If I could time travel, where would I go.

David Ulozas

If I could time travel to any point in time I would travel nowhere. Just stay where I am. Better not risk a time travel paradox. We will assume that the time travel is magical and cannot be reproduced otherwise it would cause all sorts of problems since at some point someone will have time traveled which would cause an absolute mess.

Let’s start with why time traveling to the past is a no go. let’s say I travel back in time and perform an action which causes a new series of events which results in me either dying before I go back in time or ends up with me never existing at all. This means that my time travel causes me to never time travel in the first place which would mean that I would live to time travel which would result in me not living to time travel which causes me to time travel and you get the idea. It’s a paradox. Even if the alteration that occurred results in me still being able to time travel, I’ve still caused many problems. Because when future me time travels perhaps the alterations cause me to time travel to a different point in time and cause something else to happen. In this case the first time travel wouldn’t have happened because I did something else, this then causes my second time travel to not happen since the first one didn’t, and you can see where this is heading. Well what if the time traveling doesn’t erase the previous ones? Then you have an infinite number of yourself in the past which would definitely cause something to happen because then there are potentially billions of you at the same time.

Well what about the future? Not the best choice either. Since assuming it is one way then you will never see your home again, never see your family, your loved ones, or anyone else ever again. That is something I wouldn’t want to do ever. Two way causes more madness, just like the past. This is because of the same thing where you infinitely time travel. Neither option is great.

To conclude I would no want to time travel at all because it will either ruin everything, or I get to never see my anyone I cared about ever again. Neither of those are acceptable to me.
