Assuming i had a time machine.

I would go back in time to speak to J.P.Morgan.
I think i would try to enlighten him on the benefits of Tesla's wireless energy system.
And the need for energy to be free and un-metered.
I think the point in time when J.P. Morgan withdrew funds from Wardencliff was a critical schism in time.
I often wonder what it is like in the timeline where Tesla was fully funded and the industrialists of the day saw the profits in the products rather than the energy.
Maybe they never had WW1 or WW2 etc.
Where would you go and what would you try to change?

I still do not think it is possible to travel through time. We spatialize time in order to think about the past the ponder the future but it is an illusion that arises out the the function of consciousness.

Time is not a spatial dimension. Go grab a cup of time. It is not possible.

But, if provided a Time Viewer that allowed the manipulation of events through an interface that translates Time into 3 dimensions, I would change the data so that Mohammed was never born and Islam never invented.

No Mo. No more.

Go back and have a high definition camera pointed at the grassy knoll and one at the supposed shooters window?

9/11 go back and make a bomb threat on the towers so they are evacuated

Maybe even go back to last night and warn myself not to have the vodka's I had after heavy beer consumption

I would go back in time and disinvent/uninvent (what's the right word for this? anybody knows?) the time travel machine... we can't even handle a gun, so we shouldn't handle anything like this.

BUT... since i'm on my way anyway (excuse), i'd go back to 1947, 8th of july, and wait on a ranch for something to happen, to be the first witness. anybody got a clue ? that'd be interesting indeed...

peace

I'd go back in time to stop you from making this thread O_o


I'd also go back to 1984 for Sarah Connor.


and I agree with an above poster, ... If president Kennedy were saved we would be looking at a different world today, perhaps a better one.

I would like to be in the 60s, particularly 1968 and 1969.

Those were the best years of humanity.

Its kinds sad and disappointing I was born 20 years later...

I wouldn't alter ANYTHING.

I'd go back to ancient Egypt and take footage of those damn ramps and flesh and blood humans cutting, carving, quarrying and building pyramids without any alien help or 'lost civs.' Maybe check out Cleopatra and Helen of Troy...see what the fuss was all about.

Then a quick visit to Hyuetlico to see when man began to populate the Americas. That'd likely lead to a global tour of the great sites like Ur and Gobekli Tepi. Seeing the first tool use by our distant hominid ancestors would be part of the Kandinsky Time Tour. Maybe have a night out in Sodom and Gommorha? Sounds like a Club 18-30 destination...

Burning Bushes and little babies being born in stables would be fascinating....as would peaking into Mohamed's cave and seeing exactly what really happened.

There's so much we'd all like to see...Roswell, Aztec, Malmstrom AFB and the Big Sur incident.

Can a Time Machine change our first love? I'd maybe grow a pair and change not asking Miss Perfect out years ago...awww....the regrets...

EDIT to add...the great music acts live...Hendrix, Joplin, Who, Stones, Berry, Presley, MC5, Stooges, Roky Erickson, Cream, Doors, Howlin' Wolf...the list is loooooooong.

I would jump around to various famous historical figures and follow them around making annoying jokes. Like, I'd follow Jesus around and wait for him to leave a door open and then say "Hey, were you born in a barn?!"

Then I'd show Sigmund Freud Revolutionary Girl Utena and every David Lynch movie ever and see how long it would take for him to go insane.

In that second situation, I mean "will" rather than "would." I've already done it in the future. The jerk keeps harassing me with the time machine he stole from future me.

Then I would kidnap 12 year old John Wilkes Booth and have pie with him and Hitler, because pie solves everything.

I would travel back to ancient Egypt and take a glimpse for myself at who built the pyramids in what way

I would travel back to when I was in high school. And I would work my butt off to get into Yale, which in turn would lead to the Skull and Bones. Which of course, would lead me to being in TPTB, which would rock.

go back an few weeks, and buy some winning lottery tickets for a start.
then check out egypt like some others would.
also might take a look at the dinosaurs, that could be rather interesting
maybe skip back to 1943 and have a chat with tesla, now that really would bw worthwhile, then pop over to 1963 with a camera and check out the grassy knoll
other then that, just hop around some and check out anything else that i come across that coiuld be interesting

I would go nowere. Doing nothing...

See... If i did, i would prob never been born and if i wasnt born..
I couldnt travel in time..Thats why it cant be done..OR...

Maybe it can, but not the way you guys think. Maybe you can
travel in time. But only like an astral walk, like a ghost. That
way you could go back and see what whent wrong and do the
right thing in the present.

Or go back and see IF Jesus really was all that..Or WHO built the
pyramids. Or what really happend in Roswell.

Boy, talk about an easy choice!

1492.

I'd sink Columbus's fleet, and then travel the lands and marvel at the cities of the Natchez, Mound Builders, Aztecs, Inca and unknown others, teaching germ theory and epidemic prevention/control/mediation measures wherever I went.

1.Covert snatch mission on the alexandria library,just before it was sacked and burned.
With plenty of flashbangs to keep the locals away.

2.Same idea,covert snatch squad on Hans Kammlers last known wherabouts.

3.Overt snatch mission,dinosaur age,get me some eggs!!!

4.An obvious one,Back to the Mayans,in specific the dudes that wrote the calender,for their insight on 2012

5.Nip back to ad 10,and con a hair from the young Jesus somehow.
Ready to sell on Ebay in the present.

6.Another obvious one,go back to the birth of micrsoft and apple,and pile some savings into their shares!

7.Travel the world 5 thousand years ago,and bury computer chips and TVs about the place,in clay or salt to preserve them.Then in the present I can pretend to be a pyschic who digs up fossilised weirdness.

8.Last but by no means least,I would travel back to the tip of Everest,when it was but a tiny mound,and I would shave off the top into a nice flat area and carve the letters ATS.COM deep into the stone,each letter 10 meters in size.

That wouldn't mess up things too much would it?
