It's a whole an other topic as to whether the people of the time would accept it or seem you a witch and burn you.

For example, bumping into someone in the past which would make them miss a stoplight, making them miss an important meeting by minutes that determined the effects of a company that would develop a certain technology. The slight things we do in every day actions can determine huge things impacted later on.

There's also the possibility of an unchanging timeline, where certain effects of attempting to change the past will always end with the same result. If this was the case, it could maybe explore the chances of time travel actually existing in the future, but why we haven't seen any travelers in the present or past. I guess you could call it "fate", for a lack of better words.
