Yeah, OK. We are not talking about relativity here, where if you are traveling faster you experience time differently relative to others... we are talking about literally traveling through time. Not demonstrated.
That's not what you said.. Are you asking me to allow you to retract your comment?
No, I have no interest in continuing farther with your being obtuse.

No, I have no interest in continuing farther with your being obtuse. Just giving you a chance to correct yourself. .. It's your call if you want to allow your ignorance to stand..

The idea that slavery was OK came from way back, long before the Middle Ages. Good leadership and progressive ideas changed that. If you have leadership that will condone bad ideas, Q’anon ideology, fake news, racism, etc. It will motivate the like minded and influence the weak minded. The lesson here is not that we can change the past, but we can learn from it Automation also changed that. If you "want nice things," somebody has to do the work. Before industrialization, that typically meant slaves. Nothing to do with the topic at hand. If you think slavery is cool, then there is always something you can find for a slave to do

The lesson here is not that we can change the past, but we can learn from it Agree, but the only ones who DO learn from history are the ones who are NOT like minded and weak minded. The ones who don't learn will always exist, and always act out of fear and ignorance. And there is no way to change that. So telling them what they are, is a waste of time. All we can really do is compensate for them by predicting their actions, and hardening the system in preparation for them. Freon Yes, and we can do all of that through good progressive leadership

Automation also changed that. If you "want nice things," somebody has to do the work. Before industrialization, that typically meant slaves. Nothing to do with the topic at hand. If you think slavery is cool, then there is always something you can find for a slave to do I guess. It's just easy for us to criticize the past when our comfort and security are in large part provided for by industrialization and automation. Yes, it was possible to eradicate slavery—but there was a huge price to pay. It's nice to think that "we all" would have been willing to pay that price, but that's just too easy to do from this side of history.

Looking forward, not trying to make a society what is was.

Time travel is not only possible.. it has been demonstrated ..
Stick with what you do best.. lying and dodging questions..
Yes, but time travel has only been done in the forward direction.

Here's a discussion:
Stephen Hawking said that it should be possible to travel back in time using a wormhole.

The claim I was addressing is that backward time travel has been demonstrated.
"Should be possible" is not the same as demonstrated.
