Thoughts on time travel.

This one is just a quick blurb, me and the misses are watching the entire rocky movie marathon. But, if time travel were possible, it would probably wipe out all human life, if not all life on earth. Imagine someone from today traveling back to the 1800s and accidentally giving people coronavirus or really even a common flu from this era. Their immune systems would have literally no way to fight what for them would be a death sentence of a disease.

In case people have been wondering no, your not wrong my nerves have been a wreck lately. I'm sorry if I've offended anyone. It's hard to hold it together sometimes.

Most recent time travel conjectures say that you can never influence your own timeline. All the changes manifest in a brand new, or at least different, timeline.

Now here's one for you. If time travel is at all possible, then it must already be happening multiple times. That's because once it is mastered in the future, people will start visiting the past, which includes both the present and what we regard as the past. Let's also suppose they sterilize or shield themselves somehow to avoid the infection worry.

I'd settle for being able to sit down on the couch in front of our tv and tune into a channel that is actually showing the past for real. Sort of like Spock's tricorder in City on the Edge of Forever but in 85" HDTV with a cold snack in hand.

That would get past disease, killing your grandfather, stepping on a butterfly, any of that.

Maybe that's what foo fighters were. Wouldn't it be cool to tune in and see a real formation of B-17s on a real mission ?
When those little balls of light blink out maybe they just go back to some future studio that formats the footage, adds the commercials and broadcasts it all. Gramps is in Memphis Belle and his great-great-great-great-grandchildren are bitching they would rather be watching a movie, maybe Batman #327; the Dark Knight Again Yada Yada Yada.

So here is my take on time travel.

1. One can only view the archives of history, because one cannot actually travel backwards in time.

2. Time and space are not singular but parts of the same thing. Only a forward moving thing. You mess with either time or space, or both, and you are not moving in time but jumping into an alternate quantum state, and a completely separate reality,

3. You cannot change the past. IT IS NEVER UNDOOABLE.

Exactly.
I do believe we will someday be able to view our past without actually interacting or effecting in any way....someday.
