What else more would I need besides a time machine?

By Guest Blogger Mikey C.

Well that really depends. What kind of time machine are we talking about here? The HG Wells novel, the awful movie, or the program on Macs that saves all my information? Even though all those things are special in their own way, we all know the first thing that comes to mind is that smoking hot DeLorean and smashing the space time continuum and being time travelers. And I know that if I was a time traveler I would want to see myself at some point in time, which makes me believe there are time travelers among us. (If time travelers are here I bet they understand the importance of creating an alternative reality and probably have invisibility cloaks like Harry Potter.) Time traveling would shatter the definition of history and turn it into a historical science by realizing the full extent of time relativity making visiting your past self almost like walking into a moving museum. But its important to understand this and realize that unregulated time travel would be dangerous to human existence and time travelers must abide by laws and rules to make it happen. Hawking argues that the way nature is created a time machine will never be built because people would ruin existence. But I believe that with proper regulations we can all time travel freely and enjoy ourselves in any relative space. And we would need nothing more.
