Time Travel Risks and Ethical Debate
Summary
In Theory Development & Experiment Lab this announcement presents a deep critique of time travel, arguing it can amount to 'Time Travel is Murder' by poisoning future generations. It outlines concerns about causality, 4-D interference, and why the thread will limit scope while addressing solvable conceptual questions for the community.
Time travel, a currently high sci-fi concept, is a curious talk and balance between uncriticized dreams and the horrors of 'god-like technology and power'. While I will be open to discussion, my goal is to sagely and thoroughly leave little room for it within the duration of the explanation and expose on the topic. Further questions that are not conceptually solvable within the ramifications and structure explained will be addressed once asked within the thread, however I will not oblige a lack of conceptual progression to understand the idiosyncrasies of the topic.
"Time Travel is Murder": Very little is discussed about this specific issue when it comes to the matter of dallying with life and it's effects within reality. Often times relegated to a sidenote of "causality"/"the butterfly effect", time travel is inherently a matter of deleting a program mid computation while knowing a previous state to superimpose a new one. Setting aside the notions of 'originality and causality', any and all successes of time travel are inherently a method of poisoning the well for future generations. At the juncture where technology is inherently so incredible that one can hold power over a very dimension of perception such as time, one must recognize that any energy or matter lost from that state in the universe holds much more sway over life than what a simple peasant farmer destined to die alone would from the medieval era.
"Poisoning the Well": When such technology occurs, we must consider the ramifications of being able to interact with the very dimension of time, often referred to as "4-D" for it's 1 dimensional representation with 3 dimensionality in substance, like collapsing a wave function, it seems likely that the ability to interfere with such a substance of reality and perception is likely to acknowledge the fundamental substance of it's structure first. Further changes become cemented as a byproduct, having potential leave the immediate causal trajectory for...?
"High Sci-Fi Vanity Murder Joyride": With the benefit of such a state of power and responsibility, the only function that seems likely to me with the accessibility of such a technology for any function is the pure hedonistic activity of erasing massive amounts of life in mere moments. Even going into the future seems to offer no true solace in this matter. the mechanics are merely more subtle, going into the future from an ethical and philosophical perspective is like shirking your responsibility for 400 years (an example) and then coming back and asking them for a share you do not deserve, furthermore had you been involved it is likely others would have benefitted, lives would have been formed, and though subtle the history of modernity would have been supported.
