10 TRIPS WITH TIME MACHINE

I think the best invention of the humankind could be the time machine.

It could let us learn if the written history is really reflected as it was realized and how the world will be in the future.

Think that you have right to travel with a time machine 10 times. You will be invisible and only witness, not able to change anything and stay max 1 week.

What will be your choices ?

My choices are ;

1- Be somewhere in Anatolia 5.000 B.C.
1- Meet with one of the prophets Mohammed, Christ or Moses.
2- See my parents village date : 1200
3- Meet with Ottoman Sultan Fatih in the Istanbul conquest in 1453.
4-Meet with Hun Emperor Attila.
5-Meet with founder of Turkey Atatürk in 1923.
6-See Roma in A.D 100-150
7-Meet with Newton
8-Meet with Plato
9-Visit İstanbul in A.D 2100.
10-Visit the most developed part of the world in year 3000.

Only problem is,Time Machines are never going to be invented are they? If they were some one would have come back and told us......

I assume that one would'nt be permitted to warn people about what was about to happen and thus change the timelime. I would use my trips to answer certain questions that have plagued historians. I would try to find the original Proto-Indo-European homeland and if I had trips left after finding it I would try to find the Proto-Slavic homeland, and if I still had trips left after that, I would maybe meet the Buddha, Lycurgus, Heraclitus, and Apollonius of Tyana. Maybe I would watch the battle of Austerlitz. I would definitely save my last trip to go back to before surfing was know on the coast here and ride the waves of my favorite point breaks without having to fight the crowds.

Edit: maybe I would just use all trips to go surfing. But, this is indeed a silly thing to think about. Time travel is impossible.


because you are made up of various molecules and before they were combined into you they, or their component atoms, were existing somewhere. If you showed up in the past then suddenly those molecules, and atoms, would be in two places at the same time, which is a logical impossibility.

There used to be one at Knott's Berry Farm amusement park.


All I'd need is simply once choice. I would go back in time to the year 1959. Visit a toy store and purchase every #1 Barbie Doll in stock, for the mere cost of $3.00 each. Bring them all back with me to today's date. Sell them each, for the beautiful amount of $5,000.00+ per doll:)

Great logic lol!


Ehh..will it be oh so different aside from a few more skyscrapers? 89 years might not be that long.


Keen choice.


Well you'd probably end up in some boring farm.

Anyway.
1. Meet Boleslaw I and tell him to put in bold letters in the constitution: Beware of Russians and Germanic's [Do not Remove]

2. 1920 so I could kill Hitler and Stalin while they were innocent unsuspecting students...or just get Hitler into his beloved art school and Stalin not expelled from priest school so they wouldn't become totalitarian leaders.

3. Meet Augustus Caesar (I would warn Julius, but the guy was an ass who wouldn't have done all the needed things Augustus did for Rome)

4. Meet Socrates and Plato

5. Meet Queen Elizabeth I

6. Meet a prophet, or act like one (I'd pull out my iPhone and tell them God gave it to me)...then see what the effect was in the future :-)

7. Meet Hume, Kant, Hegel, Rousseau, Hobbes, Locke, and Voltaire (let's pretend it's one trip)

8. Go to 3,000 AD to see where we are, or where we are not, or whether there is a 'we' anymore. :-/

9. Go as far into the future as the time machine will let me to see what the hell is going on... hopefully it won't create negative energy and cease my existence.

10. Take a bunch of hand sanitizer to those idiots in the Plague.

What happened to your imaginatians and fantasies guys ?

Sorry but your posts are just funny.

But at least Des Essientes thought about it and imagined some trips. Thanks.


Nice Beckski :)

But as I told you will also witness the time you go, you can not bring anything.

I am sure you are curious about some events, people etc in the history. Can you try again please :))


I think it is a very very long time in todays world.

Do you know that there is a canal project which will be the second Bosphorus in İstanbul. It is planned and will be finished in just 12 years.

On the other hand, I do not want to see İstanbul only by means of architecture. İt will reflect the social, cultural,political position of Turkey 89 years later in the world.


Might be. But I will meet the ancient nations of Anatolia. Their language, religion, typology, laws, way of living etc, etc.

Thanks for your choices but I have to remind that you will be invisible and only watch what is going on.

erm,Rock,it was meant to be funny....:)
But,you want serious, OK then;
My choice would be to go back in time to some ancient civilisation.......................Oh,wait,if I did that within weeks most of them would have probably died being as I would presumably be carrying some form of virus that they had no immunity to yet.......................Id be a time traveling Conquestador in that respect,oops..... ;)

Id like to stand on the Grassy Knoll ,although being invisable that might be a bit risky,cross fire,back n to the left and all that jazz....

Id love to have witnessed the trail of St Joan, what was up with that chick?

more to come later.
But, I have a get out clause re "cant bring anything back", well, I dont need to bring anything back if I somehow get my name on the origional land deeds of Texas :)

not quite, familiar with Young's double-slit experiment? ;)

How about travelling forward to next Christmas and looking through the window when you and your family/friends are exchanging presents.
That way you will already know what christmas presents you will have to buy and won't have to waste time thinking about it all year.

Actually You might be wrong. According to Einstein's Theory of Relativity journeys through time are possible since time is nothing else but a dimension. Because of so called Grandfather Paradox traveling backwards in time seem to be impossible. Still one could travel into the future. ;)

And if the multiverse theory and strings are true, you could end up anywhere. I'd be happy with a trip to get next year's sports almanac.

I don't personally believe in Strings Theory being accurate. Too many assumptions. It requires at least 20 Cosmological Constants to be exactly what they need to be (with a very small tolerance) for the theory to work and many different versions of it discredit it even more in my eyes. :D

I liked Prof. Hawking's statement that not only is the Universe stranger than we know, but in fact it's stranger than we can know. And he does say that time travel is possible, at least in theory.

Great fun to try one day. You could pop back and but some proper frosted lightbulbs ;-)
