Brilliant. How do you propose someone for the MacArthur Grant?
Thats what makes the multiverse theory so attractive. With infinite decision, you get infinite results. All equal, all valid, all allowed, and limited if any interference in them
Imagine the motivation you would get if people from the future suddenly started turning up trying to kill you.
“My god, I’m hot shit, I’d better get on with it.”
Then you just start inventing stuff, writing music, starting a political career, and travelling the world desperately trying to figure out what it is that you’re famous for. This results in international fame and fortune, and the attention of lots of women. But suddenly after sleeping around the time travelling assassin stopped coming. And it turns out that you’re the grandfather and their trying to stop you much better protected grandchild.
Once the child is born then they are no longer interested in you.
Though by pushing grandpa to become hot shit, they make his family rich and thus give the grandkid the resources he needed to start WW3.
That this doesn’t happen is proof that we never invent time travel.
This proves nothing, since having you in the know would alter the future.
Absence of evidence is no evidence.
not proof.
people die everyday. who’s to say they weren’t assassinated.
I like the idea that time machines can only transport people within the time machines own timeline. You can go back in time and see yourself finish the time machine but you can’t go back one second before that.
Like it’s one end of wormhole that gets anchored at a particular point in time and the other end drifts forward through time, you can enter and exit the wormhole at any point in its worldline but only within that limit
It’s still allows for time travel, and explains why no one has ever met a time traveller.
Forwards time travel is fairly “easy” to do. Backwards yeah that ain’t happening.

Side note i really love their time travel-diving gear
Whatever he does probably makes them all mute, so that’s why they don’t yell anything.
Could write/leave a note but any reasoning can be countered with arbitrary time travel “rules”.
This is legitimately a cool as fuck comic.
I’ve not seen it before, so not I’ve got 20 years worth of comics to read :)
seriously was coming in here to comment that this is one of the best comics I’ve seen here on lemmy
Honestly one of my favorites.
