bboy_mm with a warning:

Aahhhh.... but therein lies the rub. 

You can change time. You can alter history, but the consequences of
doings so could truly be cataclysmic; cataclysmic as in end of the
world, big band, hit the reset button, start all over, destruction of
the universe cataclysmic.

The time line is very strong... but it's brittle. When it's broken; it
shatters. And this cascade of shattered time can cause an upheaval of
massive time distortion that could taper off an become, relative to
the universe, localized or it could continue to cascade upon itself
until the universe is reduced to a cinder of dust, and time in the
universe starts all over again.

No, no, no.... breaking the line of time, altering resolved factual
history is nasty nasty business. Even cataclysmic doesn't come close
do describing the destructive potential.

bboy_mn answers 'Turner':

It called a Time TURNER, but cause for very hour you want to move
through time, you 'turn' the hourglass over. Hence, every turn alters
you place in time, so it's 'Time Turner'.

bboy_mn continues:
It's not a matter of choices, it's a matter of consequences. You can
choose to alter time, but can you.... can we.... can anyone... live
with the consequences?

It's not as simple as the alteration creating a new timeline. I hate
to quote myself but this is what I said before...

"It is because there can only be one and only one history of the
world, that time travel is so dangerous. If your sudden appearance in
the time line alters event that are already document proven history.
Then the world of physics is thrown into chaos. The foundation of the
whole universe becomes destablized. It's like a bomb going off in the
fabric of time. Very dangerous business, this time travel. ..."

bboy_mn responds:
Isn't it safer and easier to destory all 'nuclear bombs' (*or insert
nasty thing of your choice), instead of making laws about them?

Not intending to offend anyone, but someone once said that if God
didn't exist, we would have to invent him/her.

Someone invented the Time Turner, and you can destory them all and
supress all knowledge of them, but sooner or later, someone will
invent them again. It's in man's/woman's nature to seek out mysteries
and solve them. Little boys/girls dream of magical things like time
travel, and sooner or later one of those little boys/girls will make
that dream a reality.

Better to instill good conscience in people than to try to supress
knowledge.

Of course, that's just my opinion.
