If you could have a time machine that only allowed you travel from today to any point in the future and back... Or from today to any point in history and back. What would you pick?


Would you go to the future and see how the Earth ends up, maybe mix with aliens, see for yourself how advanced the human race can get, and witness the end of the world.


Would you go back to see your ancestors, see Henry VIII get mad at people, watch Wordsworth write a poem, see what Jesus was really up to.


Would it make a difference to your choice if you could only observe as a ghostly presence?


Does your age make a difference? Most young people instinctivly say future because they are keen to see progress. However most older people say the past, basicly because they want to visit old family members who have long since died.


Remember you can only go one way.

I'd like to spin forward, say, thirty years and see how I've evolved.


My legs will have shrivelled-up, as will my left arm. A single unblinking eye (on a stalk) will protrude from my enlarged head. My right arm will have lost all it's fingers, save for the one that clicks on the mouse.

I would jump forward to the time when time travel is discovered and stop the person who invented it thereby stopping everyone on this forum becoming time touristss disrupting the space time continuum. Otherwise the very fabric of space and time itself will be ripped usunder and this timeline as we know will vanish.


In saying that, if I was successful, I might very well aide my own disapperance from this time line and any future one that I travel to.:'(


On second thoughts, I'll just stay at home...

Oh I got over my Oedipus complex years ago. I just want to see what would happen if I went back and killed him coz then technically I would never have been there to have gone back and killed him but then he would have survived so I would have still been there to go back and kill him :-S


You know I blame him for this actually because he was the one who brought the paradox to my attention one day when I was 8 years old and we were discussing time travel. (I wasn?t holding a gun and I hadn?t made any threatening gestures)

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
