Hmm. 1 doller into $39,323,261,827.22 in just 5 hundred years. What a deal!
Lets see, at the current rate of inflation, blah, blah, blah......
In 5 hundred years that should be enough for a happy meal and a cup of coffee at McDonalds.
Assuming of course Burger King hasn't bought them out by then.

^^Of course you realize they get around that by not announcing the numbers until Sunday there.
Also, here's an interesting idea about "Loop Investing" -- if you do it with a fixed amount, shouldn't be a problem. But if you do it with a percentage, you cause an even worse paradox. In the former, the money doesn't actually come from anywhere. In the latter, the money never exists at all, since the amount is never set.

If time travel is invented in the future, wouldn't we already have had visitors? Maybe they hide themselves.

An infinite timeline extending into the future would yield infinite chances for a civilization to develop and use time-travel. But still, no visitors.WordInterrupted said:

Maybe they can watch the past on television, but not actually visit.

Or maybe any interference they've created in the past plays out from our perspective as though there were no interference at all. After all, we have no external frame of reference, so if someone from the future changed something, we'd never know it.

Sardy! You can only send your money forward in time! It's not allowed to go back through time. That's because your present money has already seen the Future Money. It could change the history of banking. Mr Spock might never be born. Did you ever think of that?Sardonica said:
