tough call...with time travel you have about a ninety percent chance of destroying the universe as we no it.
Probably.


Give me a little, and I'll find something about that.

Couldn't find the exacts but..


Ok.

Let's say that humans have survived to almost the end of the universe. They face sure destruction, so they use their time travel technology to move back to near the beginning to time. Assuming they do the same thing again, then the minute the first refugee went back, there would be an trillions and trillions of them consuming all the resources in the universe simultaneously.


Because they would do this over and over again, and the past versions of them would also be doing the same thing, so you end up with millions and millions of the same civilization all using resources and taking over the same universe.

I don't think time travel can end the universe inadvertently.

So you make the entire universe go in reverse?

In order for that to happen, everything would have to go backwards.

Then you did not make all of time move in reverse?

So you managed to make a temporal event that stretched across the entire universe?

That's how time works. You can't move it in just one area.

Also, time slows down in areas of high gravity.
