I'm not smart enough to invent time travel, but I still have some ideas.

Ok, so I'm thinking about time travel and smoking pot. Beautiful combination, I know.

Anyways, I started thinking about the orbit of earth. and that got me thinking about If you stop time right now, we're on THIS side of the sun. But earth is round. The sun is round. The earth is constantly moving around the sun. Which means in 6 months, we'll be on THAT side of the sun. Which means, if I traveled back in time 6 months, I'd be in the right year, but I'd be on THIS side of the sun, but Earth would be on THAT side of the sun. So unless this time travel method has a sufficient oxygen supply, and a method of space travel/landing, then instantly you're dead.

But that got me thinking. What if......the sun isn't actually stationary? What if it seems stationary, because we revolve around IT, but in turn IT revolves around something else? So what if 1 year from now, earth isn't actually back where it started? What if it's entirely somewhere new, because it's following the sun through space? What if our whole galaxy is self contained, and revolving freely around other galaxies? What if our whole galaxy is like the scale of 1 atom in the grand scheme of things?

That's why we can't time travel. We are not advanced enough. We don't carry the mental capacity to grasp it. Just like a housefly can't develop the mental capacity to play chess. What if we are nothing? The whole collective universe is a building material on a microscopic level, to build something bigger? What if the galaxy is what's important, and we're more like the bacteria coating the material? And that's why we keep having life ending world events. Something is just trying to kill the parasites. It killed the dinosaurs. It had 2 ice ages, with historians arguing there may have been more. No one's for certain what happened. We're reaching beyond our grasp.

And if you could time travel to your previous year, do you take the place of your time appropriate self? So are you like a 5 year old in the 1980s, but you have the mentality of a mid 40s guy? Or is there just like a second version of you running around? One of you is 5 years old. One of you is 42 years old. Both of you are the same person, and by the very nature of you existing at that age in that year, will inevitably change the future via the butterfly effect?

Have we experienced the butterfly effect? What if originally the nazis won? What if the 1945 nazis took over the planet? And then someone time traveled, and said "This sucks, lets kill hitler as a baby?" But then the nazis grew even stronger. So the go back in time to stop themselves, and instead let the nazis win a little bit, but then collapse, because any other outcome is worse? And what if 9/11 killed 3,000 people, but stopping it somehow kills 20,000 people? So you stop yourself from stopping 9/11?

But no matter what you believe, can we all at least agree that the Delorian was a cool looking car, but it would make for an AWFUL time machine! Seriously, if you travel back in time to an era before civilization, there's a really good chance you can't hit 88mph, because EVERYTHING IS A GOD DAMNED FOREST!!!

Thats why the wealthy want to speed up global warming. They want to cut the trees down so we can get more time traveling visitors. Probably to get stock tips. Maybe the lottory is a scam, and established for the time travelers to make it worth their while to invest in time machines. So the rich get richer, and fuck you for being born. It's a big club, and you ain't in it.
