Why not yet?

[StreetCowboy]

Surely it would be the easiest thing in the world, having invented a time machine, to go back and pass the plans to one’s predecessors. So why have we not invented time machines? Why are they stopping us?

 

Questions are one thing. Resentment another.

But actions speak louder.  What must we do to steal time machines from the future?

 

If this post has any relevance, I am sure it will be delet…

I can see the future discoverer of Time Travel trying to pass the message back.

”They need to have electronics and semiconductors already , to build it.  The scientists in the sixties are all zonked on weed and can’t build anything but Apollo fireworks. The 70s are too Cold War- they’d go back and murder Lenin; The …..”

Physicians actually working on this and do have some interesting theories. Search up Brian Cox and time traveling.

Dr Who is the only physician I would trust on time travel, and even then, I’m not sure he is a proper doctor.

Ask the varieties of extraterrestrials, as they come and go by way of time manipulating portals [stargates] and have been for quite some time.

If time is single stranded then by sending it back they would change their existence, since how could they invent something that already existed. If time is multi-stranded, then they could only send it back to a time strand they don't exist on, so if someone on the strand that we are on invents it, we would never see it.

I'm probably not supposed to say this, but I was warned by a time traveller that whatever I do, and for the sake of all humanity, I must not delete this topic.

Well I rang him, he said "sorry but I don't have the Time" then the line started to make a strange unearthly sound so I hung up

Careful, in this PC world the Dr could be female, trans, gay or non binary, whatever that is!

Loose pages yet to be bound ? (my dad was a bookbinder by trade, true)

If time travel was invented, I think it would be highly regulated.  It might be the case that it would be invented then instantly banned.

 

Even travelling back in time to do something "good", could completely change things to be much worse, and in a way that means there is no way to change it back.

Not necessarily. If one was really clever, there would be a manner in which to correct the original wrongdoing change by traveling into the future first.....and then traveling to the present, doing whatever you have to do by preventing oneself from travelling back with the initial intent. Therefore, nothing's lost.

 

Win-win for all.

My guess is that mankind did not survive long enough to invent a time machine.

So why mention bookmakers, they make odds and take bets. A book binder took the lose pages and glued them into hard covers, too make a book, That is not a bookmaker. before machines took over the job, (part of the UK printers union). That was My dads job on my birth certificate.
