He even meets one of the brainbois who tells him exactly why backwards time travel is dumb. The act itself is paradoxical.

Whatever you went to do will be done, negating your need to go back and do it, causing it to need to be done again, causing you to go back and do it again, negating your need to go back and do it, causing it to need to be done again and just keep repeating like that.

This is one of my problems with time travel. Which is why I think time travel is fine as long as you dont mess with anything. The problem is, thats almost impossible to do.

That said, it also depends on what you do. For example, if someone disappeared from the past with no trace and you wen to back to see what happened to them, its possible you were the cause. And maybe you took them to the future. In that case, you didnt change the future, but caused it to happen. But that goes back to my original theory or everything that you go back to do has already happened. Kind of like you go back in time to try to fix something, and end up causing it to happen
