Assuming that Dimensional travel were possible...
I have a problem with time travel.
Not so much with the theory or even the actuallity of the possibility, but the problems mathematically.
To put it in laymen's terms...
Even if we perfected the tool or theory to TRY to jump time, how could you NAVIGATE the universe as it was at that time you were travelling to?
What does this question mean?
Let's suppose you had a way to go 1 simple second into the future.
But the entire Universe is moving. The earth is turning, bulging, the solar system is moving throughout the galaxy.. the galaxy is moving... blah blah blah....
NOW... where precicely in space will you move if you jump that time?
Will you follow the path that was ordained by some future existence? Or might you show up in the middle of a telephone-pole because you showed up where you were in the old time and it moved while you were travelling?
My question boils down to this.... If it's even possible in theory to try. Should we?
