Thread: Time Travel

The day IBM stock first went on sale.

Wow thats tough. I would like to watch the building of the great pyrimid, or any great civilization (Rome, Greece, Mayan Etc.) in thier heyday, or to see dinosaurs walk the earth. Tough to narrow down to only 1 event.

Just curious.

I seem to have a few people already lining up to use the machine.But seeing as you are one of the first to take interest I could give you 24 hours, idle time is exspensive.Or if you would like to stay you could take the oneway option!

If I cannot be harmed, I'd like to be present at a test detonation of a nuclear weapon and stand right at the blast. That would be one heck of a ride! Then again, that is not something that is at all possible to do without being harmed, so I'd imagine it wouldn't count. It would probably be interesting to see, though.

Hm, I'm sure there are some amazing concerts that I would love to go to, but I'd have to think about which one to pick. Or maybe go back to see some Group B rally's live and be one of those nuts who stands out on the course until right when the car comes. It would be very cool to see the Audi S1 or the Lancia Delta S4 or Intergale.

Or maybe I'd just head to the roaring 20's and party non-stop...

ps. you cannot be harmed in anyway while at said event!
Let your imagination run wild but try not to let this thread get to heated.
After thought- if you have time travelled please put up pictures.
Note:being abducted by alliens and pictures involving probes is not and will not be considered as time travel

Retrograde time travel (i.e. travel into the past) is impossible (you can prove this by a very simple logic exercise if you want). Thus, what we are talking about here is fantasy, and since it is fantasy travel, we can go to any place we or anyone else can imagine. I choose to travel back to the initial contact between humans and martians in H.G. Well's War of the Worlds.

I would go back in time to a few minutes before I got into the time machine in the first place to talk myself out of going.
