If you could travel through time/space anytime you wanted what would you do? Assuming that there wouldnt be an existence destroying paradox or some kind of side effect from long term exposure to being out of the present.
Re: What would you do with a TIME MACHINE?
What's your fascination with this? Psycho. Dark Ages. Love those medieval weapons.
i would go back 6 months in time and sort out something in my life before it crashed down and destroyed everything
I would go back in time to 1918 when hitler was still a student then give him a hand shake and take him into oblivion
JPNOD wrote on Sat, 22 October 2005 09:47 I would go back in time to 1918 when hitler was still a student then give him a hand shake and take him into oblivion How would he fit in me? and where? I wish i had my Vickers Light Tank Model from Ren1918. Also i always pondered the idea of going back to the twin towers on that morning and trying to convence them to get the hell out. The intercom system would be best, however, how do you get the receptionist to let you get on it without 15 security gaurds jumping you. I always try to come up with the best way and story so they dont mix you into the terrorist group.
Go back to a week ago and tell myself not to get that speeding ticket; my dad's gonna kill me when he finds out....
Take 100 dollars and live like a king in the past!
I would go back to the 1940s, so I could live through that era. (After the war). They had the SWEETEST cars from 1940-1970. I'd love to see it.
Or...you could go to the future and take some technology etc. come back and live like a king in this time/world.
Go back to when counter-strike first came out and beat everyone because they don't know how to play yet. (not serious) It'd sure be funny though.
I wouldn't kill Hitler simply because I probably wouldn't have been alive if I World War 2 wouldn't have happened. My great uncle and my grandma would be alive, and possibly even my mom, but I'm doubting my dad would have been alive because my grandpa served in Italy, married an Itallian chick, was forced to get a divorce, and then come back overseas to marry my grandma. During that time, he probably would have met someone else other than my grandma, and that equals me not being here. (Yes, I do spend good amounts of time thinking about how much just ONE life effects the world. I mean, think about it... just remove ONE person from history 300 years ago, and you've just changed the world drastically. What if he was the father of someone who spawned 10 children who spawned an average of 3 each, and so on and so forth.) I would, however, go back and live in the last century of the Roman empire just before the Dark Ages. Rome was so technologically advanced. I mean, they literally had running water in their homes, and I don't mean leaks. It's just awesome to try and fathom what our technology would be like if we never lost those 1000 years of technology thanks to the Dark Ages.
I'd use it to travel back and forth instantly from my location, to my fiancee's. It's a bitch booking airfare and spending 16 hours or more in a plane or terminal, just because I want to visit. It makes weekend visits virtually impossible. This would solve everything =D Because I could spend any spare hours at all there, and with the way I skip class, that's roughly 75% of the day. I could sleep there too and just zap back if there was a class I really wanted to take.
TheGunrun wrote on Sat, 22 October 2005 07:45 If you could ... would you do? I'd go back to either second or seventh grade. I fucked up second grade. I totally fucked up seventh. Biggest black spots in my mind. Those two school years are what make me who I am today: a pathetic computer geek with no girlfriend, bad dental hygiene, no money, and all-around no life. I want to change those years more than anything else.
Well, it's possible to change it now..if you really want. Depending on your age, get a dog and get involved in training it. You'll get friends etc, who aren't computer geeks. Start going to the gym a few times a week. Go to the dentist and brush your teeth at least twice a day. Get a job. See, not that hard
Would travel to the 1980s, and kill Osama Bin Laden
Go back in time and buy 10,000 shares of Google when it was at about $100 a share.

I would re-do the end of my senior year of high school over. I would act differently in the job I had at the time and kept it instead of getting fired, then I would have been able to go to college. I'm not sure how that would have affected where I am now, so I probably wouldn't actually do it. In order to keep Blazer in my life and whatnot, I probably just would have gone back to when I bought my minivan and decided to keep my old car instead. It would be almost paid off by now, a year later.
I would fix it so no one could ever travel backwards through time. I'm satisfied with the way things are. If anything I would look to the future to improve things, at least it makes more sense to me...
The concept of going backward in time was hypothosised by the proposal of traveling faster than the speed of light. However, due to the laws of particle phisics, when an atom accelarates past the speed of light, its mass energy increases to that of the size of the universe. One atom can take up the entire Universe. With that said, it has also been discovered that the Universe at one point was much smaller than today, so small infact that it was smaller than the size of a single atom. Wow, i love Physics, glad i took it at A level. Also this makes me think about traveling further through time. Would it mean that you have to go in some way, slower than time itself?
JPNOD wrote on Sat, 22 October 2005 09:47 I would go back in time to 1918 when hitler was still a student then give him a hand shake and take him into oblivion There in itself lies a paradox...... If you killed him, yes you would save millions of lives in the long run. But how many exsistences would you destroy? for example, without world war II I wouldn't exsist today, my nana was Austrian, my grandfather was English, they met when the allies won and occupated Austria, he could speak 8 languages and was digging a trench when they first met, she thought he was a prisioner of war....but she emigrated to England. So my dad and my auntie are out of the picture. My aunties 2 children, my brother and I, my baby girl....Now take just that selection of people that no longer exsist and multiply it by how many generations they could create....that's what messing with time does. I would use a time machine to go back into the Prehistoric parts of the world, and see what color dinosaurs really were...because no one knows!
I'd use it to investigate and document the history of the Earth, (how long it was around, how it got started, etc.), certain events, and certain conspiracy theory events, like the JFK assassination, the moon landing (which I believe happened, and all of the "evidence" that conspiracy theorists use to try to disprove it, actually prove it), etc. to know what really happened.

No one knows that though, we have hundreds of species on our planet that we dont even know about. We have creatures that lived here and we dont know what color they were. We cant even give a 100% truth to the idea that we came from apes. 200 years ago we KNEW the world was flat. But yeah.......we know that the entire cosmos was smaller than an atom. we KNOW that one for sure.
Kytten9 wrote on Sat, 22 October 2005 21:18 you copied me coz im older than you ha! Can't argue with that logic. Well, I could, but I'm sick, so I'm out of my current state of mind... Where was I?

I heard about that on Conan and the next day i woke up......f*cked up.
What are the symptoms? I have alittle medical know-how, so I might be able to tell what you've got. I think mine is just sinus problems. Well, short of wanting to puke 90% of the time, and feeling bad the other 10%. I took some medicine that really helped. Cleared my nasal passages, I didn't want to puke as often, and I fell asleep for about five and a half hours.
JPNOD wrote on Sat, 22 October 2005 06:47 I would go back in time to 1918 when hitler was still a student then give him a hand shake and take him into oblivion I would go back in 1918 and bitch slap hilter!

Wow, i love Physics, glad i took it at A level. Also this makes me think about traveling further through time. Would it mean that you have to go in some way, slower than time itself? Isn't it that you can't travel at the speed of light, but you can travel faster than the speed of light? At c your mass becomes infinite, and you would need an infinite amount of energy to move. But this is not true when you exceed the speed of light. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, it's been well over a year since I've been in physics...
But to go faster than the speed of light you must go the speed of light. You can't jump from 0 to faster than the speed of light instantly. Therefore, it'd be impossible.
i'd go back to a lil past ww2 and tell stalin to feed the people...maybe that would change his quote..."the death of one is a tradegy, but the death of thousands is a slap by belski" or something like that
I'd go back to the night my parents had sex to have me, and I'd smack my dad on the ass and say I'M FROM THE FUTURE I'M YOUR SON AAAAHAHAHAHAHA!! -Dane Cook
How do you know it was at night and you weren't a morning product? D:
I'd go back in time and Crucify Jesus. Just kidding. I'd go back in time an hour and have that meal again. Getting hungry. Or maybe to before I'd read all the books I've read now, so I can read them all for the first time.
Yea I changed my mind on what I said, without the nazi's or some of hitlers hencemen/technician there wouldn't have been none space travel, maybe non atomic bomb. If he wouldn't have existed ofcourse there's so many people that have died. But war increases the speed of technolegy being introduced and produced. Just saying if that would of hapend history would have changed so fucking drasticly. I just said it because of ra1 Really, I'm happy the way it is now there's certain times in my life I dislike and would want to scrap. But im still young and I have experienced many thing's and I've seen alot of things people of my age normally wouldn't.
JPNOD wrote on Sat, 22 October 2005 09:47 I would go back in time to 1918 when hitler was still a student then give him a hand shake and take him into oblivion I go back to about that time too. I would see JPNOD as he's about to kill Hitler, kill him, and become good friends with Hitler. Then, I would make sure he doesn't declare war on the US.
Again, read what Clare and I had said. By doing that, you'd be erasing me, Clare, etc... from history.

I would see JPNOD as he's about to kill Hitler, kill him, and become good friends with Hitler. Then, I would make sure he doesn't declare war on the US. I think it was the other way around. For some reason i think it had to do with them shooting down a Civy boat and killing like 30 people. I maybe way off on this, hell i might be thinking of a sponge bob episode or something.
I'm not really sure, I just heard that Hitler declared war on the US. So I guess I will poke Jake until he sends his knowledge down to us.
Japan and Germany (along with Italy) signed a pact where they created the Axis powers. Once Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, we declared war on Japan, Germany declared war on us. Edit: Oblivion, you're thinking of WWI and the Lusitania.
<3 The Axis Powers. (That I knew.) =D
Yes, Pearl Harbor was the reason the USA entered the war..... There is a conspiracy theory that the US government knew about it...and used it as a reason to enter WWII and that the fact all the aircraft carriers were well away from Pearl Harbor at the time (for "no apparent" reason) is part of the foundation for the theory....
Yeah, I watched something on the History Channel about it. The Japanese broke radio silence, we got the transmissions, decoded them, but did nothing about it. The obvious reason for that would be that they wanted it to happen, so we could enter the war. Though, that's not known for sure.
If I could go back I would kill Hitler and Osama (to hell with Saddam) But if I went forward I would go to the year 2070 (I would be bout' 85) just to see what technology will be like before I die.
you really dont get what a paradox is do you? If you killed Hitler, you yourself MAY NOT EXSIST today....yes some races and families were brought together because of WWII, but one thing that accompanied BOTH great wars was: A BABY BOOM...people rushed things and eloped because there was a fear that it would all be over tomorrow. So in killing Hitler YOU YOURSELF may not be created afterwards. To better explain this: You create a time machine, go back in time and kill your own grandfather...so no parent to spawn you, so no you, so no time machine was made, so your grandfather didnt die, you were born, made the time machine, killed your grandfather, no parent, no you, no time machine....It goes on....that is a paradox!
If I got to do that, we'd all be speaking Russian now... Or at least all have a hammer and a sickle on our flags... Nah, just kidding: communism was good (but executed incorrectly) but as usual it cannot lead to a great bunch of welfare so I think most people (including me) wouldn't have liked it so much. The google-idea seems logical to me... Makes me think of that movie I once saw.
so why has nobody gone to the future to get the powerball numbers? 1st thing that came up...
Nemesis wrote on Mon, 24 October 2005 04:27 so why has nobody gone to the future to get the powerball numbers? 1st thing that came up... YOU have been playing RPG's too much....
One theory is that we won't be able to go back in time until the first time machine is created and that when, or if, it is created we will only be able to go back in time to that point the time machine was created. If you can understand. I got it from the Discovery Science channel.
You guys gotta stop changing this topic up. I made this topic just for fun not to get all technical with physics and crap. I just want to know what you would do if this was posible and that if you were to create a suicide paradox in which you would not have been able to actualy have gone back in time that it wouldnt not have let you. I'm basing this on the multiverse theory in which that if you did go back in time and changed something that it would create a new universe and have no effect on the world that you came from. I hope that this makes sence to you and that you will stop disscusing time travel physics and why or why is it not posible. My other topic is for that. http://www.renegadeforums.com/index.php?t=msg&th=6635&am p;start=0&rid=736
I, my friend, would buy the lottery tickets from last weeks super 7 (55 mill or sumthin like that) and go back in time, play thosenumbers, and retire No, i wouldnt do ne thing else. Cept maybe do it for my son to get him rich

I'd find out the lottery results before-hand every week for a few years and buy out microsoft. Also, I'd buy out EA and sort it out.
If I could go back in time .... '67 Baby! Summer of Love Then I'd stay until '69. Woodstock I'd have to take my girlfriend with me though. She'd love it as much as I would

Yeah, happy birthday in advance. I'll probly still be sick in two weeks. I always get this one level of sickness at the start of Winter, and it usually doesn't end until Winter ends. Frickan sucks.
If I had time machine I would 1. go back to year 0 and see if Jesus really existed 2. go back in time and prevent EA from buying Westwood by any means possible 3. Go to the time after world war 2 and make sure that USA controls the whole Europe(not just the west part), so that my former Country will have as good economy as for example France.

Use my ability to travel freely through space and be on the moon when america lands there so i can freek them out. 5. Sign my name on the declaration of independence. 6. Warn westwood about everything (even about world desasters) and make sure they live to become realy really good. 7. Have Fun

If you read the first post you would have found out that this would be imposible well, in this little time travel fantasy anyway. This is all on the assumption that by changing the past you create a new universe from which exists from that event of which you changed. Therefore you wouldn't have changed anything from the universe that you came from. Hence no time paradox. But thanks for posting!

I would go back in time to watch Adam and Eve make out.
I would go back and register all the a00000001 names.
I would go back in time and try to find ways to save the lives of my family and friends that I have lost. I would go forward in time to see what the future is like and come back and try to help everyone avoid anything bad that happens.
