Last meeting, we watched a documentary about time travel. I actually found the video amazing and interesting because scientists, people who base their beliefs on actual results and experiments, believe that time travel is possible. They believe that this phenomenon would be possible if they will be able to bend space-time using energy or gravity.
However, what intrigues me are the possible reasons people would want to travel back in time. Why would someone want to go back in time? To alter big events in history? To prevent the world wars that happened? To stop dictators from killing millions of people? Or maybe small reasons such as going back in time to perfect an exam? But don't these people know that whatever they change in the past, will alter the present.
For me, we should first think of the possible consequences of time travel before we continue this technology. Is it really necessary for man to be able to control time? Or is it a sign that humans nowadays crave for power that is suppose to be beyond their reach? In my opinion, time travel is not really important because it removes the thrill in our life. We live to experience the uncertainties of life. Why wake-up every morning if you already know what will happen to you on that day? Why walk if you already know where you're going? Why live if you already know life?
