| Dr Who, Time Lord |  With results from the Hubble telescope DeepField experiment the evidence seems irrefutable. To comprehend the theory better, you might like to simplify things and imagine the universe like a video tape. It doesn't matter whether you run it forwards, backwards or stay where you are, at any given period in its history it will always play the same scene.
And so we deduce from the aforementioned, that we wouldn't so much have Time Travel like Dr Who the Time Lord, but more Time windows. It's possible. We would be able to see the past, and future but never be allowed to interfere with it, simply because our volume of mass would not match that volume of mass in the period in history you move to. The value of the particle becomes relative to its own distinctive period in history. Think of it like money. If someone from five hundred years ago came forward to today, and had say five pounds, they would find their five pounds is relatively worthless, whereas back in their own time, they would find their five pounds is a small fortune. Time, and particle matter would fair no different.
At this point we need to ask then, how could we view the past and future?
Personally, I believe with a large electromagnetic field we would be capable of re-quantifying the particle physics and viewing anything think we wanted to do. By producing higher levels of electromagnetism the volume of mass will increase, and the past, which has already dissipated will reappear.
Alternatively, by extracting a surrounding electromagnetic field, the accelerated process of decay should logically set in, thus the future would appear in all of its finer detail.
At the moment, Hubble is using infra-red detectors to see our future, but who knows what the future holds. Maybe we will see the future with specific type infra-red spectacles, maybe will see the future with our own eyes. I don't know. But the prospect is an interesting one.
Imagine being able to hover a large craft over an ancient Roman amphitheatre, and produce enough energy to make the past unfurl. As an entertainment system we could watch the gladiators tear each other to pieces, clear up any anomaly in history and clarify the past. Alternatively we could look into the future, although I'd advise against it. By looking back we can do no harm. The past's the past. But the future is still to come.
The real Pandora's box. The woes of the world are not what have gone before us, but what will happen in the ensuing millennia. Imagine looking fifty years ahead. You see a nuclear holocaust, mankind's planet has been reduced to an irradiated wasteland. Every living thing is dead. What would we do? We could try and avoid the problem, dismantle all of our nuclear stockpiles and play safe. It'd seem logical.
If the weapons don't exist, how could the future predict a nuclear holocaust. Quite simply. In mankind's desperate rush to destroy his weapons of mass destruction, he'd screw-up, create an accident, and the resulting accident would lead to his demise. It's preordained. What will be, will be. I'm afraid, if this postulation is accurate, we have a system of WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get.)
We wouldn't be allowed to tamper with humanity's destiny. And so my advice is this,: if mankind, science, or some nutcase finally manages to build a machine that can look equally forwards as it can backwards, take a very big hammer and go and trash it otherwise human kind will drowned in their own fear.
Failing this, take a big pen and write on the name plate: 'Pandora.' Because never would there be a more apt name for the prospect of your own demise.
