Things to think about #1: Time Travel

Chris · 19 Mar 2006, 21:57

Ok, this is something we have been trying on another forum and seems to work. A few topics for you to consider which generally provokes some interesting responses.

If you had a device capable of breaking down solid matter and projecting through space and maybe even time itself

, where, when and why would you visit?

Ben · 19 Mar 2006, 22:01

the blitz (just like gary sparrow lol) because even though all what ws going on and no matter how bad time were everyone was having they all managed to stick together and make the best of what they had to help with the war effort. it was a time that made everyone real proud to to british.

Chris · 19 Mar 2006, 22:14

I really don't know where i would go.

Maybe a primordial swamp to see the first life on earth or Egypt at the height of the Pharohs. But then part of me wants to go to Dallas to stand on a grassy knoll and either shout "duck" or just look around adn see who else was there. Also the Million Dollar sessions at Sun Reocrds with Elvis and Johnny Cash could be cool. Or that meal at the posh restaurant with her in 1998.

I really really don't have a clue.

Ageing Bat · 21 Mar 2006, 10:38

First World War, in the trenches....... to try to stop the human massacre. Those poor men suffered a living hell for the sake of a few feet of mud. God bless them.

Thieves! I bet he stole Chris' idea: Chiropractor claims to travel through time

tukayaway · 09 Apr 2006, 01:29

1967. Woodstock. Then hang around for the next decade or so to witness some great bands, and the birth of Bat.

Heli · 09 Apr 2006, 13:10

Saturday 8th of April 2006, 16:14.

So I could place a massive bet on Numbersixvalverde, winning the Grand National!

Frikkin 11/1. Imagine that sucker!

And I could also pick the lottery numbers to win a couple of mill on the side.

Now that's an idea I stole from Marty McFly.

duke knooby · 23 Dec 2008, 02:58

whats this???

Wario · 23 Dec 2008, 03:41

I'd visit 1969 and see Popcorn Blizzard's rumored rendition of Gimme Shelter

OR I'd visit 1972 and see More Than You Deserve performed at the Public Theater

OR OR I'd go to 1983 and take a bite out of the Cinnamon Cap'n Crunch Cereal they discontinued in 1990 (a year before my birth

)

OR OR OR visit 1933 and ask M. Cooper for the missing spider pit sequence from King Kong thats been lost for a long time now

Man if you gave me a time machine, you just gave Frosty his magic hat

~Helen~ · 23 Dec 2008, 19:50

Saturday, a few moments after the winning lottery numbers are announced, and long enough for me to have them written on my arm in marker pen. Then i'd like to return to present day, please - I have a trip to the newsagents to make...!

~Helen~ · 23 Dec 2008, 19:50

do I remain 27? or if I go back in time do I de-age too? because this would make it tricky to go back in time before 1981. What I also need to know, is whether this is a temporary visit to a different time, or do I have to stay there? coz there aint no way I'm living through this past year again! or several other years of my life!

honestly, there are a few things i would have loved to have seen / experienced, but as all our experiences are part of what makes us who we are now, I wouldn't want to meddle. they say everything happens the way it does for a reason...and I have to hang on dearly to that belief because it's what has helped me get through some very difficult times in the past. if I go back and meddle with the past, who's to say the path i would take would be any better than it has been?!*

*Edit....unless of course that is to travel forward in time in order to obtain Saturday's winning lottery numbers. Then I'm happy to meddle
