I would enslave the spider and make her create fine, expensive silk clothing. When she is used up, then I would feed her to the pig.

Researcher Discusses Whether Time Travel Could Prevent a Pandemic
from the butterfly-effects dept.
University of Queensland student Germain Tobar who worked with UQ physics professor Fabio Costa on a new peer-reviewed paper "says he has mathematically proven the physical feasibility of a specific kind of time travel" without paradoxes, reports Popular Mechanics:
Time travel discussion focuses on closed time-like curves, something Albert Einstein first posited. And Tobar and Costa say that as long as just two pieces of an entire scenario within a closed time-like curve are still in "causal order" when you leave, the rest is subject to local free will... In a university statement, Costa illustrates the science with an analogy 


"Say you travelled in time, in an attempt to stop COVID-19's patient zero from being exposed to the virus. However if you stopped that individual from becoming infected, that would eliminate the motivation for you to go back and stop the pandemic in the first place. This is a paradox, an inconsistency that often leads people to think that time travel cannot occur in our universe. [L]ogically it's hard to accept because that would affect our freedom to make any arbitrary action. It would mean you can time travel, but you cannot do anything that would cause a paradox to occur...." 


But the real truth, in terms of the mathematical outcomes, is more like another classic parable: the monkey's paw. Be careful what you wish for, and be careful what you time travel for. Tobar explains in the statement:


"In the coronavirus patient zero example, you might try and stop patient zero from becoming infected, but in doing so you would catch the virus and become patient zero, or someone else would. No matter what you did, the salient events would just recalibrate around you. Try as you might to create a paradox, the events will always adjust themselves, to avoid any inconsistency."

Why not? A guy in January 2020 takes a sample of the Covid and goes back to 2018 so that they have time to develop a vaccine. That being said, if that kind of time travel was possible, a Covid pandemic wouldn't be the top priority.

A lot of history is now gone for ever. The Campaign for Real Timers claim that just as easy travel eroded the differences between one country and another, and between one world and another, so time travel is now eroding the differences between one age and another.

"The past," they say, "is now truly like a foreign country. They do things exactly the same there."

Occam's Razor says that the simplest explanation is correct.
This is certainly a simple explanation, so, therefore, it must be true.

Watch what you say because we have an endless of mental cases in the world who will take what you said here to heart and feel the need to blather this 'conspiracy' throughout the world. This behavior is largely fueled by the rampant hard drug use that is all too common these days.
Remember, you can't trust people to be mentally balanced. :|

Problem with time travel is that the planet moves at a considerable speed, so you need to catch up or sit in empty space where earth is going to be in x years..

Why?

Seriously.... when you are simply standing in one spot on the planet and not trying to move, does the planet suddenly move away from under you?

So, why would it do so if you were in a time machine that didn't move itself through space either?

Yes, its obvious that travelling through time means travelling through space, but either way the earth is just going to carry you along with it, so as far as the immediate environment is concerned, you don't actually seem to move at all.

If you travel back in time by six months and don't change position or velocity the earth will be about 300000 miles away on the othe side of the sun

You sure know a lot about something that doesn't exist.
I came back through time to tell you that time travel works by opening a wormhole through time that's attracted by the matter around it, so when you walk through that wormhole through time, you still end up in the same place on Earth that you started. Your worst problem would be a tree or building being there instead, but that will just block the exit so just means that you can't get through.

And unless your time machine had some mechanism for explicitly travelling through space as well as time, why do you think you wouldn't just be dragged along by the earth as the earth itself travels through space?

When you travel through Time, you must also adjust your Relative Dimensions In Space.

Re: Enjoy outer space (+1)

Similarly, when you travel intercontinentally you need to adjust your relatively position and velocity wrt. the starting location, otherwise you'd be sideways or even upside down when you get off the plane. Luckily planes compensate for this motion by slowly adjusting the orientation of the vehicle during the flight. Perhaps, once we are advanced enough to build time machines, we'll be able to build time machines to work the same way?

Oddly enough, the other day I was thinking
about Doc Brown's remark in BTTF3 of "It could've been worse, I could have ended up in the Dark Ages where I would've been burned at the stake for being a heretic".
Scince his time machine clearly ends up in the exact place regardless of where Earth is at in space, he would've still been in what would become the Southwestern United States. There were no Europeans inhabiting that part of the country at the time, and there may not have been any Native Americans in that exact area either, depending on whether the ones who attacked the DeLorean when Marty traveled to 1885 were driven there by European encroachment/oppression.

If the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is correct, the act of travelling back in time (and indeed all actions) would branch off a new temporal reality without affecting the one you left. This would also mean that time travel paradoxes cannot occur. I would like to think that the universe is so nice and orderly but there is no way that we can know.

I have come back to tell you alot. About this ongoing panic about virus, it's all a hoax - But the worst thing are the furture of people wearing face masks. They still don't know they are inhaling micro fibers from the masks. This will create an even bigger problem with cellulose and/or plastic lungs.

Alternate Universe (+2)
DigiShaman 3 hours ago
Or maybe when you travel back in time, any alterations done in the past instantly forks the universe. From the travelers perspective, he/she changed the course of time without running afoul any form of paradox. Unfortunately, that means the universe they came from remains unchanged going forward; with the exception of them now listed as a missing person.
