Do you prefer to travel to the future or travel back to the future and why.?

Both. I wanna see my great grand children grow and I wanna help my parents before I was born.

I would love to see time travel available, but I believe to go back and prevent a part of history would be wrong. It would change the future for everyone. I loved the TV show "Quantum Leap", but I always thought there was something wrong about changing history.

There is no such thing as time travel, it's a physical impossibility. The reason we haven't had any visitors from the future is because time travel simply cannot occur.

I have always thought about this! I would either go back to like the 20's or go back when my parents were kids! I think like back then was sooo much more peacful! Didn't have all the violence and hate we have today! I would love to see what life was like for my parents when they were growing up!

You first have to decide what you mean exactly by 'time travel'. In one sense *everyone* is travelling into the future at the rate of 60 seconds every minute. No big deal. If you go  on a journey at a speed close enough to the speed of light, and return to the earth, you will have aged less than those on the earth by an amount that depends on how fast you were going. So, it is theoretically possible to spend 10 subjective years and come back 30 years in the future. We know this is possible from special relativity and we see effects along this line everyday in particle accelerators. The only problem is getting to high enough speeds. So if you regard this as time travel, there is very concrete proof that such is possible.\n\nBut the real question about time travel is whether you can *return* to your original time. Technically, that involves travelling in a 'closed, timelike curve'. While there are theoretical possibilities for such curves, nothing concrete along these lines has *ever* been seen. Furthermore, some theorists think that such curves are flat out impossible. So if this is what you require for time travel, then there is no hard evidence that it is possible.

I am going to guess Back to the Future.  Marty says it to his uncle when he goes back in time and sees him in his playpen.\n\n\nFunny it was just on tv yesterday.

I would choose to travel the world. I'm a writer, and the inspiration I would get from the wonders of the world would be amazing. It would also be a once-in-a-lifetime experience to meet a million new and interesting people and try new and interesting foods and experiences. I guess I'm a sucker for culture and adventure.

Only if travelling long distances in time costs the same as short distances in time. In all the modes of transport I know, travelling long distances costs more than travelling short distances. Travelling long distances is also more dangerous than travelling short distances. Therefore, users can only afford to make a short ride back in time because a long journey is expensive and dangerous. \n\nSo, suppose it's Monday and Eric is the owner of the first time machine. Eric travels back to last Tuesday. There, his concubines Amie and Atria will be able to take the machine apart, so that Eric can't get back home, but Amie and Atria won't be able to replicate it, because they can't understand how it works, because the crucial part won't be invented until Saturday. The girls will wait until Saturday and then buy a time machine at the same store that Eric bought his. \n\nThus everyone who wants a time machine has to buy one on Saturday at the earliest.

Its when you go back in time and if you stay still....more of you will come back from the future. Example: I go back in time 10 mins and just sit still at a table...10 mins during that...another me arrives and does the same thing...next thing you know....you have 100 of you just sitting still....this would cause the universe to explode.

I don't know if I would choose to go back in time. \nTwo Main Reasons why:\n- I think if I went back in time and saw all the inventions we were lacking that I knew today's luxuries give us (internet, toilets, electric stoves, etc), I think I'd be depressed\n- Being a young woman, even going back 60 years, would probably not be a norm for a woman to go to college and the idea of her supporting herself and not being thrown into a marriage for society's sake\n\nBut, I think if it was only for a few days, the time I would most likely like to go back to is probably the New Testament time and see at least one scene that Jesus was in or that he experienced. Or really - any place in any part of the Bible I think would be awesome to experience from an audience perspective

the future is now the past

The ability to time travel. I could go back and fix anything before it happens.

I'll start you off with the basics and I'm sure some good soul will fill in the details. Firstly, we must define "the past". The past is all time which precedes "the present". \n\nIn the past, dinosaurs roamed the Earth, JFK was shot and I typed the word "granule". In the hit movie "Back To The Future" starring Michael J. Fox, the main protagonist, Marty, travels into the past. \n\nThe past should not be confused with the future, which is that which has not yet happened. In the future, I will have my own jacuzzi.

I like them both and yes Flight of the navigator is underrated it didn't get the hype and the screen time that Back to the future got or the star power.So my pick is Back to the future I was a kid and the hype won me over!

First off, there's the famous Big Paradox:  Suppose you have a time machine, you go back 80 years and accidentally kill your grandfather before he meets your grandmother.  Whoops!  Now you'll never be born!   So you won't kill him, so he'll meet your grandmother and you'll be born and you'll kill him, so you'll never be born and ... See?  That represents a big problem right there, not just with your grandfather but with events in general.\n\nSecondly, as has been noted, if time travel were possible, don't you think that by now we'd have had visitors from the future?  (And no, I don't think they're sneaking around in disguise; why would they?)\n\nFinally: in the universe as we know it, we experience time in one direction only.  If you don't like the way a movie ends, you can rewind it and watch it again, but the ending won't change no matter how many times you do it, or how far you rewind before pushing 'play' again.  So, make the most of time as you move through it.  You won't be able to change it later, so enjoy it now and do things you'll enjoy revisiting in later years with your own 'internal' time travel -- memory.
