What one question would you ask a Time Traveler from the future?

[Brent]

Let's say a time traveler from the future is found out by you, or makes himself known to you, so he allows you to ask him ONE question about the future that he will answer, what would your question be? Let's assume he's from at least hundreds of years in the future and may not know certain things like, what are the next winning Lotto numbers

My question would be: If WW3 happens, when?

 

[Zulu Romeo]

I'd politely ask him why he risks creating a temporal paradox through his very unwanted presence in a time period that is not his own contaminating the timeline. Hopefully he'll leave.

 

[Sagart]

When are Liverpool going to win the League Championship again?

 

[All Seeing Eye]

How is anti-gravity achieved??

Then i'll invent it and become rich.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

When are Liverpool going to win the League Championship again?

What do you mean, "when"?

 

[Pingfah]

I ask him where he left the time machine, casually.

 

[FlyingLemons]

I'd ask him about how the time machine worked. And also offer him a place to hide from Real Life Universe fans accusing him of violating canon by travelling back in time.

 

[FPAlpha]

Will we make it or will we destroy earth before we grow up?

 

[captcalhoun]

When are Liverpool going to win the League Championship again?

What do you mean, "when"?

QFMFT

 

[gwud]

If we have met any aliens.

 

[LaxScrutiny]

What are the detailed directions for building a time travel device?

 

[Emher]

When was the internal combustion engine outlawed?

 

[Yassim]

"Oh my god! What is that thing over there?"

when he turns to look, I'd steal his time machine. And not answer any of your questions!

 

[Leroy]

I'd ask him what the cure for Cancer is.

 

[Jono]

Was Jesus for real?

 

[Daneel]

I'd probably like to know if we (humanity) have encountered any intelligent extraterrestrial life yet, or, in a similar vein, if we have travelled to other solar systems.

This is assuming there'd be some sort of rule in place forbidding him or her from revealing how time travel works.

 

[Pingfah]

Of course, he might not know any of these things. He might just be a drunken frat boy on a time travel hazing prank.

 

[An Officer]

I would ask which will be the most revolutionary technology to come... I believe it has been the internet so far... what will come next to make the web look archaic?

I believe technology will only take us so far, and the next epic steps will involve human consciousness itself... just as "talking" was revolutionary, what will happen next? Surely we are still evolving physically and mentally (at a miniscule rate or not)...

Does cheese still exist in the future?

 

[RoJoHen]

Does cheese still exist in the future?

And if not, WHY?!
