Stephen Hawking said there's "proof" that time travel probably isn't possible: we'd be swamped by visitors from the future, which we are not, so there you go. Unless they have a "prime directive" thing going on of course. . In that case though, what if there was already people coming back, they just did it covertly. Like somebody went back and egged Booth into killing Lincoln, etc. Or if they tried to stop them, was able to, only to have somebody else go back and stop the first person or change what the first person did.

I've always wondered how do we know this "reality" of us is the real one? Maybe someone already went back in time and changed it and now we have this....

So let's say you go back in time in a transport of some sort, do something, realize that wasn't the best thing, and go back to fix it. Do you interact with your former self to correct the problem (like in the movie Time Chasers), or do you stay clear of your former self, not to screw up the time line (sort of like in Back to the Future II, when Marty sees himself when he was the first time but doesn't interact with himself).
I would say it would depend on the situation, considering on the situation, or how you handle it.

I'd try to change it but knowing me, I would cause a time paradox just by stepping on a bug.

So I was thinking last night, instead of changing one thing in history, what changing a general thing, like better use of resources/getting people to recycle in a sooner time period, or helping with diseases, or stopping things like slavery?

First I'd save RFK and go from there.
There would be so many things I'd want to do, but I'd have to do it one at a time.
