You have access to a time travel machine...?

Question

what time period (past or future) would you want to visit? why would you pick that period of time?

Answer 1

Well, I might want to travel forward to pick up next year's Wall Street Journal, but I think I would rather like to go back to try to find such folks as Moses, Noah, or Jesus.

One thing I know of technology, things are so complex and getting more so every day, that I doubt I could remember enough or find enough of what I needed to make the future's technology today. They could be filling the empty spaces of our brains with nano-sized computers and common data banks, all of which would be far beyond the simple motors, pumps, and circuits todays nanotech works with. They could have energy sources with things simply beyond our reach today--like maybe mining space for dark matter to produce dark energy to use in useful ways--we just surmise there is such, we haven't a clue as to what it looks like or how it works, much less how we are going to go fetch it.

Naw, just get me the next year or two's Wall Street Journal and I'll get by. If my faith is true, I'll talk to the Bible personalities in due time when I die (and if not, it wouldn't matter, would it?).

Answer 2

My own time period has been SO full & interesting- I don't think I would even use a Time Machine (if there were such a thing)- for fear of missing out on something going on now! I mean, -is there any real point in trading one time period for another? And then there's the matter of coping with visiting a different era. Most of us barely understand what's going on around us NOW. -Would traveling to another Time be any less confusing? It's one thing to be curious about the future or past, but it would be something else again to go there & try to figure out what the heck was going on- in the context of the limited understanding that we'd bring with us.

Answer 3

I'd go back to the moment the Time Machine was invented (not just the prototype, the one that actually works) and add another option to it so that i could "beam up" influential people from each date I'd visited then take them back to the Last Supper and have what's-his-name draw a whole new painting. Wow, that would really screw up the future then wouldn't it?

Answer 4

I would go into the distant future when technology is highly advanced, go to school there and learn all about the future technology so I could come back and take over the world with my superior mind and futuristic weapons technology. mwhahahahahahaha... or I'd just open up my own company selling flying cars that I learned how to make in the future... lol.

Answer 5

I would want to travel to the 1960s. It seemed like it would be a pretty cool time to grow up and be a teenager. Drive-in movies, big poofy poodle skirts, diners with the roller skating girls...it just seems like a fun time to grow up in general. I would love to be a 16 year old growing up in the 60s.

Answer 6

I already know the past so I would love to see the future. I would want to go ahead 100 years to see if anything is left of the world. Have we blown ourselves up or has Jesus already saved us.

Answer 7

It is always better to go back to the fast rather than go to the future.

Go to the pas5,and you can brag about the future because you know what will happen. If you go to the future, you will feel very stupid or outdated

Answer 8

I would want to try out the future, like 100 years from now just to see if we as humans have gotten any better or worse.

Answer 9

Past. I wanna see what life was like in the 60's when groupies were stoned all the time at concerts

Answer 10

I would like to see the pre-Civil war era in the South--like around 1840-1850---wearing the big hoop skirts and doing all those silly etiquette things I think it would be neat.
