What a coincidence. I was talking to my friend about this next Thursday.

I feel if the government was hiding time travel it would be a unanimous decision or the decision of just one person. But that's kind of hilarious.

I want to believe. The sad thing is that even if time travel became available to the public in 2028, only the rich would be able to afford a time machine at first. It would be like when cars were first released for members of the public to buy.

Complete load of nonsense but if it were true giving the general public access to time travel would be like giving them access to nuclear weapons.

Ah I do love a good old 'the government don't want me to say this' and yet somehow the government does nothing to stop them. Who would even make the deicisons about time travel? Do we have a secret ministry for time travel?
Contradicts the Reddit time traveller though, unless one of them stepped on a butterfly at some point.

Whilst it's true that it would be dangerous, I think you'd be able to get a license to own one. I like to imagine there'd be piloting schools where you are taught how to control a time machine, and you'd have to complete practical and mental tests to be able to own one. Changing time would no doubt be illegal and probably the equivalent to speeding in a car. What would be interesting would be modern day people holidaying in the past or future. Suddenly you'd have people going on weekend breaks to Medieval England, or a fortnight away in the year 3000.

There could be multiple timelines with infinite possibilities at play.

Have you not read A Sound of Thunder?

Complete chaos would ensue. Oh & I recommend A Sound of Thunder, great short story.

I'd prefer to believe the world would become more like a Douglas Adams story: completely mind-boggingly bonkers and irreverental.

One change in the past could be devastating for the present & impossible to police.

If anyone is a big time travel fan then listen to the ars Paradoxica podcast.

To me this is "same schtuff, different day" - how many times have various people claimed this sort of thing?
I love Dr. Who, don't get me wrong. But I also agree with Larry Niven's view that Time Travel is FANTASY, not sci-fi. You can surround it with the trappings and rules of "hard sci-fi" but in the end, it really isn't. And I really don't think it's actually possible.
That doesn't stop me from enjoying seeing a certain blue box spinning it's way through the cosmos...

Maybe one day time travel will become a reality. It really depends on how you view time I guess. But maybe that is more of my love of time travel fiction wanting it to become a reality.

I can imagine from Day 1 there’d be thousands of cases of incidences going very, very, very wrong and in the process creating chaos as demonstrated in this often top 5-poll best time travel films ‘Time Crimes’, no matter how much time-travelling training one would undergo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3eyuL0Bl9s
