The provided research story excerpts touch upon the ethical concerns surrounding time travel, primarily focusing on the implications of two-way travel. The excerpts explain that future humans initially engaged in one-way time travel, believing it wouldn't directly alter their timeline. However, the discovery of "two-way doors" introduces the possibility of altering their own past and future, creating ethical dilemmas. The ability to travel back and forth in time within the same dimension raises concerns about the potential consequences of changing history and impacting individuals in the future. The excerpts emphasize that the future humans are actively trying to prevent the misuse of two-way time travel due to these ethical implications.
In the future Earth society, 8,000 years in the future, humans have evolved to understand that their actions and thoughts have a holistic impact. This awareness has helped to reduce crime and conflict, as individuals now recognise how their behaviour is interconnected with societal well-being. This ethical evolution has resulted in societal norms that focus on cooperation, empathy, and sustainability. People are encouraged to think and act positively, as negativity is understood to have a detrimental impact on both themselves and the collective consciousness.
