Faster than light travel.

Time travel has the potential to unmake the universe

Time travel will make you more money provided you kept it to yourself and went back to tell your past self to make some smart investments.

The complication is once you make those investments, you change all future history and there’s no guarantee the future will play out the way you currently know it.

Define time travel.

If you’re going to plunder Ancient Egypt’s treasury, jumping back 3,000 years and ending up in South Louisiana would be problematic.

depending on the nature of the FTL travel you invent, it could also be time travel at the same time

Easy. (1) Invent time travel, (2) go to the future where faster-than-light travel exists, and (3) bring the tech back. Now I have both!

Already did, seems it was natural and had to do nothing

When I nap I do both as I travel faster than light into the future.

Time travel would be worthless bc you would end up in the middle of space. Billions of miles from earth.

The reason for this would be taken into the mathematical equation when inventing time travel.

Can you imagine humans with time travel? You want to see a really screwed up world. Faster than light travel is a better option.

You can actually do that in the US, crossing time zones.
