Time Machine

You have a time machine that can take you to any year in the past or future. After it makes two trips, it will implode and you can no longer use it. Where in time do you go?

Go to year 0 and check if jesus existed.
Then go back home and tell everyone the news.

I'd go to year 9001, then I could say I've been to over 9000.

I'd do the same. Take HD video cam with me, of course. I hope I wouldn't get killed.

Well,
1) going to the past would affect the timeline and may have severe consequences
2) going to the future would leave me with knowing about stuff I'm not supposed to know about, possibly causing unbearable anticipation, being plain horrified by what the future may hold or making me feel like I should be responsible for fixing all the errors in the future.

So, I would play it safe and go one week to the future, check the winning lottery numbers, get filthy rich and leave it at that.

The physicial form of Jesus wouldn't have existed then, sorry. You could meet Adam though if you first flew to Israel and then time traveled.

That all depends on who's time travel we're going by. Some stories say that our actions would affect the current time (even possibly making us unborn) and some say we'd be a third party watcher which could interact with, but not change, history.

I think I'd have to agree with...

Tricky question. I would go back time, about 3 months ago, and do something I should have done. If it works, Stay here and never use the machine again.

If it doesn't, go way more back in time again (like in september) and try again.

I dont care about not using the machine anymore after that. Present worth nothing for me as for now. At least I will be able to say that I did everything I could. No one will ask me something more.

I would travel hundred million years forward just to see if Earth and humanity will still exist or how the humanity will see its end. Other than I would defiantly travel to Ancient Greece around 1000 B.C.

I agree with the Jesus scenario. But perhaps I would go not back to the present time, but maybe to the early 1900's or Late 1700s. That way, I could meet all those really notable people of the United States.

I don't think I would mind staying.

I would go back to September and change a few things and if I didn't like it I would come back.

My old therapist asked me this question lol and the same answer still stands.

I would go back to February 2nd 1959. To try and stop my Hero Buddy Holly from boarding the plane that caused him his life..
I would do all I could, I would even tackle him If I needed too..
