Imagine never getting to a future where traveling back in time is possible because the consequences of our actions today made it impossible to have a future.
This is great, thanks for sharing it. I especially liked:
Amen, SilverFox316. Although, point of order, issues relating to early 1900s Vienna should really go in that forum, not here. This has been a recurring problem on this forum.
Yeah basically the only acceptable thing to do was to travel back in time to just after they've committed their atrocities and then torture them for their crimes.
Then basically the doctor points out that this is stupid.
Underrated time travel novel, 'The Big Time' by Fritz Leiber.
'The Law of Conservation of Reality.' Basically, if you go back into the past and shoot Hitler, he'll only stay dead for a few hours. When he comes back to life he'll remember feeling really sick, and a week later won't even remember that. It takes an army doing millions of changes over thousands of years to make even a slight change to the time line.
