Time Travel Day 6

[Acer]

If a world ending event was going to happen very soon and you were the only one who could stop it, time traveling into the future would tell you if you succeeded or failed.

Why not just time travel back in time to stop the source of the event?

I mean you could do both if you really wanted to, there are multiple ways to fix this scenario with time travel.

Going into the future would be a hit or miss. If the world ending event was so devastating that it made the planet inhabitable then you’d be fucked going into the future.

Not exactly, if you know you'll be going into the past later (saving the world) it would save your present self. The only way you would be fucked is if you never solved the problem.
