Suppose, for entertainment purposes, you witness an asteroid smashing into the world in the future, wiping out a few billion people. And so you're sent back to your timeline. What do you do?
Would you place yourself into a position of being mocked and alienated? You have no proof. You would be called a conspiracist wack-job. Ugh. Perhaps even offered medications. Jeepers creepers! Right?
The event will present itself in the final hours....like a thief in the night.
You say nothing. It's that simple. It's almost like telling a group of dummies to stop jumping off of cliffs or they might get hurt. Will that deter them from not jumping? Hell no. Actually, it might cause them to perform more jumps.
Telling people a massive rock is headed for Earth will only cause them to make movies about it. Perhaps the clever swindlers will see this as an opportunity to milk taxpayers for some overpriced project called, Looking for Asteroids. And so the cost of the project is a million. But they'll charge the taxpayers, 10 billion.
So you say nothing.
