Time travel. Just a theory, and one that has never been proved possible. In fact most doubt this will ever change. Time travel is so complex that simply put, our small human brains can`t truly comprehend it.
If you watched Lost in Space this weekend, then you have just seen how time travel can ruin a potentially good film. Where the aliens, plot and special effects had been up to scratch through out, they all meant nothing when they started messing with time.
The simplest example of why not to mess with time revolves around killing your other self. If you go back in time and decide that it would be funny to shoot yourself, then unfortunately you`d be dead. However, if you`re dead in the past then you would have never made it to the time machine, so you wouldn`t have killed yourself. So hang on... you`re alive, so you could use the time machine, and go back and kill yourself etc...
Nobody knows what trouble this could cause, but I`m sure it would include something along the lines of the universe imploding, or being invaded by giant blobs of planet engulfing ketchup or something equally terrible. If time travel has that kind of risk then surely it can`t exist.
The films Back to the Future made a fairly good attempt at time travel, and avoided many of the usual traps that can be fallen into, but it still had the huge risk hanging over it, which suggests it could never exist.
If a time machine does exist in the future, then it must be designed by some extremely responsible people (or whatever species is dominant then). As time travel suggests it could take place at any time (obviously) we already know that time machines don`t fall into the wrong hands, otherwise the universe may not exist at all.
A friend of mine once pointed out that he will never invent a time machine. He promised that if he made one that he would send it back in time, and place it under his bed. He went and checked, and there was nothing. It was an interesting idea, and one that got me thinking for quite a while.
Basically, what I`m trying to say is: If you find or make a time machine, don`t mess around, and certainly don`t put it in a movie. It`ll ruin both the movie, and everyone`s lives.
