Apparently, Stephen Hawking organized a time travel experiment in 2009. There was also the Time Traveler Convention in 2005 [1]. If people keep organizing such events, future time travellers may be at a loss as to which one to attend.

future time travellers may be at a loss as to which one to attend

Ahem, all of them at once?


That they can do that, technically, doesn't mean the would.

Just like we don't attend all parties available to us, they would soon get bored.


Do you really want to go to 10000 conventions for the same thing?


Imagine you're a time traveler from the future, and you've read all about the NSA from 2009. Would you want to risk making your presence known?

What do you think the government would do if they got a hold of a real life time traveler?


The best part of this event was that they turned people away. I feel sorry to those time travellers who didn't go back far enough.


We all know no one attended the party, so maybe time travelers just didn't want to disturb that part of history?


The first one?
