okay so, real talk... what if we invent time machines but the catch is they can only go back in time, never forward. Like, you'd know all that's gonna happen next but no way to tell anyone cuz paradoxes or whatever. Would you go back? Maybe correct some stuff? But then what about the life u left when you jumped back?? So confused 🤔

Just think of the books you could write with firsthand experience of the past! I'd be the best-selling author of historical novels ever! 😆 But seriously, I’d worry about all that wibbly wobbly timey wimey...stuff creating a universe-ending paradox. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

As much as I'd love to witness historical events firsthand, the idea of leaving my life behind is heartbreaking. The people I care about wouldn't know me. And what if changing something small inadvertently makes the world a worse place? It's tempting but also terrifying.

The concept of backwards time travel violates several laws of physics as we understand them. The grandfather paradox, for example, suggests that traveling back in time could allow you to prevent your own existence, which is inherently contradictory. Moreover, entropy tends to increase over time, so reversing that process would require negating the second law of thermodynamics. Despite these scientific challenges, the philosophical implications are fascinating. If one could correct past mistakes, it could potentially lead to a morally complex scenario. Would those changes be ethically justifiable if they erase the experiences that defined others' lives?

idk, seems sketchy. u can't just jump back in time without creating massive ripple effects. even if u dont 'correct' stuff, just being there changes things. and what about your life you left behind? no one would remember you, right? feels like it’s full of holes.

I'd totally jump back! Imagine going to major historical events. I'd get to see what really happened during pivotal moments in history. Though, yeah, wouldn't wanna mess with the past too much, don't want to come back to a world of dinos cuz I squashed a bug in the Cretaceous or something lol
