[QUOTE="Timetravelenthusiast, post: 189724, member: 12130"] I have a couple questions in regards to time travel. Let’s say for the sake of this argument that it exists or will exist, why do people assume you’d be able to go back in time before you were even born or to the future to a time after your death? For me if a time machine was invented I believe it would be relative to the person using it so if someone wanted to go back to 1982 but they were born in 1983 then the machine wouldn’t allow it and if someone died in 2021 but wanted to go to 2023 it wouldn’t allow it because they didn’t exist in time at either of those moments. As for the whole jump into a spacecraft, travel at near speed of light and sit near a black hole for a couple days, that idea just seems stupid because even at said speeds you wouldn’t make it back to Earth in time to see the future of Earth, unless a black hole was literally next to Earth, but then wouldn’t that destroy Earth? Better yet even if the black hole wasn't near Earth wouldn’t the black hole destroy the spacecraft near it, therefore the spacecraft would have to be black hole proof. If it could survive but you were nowhere near Earth you’d have to then travel back to Earth, in fact I can’t even get into this too much because if you were only travelling for a year the world wouldn’t have aged that much I don’t think, I could be wrong, I just realised whilst typing that question leads to many many more questions . Going back to earlier about not being able to travel to before you were born, would a person then travel to an alternate timeline at the time they want to go to, travel to the original timeline and create a new timeline or travel to the past as yourself now and meet your young self (I understand, however, for this to happen it would have already happened.
