"But if it works, why not go back ten years to now and give the information on how to build it thus sparing ten years of research to create it?"

I wish it were that simple...

You know, one of these days we’re going really screw up reality as we know it.

Of course this is possible. What do you think UFOs are?

If we could travel back and forth through time, wouldn’t someone from the future have already come back and told us how to do it?

OK, I’ll dive in.

If time travel is possible, then future “travelers” should have come back and killed/disabled Hitler before he took power.

But wait you say, if they did that they would change the future too much - and risk destroying themselves in the process.

So - if changing the past is too risky - whats the point...
