The Idea of Time Travelling

i wonder if anyone h's ever taken a similar approach to the concept of time travel. I think it says something about our desire to discover weird things and reveal the truth, which i'm totally pathetic to.  I also want to peel back a layer of the universe and wake up to its true nature. And would they even be humans? Right? Like we fantacize about going back to see the dinosaurs. So if were, now we're putting ourselves back in the past and imagining time traveller, we might have to imagine some like post human apocalyptic newly intelligent species of penguins or or something.
