If you owned a time machine, what time would you travel too and what location and why?

I think I would travel to Germany in 1939 and waste that fucktard hitler. maybe stalin too.

either that or to the time of jesus, moses, noah, etc. purely to see that they were in fact merely people with temporal lobe epilepsy.

I'd probably head back to either the Battle of Waterloo and see mr Bigshot Napoleon lose. Or back even further to the Battle of Canne, just to see Hannible wipe out 80,000 Romans. Or, see the first invasion of Japan by the Mongols. Or witness the Battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC. hmmmmm :happysad:

Time travel is impossible. You go back in time to kill hitler, but then hitler is dead so you had no reason to build the time machine; so the time machine isn't built so hitler is alive.

I own a time machine. It's the newest working model, but it's only capable of propelling me a few hours into the future.
When I activate the machine I am knocked unconscious for a moment, and when I awake I find that I am 6-10 hours in the future.
I'm tweaking it for farther jumps, but my wife keeps disrupting the time field by demanding I get out of the time machine.

...which would mean that you do have motive to build the time machine and go back and kill hitler, so hitler would be dead. but if hes dead you wouldnt go back, so he'd be alive, which means you would go back, etc., etc.

it goes on forever, catch 22. unfortunately we'll never know what'll happen unless someone invents the time machine and tries it out

Before I traveled back in time for anything, I'd go forward in time and get some lottery numbers and stock prices. Then I would come back to present day and buy and sell my stocks and win the lotter. Then after I was ridiculously rich I would embark on travels into the past.

Ever heard of Causailty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causality_%28physics%29) or the Grandfather Paradox (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandfather_paradox)?

It's plausible to assume that if you did something to rendered your existence void in a preceding time line, you would, in fact, cease to exist if you return to your present time line, or a future time line.

Lemme see if I can properly explain this...
My view of time is a continued, unbroken line.
If there was a time machine, and you DID go back in time and "kill your own grandfather", then he wasn't your grandfather to begin with. If you actually DID kill your grandfather, then you would never have existed, and since you DO exist we can safely say you never did kill your grandfather.

The same goes for something like warning yourself of some future catastrophe. If you were going to go back in time and warn yourself, then you would already remember that at some point in the past your future self showed up and warned you.

I call it Bill and Ted syndrome: You know you've got the time machine, and you intend to go back to certain points in time and leave things for yourself when you are in need... You suddenly find that such things are there waiting for you. It's strange, but I don't believe that it is possible for a human to go backwards in time, so that sort of thing is moot IMO.

For further explanation of this Linear Time idea, read Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The movie sucked dick compared to the book.

EDIT: And by "Hitchhiker's Guide" I mean the entire series. It's a hoot. 5/5

My view of time is a continued, unbroken line. At least you added the "my view" line in there, since you can't "properly explain" a theoretical concept like this. I think a more respectable explanation can be had from theoretical physics though, rather than science fiction novels.

At any rate, causality is an interesting subject to read up on, and comes into play in every facet of modern physics and sciences.

As for the outcome, that's not an issue with me sir. I'm happy with those ramifications... but for an instance.. my ancestors on one side came over to farm. The Quakers fought for indian rights.

A bit off topic, but what the hell did Bill Gates do? From watching "Pirates of Silicon Valley" all I learned was, He ripped off the orriginal coder who wrote DOS. he purchased it from the guy and made billions by getting IBM to give him a percentage of every sale. Now just about every company uses Windows as a default platform.

Why not just do everything that Bill Gates did and become Bill Gates?

upuaut
05-02-2006, 08:09 AM
Well that would require work. Buying his stock and ridding on his coat tails would be much easier. I don't WANT to be a computer engineer. Though I find that idea about Bill to be misleading. He did do a LOT of work on the code and the marketing of windows. Marketing is something like 80% of the cost of a product.. so even if that's all he did, he still did something. Anyone who worked with line command DOS, and then worked with the later shell systems of DOS, knows that Bill did work on the system. The ideas might have belonged to the inventer of DOS, and the inventer of Apple DOS, but only bill considered bringing them together.
I think he produces a lousy product most years.. but I dont' think that he did nothing for his money.

I, didnt say he wasn't a marketing genius. I just said he shouldnt have taken all the credit for other peoples work.

Only problem is this. Nuclear weapons are only effective on large populated areas. In 1300, Most people didnt live in cities like we do today. they lived scattered around the planet. so, all the nuclear bombs wouldnt be as effective as they would today.

And eventhough we may have a nuclear winter, Many people would still find a way to survive. You would solve nothing with that.

But again, if you vacinated the N/A's, Then you would have caused an effect in time that more N/As would have survived which means it would have been less likely for the Europeans to have taken control of tribal land. which means people would have been forced to make different choices in life and would not have met their future spouses which means very likely that many of the White Europeans of today would not have been born. You maybe Mexican or Native American for all I know or from India, But for myself and Bill Gate$, We may never have been born.

Or my soul would have taken over a Native American body, since my great grandma was cherokee. Perhaps I would have become full blooded injin!

If paradox can exist, independent of time, then I certainly can go back and rape microsoft early, and then change time a second time by vacinating the Native Americans prior to European invasion. The causality of Bill Gates no longer existing, is irrelivant because I did my dealing before the paradox could take effect. Once I'm back in time with the Natives, I'm staying there, so the future is unwriten to me.

If paradox doesn't exist at all, then I was destined to go back and do exactly what I did. History would remain unchanged, for all my efforts. Since I've already said I'm staying, then I don't know that History was supposed to unfold like that, and I cannot say for sure what effect my journey has had other than to place me among the Native Population, more than one lifespan from colonialization. So I'm still safe.

If paradox cannot exist, then either
A) I go back, but cannot change anything. I guess that would be past viewing, rather than time travel, but it's a form none the less.

B) The universe disapears because I traveled in time at all, causing paradox and destroying everything. No one knows I failed.. not even me.

So as I see it, the only problem case I have is IF, paradox prevents me from altering anything in the past. If that happens then the machine is hardly a time travel machine.

If we place that restriction.. then I would only be able to view something. In that case I would probebly go back and make an accurate record of famous biblical figures for the purpose of discrediting the religions of today. Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Egyptian god kings, The Arians of India, etc.

OK, Now I understand what you meant by *linear thinking*. Good point, but as I pointed out earlier, You destroy your universe when you change time but you don't destroy yourself. so yes, You are correct. :)

I'd go back and keep the nuclear bomb from happening by seeing that Hitler was excepted into Art School. Was that Vienna? Then on my way back I'd keep Kennedy from taking that route through Dealey Plaza and into the triangulation zone. Then I'd keep GW from being born. Before coming back to the present.

Oh, and all of you that talk about how it isn't possible for this reason or that, who cares? It's fun to play!

I do own a time machine or as you all put it. a clock.

It's purpose isn't time travel in essence but to represent the current time.

I am willing to sell it so the starting bid is 200 blow jobs.

I can't believe no one has said that they would go back to the dawn of time to see if the creationists are right or the evolutionists. Of course, that would require some alterations to said time machine to endure the preasures of space travel, but what the hey!

Hmm.. wouldnt it be the same 100?

so umm. Why not just pause time while a bank vault door is open. Walk in, fill bags full of greenbacks and walk out, click play and run like hell.


Oh wait, That was "click".

I don't think hitler ran things. I think hitler was a puppet. I think someone else was running the show. So, if you killed hitler, they would have found another patsy to string up.

I have to do research. But my comment was based on a show I watched. Perhaps conspiracy in nature, but it showed that Hitler was nothing more then a puppet. Those that controlled Germany got away with the destruction of millions of lives while Hitler and his little crew ended up being dying or put in Prison for the rest of their lives.

Hitler, was a great man. I don't mean to support any of his ideals, but he was appealing to many people. He made great speeches, but I doubt he wrote them himself (as most leaders often have speech writers). But, he was very convincing to the desperate people of Germany.

He had nice hair too.. Thats always important :tongue:

I understood the point. we can argue this all day. No War, No Cold War, No Missiles would have been invented or would have been delayed, no Missiles, No Rockets to the Moon, No Home Calculators, No Digital Displays on your watches, No Digital Technology period meaning no CD players, No Home Computers since NASA help advance computer technology in the 60s which lead to Micro Technology to be light enough and small enough to send into space which means no one in Berkeley or standford or colleges around the world would have been working on home computers yada yada.


So, Hitler in a round about way did us a favore?

I believe that this article has alot of the information that king golfish was talking about and I have seen that same program he was talking about I think it was on the history channel. The only reason that I would follow any of this is because I believe that psych is not a science but is part of a religion that embodies sciology and psychology and some others .... Any how, to evade haveing hitler in power one would need to know how it all started.

This is where the facts are, Oddly enough Germany took ALL of the blame for the entire war when germany didnt evn start it or get involved for some time.

Thank you HoseQ for finding that. I have to look to see if its the same show, but I'm sure its the same theory behind it. I don't think it would take much research to find out where hitler was in his youth days. He clearly entered an art school. Find out the exact date, Show up in the time machine and slit his throat. or Just shoot him in the head a few times. Make sure your time machine is close enough to keep from being arrested. But, wouldnt someone else have taken his place. True, no one person would rule or make the same decissions, but Had someone smarter then hitler ran, and was able to not be completly controlled, then it's possible that both the nuclear research and rocket research would have went on longer and more money invested into it. Making NAZI Germany the first and only country to have atomic bombs capable of being carried on rockets. another 10 or 20 years after winning the war, they might have completly destroyed North America for getting involved.

Your welcome.

World history and American history along with politics, both local and abroad have been my main inerests since I can remember. It can be very boring but when you put things together and into perspective it isnt very hard to guess where they {powerful special interest groups} are trying to take it.

Sad really. We live on such a cool planet and heres some small evilminded soul/s just hell bent to fuck your life so he/they can have a little power.

Politicians need to be stopped dead in their tracks when they pull bullshit like this ID card thing, reguardless where they are. Includes royalty.

Psychology and sociology are sciences. Human behavior is both observable, measurable, and for the most part, predictable. How does that equate to a religion?

You know.. it becomes more and more clear that debunking is taking place.

How foolish I am. and yet, I've been a member of these forums for years. It's not just one, Its every single one. I guess it could be something as simple as me googling things of interest and it being on the first page.

never post a photo of your face. Everyone and Momma in your town will come across it. The truth is, 99.999 percent of the world are timid about communicating on web forums, so they just browse.

of the topic a bit, It amazes me how many people are actually posting Blogs and Videos on youtube of them acting retarded. I mean, its ok to make videos like that, but make sure the only people who sees them are your very very close friends. but there is always that one cat who likes to save it and spread it around. thats when you know who your own personal Judas is.

Are you so set in your mind that such things aren't possible? Why? Because it allows intelligent people to not get caught for their actions. They find some person like Hitler who would in no doubt be diagnosed as being insane by todays standards and let him pretend he is in charge.

How did I come to this conclussion?? I watch alot of films, documentations over the year. Do I believe it? I dont know, Maybe a little bit. Im just throwing ideas out there. This is a "What if" scenerio. An "Alternative Reality". right? But then again, I do believe it probably happened that way. You, on the other hand are so 1 tracked in your beliefs, that you have to ask yourself who is being the idiot here.

That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. How did you come to this conclusion?

To answer, yes all human actions are observable but in those professions the practitioners try to evoke a change in the persons behavior through direct or indirect intervention. It is becoming more and more obvious that it is necessary to first address the elan vital/spirit/soul [you] before there can be any real changes in the mind. If one must address the spirit then one is gettting into the realm of religion/spirituality/theology and it no longer is "science". For those things to stay in the field of science they would need to fall into one of 2 sections, I believe. First, always asking questions as any scientist always does. Second would be a provable type of engineering, for it is engineering that classically has the answers to those questions and for it to stay in the field of science and not be moved into religion the practitioners would then have to be ableminded enough to differentiate between the brain and the mind. Currently they cannot.
