RE: The Power of the Time Machine: Would changing history be the best use?

in #philosophy7 years ago

If you can't change the past, I'd travel to the future, study the stocks and the crypto charts. Then when I returned to the present, I take my portfolio to the moon. :-)

Sort:  

If you can return to the present then you should be able to travel to the past. Also would it really be much different where you make the change if you change something? The future is the future when in the present, and the future is the future when in the past. Really all that changes in time travel is where PRESENT currently is. :)

So many theories, so little time. :-)

Have you read the book "The Time travelers wife"? It has a nice twist on the "reality" of time travel. There is a movie about it (I have not watched) as well.

Nope I haven't read/seen that one.

It's not a theory yet. Just a hypothesis. :)

That's what you think ... and what you used to think ...

:-).

No. What I think would be a hypothesis.

It must be tested, repeatable, etc to become a theory.

Even theories can be challenged.

Until that is present it is a hypothesis and has nothing to do with what you or I think.

That's how the scientific method works. You don't just get to skip all the intermediary steps and state something is a theory.

I was making a Back to the Future joke.

Heh. I saw hints that you might be trying to joke, but I wasn't completely sure. It's sometimes easy to miss that stuff in writing. Sorry. :)
