Do you think that its alright to travel in time?

Question

do you think thats its alrigth to go back and fourth in time.

Answer 1

Fine with me.  Go for it!  Really, until someone shows up with credible evidence that they have come to us from the future, I'm going with the assumption that time travel is not possible on a macroscopic scale.  If it ever becomes possible, it will present such new concerns that there are currently no ethical guidelines or rules of right vs. wrong to adequately address the issue.  It will be such an appealing opportunity that it would happen, so rules and ethics would have to be developed, almost from scratch.

Answer 2

We move around in time everyday,But would it be good to go back in time to see the real past  yes ,we already move forward in our dreams but we must record the dreams to find the meaning.

Answer 3

Sure, why not!  In fact, I would love to travel into the future to the point where I have completed my Master's degree!

Answer 4

as much as i really want to time travel, its too dangerous to travel back in time

its less risky to travel to the future

cuz one rong move in the past can change the entire future...

there was this movie i forgot the name of

they make a time machine for ppl to go back in time to kill a dinosaur and they make sure that they kill it the sec it supposed to do so no harm done

but this one guy got scared and killed a butterfly and the other ppl turns the filter off cuz of the expense

the entire world started to change.

each less complex species changed, it pre-evolved

then it was down to the humans and this one guy got to the time machine and when to the time the mistake happened at the last sec and fixed it

he screamed at himself to check the filter

then disappeared

that gixed everything

but in the movie, he just killed the guy who made the mistake

in the book, there was an election

the good guy whoi was supposed to win lost and the bad guy won the election

and the world was moved back like 1 century in sciencific advances lol

in the movie, the humans changed into this wierd slimy white thing

it looked like chimera if u have ever seen yugioh

for the future, u should only tell the future ppl out history not to learn of our future or else everything might change

Answer 5

have you ever seen the movie The Butterfly Effect? i agree with the whole history would be chanced forever theory but i think it would be cool to be able to go back in time. what better way to learn about history.

Answer 6

As long as you change nothing but that would be impossible,

Answer 7

NO actually i dont. Yes it would be pretty d**n cool, but think of all the things that could go wrong. If someone were to go back in the past and leave something from the future there, it could change everything in the past, even their existence. I think it is Way to dangerous to time travel, it just screws things up

Answer 8

Sure.  Do it all you want.  No problem.

Answer 9

Yes, because I happen to be a real-life time traveler. The only thing that I would STRONGLY suggest that you keep in mind, however, is that when you change 1 thing about the past, that 1 thing, no matter how minor it is, affects everything that happened after it as well.

Answer 10

Back: NO!

It is possible, but it certainly is NOT alright. If you alter events in history, then the you in the present will have no need to go back in time to fix that period in history, and so, there won't be anyone around to change it, so the present you WILL have a need to go back in time etc. etc. and there will be an infinite loop in your timeline. Even if you didn't do anything, just as a passer-by, you will definitely affect someone or something, which will also cause a loop/blank in time.

2. Forward: Yes, but not recommended.

It is definitely possible, in fact, we are doing it this very instant. But massive leaps and bounds forwards into time  can cause a bit of a problem. If your future self sees you and dies of shock, you would have successfully committed suicide.

Answer 11

I think its amazing but impossible.

Answer 12

Sure, be my guest. Let me know the next winning lottery numbers why don't you? If you can, you've broken the space/time continuum

Answer 13

I wish I could for past wrongs I caused then again Christie's "Move or Lose" So Ill just make my decision now. I rather lose than win. maybe that will help. Maybe? I was destined to lose all long,lol.

Answer 14

if you can do it  it does no harm  i have acomplished it a couple of times while doing some jobs i really detested and it made it easier to tolerate them

Answer 15

If we had the technology to tap into and record events from our own senses than it would appear that we have or give the illusion of time travel.But these events would be more like vivid memories than actual time travel.One such movie was Brainstorm with Christopher Walken.I am looking forward to a sequel even though this has been done in a similar way with memory implants in a movie with Robin Williams and the Matrix among others. What if extraterrestrials had been doing this with us for thousands of years? We may just represent a: "Think Tank" or a medium for new ideas or various pleasures etc. I would imagine there would have to be limits to these adventures especially if they were interactive. Many of which wouldn't necessarily be any real threat to our evolution.That is, provided we ever get to have one. Our world may just be limited by controlled extinctions thru what appears to be natural catastrophes or cyclical events.

Answer 16

i dont care if it is right

but i would if i could

Answer 17

Time travel as of yet is a conceptual event.  It is currently unacheivable with the technology available to us.  However, the idea exists within the human conciousness, and therefore will be possible someday.  The most important thing to remember is that time travel is dangerous.  It is not dangerous for anyone other than the traveler.  See, time, while thought of as a line or string, is really more like an interwoven tapestry.  Each string is a series of individual events, which could be identified as a timeline, or perhaps a dimension.  These different temporal dimensions overlap each other at different points in time.  The number of timelines derived from the possibilities of a single event are finite.  However, the total number of all possible timelines is in all probability infinite.  This makes time travel dangerous.  If an individual traveler were to go back in time and change an event within their own timeline, such as the classic grandfather paradox, that change would effectively remove them from their native timeline.  They would enter into a new timeline through the connection derived from that particular moment.  For example, the grandfather paradox states that a subject cannot go back in time and kill their own grandfather because the grandfather would then not exist to father the subjects parents.  This would then prevent said subject from being born.  I do not think this is correct.  This would cause you to supplant yourself into another temporal dimension.  Your native temporal dimension would carry on without you, thus allowing you to be born; go back in time; kill your own grandfather; and push yourself into the new temporal dimension.  Thus time travel is only risky for the traveler.  One can attempt to travel back to "make everything in your life better," but you would then be forced to follow along with that new version of yourself guiding them step by step.  Furthermore, if you return to the present after changing something to "make things better" you would either notice that nothing had changed, or notice that there were two versions of you now, one being yourself, and the other being the you that you altered.  Proof of this is once again found in the grandfather paradox.  Killing your grandfather would set into motion a collection of events, each with its own individual timeline.  If you were to do this and return to the "present" in the new timeline you entered, it is likely that you would find a similar version of yourself.

This is assuming that returning to the "present" would cause you to return along one of the nearest timelines.  In this timeline your grandfather never met your grandmother(because you killed him), but your other grandparents did meet.  Let us assume that the side of the family that was perturbed(by you killing your grandfather) is your father's side.  That grandmother finds another person from the same area that happens to be similar to your original grandfather.  Thus the raise a child that is remarkably similar to your original father.  Thus he meets your actual mother, and they bring the slightly different you into the world.  If you return to the temporal reference point that you left from in this new timeline, you would meet a slightly different version of yourself that is roughly the same age, s*x, weight, etc.  Unfortunately, you would be a separate person from this other you.  This is all assuming that timeline changes would adhere to some sort of simplist possible result constraint.  Otherwise, the possibilities are endless.  Take me sitting here typing this.  Every nanosecond that passes a different finite set of events becomes possible.  I could continue typing, stop here and submit this, or take a short break.  That is a very limited set of possibilities, but each possibility causes a new timeline to start.  Thinking along these lines can make people very unsure of what to do.  The way that I get by while pondering possibilities within time and space like this is to accept that I must pick a course of action and have no regrets about it.  When I first started pondering these ideas I had to forgive myself for everything I had ever "screwed" up because without those events, I would not be at this particular junction in time.  All you can do is use your gut instinct combined with your logic to make the best possible choice for each moment.  Don't overthink it, or you will freeze and be unable to act.  Just know that what you do in each moment is right for your future.  Don't ever dwell on the past because there is literally, even with time travel, nothing you can do to change it.  All you would do is return to a different present which you would be alien to, and you would be forced to see another version of yourself doing all the things you wish you could.  Just do the best that you can with what you have right now and aim for a better future.  Thats all I have to say about that.  I may actually return to this after further contemplation, but that is just one of many, many possibilities.

Answer 18

that's illusional

Answer 19

Yes, I would make my life a whole whole lot better.

It would be a shame that maybe people I'd anoyed might try to reverse that, and I'd keep having to go back and fix it. Very annoying. But if I could go back and forth in time, I'd have all the time in the world.

It would certainly need to be controlled though.

But corruption happens in all spheres of technology, I don't feel this a reason to completely outlaw the technology, but is definitely a reason to limit it. The same way that people need to stopped from setting off nuclear bombs willy nilly, but in principle the technology for them can hugely benefit society and research needs to continue. Or that ballistics is a useful subject, but not everyone should get ot have a gun.

I would go back and do some more work, instead of procrastinating on Yahoo answers, and contribute a lot more to society with higher grades!!

Answer 20

Yes, knock yourself out.

Answer 21

Non-Sense....Sci-Fi

Answer 22

An adept Yogi, after fifty years of study, learned how to levitate rocks. When he told the master of this wonderful accomplishment, the master was very sad. "You have spent fifty years meditating on a rock. Why did you not just pick it up with your hands, fifty years ago, and have done with it?"

So, no, it is not alrighth to go back and fourth in time, it is a rather perverse way to comport yourself in this orderly universe. Generally, it is an embarrasing sort of a thing to have happen even by accident, certainly not to be done deliberately.

Answer 23

Oh, Sure thing, It`s quite all right. Though, it`s the one way street, ONLY!!!

Answer 24

Well like morals, its your own opinion, but the way I see it there is no problem with it, that is unless you cause things to change the way you don't want them(by changing history), Then it would only be your problem, cause no one else would notice the changing of history and circumstance. If things do go bad I would suggest that you don't tell anyone that you went through time causing things to change. (it could start a mob) Not that any of this is possible, but if it where and I where you I would go wild, go for it, travel in time if you like.

Answer 25

Alright?  I guess you mean is OK to do so.  Hey man.....what ever what ever.

Now can you travel in time?  Nope!!

Personally I would not want to do so.   I am 65 years old and would not want to go back even 100 years to a time when deseases were pandemic and if you got sick you died.   And I would be out of place big time any where in the future.

Answer 26

Sure, I'm OK with it, h**l I think Einstein and physics itself is OK with it(just don't try travelling fast than light if you've got any mass at all, that it seems is NOT alright). As mentioned above it can cause some confusion as so few do it expect to be descrimated against say when you drivers licence indicates you've not been born yet, people are so narrow minded about such things!!!

Answer 27

I think it's ok as long as you don't mess up anything.

Answer 28

there are laws of the supersense that you're pissing on when you s***w around w/ events in other time-lines. it'll catch up to you maybe thru another time traveller coming and s******g up w/e time-line you eventually "settle" w/. most likely u'll go thru what was on that movie the butterfly effect-- you'll really s***w yourself up royally, totally not worth it. stick to your own time-line until you die.

Answer 29

That depends on how it works:

Possibility A: Traveling backwards in time brings you to a previous part of OUR time line, and history can be edited. In that case, absolutely not. Unless you wanted to live in a very unstable world. And what happens when someone alters history and you don't exist? Is it murder? And if it is, why does it matter since nobody ever knew you existed? And you could easily destroy yourself in the process of time travel (killing your ancestor).

Possibility B: Going backwards in time takes you to an alternate time line, since ours is always moving forward and doesn't exist in the past. In that case, sure, why not, since you avoid all the crazy paradox of normal time travel. And, also, since altering their history won't actually destroy the future (since theoretically they don't have a future, any time line can only be in one time at once according to this theory). How can they miss what they never had? And as long as you don't do anything really stupid, like assassinating the president or something, you wouldn't really change anything important. This is different from possibility A since there is no chance of causing a living person to cease existing, so no killing. Nice, right?

So if A is true, then NO! But if B is true, go for it! Assuming you figure out how of course :)

Have fun. Don't kill any of your ancestors, ok?

Answer 30

going forward is no problem - we all do it constantly.

going backward may be possible, but only as an unseen observer.

Answer 31

Well, I definitely would not like to see the government restrict it.
