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.
Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

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.
whoa.

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.

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.

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'm the bawss.

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?

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.
