Re: If you could go back in time...
How far back in time? Cause if it's like 10 seconds it's not gonna be much use
Although saying that your witty repartee could become ****ing awesome.
BEFORE TIME TRAVEL
<Person 1> I hate you
*slight pause*
<You> I hate you more
AFTER TIME TRAVEL
<Person 1> I hate you
<You> The hate i feel for you is slowly eating away at my insides, like an acid. I know im doomed to becoming a stooped-figured shadow of myself because of it and knowing that only makes me hate you more.

its hypothetical, you can go as far back as you want and do whatever you want. Though if it involves molesting children it's just NOT COOL

Re: If you could go back in time...
take over the world.
i'm flat out serious here. it'd be a totalitarian regime but the world would sure as hell be a better place (temporarily)where everyone lives in ignorant bliss (apart from me and some cronies) and where technologies would exist a good millenium earlier and such forth.

you think access to technology earlier would make the world a better place?

Re: If you could go back in time...
Other than the obvious make money through the lottery and gambling, I would make a few other decisions in a different way.
For example
I would try everything possible to stay with my ex girlfriend of 2 years (17-19) as this was a girl I now look back on and see that I could marry.
I might not make mistkaes ive made in the past, such as the one time I accidentally gambled away £300 in the space of an hour.
I would probably shag/have relationships with birds who were ugly when they were in year 10/11 and then come six form were phwoaar. Id also do the same with girls at uni, who are fit but dont know it, infiltrate that and exploit it.
Generally my life hasnt been too bad to be honest, so I would only really do the money thing and be loaded for life.

Re: If you could go back in time...
Im fairly confident i wouldnt waste 2 and a half years of my life again with the same devious slut
I would have quit playing computer games a lot earlier, as it has freed up so much time.

Re: If you could go back in time...
I'd go back in time, patent a bunch of stuff, and then GPL it all so the only people who could use "my" various inventions would be the people who never use patents.
I'm not saying this would make the world better, but it would make arguing with pro-IP types a lot more fun.

This is a brilliant idea and I'd do something similar, if I wasn't ****ing about with the timeline too much by inventing the microprocessor in 1400 or something.

Re: If you could go back in time...
no, no, the technology is only for me! so my life would be easier, but it'd also allow me to carefully plot the world's growth.
i'd be like god basically. a twofaced god, that is. have a facade of a peace-loving, prosperity-sharing lord and such, but behind the scenes i'd keep track on everyone, use said technology to make sure that i can 'see all' and such.
that's the more negative adminstrative side though, in daylight with recently advanced and gained knowledge of medicine, agriculture, enviromental welfare and so forth, it'd be much easier to cultivate a utopia of sorts (of my own vision that is)

Re: If you could go back in time...
id still do most of the shit I shouldnt do but do. Like smoking, playing pa, gambling, playing snooker just in general doing nothing as well I enjoy it. But money would make all of this easier to do.

Apart from setting myself up so I'm a bit richer, I don't think I'd change anything in my life. It's all been pretty good so far.

Re: If you could go back in time...
on a much less extreme note, i'd also probably gamble a lot more and go back in time regularly with gained knowledge of outcomes etc (i mean poker specifically here really) if i was too lazy to do the growing the world how i want to etc thing

Re: If you could go back in time...
I didnt really mean 'turning back time' and righting your mistakes with the knowledge you have now. I was more thinking of getting into a time machine that can take you to any time at all....so if you went back to your past, you'd see the old you, still making those mistakes. You'd just have to bitchslap him and tell him not to be a fool.
I'd like to go back and teach relativity theory to the ancient greeks and watch their brains explode....and then see how much difference it made to the future.

Re: If you could go back in time...
What you actually ended up doing would really depend on the specifics of how the whole thing worked. You say you can go back. And then presumably you can go forward again to "now". But then it wouldn't be "now", it'd be some parallel "now" where Grimsby were the world's greatest football club or wherever. If your machine can go forward to now, why can't it go forward from now?
Finally, are you affected by the changes? Can you kill your own parents and then disappear, or are you protected by some sort of force shielded temporal warp bubble?
I demand to know.
If I can just go back, once, then I would go back and teach them as much engineering knowledge as I could manage. Theoretical physics seems a bit pointless, but teaching more advanced irrigation, medical or construction techniques a millennia earlier would presumably make a massive difference.
Alternately, you could make sure your "tribe" (whoever you "support") dominates by giving them Uzi's in 2000BC. It's all good.

I don't know!!!
This was all inspired by Dace saying on IRC that he wanted to go back in time so he could **** britt eckland or someone while she was still hot. So i figured it might actually make for an interesting forum topic.
so yeah...whatever you want....the machine can go back, and if you want it to go forward it can do too I suppose, but as you said it would have to go to a parallel now that was affected by your actions. and if you want it to go further forward too then i guess it could. and seeing as none of it is possible anyway, sure you can kill your parents. whatever makes you happy

Re: If you could go back in time...
but seriously, i'd probably kick the shit out of all the little shits that made school hell for so many people.
then i'd sell the use of my time and machine to go back and beat up all the other little shits at other peoples schools.
I'd be a super hero

I was going to mention some major event, but then realised I wanted something more basic.
I'd go back to being 5 years old. Ignorance is bliss.

Back to a more innocent, more happy, time. A time when you didn't know what your Uncle did to you was wrong. A time when you didn't have to feel shame for something so wrong feeling so right.

Re: If you could go back in time...
I wouldn't do anything major. Instead, I'd find my 14 year old self and tell him that he's totally right, PA is for losers and not to give it a go for a laugh. By doing that I'd never have had an internet girlfriend for 2 years (how stupid was I), I'd have touched a whole lot more girls, I'd have better social skills and I'd have got to Cambridge instead of Cardiff.
Good life eh?

Re: If you could go back in time...
Money thing mainly, plus if you were ever kidnapped or such, you could go back in time and avoid it.
Or be a military commander in say roman times and kick arse with your knowledge from Rome:Total War.

Wouldn't you need to 'delay' them only once so a different sperm got through?

A different sperm would have different genes as the result of meiosis. Only slightly changing the event would probably give a different sperm the "victory".
Of course, you then have to ascribe a genetic component to the outcome of an individual's life, which I can't do with this avatar.

I'd go back 4and a half billion years and piss in the primodial soup, thus resulting in life as we know it beginning to evolve from an STD I picked up from Helen of Troy when I had a bried layover in 400BC.

You can't travel to the future as it hasn't yet happened, thus it doesn't exist either.
The idea of time travel which is commonly thought of is that you will go back in time if you reach the speed of light and exceed it - this is untrue. Events will happen at the same speed for you travelling at n times the speed of light as they will for me, stationary lying in bed. However, relatively speaking, you will age slower than I will as time will not pass as quickly.
Hence the theory of relativity.
Or something along those lines.

I wasn't really planning on spying on them closely enough to work out exactly when they were having sex. Even for eliminating Tony from history that would be too high a price to pay.
