More stupidity at We're Out of Cornflakes

This is the only outcome that would have worked. If he killed baby Hitler, Hitler would have still existed because if they killed him, they wouldn't have made the time machine to go back and kill him, thus reverting back to the original timeline. The only option is to steal baby Hitler's toys.

That's just the grandfather paradox

It works for most things.

Or to want the toys bad enough so that you'd still make the machine just to go back for them

That’s if the inventor made the Time Machine with the only purpose of killing hitler. Let’s say that was just one of his tasks on the list.

The world would be infinitely different

Now we know why Hitler was so cruel.All he wanted was his missing toys stolen from him as an infant!

Maybe he was destined to see it. Maybe Hitler killing everyone prevented an even bigger tragedy. Best course of action so to speak

The paradox remains. If Hitler died as an infant, you don't use the time machine to go back and kill him.

So you’re saying time is always fixed and the past can not be altered.

Yes.

Travelling backwards in time is impossible due to causality.

Travelling forwards in time relative to now is possible due to time dilation from increased speed + distance from Earth.

Or you could just freeze yourself in the snow and wake up in 2546 and become the time child.

The past is the present waiting to become the future. All three of these exist simultaneously. The human mind is only capable of perceiving the present.

You could probably alter small things, but there is probably a hard limit of what can and can't be done. A better use of the energy would be to save the people who got murdered at the death camps. There's a really cool episode from the 90s outer limits where a time traveler helps a lawyer try and prosecute a former German death camp guard.

Why do people always want to kill Hitler? It will happen in a other way like now with Ukraine. You're better of saving Nicola Tesla and prevent the combustion engine and develop the electric car together with free energy.
