Some thoughts
 
In Denmark we have a saying:

You can't eat your cake and stil have it

Under this circumstances we are living under these days it is true

If we could time travel what then??

Let say I take a bite of a very delicious cake and eat it and then I travel 3 minutes back in time to the same spot. Now here's my thoughts

1. Will the cake be there untouched?
2. Will I see my self standing there drooling
3. The bite I had eaten in the future, will it still be in my stomach or have it disappeared during my time travel

It'll still be there. In diverging timelines stopping yourself from eating it will not effect the original timeline in which you ate the cake. In a deterministic timeline you can't stop yourself from eating the cake no matter what you do. In an overwriting timeline it has already been determined that you've eaten the cake, so despite going back you haven't stopped yourself from eating the cake.

The real question is:

would you eat the cake at all, with yourself popping out of the future, telling you the story of the cake, just because you are curious to see what happens if you don't eat it?

If we're going back in time can I bring this weeks winning lottery number with me?

:) Biffs mistake is he went back too far. A week or two, a month at the most would be all you'd really need.

My friends thanks for your answer to my thoughts

However, every answer could be correct of wrong and we do not know until we invent the time machine-what is correct and not regarding those theories

Time travel is not possible, it would make the universe implodite...
It is the same with Google. If you enter the word 'Google' in Google you would destroy the internetz!

We are timetraveling all the time, but the speed and direction seems to be fixed.
