Wanted: Someone to go back in time with me. This is not a joke. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before.

Hell, I'll go...

One condition: We have to go back to 1995 and warn everyone about the sh*t that the future holds. Reasoning: It's far back enough to make a serious difference, but not too far to have excess unintended consequences.

PS: We'd need to bring some things to both prove our origins and explain the case, if necessary

I know! We go back and time and kill the first cavemen. All wars, conflicts, and tragedies that have occurred throughout human history would cease to exist. And, due to possible disruptions within the fabric of the universe due to the inherent paradox, we could possibly destroy the entire universe! Muhahahaha!

If that isn't possible, I'd like to go back in time and be my own grandfather.

Actually no. Had we full on pushed the Europeans out, who knows...maybe they would have fucked off for another couple hundred years. Instead, we helped them, especially here in North America, where our help was essential to their survival. Some few resisted right away, but others felt we had enough land to share.

So no. We didn't try that.

Ok. seriously.

would it?

theoretically, would you going back into time create a branch in the time stream?

Say you go back in time to prevent a personal tragedy. and you succeed.

the timestream will now be.

1) Smunkee has a personal tragedy.
2) Smunkee goes back in time to prevent Tragedy
3) tragedy prevented and smunkee returns to the future where her tragedy didn't happen.

Now what would happen is that you would remember the past where the tragedy happened... but everyone else around you would remember only that the tragedy didn't happen and all events from the point of change.

So no. We didn't try that.Actually, you wrong on both accounts in that the Native Americans did not want the Europeans in Virginia, but guess what they stayed and they were able to push the natives back due to superior numbers.

At the same time in current day "Latin" America the native cultures were divided as it was and the Europeans used these divisions to their advantage and made alliances with native tribes against the dominant groups, the Aztecs and Inca, which had been weakened by the European illnesses which had already spread. So when you kind of think of it the Europeans were just able to exploit native divisions to their advantage and as a result were able to conquer much larger populations as a direct result, at the same time these populations had lost massive parts of their groups due to diseases such as smallpox which had been introduced from Europe.

At the same time do not say that they could have been driven out of their bases in the Carribean because at the same time the native populations had already been decimated by European plagues, which they had not immunity, and within a couple decades there were very few left.
