Forget about the specifics... Whether it involves accelerating past the speed of light, or falling into a black hole, or travelling 88 miles per hour in a Delorean. I want you to say to yourself, "Ok... Sometime in the next 50 or 60 or 70 years, someone will find a way to travel back through time."
If time travel will be possible within the next 50 or 60 or 70 years, I will force it to happen on August 3, 2002.
It's as easy as this: I will get a tattoo on my arm that reads, "August 3, 2002. Empire State Building. 4pm"
I will then committ to myself the following: If I ever have access to time travel, in my lifetime, I will go back to the time and place that I have tattooed into my arm.
At this point, all I need to do is be in front of the Empire State Building at 4pm, on August 3rd. There is a very good chance that I will appear from the future in front of everyone on that streetcorner.
If I do not appear from the future, this does not mean that time travel is not possible! It simply means that I will never have access to time travel. It is still possible that SOMEONE out there (maybe even YOU), will someday have access to time travel. If that is the case, what time and place will you choose to go back to? If I fail to appear before myself, I will urge everyone on the free earth to tattoo a time and place into their arm, and then BE PRESENT at that specific time and place. Working together, there is a chance that we can force time travel to occur LONG before it ever should be possible.
Some might say, "If time travel will someday be possible, then why haven't we seen any time travellers appearing in our time, yet?"
I certainly don't have the answer to that yet. Think about this: It is possible that something SO HORRIBLE has occured in our future, that anyone with access to time travel in the future has traveled back to THAT time, to try to reverse the events.
Example: In 2023, a war erupted that resulted in the loss of most of North America. Time travel is discovered in 2045, and travellers have chosen to travel back to 2023, in an attempt to change or reverse the events that have occured.
Yes, it is possible that we are living in a very boring time in history... One that we would choose NOT to travel back to, if given the chance.
This is why I will tattoo the time and place on my arm, and then COMMIT myself 100% to it.
To make matters more interesting... If I fail to appear before myself in New York City on August 3rd, even THIS will be a significant event. I will be able to say WITH 100% CERTAINTY that I will NEVER EVER have access to time travel in my lifetime. In effect, I will be the FIRST PERSON in history to say, with 100% CERTAINTY, something about the future that has not yet occurred. Think about THAT one!
Just ask yourself, "Why not?"
I hope Huey Lewis shows up. This could resurrect his career.
You know, it's also possible that we haven't seen time travelers because we all die before we have a chance to invent it.
