If you had your very own time machine what would you do, and why?

I would love to travel forward in time and see just how our wonderful island paradise has changed. I would also travel back in time to see how wonderful and simple life in Hawai'i actually was. Aren't you curious about that?\n\nHawai'i no ka oi bruddah!!!

Depends. You want to go forward or back. \nI *cough* actually have an entire theory about time travel. \nAnd that is, that there can only be one of you in existence at a time. Thus- if you go forward your putting yourself in your future self's body. And if you go back your putting yourself in your younger self body.\nBut- if I'm wrong and quantum physics 'same thing in countless positions at the same time' is right. Then you can be in two places at once. Therefore time travel- where you keep the machine and keep yourself how it is now, is possible. Then... I have no idea how you would go about it.\n\nIf anyone tells you to plug in the toaster and stick a fork in where the toast is supposed to come out though. Don't do it. Them electrical burns hurt.

I don't accept the premise that a time machine is possible, therefore I can't answer such a question, even hypothetically. I can give you a proof that time travel into the past is impossible. It goes like this. If time travel into the past were possible, then at some time in the future, the means to travel into the past will be developed. That being the case, then we could expect to have been visited by time travelers from the future, but we have not. Ergo, time travel into the past is impossible. However, time travel into the future is possible. From the time I started typing this answer, up to now, I have traveled into the future about two minutes. However, it is still now. It is always the present. Always and forever.

I have a time machine...\nWe'll be back by morning, and if we find a club, what happens in Volos stays in Volos.

this is by far the best question iv ever read on this site, and fun!\ni put a time capsule together when i was about 15 years old. it was back in Sacramento, CA and it was on a rainy day. i had nothing to do. so i put together some of my little things. like my fav tshirt. a note. i dont remember what i wrote. then some toys. i really dont remember much. but becus of your question i remembered it. i am now in Arizona and wish so badly to go and dig it up. but i really dont think its still there. oh well\nif i could do it again. id put pictures of my family and my husband. i would write a note telling them to contact me. i would maybe put some sand and rocks to represent Arizona.

I WOULD say my mp3 player.....but it was stolen!.....i guess i could manage without material things, things like  family are much more important!!!! (well, i THINK i might need, food and water.......MAYBE>>>\n\n=) Nice Question (btw, how do i pronounce your name?)\n\n=)

A time machine.\n\nI have always been fascinated with the concept of time travel, changing the past and seeing the future.  \n\nActually, I think most people are. \n\nMost have thought "What if" I could go back in time and rearrange a key event in their past or in history. \n\nThe future, of course, would just be fun to gaze on.  So many things have changed in the last 100 years, it's difficult to imagine where we might be in another 1000 years...if we don't destroy ourselves.\n\n...but even that would be fascinating to see:\n\n"The day the earth died".

I would go back to about 400,000 years ago in what is now Southern Iraq or to about 33,000 years ago in the same area.  That is because I am VERY curious about what was going on there...\n\nHowever, I would NOT want to stay there and would DREAD going back in time to ANY place on the earth.  Most all previous times in nearly all places were very, very dangerous compared to living now.\n\nThe time we are born into is the best one for us.  \n\nNo matter what time a person is born into, it is their duty to WORK in THE PRESENT MOMENT of their time in order to make a BETTER FUTURE.\n\nYou can find out a little bit more about this on my blog  http://360.yahoo.com/ki_te_moana

Buy a time machine from eBay and go back to the time before you installed ubuntu.

I would go back to see my sister.  She passed away almost four years ago, and I would give almost anything to see her again :)

I would go to the distant future and speak with people who perhaps allready have the time machine so I could understand how to use it carefully without disrupting the continuum. I would be careful on going to the future to get reports on sports games and the stock market because each future you visit is only one particular future, and with each passing second it creates a completely differrent future. I also might take christians and other religeous fanatics to the far distant past to prove to them that evolution occured once and for all and their bible thumping is basicaly meaningless. However this could also be dangerous because any foreign disease on us, or exhaled by us that was exposed to the primordial world could totaly change what we know to be current history. Every invention created by us happens very carefully, we make nothing before we are ready. If (in total speculation) a future time traveller visited the past he would have all precautions accounted for, such as disease, mistakes, and keeping a low profile. In our century we have no such precautions. So if I ever did get a hold of a time machine, I would return it to whoever it came from. Another problem with using a time machine to change the past or "the grandfather" paradox is Richard Feynmans theory of "a particle will take every possible path in space time" meaning if I went back and changed a past, I would change the past in a totaly differrent time frame then the temporal continuum I am used to, so when I returned everything would be the same. However I would be still messing with the universe. Theirfore if I ever found a empty time machine I would indeed leave it alone, or return it to the big temporal lost and found. We are not ready for such technology, and probaly wont be for a long time.

It's not possible physically. But, what is reality? it's whatever your mind see it as. It's more practical to take some drug and live in some hallucination, of a different reality, than to really go back physically to change the reality.\n\nWhy do u want to goto the past or future? do u want to change something in your favour? Your action would probably triggers a series of event that would again change what u tried to change, or if someone else does not like how u changed thing, they'd simply go back and change things again if time travel is at all possible. These people who does not have a time machine would eventually have one given infinite time to learn to make one and if time travelling is possible, they do indeed have infinite time. In the end, u would not be able to tell the outcome.\n\n\nThe easiest and laziest way to get a time machine is to give yourself one. Once u r done using it, travel back into time to your past and give yourself the time machine... which u got from yourself in the "past".

That is a scary thought, just one wrong person or even one wrong move and the world could be thrown into a parallel time or alternate universe, but would someone with a time machine be able to fix what went wrong. Then I think of what good even I could or what  I would want to go back and "fix" warn myself or loved ones of mistakes, prevent some deaths, but I know that this is not my place and I would not want to "play" God, Greed would probably play into it and I would want to play the lottery or something equally greedy. Great Question!!! Thanks for getting me to think about this.

I would go back in time and change a mistake I made some years back so I might not be in the situation I am in today. Sorry, won't go into further information on that.

Make a time machine and go back to the seventies.
