Going back time....

If you was going back time, what would you do?

- For me, I would have to turn back to the days when I was still at school having fun being with my friends but also at the same time, go back to the time when I was 16 and prevent myself from getting depression and meet the me in the past. :lol:

What would you do?

This I would find really interesting, I always wanted to go see what the people looked like back then, especially the animals.
Was there any difference back then? Who knows?
 
Well I'd rather not actually, in the event that I might not be able to return to my own time, which would be kind of difficult if you consider the 10 dimensions theory. Since I'll be in another branch of time (another dimension), then the one I departed from. Who knows where that will lead me?

And I could get killed by dinosaurs. Quite likely, those were some dangerous times. Maybe as a last thing to do before I die.

But ignoring all that, since it's silly travelling back in time anyway, I'd love to go back to the time when art actually meant something and was something revered and respected. Probably right before the rise of impressionistic painting, so at the middle-end of the 19th century, maybe even mixing in some surrealism hehe. I'll have to make do with the materials back then...and learn to live without photoshop, but I'll manage.

And if I live long enough, perhaps I'll meet van Gogh, hah.

Make sure you pack an environmental suit and breathing apparatus or it'll be a short trip ;)
 
@Mad: According to Wilde "all art is quite useless" :D But I know what you mean; we're living in depressing times when bin-bags and a glass of water are deemed "art".
 
Wasn't talking about usefulness. I couldn't care less about it's use to be honest. Even though it can have it's uses culturally, though not anymore. Now it's the media doing the job art used to have.

Naw, was talking about that art and being an artist actually meant something to the people and was well respected. Also a lot more special, since it was a lot less accessible (damn you Photoshop, no wait, I take that back) and mass-produced (damn you Warhol!).
 
The 60s...I cannot believe I wasn't born in the 60s. So I would definately go back to then (not 1960-69 in that sense, it would be the 1963-1972 sixties).
It's more a yearning really. Not wistful, it's stronger than that, it's a very strong yearning. I've wanted to be in the 60s since I was 8. I like this time, but when I get older and more cynical and more well informed I can see myself turning against it.
 
There is an astrophysicist named Stephen Hawking who has an interesting theory regarding time travel. He said that time travel to the future may be possible, but that he doesn't think traveling to the past is possible, otherwise we would know about it. Interesting, but I say that if the theory of alternate dimensions is true, then whatever changes may occur by the result of one's sudden appearance from the future could go unnoticed by us. If the time lines merge or whatever, then to us, things will have always been the way they are, we wouldn't be like, "hey, man, weren't cars not flying yesterday?" Wouldn't make sense.

I suppose I've rambled enough...I'll assume it is possible...

Several things come to mind:

- Visit Nikola Tesla. I would totally help him to get more support on his wireless electricity concept and others, which means that when I returned back to 2010, everything would be far more advanced and I probably wouldn't recognize anything.
- Take a PS2(and tv to plug it into) back to the games of the Atari. I'd take a PS3, but I don't expect to get the thing back, so... better be something cheaper.
- Other mentioned seeing the creation of our planet/Universe... I think that would be a wonderful thing to watch, it would certainly make my list. From the moment of the big bang, up to the creation of our planet... that would be amazing, IMAX wouldn't have **** on that...
- Slap the people who came up with various tv commercials: the Geico gecko and caveman thing, Burger King king, Jack in the Crack's "Jack".. etc. This one would be beneficial to the entire world. :thumbsup:

I wouldn't want to do anything too drastic though... things could change really horribly..
