your destination in time - bam you end up somewhere in Asia.

You could but you can only go back to the moment the machine is build.

.

In the video of the first link they talk about something like that. Supposedly Einstein partner had a theory that if the universe turned and you went around the universe traveling at the speed of light when you arrive at your starting point you would have went back at time at the moment you started your trip. But Einstein didn't care about it cause the universe expands, it doesn't turn.

@deathopper

But the Earth isn't the universe. The Earth spins constantly but the universe expands. So even that's a problem I think, you may even end up in a different part of space....

@KFK

So your saying if we travel at the opposite direction of Earth rotation we will end up in another universe? If I'm wrong please explain it to me more.

@deathopper

Okay, that will not be a big problem. But the other one remains, you may still end up in a solid rock mountain or in a volcano. You may even kill people entering the new time if you become solid mass before you've stopped.
