What concerns me most is not whether or not time travel is feasible, but rather what human kind will do with it once it figures out how to make it happen.That is, if it has not already; for all human kind needs to accomplish a goal is to determine its importance.As soon as we deem something important, we figure out how to make it happen. Prime examples of this are landing on the moon, swimming the English Channel, hiking around the world, or jumping from near space and landing on earth by parachute. As Felix Baumgartner said, "The only thing standing between you and your goal, is the bullshit ...

That is, if it has not already; for all human kind needs to accomplish a goal is to determine its importance.
As soon as we deem something important, we figure out how to make it happen. Prime examples of this are landing on the moon, swimming the English Channel, hiking around the world, or jumping from near space and landing on earth by parachute. As Felix Baumgartner said, "The only thing standing between you and your goal, is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it." Felix Baumgartner is an Austrian skydiver and daredevil, who in 2012 was the first human to break the sound barrier without powered assistance. He accomplished this purely with his body and gravity. Jumping from a helium balloon floating 5 1/2 miles above the earth's surface, he accelerated to a top speed of 843 miles per hour, purely because he had the idea to do so. Even he had to overcome fears to accomplish his goal; we all do.
The only thing that keeps us from accomplishing anything is fear; fear of change, fear of failure, fear of something or someone different, fear of success even (seems strange, yet this seems to exist in most people, in some way, shape, or form).
I believe it is this fear that prevails in the mind of those most resistant to time travel. Who wants to believe that life as it exists can be changed by someone other than ourselves? Who wants to believe that you can go back in time and do things to change my now? Damn! I like my life, you can't go back and steal my girl or shoot my parents . . . anything good or bad to change where I am now. Unless of course I hate my now, then please, by all means, go back in time and fix it. Just make sure you fix it to my advantage or my version of it.
Humans throughout documented history have taken the same actions for and against each other since the beginning of time. Going back in time will not change these behaviors, just the game of life. The rules would change; it would not be once and final. One could go back and do it differently the second time. Better or worse, since humans are the same now as then, just with different technology, it will still be a world of flux, battles of good and bad, all still relative to your perspective and which side of the street you are standing on.
Same battle, different rules.
Time travel means we can fight the same fight over and over in the same period of time as opposed to fighting different battles the same way, as time travels.
Again; who's to say time travel doesn't already exist. People are just afraid of it . . . and fear is the mind killer, the erasure of thought and reason. Fear institutes flight, fight or freeze; that part of the brain is not made to think or rationalize, rather to react without thought.
Thought is brought on by a desire to accomplish something, a goal or challenge: thought finishes books, builds skyscrapers and allows the possibility of time travel.
Who knows, you may be reading this while on your sub-orbital space ride with the space tourism industry; although looking out the window and contemplating it all might be a better idea.
Enjoy the ride.
