Question

Though time travel isn't possible to the past, suppose it was and you wanted to change a part of history, which would you choose to change and what change would you make or delete from history in the future?

Answer 1

Since I wouldn't want to mess things up too much, or really change the course of the world, I would change something very small.

I would go to the Titanic, and ask to speak with Capt. EJ Smith. I would explain to him the need to pay closer attention to the telegrams they were receiving that said they were entering an ice field. I would also tell him to tell Bruce Ismay to stick to drinking expensive wine and leave the decisions about speed, etc., up to him. Hopefully, the Titanic wouldn't hit the iceberg and sink.

Realistically, however, even that small change would have a major impact. Much of the safety regulations we have now for ships came about because of that tragedy. Without a good solid warning about what happens when there aren't enough life boats, the inevitable would just be postponed. Some other liner would get in trouble later, and there would be tremendous loss of life because of inadequate life boats, so it would all even out in the end.

Answer 2

Speculatively speaking . . . mutually as as we communicate's the purely spectacular results of all that has happened interior the previous, changing some activities then could not likely exchange as we communicate extraordinarily. as an occasion, if I went returned a week in the past and offered the final concern of a mag you have been approximately to purchase, you will not have study that mag then and you will not have the understanding you have now. How would not understanding JaLo's present day status influence your postings as we communicate? on the different hand, my changing your timeline could advise you may bypass to a distinctive keep, purchase the mag , and influence somebody elses timeline. The influence could ripple by way of time like waves on a pond, yet returned, how could that alter something of your week? Now, you ought to bypass returned and alter considerable experience in an attempt to make issues "better." yet you're assuming that issues are "undesirable" purely becasue of that one experience. in case you stopped the German Holocaust, as an occasion, there is assorted information that France could have executed the comparable element. in case you killed Hitler and stopped WW2, then there could be no GI bill allowing an entire era of low income adult males and ladies to bypass to college, basically changing the social and political panorama of the Sixties and previous. Segregation could proceed for yet another era halting the form of a entire human beings. what's the "better" result? history is like an avalanche. you may bypass returned and alter the direction of a few rocks, possibly save a house, however the person-friendly activities will nonetheless proceed. study "Sound of Thunder" by using Ray Bradbury, or watch the unique movie "The Butterfly influence." the two have an exciting take on your question.

Answer 3

You wouldn't change a thing if you went back into time, the consequence of messing with the space-time continuum would be catastrophic. Consider the following:

If you could go back into time and were able to kill Hitler when he was a baby, would you do it? You wouldn't dare kill him.....Consider the possible consequence.

You kill Hitler as a young child, years later, say 1933, Ernst Roehm instead becomes dictator, in mid 1930s, HE decides to begin 'heavy water' experiments which lead to the first nuclear bomb built in 1939.

With that device, he easiliy defeats mother russia and the allies, and the Final Solution is 'completed.' Your mistep in the space time continuum caused the death of ALL European Jewry and enslavement of half the planet...way to go!....

Answer 4

I'd like to say, stop wars, or evacuate to twin towers sooner, but i can't. Every thing happens for a reason. I'm not God, something worse would happen.

Answer 5

stop Gavrilo Princip from shooting and killing Archduke Franz Ferdinand

if doing this it would have prevented WWI and prevent Hitler from coming into power and prevent a WWII
