This one, time travel, the most compelling cases written by Ilza. Thank you, Ilza. Read by me. I've never read it before. That's the format of the show. Welcome if you're new here. Uh, time travel. Uh, I mean, real. We're all moving forward in time in about one second to second. But backwards time travel

and stuff, I don't think that's possible. I think, yeah, just no. But let's jump in. Let's see if there's

anything that does compel me because we're looking at the most compelling cases. Let's go.

If you could travel anywhere in time, where would you go? Would you want to go forward in time

to see whether humanity manages to survive itself and actually thrive in the future?

Or would you travel back in time to some significant historical event to answer the question

once and for all, did Harold get an arrow in the eye at the Battle of Hastings and what happened to the missing Roman Legion? I don't know. Like those things I just don't think are that important. I'm just like, oh, it's not that much of a mystery. I mean, if it is a mystery, I just don't care about it that much. I think I'd definitely go forward in time to see what we're up to in the future, to see what we achieve. Personally, while I'd love to see history unfold,

I have no intention of staying anywhere without indoor plumbing, hot showers and antibiotics for more

than a couple of hours. Yes. Yes. The past was filled with diseases. It was a bad time.

The idea of traveling through time, changing history, fixing mistakes, or catching glimpse of the future is one that has fascinated us for centuries, but it was H.G. Wells who first introduced us to the concept of building machine that could travel through time. Was it really? Was he the first one to come up with the idea of an actual time machine in his novel, The Time Machine? Surely people had the idea of some sort of machine

that could travel through time before that book. It's not that old in the grand scheme of things.

Of course, these days, anything can be a time machine, police boxes, delorians, even hot tubs,

and anyone can be a time traveler. In fact, you don't even need a machine to travel through time.

Sometimes it just kind of happens.

I think we can all agree that most time travel stories are products of vivid imagination and a liberal dosage of medicinal herbs.

Every once in a while a story comes along that makes you pause and wonder, is time travel possible?

Uh, no. I don't know. I've never come across a story where I've been like, oh wow, yeah, they did travel through time.

It's always been a rational explanation, but let's continue.

So many time travelers.

I wasn't entirely prepared for just how many time travel stories there are out there.
