your assuming they would only go to the past, when they would go anywhere anytime, we would have them all through history and in the present also.
There would be no “secret”, we couldn’t keep the nuke secret, and we wouldn’t be able to keep that secret also.
I was just discussing this with someone next week.
Timr travel will not happen or we would have been visited by someone from the future by now.
Thanks. I enjoyed Art Bell on the overnight radio ‘Coast to Coast’ back in the day. It seems like there a few stories documented where someone appears to have landed out of place in our time period, perhaps from a divergent reality, a la the bearded Spock in Star Trek TOS...
It may be that the rules of the Universe simply forbid time travel even though it ought to be possible in concept.
Not to be pedantic about it, but in 1 sec (counting earth’s rotational velocity vector, orbital velocity vector and the Sun’s galactic orbital velocity vector) plus assuming all vectors are aligned in the same direction (which they aren’t) gives you roughly 50 km of movement in 1 sec.
Earth’s orbital: ~29.8 km/s
Earth’s rotational: ~0.46 km/s at equator
Sun’s orbital: ~20 km/s
Not enough to reach intergalactic space, if the above numbers are correct.
The galaxy itself is moving........
What is the speed of the milky way galaxy?
The speed of the Milky Way galaxy is not a single number, as it depends on the reference frame and the context. However, here are some relevant facts and estimates:
The Milky Way galaxy is moving within the Local Group of galaxies, which is a cluster of galaxies that includes the Andromeda Galaxy, Triangulum Galaxy, and several smaller galaxies. The Milky Way is moving towards the Andromeda Galaxy at a speed of approximately 130 km/s (300,000 miles per hour).
The Milky Way is also moving within the Virgo Supercluster of galaxies, which is a larger structure that contains many galaxy clusters and superclusters. The Milky Way is moving towards the Virgo Supercluster at a speed of approximately 300 km/s (670,000 miles per hour).
The Sun and the Solar System are moving within the Milky Way galaxy at a speed of approximately 220 km/s (490,000 miles per hour) around the center of the galaxy. This is called the galactic rotation velocity.
The Milky Way galaxy as a whole is moving through space at a speed of approximately 600 km/s (1,300,000 miles per hour) in the direction of the constellation Hydra.
It’s worth noting that the speed of the Milky Way galaxy is not a fixed value, as it is affected by the gravitational interactions with other galaxies and galaxy clusters in its vicinity.

I have sometimes thought that while the british were the father’s of israel—Hitler was the mother. The British provided the vision for Israel while hitler provided the motivation. That is, without Hitler the state of Israel would not have been born.
I recognize that some would think this thought beyond the pale—that the holocaust and Israel are two entirely different unrelated animals/circumstances/historical events/religions. And so it might be.
Anyhow, just a thought
My take is slightly different. If time travel is possible then an infinite number of copies of the universe must exist. If i can travel back one year, then why not ten. If i can travel back ten and you can travel back 3 and Joe can travel back 100....well this is only possible if every state of the universe is saved forever. Well, maybe God is capable of saving every state of the universe, but time travel only is possible if an infinite set of universal states are stored and active.
