One of the most devastating lies a time traveler could tell would be that a major global disaster, such as a catastrophic war or a natural calamity, is inevitable and will occur on a specific date unless drastic actions are taken. The fear and panic generated by this claim could lead to widespread chaos, long-term societal upheaval, and potentially even a self-fulfilling prophecy if people act out of desperation. It could break down trust in institutions and create divisions among nations and communities, all based on a fabricated timeline. Plus, the emotional toll on individuals and families who feel helpless to counteract such an “inevitable” fate could be profound and long-lasting.
