Time travel, Sphere and God Will

After reading the novel “Sphere” by Michael Crichton I been thinking and imagining what would happen if we someday have to opportunity to travel in time.  This will be probably something very risky. Just imagine that if today someone from the future comes, this someone will be at the same time affecting the future, which is normally his or her present. 

Some people say that in the future they would discover the technology to make people travel on time. But so far we haven’t seen anyone from the future visiting us, which means that probably this will never happen. Or maybe the technology is going to be invented, but those  with the power for using it, will be so concern about interrupting the delicate equilibrium of time, that they would be extremely precautious in not been seen by anyone. And in fact, some of the fans and researchers of paranormal events say that some of our photographs and videos of OVNIs are in fact those spacecrafts from the future incidentally being capture by someone, but the impact on the equilibrium of time is so small that it is not important to fix these mistakes.

If I would have the chance to go back to the past, probably I will try to do something altruistic, like killing Adolf Hittler before he started killing other people, or avoiding the colonizers to kill the natives in the Americas,  or calling the army some days before the 9/11. But we don’t know why things happen.  We do not know what God really want for us and for humanity, so sometimes, even we cannot explain what things happened, we need to learn that what we cannot control is God Will.

In the novel Sphere, the protagonists encountered a spacecraft, they initially though that this was some kind of alien object, but finally they came with the theory that this was in fact an American spacecraft from the future.

 Probably the most interesting part of the book is seeing how the characters got psychologically instable, even thought they were considered brilliant minds, this is probably one of Crichton messages, humans are so primitive for having a power like this.
