Time Travel

[Time Lord]

As a time lord i have go to ask this question!
What would you do if you had the means to time travel.
(Take into considiration all the pardoxes before you reply and suggest what you will do to stop them having an effect)

 

[Pulsar]

I would check out if Helen of Troy really was worth all the fuss.

 

[Daealis]

Sneak into the night and steal the body of Jesus so they'll think that graverobbers have desecrated the tomb of their savi....oh wait.

 

[Doc.]

If I could as well speak on any languages I wished, I would want to see somebody like Socrates for instance. I would make friends with lots of philosophers out there. I would see myself at age of 1, 2, 5, 9, and 15. I would see my parents and grandparents in their youth. I would also teach scientists what I know about science.

and yeah, I ignored paradoxes.

I'd go and talk to Newton about relativity. :mrgreen:

Food for thought: http://xkcd.com/567/

Could we stop the library of Alexandria from being burned?

 

[Andiferous]

Coffee houses in Restoration England.

Dressed as a man. Who likes coffee.

 

[Prolescum]

Could we stop the library of Alexandria from being burned?

Which one?


I'd go forward to the year 802,701 and lead a battle between the Eloi and the Morlocks.

 

[Anachronous Rex]

Take a M-60 to the Spartans at Thermopylae to spare us all that movie.

 

[Mycernius]

Take a M-60 to the Spartans at Thermopylae to spare us all that movie.

Oh come on, it wasn't that bad. I mean you could use it to kill the writers of the remake of the Wicker Man instead. A much worthier cause

That's what I was thinking. I'd also go around saving all kinds of works that got destroyed for being considered "heresy".

 

[Time Lord]

I would personally go back and look at Galileo when he turned his telescope to the sky and made the observations that changed astronomy forever.

 

[Doc.]

Oh come on, it wasn't that bad.

It was much worse.

Hmm... I'd rather do both.

Kill George Lucas just after making Return of the Jedi as well... ooh, and -speaking of Nicholas Cage- whoever wrote Knowing.

 

[Andiferous]

This might make me sound a bit horrible. But if I had the capacity to time travel, screw science! I've already won if I'm a Time Lord.

I should not watch the Wicker Man remake then? It's on my list...

 

[Aught3]

I'd go back and suicide-bomb Hitler, just because I think suicide-bombing has a bad rep.

 

[Andiferous]

You'd have to wait till he did bad stuff first to make it effective though

 

[Aught3]

Obviously. If I just wanted to kill Hitler that could be done at any time. I figure just after the Final Solution was put into effect would be the best time for maximum glory.

 

[Andiferous]

You are right of course. Viewing history in retrospect, your message would have maximum effect just before he committed suicide.

 

[Shaedys]

You are right of course. Viewing history in retrospect, your message would have maximum effect just before he committed suicide.

The endlosing would be the killing of all the jews. So if you'd do it right after that, that would work.

Would that prevent Japan getting nuked, or the state of israel?
