Maybe time travel is real but we're still living at an age where something else is so terrible that nobody from the future wants to travel to our time.

I bet it's because we haven't invented those three seashells yet.

"they still capitalist then? Eww. I'll wait"

[–] felsiq@piefed.zip 19 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

As much as capitalism is a truly shit system to actually live in, I don’t think it would dissuade time travellers much because it’d make it trivially easy to live like a king with only a little knowledge of the future

I guess people from a post capitalist society might have issues with exploiting others for their own gain.

Time Travel to the past

Cough due to allergies to future extinct flowers

Accidentally spready COVID 2089

90% of the world population dies from futuristic killer super flu

You fade from existence because you killed all your ancestors

The paradox causes space time to collapse

Timelines merged together to "mend and fix" these paradoxes, that’s why we ended in the Mirror-Universe equivalent. Mandela effects are just glitches from the other timeline remnants.

In my single-timeline theory you never spawn a new timeline or universe, you just overwrite the one.

Don't threaten me with a good time!

Or when time travelers come here we just can't tell, because if they accidentally reveal themselves or screw up in some other way they just jump back again for a do-over until they get it right.

Maybe they didn't come to Stephen Hawkins' party because they found out that he was a pedo.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Even without that (or if he wasn't, was it clear from what came out that he participated and wasn't just another famous science guy Epstein pulled into his orbit without any kids being involved?), I can't think of a single good reason for an actual time traveler to want to go to that party and plenty reasons to stay away from it, like it being the one party most likely to lead to someone else figuring out time travel sooner and taking control of it before you can.

Though if time travel is possible, I bet it's the branching miltiverse scenario and we're just in a branch where no time travelers have revealed themselves yet. In that reality, there's no reason to avoid his party, other than not wanting to be stuck in a Q&A session with primitive humans. Like I bet any of us would get frustrated going back to the middle ages and how people interested in health won't shut up about fucking humours, muccous, evil spirits, and shit.

For real. If we wanted to listen to that, we could just look up whatever RFK Jr's talking about. No time machine necessary.

There are so many options!
