Ok thanks... just feels like you're missing the question, and describing relativity to me !
My point is we have the whole the future before us that can come back if they wish!! What if it can only be a one way trip?
Would they wish it?

After all the future is infinite? right? if so, any future scenario could destroy us tomorrow?
Because... paradox!

Yep one way trip.... but no proof... the future has a lot of answers!
Paradox? not much of an answer, with respect !

If you go back in time and kill your grandfather before he was born.... how can you be born and then go back in time to kill him? If you're not born, then you don't kill him, so he lives and has kids and you're born and you kill him... and so on, and so on... and so on!
That's a paradox!

Ok, well that's a given, but let's go 1 million years into the future...
Are you with me? we've found a formula for paradox, and if you replace y with lemon, you can go back and kill your granddad !
Not sure your argument stands up now?!! unless you can convince me otherwise?

Besides I'm very confident that in the future just like in the present family reunion are awkward events that preferred to be avoided.

Yep, feel your pain, but the future is infinite, therefore... everything is going to happen...
But it isn't !!!?

No offense but if I would take a time travel journey into the past will be in order to meet someone awesome like Cleopatra, Darwin or Alexander the great. So I gotta ask. You think that someone in the future should time travel and visit you because?
I don't want to sound disrespectful but why would someone should take the Delorian to visit you? What is so special about you?

My two cents:
"People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a nonlinear, nonsubjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly, timey wimey... Stuff."
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

Thanks for that !! lol... care to consider why no one has come back from the infinite future and built you a diamond the size of a brick out of seaweed?
