Okay so I have a half hour to kill before I can go home. So I’m gonna throw this out there and see what happens . . .
Let’s say I have a time machine. You can go anywhere, to any time, where would you go?
Here are the restrictions:
Make only one choice.
You can’t interact with your environment. You can see, smell, hear, touch, taste, etc. but you can’t alter anything. Think of A Christmas Carol and Scrooge going places with the Ghosts of Christmas Past/Present/Future
You can only stay for say a day, so you can’t choose to view the birth of Jesus and then hang around 30 or 40 years (or whatever, don’t thump me on this) to see how he dies.
I think that’s it.
I myself would like to see the dinosaurs during their heyday. The environment was much different, and it would be cool to see those big-a** creatures cruising around.
Hang around the place where Coca Cola was invented, take a peek at the secret ingredients (while the pages are being turned by someone else), wake up the next day, and sell the ingredients to some underground soft-drinks manufacturer
Oh man,
I would go so so so so so so far into the future, that when I got back, our galaxy was destroyed, containing only Solar Clusters… Amazing…
And actually, it really is possible you guys. You really can travel foward in time. Traveling at the speed of light, in the opposite direction of the earth, into space, at a rate of 10 meters, you go about, say… 50 years or so?
Traveling like this for about 5 minutes, puts you about 10 billion years ahead of time.
Oh and plus, travelling back, 5 minutes, another couple billlion years
People people people . . . did you read the first post in the thread? You can’t interact with time, can’t change things, can’t open a savings account or sell coca-cola recipes (although that is a good one). Only observe.
Rev I hope you take notes because I would LOVE to see the Anasazi and brethren. I’d like to see the Grand Canyon when it was only a Great Canyon. I’d like to see the place where my house is right now about 300 years ago. I’d like to see the Hawaiian Islands being born.
Ah, so many things to see and so little . . . time! :lol:
Not at all - I’m not trying to recreate 50,000 sci fi movies here, I’m just curious to know who would go see what. It’s too simple to say how you would change stuff, get-rich quick, etc. It’s more interesting to try to comprehend what has already happenned.
Seeing how it all went down when your parents met - now THAT would be a sight to see! :thumb:

Now that that’s out of the way, if it wasn’t for this darn only-observing thing, I would go back and talk to someone like Gandhi, or Joan of Arc, or Martin Luther King Jr, or John Ritter (guess which one doesn’t quite belong). But since I can only observe, I would go back and watch a live taping of Three’s Company, 'cause I really miss John Ritter right now.
