After what appears to have been extensive research on the subject, the good folks over at the iO9 “We Come From The Future” Blog have determined that even if you happen to invent a genuinely top-of-the-line time machine, you still won’t be able to use your invention to wack the Fuhrer. Personally, I tend to disagree. “Kill Hitler” is absolutely staying right where it is: #5 on my personal to do list. I will admit, however, that at least several of their explanations (not to mention the helpful cartoon imagery) are rather thought-provoking.

Without doubt, the entire iO9 team gave this article everything they’ve got but they still just can’t shake my resolve. I say if you’re truly confident in the functionality of your chosen time travel device, be a man, grab the nearest high-powered concealed weapon and go kick some Nazi ass.

Aside from rupturing the space-time continuum, what’s the worst thing that could happen?
