Easy. Backwards time travel is possible but by nature only when it is self consistent. For example, if you took a trip backwards in time you would not be able to kill your grandfather, and your grandfathers life would have already included your trip and whatever interactions you have with him. You would essentially just be a participant in a static time loop.

It's impossible to travel back it time. You could 'view' all of the past and future from the 5th dimension. But you wouldn't be able to interact in it.

It depends on if you put more stock into the butterfly effect or the alternate timeline theory. Also, killing the inventor of the time machine likely won't do much. You will want to go after whomever proves that time travel is actually possible.

That’s called a grandfather paradox

Easy. Just build a Tipler cylinder.
First take a piece of material 10 time the mass of the Sun, squeeze it together and roll it into a long, thin, super-dense cylinder – a bit like a black hole that has passed through a spaghetti factory. Then spin the cylinder up to a few billion revolutions per minute.
A ship following a carefully plotted spiral course around the cylinder would immediately find itself on a closed, time-like curve. It would emerge thousands, even billions, of years from its starting point and possibly several galaxies away. There are problems, though. For the mathematics to work properly, Tipler’s cylinder has to be infinitely long.

Sounds simple enough though doesn't it?

Reading that was a weird turn on.

I want to travel ahead a few hundred thousand years or maybe a million or so. I'd like to see whats living on Earth.
But can't go back in time, right? Once you're there, you're there. Better like those non-human beings that are your new neighbors.

Can't go back in time. Only forward. Baw.

About to test out my time machine.
Set for 1 minute in the past.

In the mythical world of time travel you would simply end up in an alternate universe/timeline.
Also the sky would be orange in this timeline.

The earth spins on its axis at 1050 miles per hour.
The earth orbits the sun at 19 miles per second.
Our solar system is orbiting the central hub of the milky way at 155 miles per second.
The milky way is traveling through space at 185 miles per second.
Lets say you wanted to time travel from your chair to your chair 1 second in the past. You would end up 230ish miles away from earth in the middle of space, or in a planet or a sun.
