Default Re: Hypothetical Time Travel Question

i think you may be grasping what i am trying to say. say time travel is created at time ( X ). It would make sense that we would not be able to travel to anytime prior to ( X ), but would be able to travel freely anytime after ( X ). Although the airport analogy may not be the best to use in this situation, i think it gets the general idea across. how about, you cant listen to a cd without a cd player.

I think you're trying to say that you feel time travel should require a reciever rather than just a transmitter :-)

Hehe, funniest is when Hawking said he wouldn't take a bet cause the other guy might be from the future and already know the answer.

seems to me that the minute you created this device, a huge mass of people would pour out from whenever in the future.
