What is it with time travel?

I really enjoy reading, but there is something that never fails to get on my nerves when reading a book.  Time travel, it doesn’t matter how much I like the series; time travel will usually ruin it for me. It seems that the harder you think about time travel, the more confused you get. J. K. Rowling’s idea of time travel makes sense until you think how other people would use it. Shouldn’t there be strange things happening to Harry from those that want to stop him at all costs? There are only few choice moments where that type of time travel works. All books with time travel have something that can be questioned. Artemis Fowl is even worse. It switches between forms of time travel. First (with the demons) Artemis changes the past and creates a new sculpture. While in the next book is sort of like what happens in Harry’s world.  There are other forms of time travel that are even worse. The ones where you go back in time to change your ancestors’ past, is just crazy. Half of those people shouldn’t even exist when change the event. I feel that they should just remove time travel from books. Looking into the past is fine, but interacting with the past or future is just crazy. This brings me to my next point. Going to the future is just as bad as going to the past. If you travel to the future, you have left the present. It is like you died, but no one knows how or where your body is. You shouldn’t be able to see your inventions you created because you weren’t there to invent them. All of your changes in the future will have no meaning because you will create a new past that has you in it. It also says that everything can be predicted with some equation and the future you go to is set in stone. I feel that that is a negative thought. If science was able to figure out everything thing that we’ve done, are doing, and will do, what’s the point in living? It might have even predicted every word I was going to write in this paper. Isaac Asimov had the right idea in “Foundation” when he makes it clear that it might be possible to make a formula that can predict the total outcome in general, but if we could travel into the future, there would need to be a formula for every single one of us. The moral of this blog is time travel is so confusing that it shouldn’t even exist in books.
