Poca...fucking hilarious!

If we kill Hitler, no time travel will be invented and we won't be able to go back in time and kill Hitler!
Brilliant!

But that's wrong according to Relativity (the theory that that German guy came up with that's withstood everything thrown at it for over 100 years). Relativity says that the past, present and future all exist. Whether or not it's possible to access the past is another matter but unless Einstein (the German guy) was wrong, there is indeed a time to go back to.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

But then again, we know that the theory this guy from Ulm wrote down is incomplete.

(I hear you brother! Just didn't make any sense) Dunno

LOL, maybe I need charts and diagrams to explain it better. Sometimes I cannot always express my thoughts very well with the barriers of the damn English language.

I mean, I can go to doctorate level set theory class and it'd all be gibberish to me for similar reasons :/ Just have to explain the language I guess which would take a while which I don't want to do for all you losers on the forum, haha. So just take out of my OP what you can.

Let's try it.

Back in time and make Trump's father pull out and spray the prick over the sheets.
