There’s an idea that we may not be aware of as a species. Some may have called it “Cancel Culture” and some may have just use it as proof in case of emergency. The concept happens when two or more people are in a conversation when past events or activities has taken place where one of the person(s) is being referred to. Information of the past are to be different from the present. The Time Travel Theory is when someone reacts to something in the past that has been already been resolved and mutually concluded. Mentioning to someone that they are a time traveler means letting them know that they are focusing on information that was already proven incorrect or settled. Therefore, there is already an answer that rectified it.

If someone else talks about an piece of information that they didn’t know was already solved to someone else, that person they told the information to will “time travel” to the third person where the information becomes new information to them while it was already solved and concluded. This in turn causes the second person to attempt to “Cancel” or “whistle blow” the third person. Time traveling through information causes many confusions with the parties involved & at times there lies a bridge that connects information together. We can be our own time travelers for information but time traveling for others can result in mutual detonation.

Cancel culture is when information that is revealed in a public or social setting whether it is online or in person. This concept has a negative connotation to it. This idea is to ostracize a person or group of people in order to provide embarrassment and negative reinforcement. Cancel culture comes with a collection of a large group of individuals who are more publicize rather than individuals that you don’t know. Cancel culture is also derived from the concept of “calling someone out” on their BS.

The notion that someone is using misconstrued information to validate something that is untrue, irrelevant or negative. Using social media to exploit what might be meant to be a shady business, to the world that the information that was given or received is wrong and should be punished for said actions. Much like the mother from “Game of Thrones” the person (or company) should be shamed for their crimes and acts committed. Regardless of intent, cancel culture can create officer and judge to the perpetrator at hand because the audience that gains the power to police these pseudo “crimes” are the people.

A whistleblower is someone that is often an employee who revels information about a company or organization that is mostly illegal, immoral or detrimental to the targets. Much like cancel culture within the time travel theory, transferring information with intentions of sabotage, or simply to “cancel” someone or something becomes a wave of a downward trajectory towards negative creations.

In business or a work environment, whistleblowing is the headlining streamline to punish those who breach a contract of some sort. Unknown to further information regarding what the whistleblower knows, they act on their own accord rather than instigate or create a following in order to police the source of the information.

The Time Travel Theory consists of the combinations of the whistleblower and cancel culture ideals to further teach and regulate the people and organizations that seem to use information for malicious needs. While some are not meant for such harmful needs, past information can be misunderstood and used against the accuser in order to find self clarity or validation on the events that are in question. The “Time Traveler” is a short handed term to better identify those who question others using information that may (or may have not fully) have concluded or resolved for better understanding,
