>>12681281Too dangerous to fuck with our timeline due to the butterfly effect when you can just simulate the past perfectly according to the resolution of human senses, and that will almost certainly be possible in the future
the other thing is that if timetraveling back and changing things only shifts you onto another timeline, it would essentially be pointless as you'd arrive in a timeline that was not your own, so if you want to live in such a timeline, and you know that infinite timelines exist (as was discovered at the advent of this kind of timetravel) then you can know that you are already living in a timeline somewhen else and should just simulate it for yourself instead of fucking it up for the real you in that timeline
people are obsessed with time travel because:
A. They can't do it right now
B. They want to see how it was in the past, usually only with regard to other humans or looking at animals in the distant past or something
nobody wants to go to the past to check whether physics worked exactly the same, which might be the only usecase for timetravel, to have minimal impact on the timeline
time travel in the far future is a little like nukes were in the 20th century
to be used only a few times to see whether it's possible, and then ideally never to be used in practice or ever again
