As part of my research for the 2010 Great American Read, you might recall that I conducted a blog post about time travel. That post was called "If You Could Go Back in Time". It discussed the idea of travelling back in time and meeting your younger self, or even someone else who seemed more successful/interesting than you are currently. Eventually it grew into discussing just how often people wish they could do this. Most Americans believe they would want to travel back in time on average 18 times if given the chance! Of course, there is no chance to go back in time, so these responses are entirely hypothetical -or at least people think they're hypothetical. You see, time travel is a concept that is hard to grasp, and it's a bit more complicated than just going back in time to meet your younger self.
So how do you know which events would have a significant impact on your own life? How do you know which events would make you happier now? If an alternate version of yourself appeared in the past and asked you these questions. You might not like all the answers. You might not like some answers at all! When people think about the past, they tend to paint it black and white; we remember little details as either positive or negative, and we interpret those threads of our history as leading us towards our current life. We often assume that we would be happier now if we had made different decisions in the past. But what if you got the chance to change your mind about those original decisions? What if you could fix any event or decision from your past? Would you still make the same decisions? Would you be happier now if things were different? Would the present become better or worse? Would you choose one path over another, knowing what you know now?
If I were able to go back in time, should I visit myself as a college student or meet myself at my current age? Or should I go back to my high school self and correct some of my mistakes before they ever happened? ... Perhaps the most important question I ask myself when thinking about time travel is actually something you can actually do right now. What if you had the chance to go back in time and make the same decisions, but with all of your present knowledge? Would you choose one path over another, knowing what you know now? If you could go back in time, would you want to?
I think that is really the only question worth asking when thinking about this concept.

In 2010, Stephen Sparks spent several months researching and interviewing Americans from all over the country to see how they view the past. In his research, he discovered that people tend to think of life as a linear progression from beginning to end. This linear progression lets us believe that our choices today will result in our future selves being just as happy or content as we are today. Yet, when people look back on their own lives, they realize that there were many different paths they could have taken in life; some choices might have led them toward adversity while other choices might have led them to happiness.
