if i could time travel i'd...

[TheKurt009]

if you could time travel what would you do???
if i could time travel i'd show Bill Gates Windows 7, and other things he will make in the future.
or that crappy Planet of The Apes in the past and show them the 2011 Planet of The Apes version

 

[Ironside]

I'd go back in time to tell my own self certain things.

 

[frostloh]

Avert a certain embarrassing situation that haunts me till this day... ( don't ask )

 

[Tyranid]

Avert a certain embarrassing situation that haunts me till this day... ( don't ask )

Do tell us more of this situation.

 

[HFR]

I'd go back to medieval times, grab a chunk of meat and quickly die of infection. Not after trying to talk with the english king and discovering he speaks a strange kind of french.

 

[Arcisal]

I'd bring back a mint edition of Spiderman No.1

 

[Tleno]

I'd make sure Lauren Faust and Justin Bieber would die in a car accident.

 

[Magtheridon96]

I'd go back to medieval times and troll 'philosophers' with these ideas:
- Nuclear Bombs
- Quantum Mechanical Atomic Model
- Planes
- Walking on the moon
- Computers
- Neurological systems

And I'd go to a church and tell them: "I am Satan's minion! You will all burn in hell demons!"

And I'll go back to my own time to escape

Then I'll go back and introduce the Arabs to nuclear weapons:

Oh and then, I'll go to 1492 and troll Christopher Columbus. He'll be like 'I discovered America!' and I'll say 'I was here first /b/ro'

Then he'll be like:

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

@Tleno That would only place someone else in charge, not really the end.

I'd go back to 9 years ago from now to fix some mistakes

 

[Sorvaltis]

I'd make sure Lauren Faust and Justin Bieber would die in a car accident.

The World would be such a better place

I'd travel to year 1948 and ask Oppeheimer about that great goulas recipe,which he got from visit at Einstein's

 

[Joe-black-5]

I'd make sure Lauren Faust and Justin Bieber would die in a car accident.

that hitler guy and some others? pfffffffffffffff! nah!
screw that! like get some young entertainer and a cartoon artist!

 

[-Peper-]

I'll steal some inventions in the past then publicate them as my creations. Or warns the Past-me before he does a mistake.
I would be happy to make and sing some song in the past before even the author made them, then made albums, and my name would be everywhere.

 

[Joe-black-5]

I think there is an old thread like this one, I'll look it up tomorrow for a merge.

 

[-Derp-]

Kill my grandparents and watch as the world explodes.

 

[Jaret]

I'd go back in time and prevent some things from happening...
I'd go back in time with my present-knowledge and make the world develop faster. And to make a name for myself.

I'd make sure Lauren Faust and Justin Bieber would die in a car accident.

If you did that, i'd go back in time and kill your ancestors to make sure that Lauren Faust never died. I'd also go forward in time (From that moment) and kill JB myself.

...Maybe i'd go back in time more, take Tommy Wiseau with me and make him act in the Godfather. Such talent should not be wasted on some puny internet shows.

 

[Orcnet]

I'd make sure Lauren Faust and Justin Bieber would die in a car accident.

Kill the Boy! not the Gerl

 

[Ken-E]

I'd give cavemen nuclear weapons and guns. And sits back to watch them kill each other.

 

[Joe-black-5]

I'd give cavemen nuclear weapons and guns. And sits back to watch them kill each other.

I'd like to see you get your hands on a nuclear weapon in this time period.

 

[Tleno]

Yea, you should rather send the cavemen to present. And then give them modern weapons!

... And then, send them after Lauren Faust >

 

[Rui]

I'd go back in time to tell my own self certain things.

Your old self would need to feel and know, not listen. And children have a hard time understanding grown-ups stuff and/or, much like people overall, feeling words.
So, if by going back in time it meant going back to my former self, yes, I'd probably do many things differently, assuming I'd retain my present knowledge.

 

[Latecat]

I'd go back in time and tell myself that i'll figure a way to travel through time on day <undefined>, though that can never work.

why? because otherwise it would probably happened by now.

 

[PROXY]

I'd tell my dad I'm his unborn son. muahahaha.

 

[Narrat0r]

I would go to the future where everyone has free giant robots to ride.
Or just go to Japan now, same thing.

 

[Kno_Mad]

go chat to a few Neanderthals... see how the Mammoth hunting is going??!


i would NOT go to the future...EVER. well, at least not with the way that i imagine time travel. for all you know the world is a wasteland and you arrive in a radiation fallout zone, or the planet's orbital path changed and you arrive in outer-space. that would suck...

Or you could arrive half-embedded in a rockrete wall or something.

Exactly!! donno if you have seen Basalisk, but I dont have Kasumi Gyobu's powers and I don't know anyone who does!

 

[Magtheridon96]

Here's an idea: Plan to build a time machine in the future and vow that you will go back to the past (a specific date) and watch your future self emerging from some rip in space-time in your own room in the present ;D
It doesn't work though :c

I'd like to see you get your hands on a nuclear weapon in this time period

$1.01 Store in Iran =P

wow, mind-fugger??!

 

[HFR]

Also, it's worth of note that going back in time to kill someone before he's born, eh let's say... Kaiser Wilhelm, would create a paradox, as the reason you went back in time to kill him is gone as he didn't even exist in the timeline you live.




Or something like that, I missed Time Travel classes.

 

[Magtheridon96]

That's true HFR.

But, what if you go back in time for NO reason, and then you just happened to kill someone

 

[Gilles]

I don't think I would time travel. If movies taught me anything, it's don't fuck with time.

 

[Tleno]

True, but if movies taught me something else, all the time mess-ups can be fixed.

I still don't get what happened in the Price of Persia Movie. The princess was pretty clear, if the dagger is inserted into the sand-glass and the button pressed, in infinite loop will be created and then: DEATH

However, it happens and then he is transported back to just after the fight?!

it would seem that the pen is mightier than the sword!

 

[Tleno]

It appears the universe has some infinite-loop preventing mechanism that reverts the time back to the moment just after the fight.

A Hollywood movie with a giant plot hole?! How preposterous.

Dustan opens the dagger while it's in the crystal (or whatever it was) reverting time back to just after the siege. The energy was never fully released. That's what I remember anyways.

 

[Crazed_seal2]

I personally don't think time can be re written. Whatever happens is Fixed. If you go back in time, the timeline already has you printed for that. Whatever actions you do is what your supposed to do. If I went back in time and killed dinosaurs with a laser gun, the world would be the same, since I was supposed to go back in time and kill them with my laser gun. That is my theory

 

[Kno_Mad]

hehe, or the princess is a liar... bitch

anyway, I reconsidered what I'd do with time travel. I'd go see if Erich von Dainekken has any merit with all his ancient aliens theories...

A Hollywood movie with a giant plot hole?! How preposterous.

lol!

 

[Sky Green]

I would go to the past, and ride my bike infront of neanderthals...

 

[OmNomNom]

I will go to the past and kill Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Then everybody will get a life.

 

[Tleno]

Can't you just create a super-emp field to fry all electronics on a planet instead? That would be soooo cheaper than time travel.

 

[Magtheridon96]

I will go to the past and kill Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Then everybody will get a life.

Life? What's that?
I've never heard of this before.. Does it taste good?

 

[Direfury]

I would've had L. Ron Hubbard admitted to an asylum at the first opportunity.

There's only room for one super-cult these days, and I think I'd rather deal with the bible thumpers, as opposed to an army of lawyers and con artists.

 

[HFR]

Now that you said that, I remembered the ending of the Day the Earth Stood Still remake, where they do the same thing. The movie *tries* to make that seems good and all, but I couldn't stop wondering about all the people on life support units, using pacemakers or inside elevators.

But the most affected surely would be the Prius drivers.

 

[PROXY]

Nah, you can only travel into the future, if you can travel at all.

Travelling into the past is impossible, as it would already had happened at the time you want to travel back.

So anything you changed back than, would be already changed, so uh jeah. It would fuck up reality

 

[MGCǂSpectre]

^ I think so too, if space can be warped and such thing could be possible who knows, that would allow you to shorten distances, I have no idea how you would have a time loss/time passed as if you traveled the long way, but that's how I see it. I dont think going back to the past or the future in the way movies show is really possible... Wait it isn't even the wildest theories of warping space cannot suggest a logical theory of this being possible, so screw that.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Particles that travel faster than the speed of light apparently exist now, thus who knows when time travel will become possible.

All it needs is for one to be able to reverse the direction of the rate of change of time (a time speed at a galactic level). One can see that this would probably be classed as a new doomsday device for the reason of if it fails...

 

[Rui]

Tachyon^^ Involves a lot of concepts that I do not know, but still interesting to see that scientists like Einstein did put the possibility.

 

[noob]

Tachyon is very complex same with wikipedia i think i will never understand

 

[Kno_Mad]

erm...

{from Wikipedia} A tachyon ( /ˈtæki.ɒn/) is a hypothetical subatomic particle that always moves faster than light. In the language of special relativity, a tachyon would be a particle with space-like four-momentum and imaginary proper time.

okay, so as obvious as this is going to sound... make sure you understand what it says: until we can prove it's existence, we cannot confirm it exists; until we can disprove its existence we can not confirm that it does not. (mathematically or otherwise) as such, this theoretical particle is just that, a theory... something a human brain conceptualised and gave meaning to.

 

[-Derp-]

The only problem with Tachyons and time travel via moving faster than light is the time it takes for something to accelerate faster than light speed without killing a human, and avoiding colliding with other objects in space. Also, if time travel is somehow possible, it is almost guaranteed to not be available to the public, as if one were to take a ship, move it faster than the speed of light, and crash it into something, the damage would be utterly disastrous.

If we were somehow able to convert humans into Tachyons and then re-convert them into humans, then this would be a somewhat practical way of 'traveling time.'

With that note, I'd like to bring up the Multiverse Theory, for those interested in the time travel subject.
