Time travel is impossible and thus this question is meaningless

Prove it. Even Hawking doesn't say that: "The first indication that the laws of physics might really allow people to travel in time came in 1949 when Kurt Godel discovered a new space-time allowed by general relativity. Godel was a mathematician who was famous for proving that it is impossible to prove all true statements, even if you limit yourself to trying to prove all the true statements in a subject as apparently cut and dried as arithmetic. Like the uncertainty principle, Godel’s incompleteness theorem may be a fundamental limitation on our ability to understand and predict the universe, but so far at least it hasn’t seemed to be an obstacle in our search for a complete unified theory. Godel got to know about general relativity when he and Einstein spent their later years at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. His space-time had the curious property that the whole universe was rotating. One might ask: “Rotating with respect to what?” The answer is that distant matter would be rotating with respect to directions that little tops or gyroscopes point in. This had the side effect that it would be possible for someone to go off in a rocket ship and return to earth before he set out. This property really upset Einstein, who had thought that general relativity wouldn’t allow time travel." Stephen Hawking, A Brief History of Time He has a whole chapter about time travel, wormholes and such like.

I would go back in time to Mohamad M. Mohamad and try to explain the concept of time travel and that from the time I had come from it was perfectly possible.

Question: "If you could travel back to the 1950's, what would be the most difficult thing to explain about life today?" :suss: My Answer: "People possess a device, that could fit in their pocket, capable of accessing the entirety of all information known to mankind. Some use it to look at cats and get into arguments with total strangers." :rolleyes: :laugh:

I think you place a little too much trust in the internet. There is in fact a LOT of knowledge that can be found in books and archives, without being accessible on the internet. If you don't believe me, here's an example: Try taking up genealogy and see how far your get using only online resources!

THE BOOK is a revolutionary breakthrough in technology. No wires. No electric circuits. No batteries. Nothing to be connected or switched on. So easy to use, even a child can operate it. Compact and portable. Can be used anywhere -- even sitting in an armchair by the fire -- yet it is powerful enough to hold as much information as a CD-ROM disc. Here's how it works: ...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

Teacher: Tommy, why have you brought your cat to school with you today?
Tommy (crying): I heard the milk man tell my mum: "when your boy goes to school I'm gonna eat your pussy!"Should probably have been in the Soapbox, but you brought up the subject here in the Lounge. So I blame you! :laugh:
