Hey Pandas, If You Had A Time Machine What Would You Do? (Closed)

I would go back to see my two dead dogs, mabye play with them before I leave.

I would travel to 2018. Last day of kindergarten. Had to sag a big speech in front of the middle schools and high schoolers because that were watching for a project I was so nervous I messed up!😜

I would definitely go back to last fall/winter and stop myself from doing some stuff.

I would:
1 see what my future looks like
2 get perfect grades bc now I remember the answer
3 talk to my younger self and try to be more liek her: brave, funny, relaxed , happy
4 meet my grandmother who died before I was born . My family always talks about her and I’m super curious

So here's my problem with time travel.

The earth is rotating, and orbiting around the sun, which is rotating around the galaxy. So the Earth will never be in the same location. AND, given that the speeds of all of those are variable, it's almost a certainty that I'd appear in the middle of open space.

So I'd need to travel time AND space. (Lets just pretend that someone was capable of doing those impossible calculations) If I do that, I'd be subject to the Temporal paradox and only be able to do things that are consistent with the way things needed to happen to make what happened happen. Essentially loosing my free will!

That means I'd go to the future. Given that it hasn't happened yet, there wouldn't be anything there, so I couldn't get there until it had happened. So I could only go forward at a rate of 1 minute per minute. Which we're already doing!

But say I could increase gravity locally, and find a way survive it's effects, tis will slow time itself, after a short time the future will have happened. But now, what I've left has now gone and since we've already established the difficulty in going back in time, I'm now stuck with the knowledge that my dogs are no longer alive.

So if I had that technology, I'd just go in there with my dogs and spend eternity with them.

However, in a hypothetical situation where it were possible to go back or forth in time... I'd go play with the dogs that I've lost.

Go to future and check if I got to live the life i wanted or not.

shoot mindy kaling before she can desecrate the scooby doo franchise

Tell my 13 year old self to hang in there. It does get better. But go to college a little sooner (don't wait till you're pushing 50 to get that bachelor's degree 😁)

I would go back and look for some lost stuff i guess

Go back in time & try to figure out why I am the way I am

Absolutely nothing. Sorry but everything, the good and the bad has brought me to the point i am in my life. Who the heck knows that if Hitler was killed earlier than how that would change our world today. The embarrassing orange man needed to be elected to bring me to the spot i am now.

Nothing. I did commit mistakes but I learned from them.

idk

Teach my younger self to be stronger and not give a c**p about what others say about him. As well as to teach him some of my skills early. As well as possibly just get a bit of payback from some bullies.

And for an alternative to my first post, probably live in the 60s and fight for civil rights like Fred Hampton or Reverend King, or 70s and 80s, My personality and choice of outfits I think matches those eras.

I would go back in time and kill Karl Marx before he wrote that book of trash.

I'd go back and call my best friend every time I thought about her before it was too late and now I can never call her again.

I would go back to I met my 5th grade best friend and never become friends with her. Why? Because she’s the reason why I struggled with my mental health to the point that today I still receive physical therapy because I thought I was worthless. Doing much better tho! Thank God✋😅

I would get rid of Covid before it happened
Also I would buy stocks to get myself rich LOL

I would do a stargate kind of thing: Travelling back in Time to the ancient roman empire but only after I hired some guards and after packing a lot of things like modern medicine, Laptop with solar charger and modern weaponry
