(76,461 posts)As an adult, travel into the future bugs me.
If nothing has happened yet, there's no future to travel into.
Unless one accepts the Feynmann notion. But I don't, so it's a pet sci-fi peeve.

(72,019 posts)The time machine keeps the operator in a kind of conscious, real-time stasis, while time goes by outside at its normal diurnal pace. To the time traveler, it feels like only minutes or hours have passed, instead of centuries and millennia.

(76,461 posts)...traveling forward to events that haven't occurred.
Sort of requires a belief in predestination that I don't have.
If events have yet to occur, there's nothing to travel into.
Also, it bugs me when people travel back in time to an earlier point in their own life. They can't be in 2 places at the same time.
Like Marty McFly seeing himself get shot at. He was in both places at once.
Enjoyed the movie, but that part bugged me.
