Time Travel

Imagine a group of scientists on a highly classified project to invent time travel.

They succeed eventually, and it would most likely be later revealed to the public, or is discovered by the public.

Does that statement sound plausible?

Yes.

Well, then I shall continue.

Once time travel, temporal manipulation is released to the public, do you think it would be likely that a young risktaker or perhaps a suicidal man may go back in time and kill himself or attempt to?

Yes.

The probability of this happening seems high, and therefore the probability of a paradox is high, and since the universe exists, a paradox clearly has never happened and never will happen, therefore, time travel is almost certainly impossible. If the butterfly effect is true, then time travel is 100% impossible.

Cool.

UNLESS, and this is also a likely theory...

...if time travel is possible, then this is 100% true....

...change would've already been changed.

Let me explain: imagine a close friend died. (sorry about the dark nature of this, but it's important)

Imagine you wanted to go back in time to save him.

If the circumstances of his death were such that you did not see him die, this would be possible, but if you saw him die, you would fail to save him traveling into the past. This is because any changes made wouldn't just suddenly change, they would've already been changed.

So if you find a picture of yourself in 1900, and you know you went back in time for the picture to be taken, you would HAVE to go back in time, even if you tried not to, eventually you would find yourself back in time through some sequence of events.

Mind = blown.
