Hypothetical Questions
for when you're bored... or want to argue
Would you spend 20 years in prison to get paid $5 million when you got out? What about $10 million?
You would be paid the equivalent of $5 million in the future, e.g. in 20 years time $5 million of todays money may be $15 million.
How can we know for sure that time travellers aren't constantly changing the past?
People could be changing things all the time and we wouldn't know any better, e.g. If Hitler was killed in 1935 by a time traveller, we wouldn't know that if he _wasn't_ killed, World War 2 would have happened.
If teleportation devices like the ones in Star Trek were invented, would you use one?
They would basically "kill" the you on the starting end and recreate you from scratch at the destination, its basically cloning you... but you could travel insanely fast
