Y'all ever wonder why we haven't met any time travelers?


Apr 7, 2021, 11:49 AM

Is it because humans in the future never figure it out and we will never be able to time travel as a species?

OR

Is it that the human race eventually ends and we were never able to crack the code to allow someone to come back and warn of this planets inevitable doom?

Please forgive me, @IneligibleUser


I guess a more serious question is


Apr 7, 2021, 11:52 AM

how do you know we haven't?

Time machines already exist....


Apr 7, 2021, 11:52 AM

It's alcohol based.

Step 1 - Consume massive amounts of alcohol in a short amount of time.
Step 2 - Wake up in the future.

Boom.

station are our biggest time travelers. They've traveled like a second or two into the future. Even career airline pilots pick up like a small fraction of a second.

Just going by the odds, #### sapiens sapiens should expect to exist for 1-10 million years before extinction, most mammals fall on the shorter end of that time frame. Something natural like an asteroid, disease, famine, or some other sort of nudge will knock over the first domino and will dwindle our numbers to a significantly smaller group, then competition for resources, nuclear war, and/or other self wrought reasons will be the end.

Life on the planet will be fine though, it will just take time after we're gone. It took 65 million years between the extinction event that took out the dinosaurs (that dominated the planet for over 150 million years) and the appearance of the earliest hominids, and there are barely traces of their existence. Everything we built will crumble, everything we were so smart and self-aware enough to accomplish will be inevitably swallowed up by time, just like everything else.

If we last another 1 million years, I predict

we will have Walmart and Amazon on Yur-anus

A lot of people have claimed to be time travelers, I bet.


Apr 7, 2021, 12:16 PM

And I bet they were deemed crazy. Who's to say they weren't for real?

But I'd be willing to peg you.

I think we have a self destruct feature built into us


Apr 7, 2021, 12:36 PM

that limits our technological abilities. About the time we become capable of supporting colonies on Mars, or curing all forms of cancer, we'll become side tracked with quality of life issues for tropical penguins, or something equally ridiculous and end up taking 5 steps back.

I like to think of humans as pitbulls...Some are quite intelligent, make great companions, and are capable of amazing feats. That's probably 15% of them, the rest will maul you and your children to death because you have a green shirt on.

well, they carry memory erasing laser beams with them

so you don't remember that you met them. Because they are FROM THE FUTURE.

You got that WoW?


Apr 7, 2021, 1:56 PM

10 strip or whole sheet?

What if we are the time travelers and we are checking out the past to see how not to muck it up with all of the erasing of history going on now?
