Depends..

Would it help? Would it harm? What's the balance? Can you actually prove it, or would they keep disbelieving? People are often stubborn that way.

You could try it on us?

Well, technically, there is never going to be anything that everyone believes in. There will always be people who believe that the evidence isn't real but is just some government agency messing with people or something.

But really, it's hard to say what you should do. It depends on what it is and it depends on the proof you actually have. Then that has to be weight against how much it would hurt the person you know. If it's proving that Elvis is still alive at the cost of someone important, not really worth it, but if it's the proof of Artificial Intelligence that might send a robot in the past to kill someone at the cost of someone important, then it would be worth it because you'd actually be doing something with that information/proof.

The Novikov self-consistency principle would like to have a word with that theory. If it's going to happen, it already has. If it hasn't, it won't. What ever we would/will do with that information would/will/has/had lead to it already having become/becoming/became true. :)

The time travel theory by Novikov is pretty simple actually. The past is the past. It already happened.

If someone in the future is going to travel to the past and change it, then that already happened from our perspective, because the change is in the past. So the history we remember would already be the altered version.

We wouldn't see the change, because the change would already be made. It would just be history.
