If time travel was possible, where would you go? Into the future? or back to the past? (and it's a one way trip).


I would definitely go back. There are so much to be accomplished, fix mistakes, prevent disasters, rewrite history...

This is my BOOMSTICK!


But actually I'd go Back to the Future. Hoverboards, flying cars, and more.

1980s, to invest in some fruit company so I don't have to worry about money any more.

I would go back 130 years, because I think I belong there.

I'd go back a few years.

I'd like to take some stuff with me. Can I do that?

I'd like to go back with my laptop and my smartphone and magically be able to access the internet of today.

I could have made everyone evacuate the towers and the pentagon so the death toll would be smaller.

And imagine knowing when to be at the right place at the right time thanks to Wikipedia or something.

You're cheating, you can retain information in your head, but won't be able to access FUTURE information.

Hmm.. Whack Jesus before he started his little cult, or save the Library of Alexandria from being razed. Tough call.

Alright, when you say going back in time. Will I go into my body of the past like I am 10 years old again (Quatum leap) or I will be there at my current ago with my other self still being there ( parallel universe)?

Think of rewind, except you would remember what happens up to the point.

I see, like Butterfly Effect. I love those kind of movies hahaha
I would go back and know what is going to happen before it happen. Win lotto, buy stocks, and save lives...

Now it got me wondering.. people who won the lotto couple time are from the future?!?! :-o
