One of my high thoughts was thinking about time travel and wondering if the present is the only time when time as motion exists.

If so, and we were able to time travel into the past, we would arrive in an unmoving universe, unable to escape and trapped for all of eternity.

It kind of made me not want to be able to time travel.

    In my head it made me think of time as a wave and the present as being like a surfboarder on the wave.

    If you were to jump off of the surfboard, you would arrive at a point where there was no "wave" and therefore be unable to surf.
