Hindsight bias, as defined in the article Hindsight Bias and Developing Theories of Mind by Andrew N. Meltzoff and Geoffrey R. Loftus, occurs when "people armed with advanced knowledge of an outcome 'overestimate the probability of that particular outcome, essentially claiming that they 'knew it all along'" (Meltzoff). People who experience this very common bias may be drawn to the idea of ​​going back to the past to solve all their problems because they live in the present. Knowing what the present holds, people believe that if they went back in time, they could change the future and, in return, have a better future.
