If you had a time machine

Think of the possibilities...and chaos. You could change so many choices, so many mistakes. Just think...
Though I'm just quite sure what I would do if I had one. I would be in shock for a while I guess.

Why don't you build one? All you need is to create a wormhole.

I can't do that though. No one can. I think.
Besides, I'm too lazy to.

Feh. Only the laws of physics stand before you, grasshoppa'. And we ain't done no Law school, eh?

The laws of physics permit wormholes, actually. In theory, at least; doesn't mean they're easy to create.


If I had a time machine, I'd go back and visit every single person who has ever claimed to have created one or publicly "proven" that it can't be done to laugh at them.

Going into the future. Just do a circuit of the solar system at lightspeed. Need a blackhole or such to go back in time.

I would go to ancient Egypt. Or Greece. Hmm . . .

And meet Nikola Tesla!

My Brother had a good idea:
To go back in time you would need to go into the future, grab a time machine, and then go back in time.

The only problem with this however is: how are you going to go into the future if you dont have a time machine to begin with? <_<

That wouldn't work anyway; if someone invents a genuine time machine then by definition it's invented concurrently at every point in time. Tenses get VERY confusing with time travel. See the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, especially the Campaign for Real Time.

I'd go to the future, just to see what it's like. If there's anything new, or people are still as bad as ever.

what would happen if you went too far into the future or the past?
you'd probably die in the big bang or something

In some theories I know you can't before the time machine was built, this would stop the issue of travelling back before the Big Bang

Shame. Who was it that said "The past is another country"? I'd like to visit as many as possible.

I'd be so scared to go back in time. Knowing me, I'd probably screw something up. :hmm:

Hmm, I'd probably visit Jesus.

Scary maybe, but interesting, novel and probably fascinating. Something where you don't know what to expect.

I'd
One: Straighten my stupid mistakes from the past
Two: Stop Global Warming
Three: Go see the roots behind religions and stop all the religious wars.
A bit moral, but that's what I would do first thing before the machine breaks down.
And I'm not including if I did have a time machine, so would every point in time, ignoring the restrictions of science and any ethical problems. Just...curious. And bored.

I wouldn't change the mistakes I made earlier, nor the way my life has turned out. Some of the things that have happened, I've hated. But I wouldn't be me if life had been any other way.

But if you change history then you might not exist in the present and would therefore not have had the chance to travel back in time in the first place.

Paradox... fun. You'd have to know you're history pretty well to even think about adjusting anything. And we wouldn't have tackled Global Warming back in the '60s, not enough people believed it to be a bad thing; they just thought it a myth.

Ahem, yes well I'm not including that, but that is all true...
And yes, I wouldn't change all my mistakes, I did think that if I changed all my mistakes, I would make them again some other time.
