Time travel

If you could travel in time back to the past or into the future where would you like to go, not a "regrets I have from my past" but perhaps a period of the past or future that interests you. I do like the series Goodnight sweetheart with Gary Sparrow (Nicholas Lyndhurst) and all the scrapes he gets himself into.

The Victorian age so I can ask my Gt.Gt. Grandparents all about their lives and ancestors and put names to the people in an old photo album.

Re: Time travel

I would definately like to go into the future.
I watch that many programmes about the future and the mess that we make of the planet, i would like to see if half of what is written does happen.
If not breath a sigh of relief.

Re: Time travel

First stop would be Medieval England to see if it is actually like I've read about. After a short stay there, I would then hop over to Ireland in the 5th or 6th Century to see if that is like I've read about.

Re: Time travel

I loved Goodnight Sweetheart to a brillant series.
I have so many places id like to go to !st Id like to see my Dads late teens to see if he really was as good as he made out , never smoked drank stayed out late and did all his home work ect... I never believed him.
Id also like to see from the day my house was built 250 years ago as a barn, and step forward in time to see how it revloved to the house it is today. Id like to meet and talk to Einstein. Plus Id like to go forward to see how old I live to so I know how to budget my savings, as Im leaving nothing to no one and hope to owe no one anything.... Id like to spend my last 4pounds on a pint and die quietly in the corner as i sip my last drop.... Id also like to see if the future is going to be as bad as I think it is going to be ..... oh I could go on for ever going back to times where the story written in history is a little grey just to see what the thruth really was ...

Re: Time travel

Think about this-- My screen was blank before I typed this; however I had already thought what I was going to type. A future event, as envisaged in my thought passes quickly through the present then instantly becomes the past.
Our grasp of what we understand as time is limited and moves forward only, or does it ? Consider this-- What if we could step outside of time?
What if the order became, future, present and past, doesn’t seem difficult as I have already described that order above, or present and present. Any of these last scenarios points at time being flexible, unstable even.
If the future comes first, the course of events in our lives must have been pre arranged. Already happened & therefore unchangeable/.
Present, future & past become one thing, pre existing & co existing.
Finally could it be that events we now think of as past are confirmation of events which have already occurred.
　
What do you think?

Re: Time travel

Dont know what to make of your scenario there Robert, but then I'm not that bright I guess - matters of science do confuse the issue for me....
What I would say tho' is I can and do - comment from experience, has this happened to you... Someone can be talking to me and I know what they are gonna say next and next and next.... its strange, like having that feeling you've been somewhere before - yet you haven't or that feeling of De'ja vu - an event you feel has happened before to you ....

Re: Time travel

Good Night Sweetheart was wartime, no way do I want that again.
I would like to go back to the day we were wed, I would love to do it again, with the same lovely person I married.
