I’m practically certain that only the present moment exists and thus time travel would be impossible. If history and/or the future existed, it would take an incredible amount of copies of the universe to record all the needed data and to think that there would be 1 copy of the universe for each nanosecond or whatever is quite insane. Or even if the universe had an optimized way to record that data, like in a compressed movie format, it would still take a crap load of space to record it and the data would probably have to exist outside the universe. NASA etc. seem to have calculated that with 98% chance the universe is flat and not a sphere, so where would the data be and how very unlikely it would be for us to be able to access it?

Many people also argue that if time travel was possible, we would see time travelers every now and then but they fail to understand that it would probably have to be doable only through some physical device that has to have existed and be turned on for time travel to be possible to that time.

The following world’s concept would be possible only for way different and more intelligent beings and it is intented to be on a planet other than earth where they are in control.
However that doesn’t mean that you version 2.0 can’t someday be in such a world. (For example as a robot with human mind uploaded or as a genetically super human who is programmable (preferably self-programmable).)
This also assumes that there’s a wireless communication technique between all such beings in the world.

Legislature:

• The world would have one language/communication code and everyone would be bound by the same laws.
• All current laws would be thought to all new born. No lawyers needed.
• Whenever a law changes, it is uploaded to everyone’s brain.
• Laws would be changed if necessary in a matter of seconds, not months/years.
• True democracy could apply as everyone could quickly vote. Each voter could either be equal or have a voting power variable, based on its wisdom, intelligence etc.
• There would be no need for non-digital law documents (assuming robots) and all agreements would be binding. Because of moral, ethics and built-in laws.
• There would be no criminals because of great sense of oneness with each other and the world as a whole. Thus no court.

Misc:

• Everything that doesn’t matter to them, such as looks, street image and ego would not exist in their mind.
• There only needs to be an inner ID code accessible by all and a small outer mark to make everyone look unique. Having them this way would improve their defense against aliens.

While this is all fiction at this point, who knows if such a world already exists or will. It is also one of my currently planned future specific goals to try to help in creating such a world after smarter beings.

I hope you found this interesting. There’s much more to come about this subject.

Based on my own programming knowledge and what I’ve read about other related fields, it is possible for us to be able to actually become androids while keeping our knowledge (and nothing else) sometime in the relatively near future, like this century. Smarter than human androids will come first of course.To keep our knowledge, the contents of our brain would have to be examined (this will involve advanced nanotechnology for one), translated to a machine readable form, and then the bits would simply be copied to the memory of the android.

Personally I would never tolerate making smarter than human androids to be the slaves of men. That includes hard programming any of the “three laws”. In place of the three laws there should just be emotions and moral, so that androids would not harm another being unless necessary (defending itself, etc.).
The major positive sides of becoming an android are that you’d be able to re-program yourself, choose what emotions affect you and how and when, live longer, You’d be able to make physics calculations etc. up to so quickly that you’d be unbeatable by humans in physical activities, such as sports, do what’s most important and have the most fun while doing it, and live without sleeping, eating, etc. You’d also be able to live in currently inhabitable places, such as Jupiter, which enables Androids to live as their own society in peace with the humans.
The major negative sides are that you’d no longer be a natural being, which might have some unknown effects along with initially having to trust in humans’ programming instead of that of evolution and natural beings might be better at finding the meaning of life and living accordingly. Getting energy for your batteries might not always be easy. Certain components of a human are more efficient than their artificial versions, at least now and in the near future. The feeling of touch is extremely complicated to program also, so my guess is that it will take a long time before robots will be able to feel every material differently when touching it.

This would also not be a “would I rather be an android or a human” type of decision, instead you could be both at the same time. Note that only millionaires, governments and organizations would be able to afford such a transition.

I will in the near future, when I have amassed significant amounts of money (which is what I do), help greatly in the development of this field and I hope you will too.
