If you could have a time machine that only allowed you travel from today to any point in the future and back... Or from today to any point in history and back. What would you pick?


Would you go to the future and see how the Earth ends up, maybe mix with aliens, see for yourself how advanced the human race can get, and witness the end of the world.


Would you go back to see your ancestors, see Henry VIII get mad at people, watch Wordsworth write a poem, see what Jesus was really up to.


Would it make a difference to your choice if you could only observe as a ghostly presence?


Does your age make a difference? Most young people instinctivly say future because they are keen to see progress. However most older people say the past, basicly because they want to visit old family members who have long since died.


Remember you can only go one way.

I'd like to spin forward, say, thirty years and see how I've evolved.


My legs will have shrivelled-up, as will my left arm. A single unblinking eye (on a stalk) will protrude from my enlarged head. My right arm will have lost all it's fingers, save for the one that clicks on the mouse.

I would jump forward to the time when time travel is discovered and stop the person who invented it thereby stopping everyone on this forum becoming time touristss disrupting the space time continuum. Otherwise the very fabric of space and time itself will be ripped usunder and this timeline as we know will vanish.


In saying that, if I was successful, I might very well aide my own disapperance from this time line and any future one that I travel to.:'(


On second thoughts, I'll just stay at home...

Oh I got over my Oedipus complex years ago. I just want to see what would happen if I went back and killed him coz then technically I would never have been there to have gone back and killed him but then he would have survived so I would have still been there to go back and kill him :-S


You know I blame him for this actually because he was the one who brought the paradox to my attention one day when I was 8 years old and we were discussing time travel. (I wasn?t holding a gun and I hadn?t made any threatening gestures)

    • Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)
    • If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.
    • You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.
