In the middle of a 'Star Trek vs. Back to the Future' discussion today, an interesting topic came up. If someone had the advanced technology to build a star ship, and a holodeck, wouldn't it be more prudent to build a time travel machine first? It would instantly enable you to discover all future inventions in the history of mankind in the mere blink of an eye. It would make inventing new ideas and discoveries completely obsolete.
*** Yes, someone has already pointed out the mathematical proof that time travel can only exist into the future, and not backwards, so relax. But if the theory of an infinite number of parallel universes is true, then wouldn't one of those dimensions be exactly like this one, only 2 days in the past?
