7 Hilarious and Thought-Provoking Time Travel Memes – Interesting Engineering

Are you looking for some awesome memes about time travel? Then you have come to the right place.

Here we have hand-picked some of the best memes about time travel available on the internet. Some of them will also make you think!

Enjoy.

RELATED: THE ONE QUESTION EVERYONE WONDERS: IS TIME TRAVEL POSSIBLE?

It is a common theme in many a science fiction film and novel, but is time travel possible? As it turns out, it might just be -- but would be incrediblydifficult to achieve.

"Mathematically, you can certainly say something istravelingto the past," Liu said. But it is notpossiblefor you and me totravelbackward intime, he said. "However, some scientists believe thattravelingto the past is, in fact, theoreticallypossible, though impractical." -Live Science.

But, it should be notedthat traveling "forward" in time might actuallybe more plausible.

"Travellingforwardsin time is surprisinglyeasy. Einsteins special theory ofrelativity, developed in 1905, shows that time passes at different rates for people who are moving relative to one another - although the effect only becomes large when you get close to the speed of light." - physics.org.

Going back in time is, however, probably impossible. According to the principles of relativity, this would probably require you to travel faster than the speed of light.

This is a feat widely believed to be impossible. Some scientists have postulated that things called "wormholes" could be a way around this.

But they are not foolproof either. You could only travel back as far in time as when the wormhole itself was created.

"However, it would still be impossible to go back further in time than the point at which the wormhole was created, limiting the options for travel somewhat - and possibly explaining why we havent encountered any visitors from the future. If any natural wormholes were formed in the Big Bang, it might be possible to travel to a limited number of points in the past and in the distant universe, but wouldnt enable one to flit around the cosmos at will as the Doctor seems to do."- physics.org.

But, it should be notedthat there are some who believe that "time" itself is something ofan illusion.

"According to theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli,timeis anillusion: our naive perception of its flow doesn't correspond to physical reality. Indeed, as Rovelli argues in The Order ofTime, much more is illusory, including Isaac Newton's picture of a universally ticking clock," - nature.com.

According to sites like popularmechanics.com, here are some of the best films about time travel: -

So, without further ado, here are some great memes about time travel. Trust us when we say this list is far from exhaustive and is in no particular order.

Here's an interesting ethical dilemma. If you could, would you go back in time to kill Hitler as a baby?

You would? But haven't you just killed an innocent baby?

Doesn't such an act make you as bad as people like Hitler?

Most believe that children are not born "evil" and are, in fact, products of their life's experiences, indoctrination into particular ideologies and upbringing, etc. Though some scientists have found links between brain physiology and anti-social traits like psychopathy.

So would killing baby Hitler be a "good thing?" You are, after all,judging an infant to death over a "precrime," like in theMinority Report.

Perhaps it would be better to have him raised by better parents?

But it might not matteranyway. If time travel was possible,people in the futurewould never have actuallyhave heard of him.

It would probably be best to keep it to yourself -- you have just killed a babyafter all.

Whenever time-travel is the main theme of a film, there is an unwritten rule that it must contain a certain amount of things. From unnecessarily complex scientific terminology to cliched quotes like "that's not how time travel works,"you might want toplay time-travel bingo next time you watch one.

It usually also has to include some ingenious, if slightly unhinged, scientist. This is simplya must.

A prime example is the recent Marvel blockbuster "Avengers: End Game."Thankfully, this film appears to have learned lessons from previous time-travel films and makes light of these many themes.

Quite refreshing.

Could this be proof that time travel is actuallypossiblein the future?"Dabbing" is a recent cultural phenomenon, isn't it?

Of course, in this photoshop day and age, we might not be able totrust the source of this image completely. Such sad times we live in.

It would be great to believe this image is, indeed, real, however.

But, in reality, this is actually a set pic from Christopher Nolan's recent blockbuster "Dunkirk."

We knew it. Everyone knows that the only reason Elon Musk is pushing mankind to colonize Mars is to fulfill his dreams of power.

And yet, there are still those who believe Musk's ambitions are purely altruistic. How could we have been so trusting?

Let's just hope he is a fair and magnanimous leader for the people of Mars.

With all the latest developments in genetic engineering, it can only be a matter of time before we get a real Jurassic Park? What could possibly go wrong?

But, given the warnings from Michael Crichton, perhaps it might not be a good idea.

After all, as Ian Malcolm famously said: "our scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didnt stop to think if they should." Never a truer word was spoken.

But, that being said, it would be awesome!

Well, well, what have we here? With all those DeLoreans and a Tardis, this can only mean one thing -- A Time Traveller meetingof some kind.

This is one party we would certainlylove to be invited to. Oh, to be a fly on the wall.

But would they actuallyhave an "annual" meeting? It seems a little redundant.

And lastly, but by no means least, is this great quote from Carl Sagan. As it turns out, from a certain point of view, we have been able to travel to the past for as long as the written word has existed.

It is incredible to think that by reading ancient writers, like Marcus Aurelius,Aristotle, John Locke, or Thomas Aquinas (to name but a few), we can, in a way, talk to people from the past. This really is a mind-blowing thought when you think about it.

Now get out there and "stand on the shoulders of giants."
