Popular Post GarethRDR Posted August 28, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2015 Well, if I could go anywhere, absolutely anywhere at all in time, I think I'd probably choose to go back to a week last Tuesday. I did all the laundry, and then we watched TV. Wow, we won't see the like of those sorts of days again. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) Money making schemes aside, I'd probably just go back to anytime between 1900 and 1960 and have a wander all around the midlands, I'd absolutely love that. Is that a boring answer? Edited August 28, 2015 by Paddywhack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I'd go back to December 28th 1983, Marina Del Rey, California, and tell Dennis Wilson to stop **** about in the water and finish that second album 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted August 29, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted August 29, 2015 Does it alter your timeline, though (the 'butterfly effect ')? There was a woman in January 1976 that I blew it with, and with what I know now I'd fancy another try. But I quite like where I am now, so I wouldn't want to risk buggering that up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 The real obvious answer is to go back and put a shitload of money on a result you already know (or the lotto numbers) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chrisp65 Posted August 29, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2015 We were only having this discussion in the car the other day. At the moment (and it changes all the time) I'd quite like to go back and spend some time in Ethiopia around the late 1960's very early 1970's. A real melting pot of ideas, ruled by an emperor many thought was a god, students trying to bring in something a bit more modern and democratic. Critically, a couple of years before it all turned really bad. I'd like to spend six months or a year, possibly all of 1970, just hanging around Addis Ababa hotel lounges with the slow ceiling fan pushing hot air. A cold drink in my hand, leaning against a wall listening to some half arsed hotel band play ethiopian pop whilst chatting up a tall slim Ethiopian beauty. Yeah, that's me. The missus said I was weird when I gave that as my answer. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted August 29, 2015 Administrator Share Posted August 29, 2015 You can't go back in space-time so I've corrected the thread title (It's like using light years as a measure of time or saying degrees Celsius in place of just Celsius.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awol Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Battle of Hastings,1066. Tell Harold to duck. Norman invasion fails, Saxon rule of England continues. Come back to now and read a history book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely, if you are walking from Birmingham to London in 2015, and you suddenly find yourself in Birmingham in 1995, you have gone 'back' in both space and time?

limpid Posted August 29, 2015 Administrator Share Posted August 29, 2015 Indeed. But "space and time" is not the same as space-time. The former is two concepts the latter is just one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 The faster you go through space the slower you go through time, until you get to the speed of light, at which point your don't actually move through time at all (I think, lol). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I'd go back in time to when I originally created this same thread on Villatalk and then copy my answer as I can't remember what it was.... But I'd guess I said ancient Eqypt as that's an era I've always found fascinating .... One thing I've often wondered , say you could go back to that time and give them something like flight , where would we be now in regards to that technology .... Or would humans evolve technology too fast in a time when they weren't civilised enough and have Wiped ourselves off the planet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
