Anyways…

Phil, can you investigate why time travel hasn’t been invented yet? Is it because a catastrophic feedback loop would occour as soon as a person using the technology arrived?

This is just a hypothetical question, and I would like your opinion.

(Not really, I just want opinions to see how people will react when I introduce the tech.)

To tell you the truth, ProfMustard, it’s not something I’ve given a whole lot of thought to before. I’m a practical man. My needs are pretty simple: a stiff drink to shake off the cold and a gal to keep me company on the nights when the whiskey won’t do. I can’t tell you why time travel hasn’t been invented; I’ll leave that to the eggheads. But I’ll tell you why it shouldn’t be: people will want to fix too many things and go back and undo all their regrets. Maybe you could save a life here or make a better choice there, but history has to stand and we have to know the terrible things we’ve done so that we can act differently next time.

Sorry there, I normally don’t get that philosophical. I guess you caught me on an unusual night.
