A better time machine question

Chancer3001

Ok, so you're allowed use a time machine 3 times. (Well say they're return journeys). Well see you can't use it for financial gain cos otherwise we'd all pick that!

What would you use it for?

Me,

1 - back 180 million years ago to have a look at dinosaurs. See what they looked like.

2- research when Jesus lived and go back for a look there. See what he was like.

3- go 35 years into the future to where I'm 65, see if I have any major regrets or if I've been killed or anything

I already answered this questions five years from now.

What did you say then?

keithclancy

I'd use it in combination my faster than light drive to be able to travel anywhere in the universe and not have to come back to loved ones that died millions of years ago.

CINCLANTFLT

1. Dallas 1963... Who shot JFK... Probably Oswald, but anyway...

2. Late 1960s for some of that pre-AIDS free love... NYC or London I guess

3. 2060... Get data on finance markets and sports... Or a data dump from wikipedia... Return to 2014 and use data to make $$$$$

What if ghosts are actually our future selves trying to connect us through time and space.

Arsemageddon

I'd go back to 2003 and convince myself not buy that ba$tard Renault

I think that going back in time, say back to the 80's or whatever would actually cause a mental breakdown for a lot of people.

Not that it's likely to happen of course.

I've been to the year 3000.

Nah, it's the grey aliens that are a more evolved us from the future that come back in time to mess with us.

Jeju

I would go back one hour and go to bed cos I have to be up really early in the morning.

Oh the same thing all humans say say in 2019


"ALL HAIL ANTS, OUR BENEVOLENT OVERLORDS"

In conjunction with reverse vampires.

Future time travel is possible. Past time travel not really.

I'd go back to 1922 to find out who shot Michael Collins
Lourdes in 1858, and watch St. Bernadette have her visions.

blindside88

What a lot of people forget about time travel is you stay in the same place so anyone travelling back in time to meet Jesus would have a serious job getting to Jerusalem once they travelled back so if you do get a time machine maybe take a flight before using it.

My choices would be:

1) go to thomond park and go back and watch munster beat the all blacks

2) study the financial markets in detail and then go back in time and make my family rich (while looking like a great lad)

3) keep the 3rd for later because I'm bound to do something properly stupid in the future

stimpson

I'd go back to 22:37 and kill the OP therefore creating a paradox and the plot to a rather dull sci-fi novel.

OP just said it! How can you think about using a time machine when you can't read a post.

Me and my time machine trips

1 = See my parents as children. Just curious.

2 = Forward couple hundred years to see did we make an absolute balls of the planet re natural resources and global warming issues.

3 = To that day when Girl A asked me did I like Girl B and I said no. Would definitely change that

nc19

For me it would be


Have a look at the dinosaurs

Watch jebus turn water into wine (have a feeling that will be a wasted trip)

Go 2000 yrs into the future and see how we're doing

Adamantium

1. Follow Biggins mad breadcrumb trail as he leapt through space and time. He's got to be out there somewhere but more importantly...when? Why are doth forsaken us?

2. Bring Facekicker as my super sexy awesome accomplice along for the ride to do the prerequisite facekicking one encounters on such a pioneering leap into the unknown

3. Return to Personal Issues just in time to delete all our PTSD stories.

Tell us something, are they still marching over water?

Chancer3001

I like how everybody has answered the question.

The Backwards Man

I'd steal the plans for the machine and go back five years and make twenty of them

Karl Stein

I would travel to the future to play the lotto. It's probably going to be worth way more then.

Nah, they all live under it.

The other fella

1. Back to roman times for one of those food gorging and orgy parties they used to have.

2.California in th 60's for those free loving acid fuelled hippie orgys.

3.Any other time era there was orgy culture somewhere.

Id go back to 1921 and warn Micheal Collins that that evil bas,tard Dev was planning to have him shot because he was miserable jeolous corrupt American c,unt. Then I would have Dev shot:)

I would go to the future maybe 1000years from now see are humans still around have we evoloved much and did we invent a way of travelling to other planets and star systems. I would then go either back a few hundred years or maybe double that years or go forward by that amount dependinng on when I think I would like to live. I would like to think it would be maybe the 25th or 26th century that we would have spaceships with faster than light or folding space capabilities. I would stay there and train to eventually become a Captain of my own ship and the explore the galaxy or even maybe universe and have many exciting adventures along the way:)

Correction: As with all time machines, traveling into the future is not possible.
