If you could go back in time for a few days, when and where would you go?

this is arse

knird evol

jackiebaron

I'd write down last weekend's lottery numbers then pop back to Last friday and buy a ticket.

Mongarra

Straight into the bookies with the next day's racing results.

Chicago, May the 12th 2008....

...I'd drink slightly less whiskey and enjoy the company of those 2 sluts a hell of a lot more...

Back to last day of secondary school so I would try harder to shaft my french teacher.

You know there's no shortage of drugs and warehouse parties now right?

twinytwo

I'd go to a few days ago.
Then i'd catch up with now, go back in time the same again.
Repeat to infinity - live forever!

I'd make a movie about you and call it Groundhog Day or something like that.

Some of things I'd like to go back and see..........

- be on the Titanic
- be at the assasination of JFK
- 1916 Rising
- Coluseum- Roman empire time

Sam Vimes

I'd go back to 1955 and make sure that my parents got together at the Enchantment Under the Sea dance.

Oh and warn myself about the Parkinson's

The act of you going back in time would change the result

How?

I know this is a pointless debate but just curious how that could possibly be the case?

The act of you travelling back to buy your ticket changes that time-line. Therefore it is very possible that your presence in the past even for a short time causes a massive change in the future in that time-line. Thus changing the lotto result numbers.
The butterfly effect if you will.

Note that the lotto numbers might change or they might not but is not as sure of a thing as you think.

FUTURE CONTINGENTS ARE ON THE INTERNET NOW?? WHERE WILL I BE SAFE?
It depends on your philosophical view of determinism, there's 3 possible ways this could work:

1. The world is free and random, which means even if you go back and do the numbers again without changing anything, they'll be different numbers as they are a matter of chance, so every time you draw them (even if in the past), the result will be equally random.

2. Soft determinism: Everything in the world is determined by something, but not everything is linked, meaning you can change stuff, but that will only change the things in the future directly relating to that, so writing down the numbers and going back will not change the result of the numbers, as long as you leave alone the particular sequence of events which pertains to the balls coming out of the drum.

3. Hard determinism: The above view.

There's others but I'm hung over.

Personally I'd learn how to play a load of hendrix songs, go back to before he composed half of them, and befriend him via my massive songwriting genius, all so I can drop a **** load of acid and jam at woodstock.

Either that or go back to last sunday and have that really good **** again. That was a deadly ****.

I've always had a fascination with the Titanic, I'm not saying that i'd like to drown or anything:D But I'd like to have seen what it looked like, what the people were like, what the experience before, during and after the sinking was like!

I imagine your username would be appropriate in the latter case.

One choice ? hmmm....

Dealy Plazza Dallas , November 22 1963 .So I can see if there really was a shoooter behind that picket fence

But with benefit of hindsight , this would only affect the dynamics of history ,the molecules of the universe and probably knock the earth of it's axis :pac:

You can just bring your jetpack along with you, so when it is about to sink you can fly off into the distance.

As a bonus you wouldn't have any problems getting tickets as the bandwagoners were still off doing something else.

Even Brazil couldn't draw a crowd in 1987!

OP I think you went back to last week and read my mind because I was going to post a similar question but never got around to it.

Anyway If i could go back in time I'd take with me some stockings and suspenders and I'd use them to strangle the ****er who invented tights before he invented them there for making a world a much sexier place.

Ild like to go back to Ireland when the evil British ruled us to see what life was like in an Ireland of wasted lives, unemployment, anger at the goverment and the frustration of the masses. Thank God we are now independent.

That didnt seem to help us much did it? What your describing above is what I see on the streets every day.

I would love to go back to with the Doc to 1995 to see some Oasis live gig!!

hoorsmelt

I'd go back to 1997 with a copy of the papers from November 10th-17th last year, and tell them not to vote FF to avoid the IMF and everything else.

MistyCheese

If I could go back in time, I'd go to Thursday 3rd of May 2007. I'd hotfoot it to a little holiday apartment in Praia da Luz.

Also.

I'm not sure myself but I remember asking my sister one time and she said, ''France, court of Louis XIV''. Sounds so exclusive, relaxing, etc.

Unpossible

If I'm aloud change things then maybe back to stop Bryan Boru being killed, or stop Dermot MacMurrough before he befriends the normans.

Hell maybe go back to an earlier time and teach the Irish proper military tactics and show them how to make effective weaponry and armour, then we will rule the Irish Isles

Chillywilly ticks "Experience titanic" on his list as it sinks. Proceeds to dress as a woman and shove his way to the lifeboats.
