Time Travel, what would YOU do?

Non of this stopping wars and making people happy. I want selfish, greedy replies.

I'd travel back in time and give my past self a big slap round the head and tell him to take off those stupid NHS glasses and get a haircut. Then get laid. Job done.

Nothing altruistic, huh?

Okay, I would go back to my college years and move to NYC to persue a carrer in acting. I would tell myself to invest in Microsoft stock.

I have many things i would like to do, it depends on how far back in time i would go...if i went back in time really far, i woulc see lots of things. I would like to have been around for the first circus, because circus performance is something i have had an interest for for a long time.

Another time would be to see the birth of Christ and write another version of the bible, i think it would be a good read, and definately get on the best sellars list down at waterstones, that way i could make lots of money, and friends.

take care all

But what if you can't go back in time? What if the time that has passed ceases to exist once we pass it? There would be nothing to go back to. Once we have all moved on, why would the past continue to exist on another plane that would allow us to return to it?

Just a little something to think about.

Everything in the world is temporary-nothing lasts forever-except time.So what if it were temporary-it began with the big bang-so what if it ends in an implosion. Everything would then go back in time to the original big bang, when it would then start again.-if this were true-this could be the umpteenth time we've had this life-maybe explaining deja vu.... something to think about

note-this is not my theory- just something i read Updated On: 4/20/04 at 06:25 PM

There is a book called "Behold The Man". I'm thinking it was written by Michael Moorcock and deals the subject of going back in time to see Christ. It is nothing like anyone would imagine. It was as GREAT read.

Interesting theories about time, guys. I love that kind of stuff. Ever heard of the "Stacked Universe" theory? That kinda explains things as well.

I know this isn't a sci fi board so I'll keep it down.

I WOULD GO BACK IN TIME TO THE MORNING OF OCTOBER 16TH 1994, WHEN I WAS JUST 13...I WILL REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY FOR EVER, SUCH A SPECIAL MOMENT AS I MADE THE FIRST RELEASE OF MY MUSIC CAREER

I would go back in time and see Judy Garland perform live, Barbra Streisand at the Winter Garden as Fanny Brice, Carol Channing in Hello, Dolly!, Ethel Merman as Mama Rose, etc.
I would also go back to when I was a child and give myself some good advice...to go for what I want while I am that young (even though at that age I didn't want what I want now); but I would tell myself, "Listen. You might not want this now, but in 10/15 years you will, and then you'll regret not starting early."

Los Angeles, 1958 - ask Tab Hunter out on a date.

I would go back and write all of the Beatles songs before they wrote them.

Then I would go back in time and smack Emily Webb in "Our Town" and tell her to stop time traveling.

I was just about to say something about Our Town and going back in time, but you beat me to it. I was in the ensemb of that show in a production awhile ago and I sat onstage as one of "the dead" so there was time for me to contemplate what she was doing...If someone tells you that doing anything is a bad idea, you automatically want to do that more, right?

I think I'd have to go back and invent all kinds of random things (like when you see them you say "why didn't I think of that?") and make a fortune. Then, being rich and influential, I'd hop to 1996 and yell at some hospital people for not seeing Jonathan Larson's aneurysm-waiting-to-happen, thereby saving him. *shameless Rent fan*
