It depends on the rules. Time travel stories always make me question. For example, if I just went back to my location a year ago would I
meet myself or would I become myself? I actually haven't seen Back to the Future but I intend to someday. There was a good parody on
Futurama where Fry becomes his own grandfather after hooking up with his grandmother in the past.
I think just about anyone would use a time machine if they had one. Just think of the things that could be done.
Put all your money in your savings account 10 years ago and come back to profit from the interest rate! But wait... would you get the money
that was put in back when you went to present? Thats where it gets confusing.
Or what if your past self realizes that they have all that money and decide to spend it all.
Ehhh the best thing to do would be to make little changes. Did you overcook dinner? It's okay because I can just go back and redo it.
I think the main problems would arise when you jump back a long time, make a big change and then jump back forward.
Any number of things could go wrong in the time that you miss because of the change you made. You should assume responsibility for any
change you make in the past by living through it.
Then I wonder again if I would become myself or meet myself... because if I'm still the same self that went back in time then I would be
that much older by the time I came to the present. But if I became myself in the past I could effectively live forever by just jumping
back to a younger state. But then if I jump back before I was born then I wouldn't exist.... And also would I retain my memories of the
present if I became myself in the past. Then I would be stuck in the past because I would know nothing about time travel.
So I guess it makes more sense to meet yourself which doesn't seem like much fun. Maybe if I fought myself it would be an equal match
which could be awesome. But yeah it seems like there are a lot of potential risks.
Woah I never thought about any of that! I always thought that If you went back and changed something so that when you went to the present
And your life was changed you would pretty much have amnesia because your memories would of your other life and not the one you changed
And I don't think I would like that. I would feel so lost in my own life and maybe to an extent, miss my past life before I went back in tim
Yeah it's possible that if you changed something you did it would basically never have happened so it would be like amnesia.
There's so many issues with the concept of time travel but it usually makes for a good story. Partially bc you can kind of make up the rules
