    Dig up your future bones, bring them back in time and bury them in the same spot.

    Only YOU can prevent paradoxes. Time travel responsibly.

      That would be sick. My family goes to bury my body but they’re like “Oh my God, he was dead the whole time!” Get Shyamalon’d, Mom.

        Wouldn’t it realistically be some guy with a backhoe digging out a fresh grave? I would assume he would go to the graveyard site and just tell his manager that one of the graves was unmarked.

    Meticulous attention to restoring your own future gravesite after the graverobbing will not prevent altering the future in ways impossible in the normal passage of time. Obviously, unspeakable events will unfold.

    I propose, in order to prevent any time slippage issues, I offer a future grave robbing service. In the the future, when you are gone, but I am here, time travel tech will be a-ok!

    So you can pay me now, and receive your own bones at any point in your life. We have a London shipping underwriters service to guarantee satisfaction and we try really hard to avoid “time crimes”, hahaha who are those time cop clowns

    I’ve pondered on the idea that, although not comfortably, you could in theory have any bone in your body surgically removed and live to see it. Except your skull. You’ll never see your own skull.

    I mean you never know when you’ll need a spare set of bones. It’s smart to keep an extra set of bones in the trunk of your car along with some emergency equipment, ropes, and a shovel.

    It won’t work as there is no you remaining to age, die, and leave bones for you to find.

    What you need to do is travel back in time, stop your past self from doing the same, and THEN going forward in time to get your bones.

      But maybe that’s the key to immortality ! Get your own bones so that you will never leave any remains - > immortality achieved

      It could work. You’d just have to make sure to know when and where you will die. Then you could take your bones go back in time and die where you are supposed to.

      But then there won’t be a future self to go back and stop the past self from doing what his current self will never do in the first place.

      He needs to go forward like planned and make sure he returns to give his current(now past and future)self his own bones and then end himself to break the paradox.

      If they’re just gonna return back to the exact point in time they left they’re guaranteed to supply their past self with their future bones
