If you could travel through time...

Actually, there is something called the many worlds solution to quantum uncertainty which if true would mean that when you go back in time and change something you would essentially be creating a new parallel universe that you would be going forward with, and there wouldn't be any sort of paradox.

 

I've heard of the many solution but the problem is that while this timeline goes on you're checking out this timeline into another timeline so if you tried to travel back to the present you would be travelling back to the present of the altered timeline.

 

What if you could go back, but could never come forward again... where would you want to end up?

 

Louise: You're the best thing in a thousand years, Bill.

 

There's a ton I'd love to do. I'd of course start out with lotto numbers, and I'd also hit Vegas with a sports almanac a la Biff in Back to the Future 2. This would all lead to my eventual take over of the world.

I'd also visit areas of time that would allow me to know the truth. You know: things like Roswell, JFK's assassination....that sort of stuff.

As far as women, here's my #1 of ALL time:

Ahh....Marilyn.

 

Yeah. If only coach would've put you in.

 

I'd go to the future first to stock up on cool gadgets before going to a time when bathing or clean medicine was reserved for the rich folk.

If the time machine and anything inside it had a designated marker, you could set it to 2006a instead of 2006b.

It would give another dimension of travel for your time machine.

 

I'd go back to 1955 and save James Dean from that auto accident and then make him marry me.

 

I fumbled an Oreo today and it went into my milk, making it sink to the bottom where I couldn't get it. I'd come back in time and make sure I had 2 hands on that thing.

 

Id go back to 1984 and draft Jordan instead of Hakeem.


But seriously, 6 championships and arguambly the greatest player in history is better than 2

 

I'd go back in time and marry my best friends wife instead of my own wife.

 

I would go back to just before the space race and tell JFK that instead of sending a man to the moon our goal should be a practical solar powered car.

I'd go back to Jesus time and give him some morphine so it would have to hurt so much when he was dying for our sins.

I'd go back and smack the **** outta Eve and tell her to leave the tree of knowledge of good and evil the **** alone.

 

but then arguably we would have to take pippen too...

id rather stick with hakeem.

if i went back, shoot...

stop the splitting of palestine... the world would be a much better place if that event hadn't taken place.

stop the people who tore down the babri masjid in bombay - that would save a decade worth of riots.

stop the splitting of india and pakistan - save millions of lives, and what could possibly have been a huge superpower with their combined resources and minds.

 

I do realize that. There are a couple of things about that that would moderate it.

The ladies of the of the upper classes would perfume themselves like crazy.

There was the occasional oddball who would bathe every morning. One queen in France was said to maintain her beauty because even in the winter months she took cold baths every day.

Mostly it would take some adjusting on my part. But after living there long enough I would adjust, or try and start a new bathing fad.


As for my slavery part, I chose the the era starting the worst period of slavery. I understand that it started long before that, but if I changed slavery back then, the worst period of it would still be able to have slaves.
