...where would you take your next vacation?

I would so go back to Las Vegas in the early 60's, stay at the Desert Inn, go see a Dean Martin show, and lay by the pool listening to Herb Alpert. I wanna live the rat pack lifestyle for a week.

Where would you go?

Late Cretacious, so I could hunt a Tyrannosaurus, a la "A Sound of Thunder"
Or perhaps a future..... in which human hunting is legal. that'd be fun, Hunting something that's actually "intelligent," a la "The Most Dangerous Game"

WW I...to lead Germany and Austro-Hungary in owning the USA. <.<

Back to go on the Titantic for a few dry days..

Where would you go?

Boston in the 1700's just before the Revolution.

I would go back to ten minutes ago to when I was eating a sandwich.

Back to the building of the Titanic and suggest that they add some lifeboats.

I would go back in time before my girlfriend broke up with me so that I'd be able to patch things up with the knowledge I know now.

Silly boy, that's not a vacation!

To sort out the foo fa about Jesus.

Damn straight. <.< Europa uber alles.

How do I add that smily in my sig btw?

I'd go into the future when humans have all evolved into mutants, with superpowers. :cool:

I would to the beggining of the univers to see if it was god or a natural occurence.

1969, August, NY, Woodstock... see Jimi Hendrix play live... yeah... :cool:

15 minutes ago, my house, to stop myself from stubbing my toe. OW! :(

I'll follow in the footsteps of Bill and Ted, and travel all over picking up historic people and putting them in a school play.

Start up a Groundhog Day style cycle. Will it hurt the universe? If not, can I learn to play the piano?

Can I have an extra eight hours each day to sleep?

Ahh, but if you were only travelling through time, would that be possible?

ooooh i like that.... especially the sleep part :)

About 50,000 years into the future see if there is such thing as 'The Great and Bountiful Human Empire' that spans half of the Galaxy (See Doctor Who, series II).
Failing that 1588 the year a 'Rouge State' destroyed almost an entire Spanish Fleet of over 300 ships, while only lossing 2 ships and less than 100 men.

LOL!!! :p

First, I'd zip into the future and nab a nice little one-man spacecraft. Then I'd head back into the past and start releasing mobile droids--also snatched from the future--to scan and watch over history, to aid essentially everyone studying any form of history. I'd see what caused all the mass extinctions and all that jazz

Atlantis. :D

oooo! That would be AWESOME. I also have a facination with ancient Minoa (as well as Atlantis) and their marine culture.

omg....that would be kick ass....before the crucifiction though. I wouldn't want to be around when that happened.

Greedy chav.

'If you was at Woodstock you weren’t there!' Something my Uncle came up with because of all the LSD being taken :D

Greedy chav.

I wouldn't. I've got more interesting things to do than earn money. =/

Well now that is truly something to think about. If time travel became possible, all forms of betting would have to be off, I would think. There would just be no way to tell if the person you were betting against was from the future.

Think how life would be if every mistake could be corrected? We wouldn't need abortion anymore. We could just go back and not have sex. Trial and error would have a whole new meaning.

There is some indication in the realm of metaphysics and/or quantum theory that time is, in fact, non-linear and there is something about how humans process information that makes it appear so. I don't know much about it, really. There is a similar theory that every event happens accross a multitude of parrallel universes such that all possible outcomes are simulataneously realized, albeit by our parallel selves. This makes time more or less lateral as well as linear. Oh it is a lot to consider.

Anyone know anything else about the reality of time and the possibility of time travel?

I wouldn't. I've got more interesting things to do than earn money. =/

Such as?

What if you went on a vacation back in time and brought back a disease, say like, the black plague? Or to the future and brought back the Poodle Flu?

Well, Scientific American did a great deal of articles on it. Time travel is possible, but it would involve a whole lotta stuff we can't do yet, like creating wormholes and controlling black holes.

Cape: Studying history.

yeah. I am so with you.
bring your own pot, man :p

(welcome to share my shrooms ;))

That’s the Grandparents theory If you were to go into the past and kill your grandparents before your parents are born how could you exist and if you can't exist then how can you go into the past and kill them. This is what people refer to as a paradox.

got any links to those articles, by any chance? (even if i have to subscribe or whatever... really interested!)

Well if its from the past there's a good chance that there is a treatment such as Smallpox or typhoid. If its from the future why not go further into the future lets say 1,000 years there might be a cure.

I'd get a listing of stock histories, go back in time, play the stock market, and become a billionare. Then, I'd probably enjoy the good life, living in a place like South Dakota in the summer, and living in a place like Texas or Nevada in the winter. Also, I'd have all sorts of NFA firearms to play with (I wonder if you can fit silencers onto a minigun's barrels?).
