MIT Time Traveler Convention

Sounds like a good idea, sort of. But i dont think anyone from the future would attend for fear of messing with the timeline.

i should totally dress up in some elaborate space suit and show up.

I was trying to think about something that could be used as proof. I then realized that MIT guys are unlikely to be fooled by a drawing of a Flux Capacitor

Since in theory I can go anytime, I think I'll go next year.

You know what they say, why do it this yr when you can do it next yr...does anyone say that?

Anyway, see ya Sunday..er.. I mean next yr!?!

you can't go anytime, unless you have a time machine. if you don't have access to a time maching you have to go on may 7th.

Things to expect to see there:

1. Nerds
2. Lots of shiny costumes
3. Some loser's piece of sh;t DeLorean
4. At least 10 homemade flux capacitors
5. A complete absence of women
6. Triumph The Insult Comic Dog
7. Alex Winter in a pathetic attempt to restart his career
8. Someone's actual attempt to build a real time machine
9. DBowling
10. Blackwolf The Dragonmaster

So if I'm destined to invent a time machine, and in the future I would come back to this convention, does that mean I'd be at the convention now? What if I turn on the news and see myself there? Would I be so freaked out that I had a heart attack and died, thus making it so I'm not there anymore?

exactly. thats why nobody from the future will show up, or at least not announce themselves. if You, from the future, DID decide to show up, you would likely be in disguise, as not to startle yourself.

hopefully you would be smart enough not to attend.

not necessarily. that only means that nobody from the VERY NEAR future will show up. you guys are somehow assuming that if a time machine is to be built in the future, it will be built within the next 100 years or so. who knows? if it is built 5,000 years from now, the problem you mention won't exist.
