Time Travel - Would You?
Posted on 8/2/23 at 8:52 pm

Was just watching The Adam Project this evening on Netflix. I'm a sci-fi guy at heart and these types of movies/series always make me think.
While it's of course a hypothetical and not a choice any of us will probably ever have, what if time travel was possible? Would you do it?
Would you travel back in time? Forward in time? Both? Would you time travel as a way of tourism almost, going back to see historical events as they occurred or see what events are going to occur?
Would you travel back prior to you being born?
Would you travel back to earlier in your life and make any changes? If you did make changes would they be minor changes or major changes that would very possibly change how your life developed? Would you worry about the butterfly effect?
I know for me I would love to go back in time to see some historical events actually occur. Ironically I don't have as much of a desire to travel forward in time. As for making changes I'm sure I would be nervous at first but I do think I would seriously consider making some changes. Mostly minor ones (taking some chances I ended up not taking, hooking up with some women I was too scared to hook up with in the moment, lol) but there would be probably three decisions I would change that could end up drastically altering the life I ended up living.
If you made changes would they be minor changes or changes that would impact how your life ended up? Another thought is this. Would you travel back in time if it was a one way trip? If you could travel back in time but couldn't get back? For me I would consider it but I would want the best of both worlds. I would want a guarantee I would go back into my younger body but I would want to have the knowledge of my current self).
How would you utilize time travel if it was truly possible?

I would go back 2 minutes and never open this thread.

I’d go back and slap 25 year old me upside the head.

I think I could just move to Denmark and accomplish the same things.

Yes. Just to place a few bets.

To talk with my Grandparents again and maybe follow my Grandfather's career path. Demand better eye care for my young self and demand a second opinion.

This is definitely one of mine. My grandfather on my mom's side passed away when I was very young (lung cancer, lifelong smoker, died in his early 60s). My other grandfather on my dad's side passed away before I was even born but he got screwed up anyway in World War II and became an alcoholic with PTSD (before they obviously knew what PTSD was).
I'm always told I'm a fair amount like my grandfather on my mom's side. It would definitely be on my list to talk to him and maybe get to know him more. In the very least one good conversation.

I would travel back to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. So many things could be debunked or confirmed.

One theory about UFOs and ETs in the news these days is that they are indeed time travelers from the future on vacation or just joy riding. Sometimes they frick up and wreck their “cars”.

It could be bought in 11-83 for $.09. I could just continue to make piles for 2 more years.
I could have loaded up on Miss Betty's 46th birthday. RIP

I’d travel back to Tuesday evening and go buy a mega million with the winning numbers from the $1.1B jackpot that no one won last night.
