[color=#000000ost_uid0][quoteost_uid0]The only way I can figure that you could time travel would be to go to the future. You could return to your own time frame but only to AFTER you'd left for the future.[/quoteost_uid0]

I don't understand, why is that? There could still be a temporal paradox.

And the thing about travel to the future... I could never travel 70 years to the future and see myself as an old man, because if that were possible, time would somehow 'know' I'd ever travel back. In Back To The Future, you can run into your future self, but there are also movies/episodes where, if you travel 70 years to the future, you'd end up in a time where you misteriously disappeared 70 years ago , as it should be, of course.[/colorost_uid0]
