If you had a time machine.........?

Question

If you had a time machine and could go either backwards or forwards in time (without changing anything, but just to observe) what events or time periods would you visit?

Answer 1

Just observe? Damn. I would go back to when Jesus was doing his thing and find out the real truth about what he was saying instead of having to rely on countless interpretations of what he said.

Answer 2

What if you knew then what you know now?
And what if you knew now what you wish you knew then?
That's what I ask you

If I hade a time machine I'd go back in a flash
Tell myself you ain't nuthin but a thing of the past
So let's go, ain't got no time for none of ya'll to borrow
Why not? Cuz today is yesterday's tomorrow
A wise man once told me life is what you make it
Bare witness to the lies simply cuz the truth is naked
My thoughts are sacred yet I share with the masses
I intend to be around when tha barrier collapses
It's dust to dust and ashes to ashes
Those that come up quick tend to be falling the fastest
On the cash-route, but for the paper they get lost
Not I, I rather let nature take it's course
The reality is harsh but it's gotta be accepted
Your fate has been determined, outcome is pre-selected
No telling when your breath's stoppin', and death's knockin
To enjoy every second is your best option
Treat every first time like it was your last
I wish I cud somehow go and revisit the past
Correct any mistakes, maybe right a few wrongs
I'd hit the studio just to write a few songs
For the sake of argument let's say I did find a way
And was capable of goin back to any time or day
Like September 11th, then I'd have the chance to
Beg and pleed until every last flight was canceled
Go further back to clean more than smoke
Warn 'em to keep a close eye on the floor of the votes
I'd tell Martin and Malcolm how I respect they passion
To see change in justice, watch for the assasins
Meetin' Bruce would be history itself
Maybe study Martial Arts with Mr. Lee himself
I'd tell Biggie to run the lights, don't stop son
And Pac, somethin ain't right, don't ride shotgun
The good die young, we all know, but how come?
And since we know why we can't change the outcome?
I try to make a difference, but reality remains
That the script's been written, so my efforts are in vain
What about my future and the road that lies ahead
Should I take a glimpse or be surprised instead?
Think I'll sneak a peak, I see a wall full of Plaques
No more gimmicks, critics say i'm more skilled, in fact
Hate to say I told you so, but honestly speekin
Finally got the respect I'm constantly seekin
After the aclaim think I'll settle down
One wife, two kids, I'm out the ghetto now
I'm lieing to myself, my life's a complete waste
A bitter-sweet sorrow, that's just how defeat tastes
A has-been, forgotten, I'm yesterday's news
No longer relevant, "Slim" was expected to loose
Can't see that is my destiny so I'm lookin past
My twenty-twenty vision blured through the lookin glass
At last I choose to walk a path of my own
I've com this far but the other half is unknown

Answer 3

the first thing i would do is go forward in time and find out all the lotto numbers for the next week and then go to the week after and find some big gaining shares then i would travel further to the future and see whether or not the polar ice caps melt and flood the world if so i would buy a really large boat but i would not really won't to visit any major events in history if i couldn't take part in it

Answer 4

I'd go be a Viking and get me a longship.
I'd fit in really well in that culture and I totally wouldn't mind if the time machine only worked once and then broke beyond any hope of repair.
The only thing I'd miss from modern times would be my music. And I'd bring my mp3 player and an endless stock of batteries with me so I'd be ok.

Answer 5

if i had a time machine i would go to the past and save all the people who died in 9/11 and 7/11 ...and then i would look for the future

Answer 6

I would not go forward because then if the future stinks it will ruin my present. I would really like to travel into the past and see myself as a 3-8 year old, and I would like to meet my mom, dad, and step dad when they were kids.

Answer 7

I would like to go back to the United States area around 1200. Just to see how the native americans truly lived.

Answer 8

I would go back to the era of King Arthur and the knights of the round table. I love the women's clothing and I've always wondered if they ever got super hot in what they had to wear then.

Answer 9

Since I can't change anything that happened I think I would like to go back to watch Stonehenge be built. At last, someone would know who did it and why.
There are other times that I would go to if I could change them.

Answer 10

Back to 1492 and see Columbus land in America
