[Closed] Time travel

some ladies, probably.

Go to the time a perpetual motion machine had been sorted and see what theyre doing with it! 😆

have you seen the film 'Caligula'? 8)

i'd go back an kill my grandfather

Go as far back as possible. Go as far forward as possible.

Stomp on some mudskippers.

Go back in time the exact point where not shaving was deemed inappropriate and gun everyone down and change the history books

Didn't you ask me this next week?

I'd go back and rescue Hillclimber's grandfather.

[i]Didn't you ask me this next week? [/i]

No, he will ask it next week.

I'd go back as far as say... hmmm...??? 6 years then change one or two things, significant things, in my life back then.
Then I'd go forward and see how it worked out..cos' at the moment I've only got one view of it..
Then I'd go back and change those few things again, then go forward, repeat until satisfied with the result..

Hindsight hey..wonderful thing hindsight.

If you had a time machine, what would you do with it?

Time travel.

Going back in time is fairly simple but we have yet to be able to go forward in time. Contrary to the Brown Principle 1.21 gigawatts is simply not enough power to complete the forward jump so once you are back there is unfortunately no way to return to the previous time line.

Oh, and you can't change anything btw. Because if you do anything in the past, it's already happened, hasn't it? Cos it's in the past. These are the rules of this game anyway.

I'm talking about seeing and doing things, mostly. Not fixing your own mistakes. You can't have messed up your life that badly anyway - you've got a frickin time machine!

id go back to 2007 and give marzocchi one of their 08/09 forks just to prove how badly handled their move to the far east would be

The lottery numbers thing probably wouldn't work either, unfortunately.

You might make a few quid out of the horses though. Or for that matter the Stock Market

I'd go back and rescue Highclimber's grandfather.

FTFY

Headshot with a sniper.

I would travel back in time a one day at a time having casual sex with any girl that would let me. By traveling backwards in this way i would never have to deal with the fallout that normally accompanies such shoddy behaviour.

Plan!

Have I missed something here or is anyone else confused by this?

Just you Chvck, we've all got it!

chvck could go back..... [i]to school[/i]...

Actually, on second thoughts, I'd kill highclimber's grandfather.

With a sniper rifle.

😆

Erm.."mistakes"? erm... nope.
Surely fixing things is what time travel is all about and what it's main invention is for. Otherwise it's just like a thrid person watching Ytube vid's recorded content.. where you can look but not interact..
Fixing things seems like a pretty logical thing to use time travel for.
Admit it, I'm not the only fella who would want to fix something[i]

chvck could go back..... to school...

Oh, back to the future then is it? I've only seen it once I think and I wasn't paying attention then either!

Not this time machine. This is all about experiencing things and seeing stuff that we can currently only perceive through written accounts and dodgy drawings.

actually id go back and shag your mum and possibly become your father

😆 😆 😆

actually I'd go back and shag my mum and possibly become my father

actually id go back and shag your mum

done that already. she wasn't all that.

I quite like the look of Marty McFly's mum when she was young so I think I'd don some blue suede shoes, quiff up the hair and head back to the school prom.

1 - I'd like to watch the alps being formed. Possibly the himalaya, I'm not really fussy.

2 - I'd like to see the Sermon on the Mount. And see if he was using powerpoint. I always like to imagine the slide featuring a picture of the earth, with an arrow pointing to a meek man.

3 - I'd try to stop that lighting rig falling on Curtis Mayfield.

Would I also be able to reverse the aging process ??

Anyways - I would def go and "meet" some people before they were famous, just to see what they were really like. Elvis Presley and Jonny Cash spring to mind.

Brilliant 🙂

I always imagine going back in time to pick up some inventor or other, and bring them forward to show what their invention has done for the world. Tommy Flowers, Karl Benz, Ada Lovelace..

Oh, and another thing I'd do - go way way way back in time to see the site of my home town at different points in history.. going all the way back to virgin wilderness... One day when I'm good at photoshop I'll get some landscape pictures and roll them back myself.

Oh Ok then... if demsdarules.

I'll go back to;
Watch Leonardo chip away at stuff..
Watch Verdi create La Trav..
Watch Nureyev prance about a bit..
Watch Giotto paint a bit..
Watch Charles 1st battle against the Church a bit..
Watch Jesus put pen to scrll..
Watch Khufu and his slaves put stones on top of each other at the Great Pyramid..
Watch Senna at Interlargos drive a bit..
Watch....
The world go by from space a bit..

It's a time and space machine, of course. So you could do stuff like land on the moon where Apollo 11 was going to land and write 'HI GUYS!' in huge letters in the dust.

I'd also like to go back and ask Shakespeare what he thought his plays were really all about.

I did see a satirical version of the PPT for the Gettysurg address once, Can't remember where it is now though. I'm sure there are plenty for the sermon

 

I went back to a time before life existed on earth, knocked one out into a puddle and left. All life that is, comes from me and was inspired by Jenna Jameson.

I can't see why. If you travel back in time to say 20 years ago, then hung around for 5 minutes, then travelled 6 minutes back in time you'd arrive 1 minute before you left. Then all you have to do is not go. So in 1 minute, you'd never have travelled back at all and that time machine would have been a waste of time.

I'd go back a few hundred years with a (battery powered) DVD player/screen and a copy of Independence Day. That'd freak a few people out and might be a giggle.

1 - I'd like to watch the alps being formed. Possibly the himalaya, I'm not really fussy.

That'd be quite cool. I'd like to go a few steps up from the geological time scale though and obvserve some of the stellar and galactic events that occur over incomprehensibly long time periods.

OK so we can time travel but does the time travel mean that we end up in the same spot as we left? If so is that the same point in space/time or what? So what happens if we go back a really long time and it turns out that this position was once inside a hill, are we instantly crushed to death?

I always thought travelling into the future was the easy bit - all you need to do is wait for the future to arrive.

And so all you need to do is figure out a way to not die while you're waiting.

Tell my friend she's suffering from an undetected heart condition and that she'll die if it remains undetected 🙁

No, the machine allows for this. Unlike H.G. Wells' one.

A really long time ago, this planet wasn't here, it was somewhere else. So back in time to the same spot = death by freezing vacuum. Johnny Alpha's Time Bomb weapon exploited this by hurling anyone in the vinity 5 minutes into the past, by which time the plaet had moved on and they popped. (Strontium Dog, 2000AD for the uneducated or non terminally geeky)

EDIT sorry, the weapon WILL exploit that, it hasn't been invented yet, at least not in this temporal dimension.

lol at bigbutslimmer bloke! The wight ferry 🙂

Watch where the Knights Templar buried the Holy Grail..
Watch Ray LaMontagne write "Trouble"..
Watch Nile Rogers plinkyplonk a bit on the telecaster of his..
Watch Carl Sagan at one of his lectures..

Say Hi to my long lost Dad.

I'd go forward in time and make sure my daughter is okay after I'm gone.
