Think About It

So how do we know if someone has ever gone back into time and changed the entire course of history starting from the time they decided to go? Well...truth is we don't. It is impossible to know. But this gets into the topic of the foolishness of time travel. Even if the person who decided to travel back into time only wanted to change a minute detail in history, that could have catastrophic effects. Allow me to explain.
First of all, put this into some perspective of your life. If you did even the tiniest thing different in the past, you will never be in the exact same spot at the exact same time as before. Sooner or later, that will catch up to you. If you were to originally get in a car accident, you would not be at that same exact spot at the same exact time if something minutely different, like sneezing, that did not originally happen had taken place in the past.
Back to the Future had it all wrong. It may seem as though sometimes they thought very 4th dimensionally, but in reality, they did not. In the movie, he changed the way his parents interacted with each other and he even changed the way his parents met. Without getting into "rated R" details, he would not exist. Sure his parents might have still had children, but they would have been different children because of one thing i mentioned before: timing.
So if you ever think that traveling in time might be "cool", think again because once it happens, you might end up never existing in the first place and that would be very unfortunate.
