If you could travel back in time; Where?

[Jayfeather]

They offered to transport me back to
Any point in history that I would care to go
And so I had them send me back to last Thursday night
So I could pay my phone bill on time

Somewhere nice in Italy during some favorable time in The Renaissance.

sounds like a thursday night

Yes please I would like to redo High School, thank you.

 

[Toiletprincess]

I have a few ideas.

My first thought was; hey, I'd like the go back in time to all the major wars and help out the injured.

My second; To the opening of theones, it'd be cool to be that old of a player here.

I'd go back to Dec. 31st 1999 and watch the world celebration of 2000 begin in Chatham Islands, New Zealand.

Oh and of course I'd go back to 31/12/99 just for you. <3

 

[lilzeppy]

Woodstock would be nice.

Or 1920s England, sorta where Downton Abbey takes place.


...Not that I watch Downton Abbey...

I would also go back to the announcement of portal 2, and bet $1000000000000

You should go back to when they created Narbacular Drop and invest in them instead.

This is a tough one for me, as I have done a craptonne of stupid things! I would think over which was the most stupid, and then correct myself.

But if you changed the outcomes you wouldn't be the same person you are today. And since you learned things from those outcomes you would be a worse person having changed them.

Everyone always yells: "KILL HITLER" However that inclines a PARADOX.
You are traveling back in time to kill a famous person before he became famous, If you kill him then he never became famous, So there would have never been a reason for you to travel back in time in the first place, since he has never been famous. So kids, Killing hitler is a paradox, don't do it.


I'd travel back in time to the medieval era with a gun and an iPhone and troll everyone into thinking i'm a witch :3

I don't necessarily think it would be a paradox, as normally the whole idea behind time travel is that the travel itself is 'outside' or 'seperate' from the real-history events. So if you killed Hitler, only you/the people traveling within the 'seperate' universe would notice, and major events would occur/ceace to occur.

(That being said, I probably wouldn't kill Hitler anyway as many human rights' laws have come because of him, if he never existed then an event like that could happen in a much more modern world where technology makes it a million times worse).

Well i was thinking about the time travelling where your action in the past has actual impact on the present after that. You're thinking of some sort of Multiverse where you create a "Second" universe identical to ours and fuck around with that one in your specified time. We're basically thinking about different forms of time travel.

LOL dutch subtitles

IMO maybe i should've gone back in time and bought a ton of market shares for a REALLY good company that wasn't well known back then just to get rich once they become successfull

 

[Sephhh]

I'd go back in the 90s and probably meet myself? I dunno. Anyway a lot of things during the 90s were awesome.

Killing hitler wouldn't remove the human rights laws we have today due to the Japanese (Unit 731) probably continuing to do their 'research' on the prisoners in the pacific.

I would travel to either Dark age europe, due to it being forgetten in the most part so I'd like to see what happened after the fall of the western roman empire, Would also like to see pre-columbian america, see the native cultures before the spanish colonization and conquests.

I have never heard of time travel creating a removed reality

I recommend a series like TimeRiders if you want to get what I mean. It's not actually a removed reality it's the idea that those traveling are protected by a 'bubble' or space which is not affected by the altered reality around them, therefore they notice when reality changes unlike everyone and everything else whose lives would simply just be recreated/ceace to exist completely.
