What the first thing you'd do with a time machine (wrong answers only)?

Didn't Chris Rea turn this into an art form via The Turdis & Time Transit

Can we take anything back with us?

Itd be quite funny to take a crate full of Stingers or a couple of F22's back to Pearl Harbour.

Or sneak into Hitlers bunker and steal the rounds from his Luger.

Or maybe arrive in the trenches of WWI with a van load of SADMs.

Or take a Squadron of GE Lightnings to the Battle of Britain.....Take that Adolf!

I'd go and put itching powder in the Mona Lisa's drawers. See if she can maintain a serene expression after that.

Id plant evidence on Escarpment Richard that'd get him imprisoned, and thus safe generations of music lovers from suffering.

Being in my later years (more past than future) I sometimes think about how time is said to be bidirectional (or might be bidirectional at least at the quantum level) but if I could jump back to my childhood and relive everything again, good, bad & disastrous, no changes then I would chose to do so.

Similarly, I love the idea of being able to watch the future of the planet and Universe long term even if I can't be part of it. I'd love to see where we as a species are in 100 years, 200 years, etc.. Will we sort ourselves out or continue our decline being fully aware of what we are doing (ev destroying the only place we have to live).

Don't want any answers about going back and killing Hitler,

I already did it. 1945 Berlin was bloody loud!!

Id go back and arm wrestle Winston Churchill, ask Patton for his autograph, and give Montgomery a wedgie.

Read The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August, by Clair North. It goes a bit bizarre at some stage but it's thought provoking.

Just got back from trip back to the sixties. Managed to hide a pair of Paul McCartney's shoes, on the day he was doing a photo shoot for an album cover.

I wonder if he found them ?

 

[Drago]

Id go back to a day before the Abby Road photo shoot and paint over the pedestrian crossing.

Probably go back to the day that I met my current wife and make sure I go to a different bar for a drink.

I'd go back to the same place & time that I met my wife and then bring her back to now with me; so that I had two identical lovely ladies!

I'd go back to Berlin, 1961 and remove the bricks from the Wall overnight and sell them to local builders for new housing

You want to repeat the experience in stereo?

I would go back to the early 1970s and buy a brand new Ferrari Dino for about £6000. After that, I would go back to about 1969 and get the £50 David Hockney engraving of an aubergine from that small gallery in Bond Street.
