Fun things to do with a time machine.

Unless your creating a divergent timeline and you still have access back to our timeline were the changes wouldn't have been experienced. At that point though you would in essence have the power of God creating worlds of your choosing by altering things from what they would have been.

But if you had access to both timelines, essentially two universes, tada...... Mirror Universe created haha. Enjoy your new empire.

Actually I could control more than just two. Constantly going back creating yet another timeline to my liking. Also using my advanced technology to inspire respect,love or fear depending on what I am trying to do. Using my doubles as fake me's to maintain order while I am away! For example if I wanted to turn the White House into a cool haunted house for Halloween I would first need to take control of that America, Wait for construction and while I can move forward to the end result in a matter of minutes the construction process would still have to go to slow way so I could just put my proxy in charge of getting it done until I return again in 10 year or however long it takes which would be 10 years for them but only a few minutes for me.

Or an instant reset button (and any events don't affect you). If I had that, it's more a case of what wouldn't I do because I'd like to see how history unfolds with just a nudge here and there.

With time travel you can have both and more. Some worlds were your a God or ruler., others for, what if, experiments to see what would have happened if this and this happened instead of what happened and then nostiga worlds were you don't really do any changes. You just go spend a short amount of time to just experience the past, including a past you lived through just to experience it. Granted these world would eventually radically change into something else as well but if your their for a month or so you wouldn't really notice I think. I guess it would depend on your impact on the world as far as how fast the Butterfly Effect took hold to a point where, lets say 1994 stops feeling like the 1994 you remembered if that was the year you went to.

One thing I would NOT do would be to go back and change historical events. You never know - you might end up with a world that's worse than the one you left.

For example, let's say you go back and prevent 9/11. That sounds like a laudable goal, but what if bin Laden gets wind of what happened? He might try a nuke next. See where this is leading?

And if you go back and, for example, kill Hitler as a teenager, what happens then? Does the Soviet Union take over the world? Or does Hitler just get replaced by somebody else, and once you get back, your superiors say "Why didn't you kill von Lederhosen like we asked you to?"

You really can't afford to take that risk.

That is why would only observe things, and take every precaution I could not to change things in any significant way. The hard part would be avoiding the things that seem minor but end up having a major effect in the future. Bump into once person in the distant past and before you know you've changed all of history because when you bumped into that person you knocked them away from their significant other, and a major family line was never started and we never got a Julius Ceasar, or a George Washington, or JFK.

I would guess that most of the fruits and vegetables we consume today are different from what used to be available, due to long histories of selective cultivation.


I believe that would be sassafras, which was traditionally used in root beer and also consumed as a tea. It was banned in the US due to possible health risks. In recent years, it has been reintroduced in a form which has the toxic elements removed. But it doesn't seem to have caught on in mainstream root beer production. Maybe some of the craft small-batch varieties use it.

I'm pretty sure I've seen at least one or two of the small companies use. I want to say I have a vague memories of trying one, and actually thinking it tasted weird.

Even the most thought out precaution would not stop the butterfly effect. Think about it. Just breathing the air and have air flow over you would create a alteration that would eventually play out in massive changes. Might take longer to happen but it would eventually effect everything.

How far back could you go I wonder, see the first humans, visit with Adam and Eve. Actually that could be fruitful.

 

[Jayson1]

In theory one could maybe go back to the Dinosaurs but one thing to think about is we could all get a disease or give a disease to people or Dinosaurs in the past because are immunity system would be different.

What about Adam and Eve, they were perfect humans probably immune to everything when they were in the garden. Visiting them wouldn't be risky.

Assuming they existed of course and you didn't just materialize in some vacant marshland or desert and nothing was there.

That would be tricky just figuring out not just when but where to go to find Adam and Eve. In essence you don't really know what year to go to and once you get there what part of the planet and and even then your looking at finding the only two humans on the planet. Even today if all humans disappeared and only two were left and you kind of knew where they were at it would be hard to find them.

Before or after....? RFK surviving would be a huge shift in the timeline no doubt. Maybe bigger than JFK.

Yeah I know location, location.

I'd ask God, well hey God was on Earth at that time so I'd yell out "Hey God can you direct me to Adam and Eve's place? Toodle pip"
