Early 20th century
Civil war era
Late 19th centure
Ancient greece
Ancient egypt

only to the future. I wouldn't want to risk accidentally killing any of my ancestors.

Fast forward to christmas please.

Woodstock!

or anytime before the 1940's when everything substance wise was legal. Psilocybin, LSD, peyote, marijuana...

I´d fast forward to 10 years from now. I would like to see where I am. If I like it I will keep doing what I´m doing. If I don´t I will fix things.

Would you risk killing any of your kids or grand kids? By the way, by the way, I could go back and kill your ancestors for you. But from fun to all seriousness, a valid scientific theory (that considers alternate realities...) says no paradox would occur, because you'd go back to an alternative branch of reality.

I'd go back to when I was a kid and tell myself how to pick up girls.

I would go back and destroy a certain meddlesome Time Lord...

ok, firstly- there's no such thing as a "valid scientific theory" regarding time travel. there are many theories, and they are all just that. theories.

secondly- I really don't care about killing my kids and grandkids, because that wouldn't affect my existence, whether killing my ancestors would result in me never being born.

so if we're talking about fairytale reality- I'd go to the future to get all the sports games results and lottery numbers and stock market trends so that I could get rich in this time :p or I'd go back to the middle ages to freak out all the people with my freakishly accurate predictions which in turn would make them believe I was god and worship my person

I think the future would be more interesting. I'm not much interested in the past.

Although, it may perhaps be enlightening in one way or another to visit Jesus.

seriously, how many people have you accidentally killed in the 26 years you've been on this earth?

I think you'd be okay.

I was talking more about starting a chain of events that would lead to my ancestors either dying or or changing their course of life. for example- if I was to go back in time to kill Hitler and save all the Jews, then my grandfather would never have met my grandmother so I'd never have been born- i.e. killing Hitler would equal suicide.

you seriously thought I meant it literally? lolz

I'd fast forward and live on the first dyson sphere.

You killed the joke in (that considers alternate realities...).

If the linear time theory is the currently accepted theory, there are two possible outcomes:
- You would seize to exist before you pass your first nanosecond back to the past.
- You would be able to go back as an observer, but would be unable to modify anything, because the time is then set in stone - so to speak.

The last possibility, where you would be able to change anything, would cause logical contradictions and thus paradoxes. I don't believe our reality supports paradoxes at all, so I deem this possibility an impossibility.

Wow, that's exactly what Jesus did.



I bet you'd find a lonely drunkard who rambles about irrational symbolistic nonsense between repeated mumbles of "I drink wine like it was water" and "No more wine? Drink my blood instead! It should even taste like wine by now."

But you could also have a I am my one grandfather scenerio,as nasty as that sounds I could also find the truth about the kennedy assassination and other mysteries and prevent bad event all the while becoming rich and enjoying myself.I will also see the future to see if I can prevent any evils in the present.

I don't think that kind of man would have caused quite such an uproar for the past couple thousand years. At the very least he must have been some charisma-abundant master communicator/manipulator to have incited the following he has to this very day.

Shouldn't the question be phrased "When would you go if you had a time machine?"
