This is besides the fact you can screw up the space/time continuum bla bla bla bla.
Basically, if you write yourself a note right now that says "Note to self: If I ever get my hands on a time machine I will travel back to 1/1/12 at 8:45 PM." (thats what itme it is where I live) and you put it in a safe place where you won't lose it, if you don't see your future self in that very instant, it either means you don't get to time travel or your safe place wasn't safe enough. :laugh.gif:

whats with you older peeps all over minecraft?i thought this was a game for people around my age
Just tried it, didn't work :sad.gif: That means in the future, I lose the note, or I am not allowed to time travel, or I die before I get to time travel.

Just remind yourself to tell your kids the exact time and date and tell them to tell their kids.

Fun fact, it isn't theoretically possible to go back in time to meet yourself! Duplicated objects in time can't exist, unless time is unraveling.
I should go back in time when I'm 35 and shoot myself(not a killing blow), so my past self wants to kill the guy, which means when he's 35 he went back in time and accidentally shooting his past self but not fatally or a killing blow, well I just made a paradox...

maybe you can name your wolves after different parts of your computer like I did. [iapprove]
Good job, power button!
USB PORT, GET OVER HERE NOW!
Time for dinner, video card!
Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter!!!! Look at what you did!!!!!
there's no way to screw up the "space/time continuum" it just cant happen like say if you went back in time and killed your parents that means you weren't born so who killed your parents it couldn't have been you because you weren't born so you parents weren't killed do you see were im going?
You see, time travel would never work like this, if it were to ever be plausible. Why? Well, where does all the matter for your body come from? Do you see the problem yet? I'll assume so.
Going further with that idea, where would the time machine's matter come from? You would have the limit of traveling back to when time travel was invented, providing, of course, the time machine is the exact same as the previous one. Even then, there's the matter to allow you to exist.
In a completely different note, because there would be two of the same person in the same time, who would control who? You would both be the same person at the same time, would a single conscience not have to control both? How could a conscience time-travel?
Now, do you know what really sucks about time travel? It can never exist, as there is no possibility to the idea of it.

Implying that you would have the knowledge to create time travel, or that time travel would exist in the future.
Think of this.
There are cases when people go "I will make a time machine when I'm older and go to my previous self to prove it worked lol".
But why do you say that? You relying on doing something in the future that you know you'll never actually do won't magically appear. If you have no knowledge in engineering, math, or science, then you are very very very unlikely to actually become specialized in that field. And you sitting there, will a clever little smug on your face won't make you anymore likely to actually travel in time.
It's easier to just expect things to fall in your lap, even though that likelihood is very small.
Edit: Also it's easy for your "safe place" to change drastically into something else in the next 5-50 years.

wat? You'd use existing matter of course. A conscience is just your brain goo working. There would be no problem.
If you're talking about going backwards, changing anything would just cause an alternate timeline to form. Nothing bad would happen to the time you came from. It'd be as if they disintegrated you.

It's a bad thing if you want to time travel, and if you hide the note and you don't see yourself, it means you'll never time travel.
True, I did not consider that. CURSE YOU ALTERNATE UNIVERSES, CURSE YOU!
Everytime i log on, i expect to see my warn status go up.

No dip, you could even accidentally split time into two separate dimensions. It's like a nuclear reaction, But instead, you're splitting time.

Clearly you haven't seen Back to the Future.
