Traveling to the Future… Impossible? Yes.
A lot of scientist are dedicated to time traveling; finding the wormhole, figuring out if it’s stable enough for human travel, and actually succeeding at time travel.
But what they don’t think about, is that it’s impossible to travel to the future, simply because it hasn’t happened yet.
Think about it this way, there’s an empty field where a house is ABOUT to be built, but isn’t there yet. You cannot travel through time to the future and there be a house there.
When you travel to the future, you only take you with you, you don’t take the world and the entire population with you, just you. So you would end up in a vast abyss of nothing if you attempted to travel to the future.
The only way to get to the future is to sit here and wait until we get there, and that is still impossible because by the time you reach the future, it instantly becomes the present.
You can, however, travel to the past, because things have been there, people have been there, and things have happened.
If you traveled to the past, there would be people there, and buildings, everything. If you traveled to ancient Rome, you would see ancient Rome, but you yourself and the ancient Romans wouldn’t be in the past, you would be in the present because you would be there experiencing things as they happened.
So time travel could be possible, but only to the past, and by the time you got there it would be the present for you and the people at the time you traveled to. But traveling to the future cannot happen, it’s not there, it hasn’t happened yet.
There is no future until we make it, and by the time we get there it’s already the present.
