As everybody most likely knows, messing with the past is not such a great idea, considering it would affect the future, so you just cannot mess with the past. Although, it does depend what you want to mess with. As a comparison, if I were to visit the past and introduce an invention of our present time to someone back there, it would change the history of that invention, most likely, but if I were to tell someone when a family member of theirs would pass away, that could result in a positive way, causing that human being to protect whoever the person that will pass away eventually. So, as you notice, you cannot just mess with the past because you think it is enjoyable. Think before you would because I am certain I would. |

I wouldn't do too much, that's for sure. Awful things could happen if you mess with the past... I would try, however, to undo any unfavorable actions that I regret I have carried out long ago. Even that is risky... |

Since so many are talking about how messing with the past would mess up the future, I think I'd like to clarify. Messing up the past would push you into an alternate timeline than the current one. You might be forever stuck there dealing with the consequences of your changes. However, the timeline you left would still be intact and move forward without damage. My analysis of this comes from looking at the implications of the fourth and fifth dimensions, if duration is truly the fourth dimension. |

greenluigi : No one person created school. School and education has been around as long as someone wanted to learn something. You would have to stop the entire US industrial age in order to not have the public school system and curriculum we have today, which mainly consists of learning a bunch of rules and regurgitating information, perfect for the nation's little workers. I personally would not change the past, even if to kill Hitler or something like that. You never know what the snowball effect would be, such as many people not escaping the war and finding love in the US. Therefore, hundreds of thousands of people wouldn't exist. Anything else could happen in an alternate timeline, and I wouldn't want to try my chances. I personally would not change the past, even if to kill Hitler or something like that.

Honestly, the very concept of time-travel is either not truly worth bothering with in most situations or completely incomprehensible to human minds. Every person who has ever thought of the concept of time-travel has ended up with the same question that cannot be answered:if you were to go back in time and kill one of your parents, or one of the members of the family tree that led to your birth, what would happen? If we attempt to look at it logically, it results in an infinite logical loop:if you get rid of your parents, you could not be born in your current state, which would make you stop existing. But, how could the dead family member have been killed, had you not existed there to kill him? But, if you did exist, you would still, theoretically, follow the exact same action, as long as nothing else was changed, and therefore, you could not exist...This is what is known as a "time paradox," or the "grandfather paradox." Even if we ignore that one question, the consequences of time-travel would be frighteningly severe, and could never be worth the cost. The simplest change could affect hundreds of thousands, millions, or even billions of people. Although it IS a typical 80's movie, Back to the Future actually uses time-travel in a relatively realistic way:as soon as Marty comes back to the future, all of the things that he did and all of the things that he changed were reflected in the present that he had created.

Well I have done a lot more thinking since my last post and I still would like to mess with the past.. I don't think it would mess up the future like I thought before. If you messed up anything you would get stuck somewhere and you wouldn't have to deal with the future.. I think it would be pretty awesome to change the past but I think about it and what could the future be like.. I guess I would have to wait and see :p |

I wouldn't even mess with one tiny detail like the prevention of someone's birth because that could do alot of bad to the present world as we know it. |

All I can think of to say here, and only because my inner Whovian is screaming at me to post it is... "Sorry... fixed point in time. I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry." But I feel if time travel were real, this would be a reason to not mess with giant things in time like Lincoln's assassination. However, I doubt that letting a note for myself to not talk to a certain person because it will prevent awful things from happening in my future would hurt any. In ways, I feel like time travel would help some people but certain people could destroy the world with it. Even Back to the Future showed what could happen if you mess up a time stream to much. And don't get me started on The Butterfly Effect. "Sorry... fixed point in time. I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry."

Yes, I'd alter lots of things, I'd also learn many lost things, such things like Aztec weaving, and lost Chinese inventions. |

What exactly is this time machine supposed to do? It could do anything. It could simply simulate time and events without actually changing true time. Like I would be a floating ghost watching on or something. It could be what the rest of you guys seem to be describing. If it was this simulator time machine then I would definitely mess around with that time. I'm curious how things would turn out if I altered it. However if it was the actual time machine, I wouldn't even touch it. Everything could be screwed up just because one guy was interested in the other outcomes. You know what they say 'Curiosity killed the cat!' If it was this simulator time machine then I would definitely mess around with that time. I'm curious how things would turn out if I altered it.

I can't ignore a few of these responses any longer, so I would like to say a few more words. While someone might think they are doing a great thing by preventing an assassination, like the assassination of Abraham Lincoln or John F. Kennedy, think of what that could do to the current time stream. Both Lincoln and Kennedy would have done so much more with life, yes, but if we saved Lincoln, would Kennedy have ended up being President of the United States? Would things that sound small and helpful like saving a person from their assassination really be beneficial to today's society? I hate to bring up Doctor Who again, but Father's Day, the episode where Rose saves her father from his inevitable death created a paradox. It altered things in horrible ways and ultimately Spoiler: Also, introducing modern technology to people before it would have possibly been considered is not only going to take prestige from the inventor who would have never invented it and thus the modern technology would never exist in the first place. I'm not talking about creating a new mix of alcoholic drink, I'm talking about if you bring a computer to the past, William Oughtred would have never came up with his first "computer" and Charles Babbage would have never considered modifying it to create what is now considered the first modern day computer. If something already exists, how are the inventors that would be found in the future from that point going to invent it. Everything would go poof, and if I assume correctly, your time machine would also go poof and quite possibly you could be stuck in the past or cease to exist.Rose ended up having to watch her father kill himself to protect his family, although it meant that he knew Rose grew up to be a beautiful young woman in the end. Again, if you stopped a war from happening, let's just bring up World War 2 and that whole thing with that mad man named Hitler for a second. If we stopped Hitler before he reigned over Nazi Germany, we would save many people. This is a great thing, right? Probably not. Nazi Germany took steps to ban vivisection, endorsed animal conservation thus saving many different species which also helped push for nature conservation. They tried to ban tobacco which is a great idea because cigarettes were killing people and Hitler himself couldn't stand to see people light up in the same room as him. Smoking in restaurants and public transport systems was banned on the grounds of public health. Public welfare programs were instated. While the very unfortunate people who were killed in the regime had their belongings stolen from them, which is bad, they were giving it to poor people. While it was a giant propaganda move, it instilled a great public feeling to help those in need. We wouldn't have the Volkswagen, or "The People's Car" or the Autobahn. The father of modern rockets, Wernher Von Braun, would have never made his contributions to NASA because he would have never became a United States naturalized citizen or messed with rocket science without the giant war that was happening at the time. Modern day film and fashion would probably be much different than it is now without the Nazi's innovations. While the Nazi's performed unethical medical procedures at the time of their reign, we still discretely use today, like seeing how hypothermia affected the human body and how to cure it. Not even if someone stopped a war, what if the other side of the war won? What would the world be like if Hitler ended up winning because someone thought it would be a wonderful idea? What if you went back in time to watch events unfold without disturbing the natural flow of things? Well, sure, just don't get hurt, die, talk to anybody, be seen by anybody, wear the wrong clothing, speak out of turn, offend anybody... the list goes on for what seems like forever. Really, today is much different than the past. While I agree that it would be super cool to see things that I missed, like Woodstock and small things like that, watching large events unfold like Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech would probably not go over so well with certain people. While I like how someone said that Twilight would never be invented, you could just stop her from writing the books and give her an actual job that took away her ability to write. I see nothing wrong with that change in the world because by god, my life would have been better in high school without the whole "What team are you on? Team Edward or Team Jacob?" I would have also never tried to fit in with them and would have a few extra dollars in my wallet. As for making myself rich, I'd worry that I wouldn't be on the same life track as I would be on now. Trust me, I wouldn't be on the same track. I would probably not end up finding a time machine either. Or you know, I could lose everybody I hold close to me because I would probably be a spoiled little rich snob without a heart. I remember watching an episode of Family Matters dealing with this... Another person commented on what would happen if you accidentally killed someone in your family tree that would lead to your non-existence. What if you killed someone that led to someone else that is close to you now non-existence, or even someone who managed to do something great and wonderful for the world now. Nawh bro, I'm cool. I personally believe in other dimensions because I often think about what I could possibly do differently in my life, or what would have happened if I did this instead of this. I know it might seem completely crazy to some people, but I imagine that for everything one person does in their life that could have been done differently, I suggest that an alternate reality would be created with the person doing the opposite of what they have done. What if that man didn't drink and drive and kill that small child? What would happen if I kept up with cheer leading practice as a child? What would have happened if I told that guy I liked him and ignored the future 6,000 miles of distance that would have been between us now? What would have happened if I kept up with P90X and found modifications and space to do it in my room instead of letting my parents drag me down and make me quit? What if I never bought DVD's after I realized everything could be streamed or downloaded free on the Internet? It's fascinating to think about. Would I use a time machine? I still stand by my previous answer of yes! I would leave myself notes in my locker when I had a bad day to know that it gets better or to not bother with fitting in with certain people. It would change where I am today, but I think it would be for the better. I would not be so bitter and my closer friends would not have to worry about me. As for changing major things in history because you think it would help people, or you think it's funny or would make the world a better place... well, I honestly hope you never get to play with a time machine. A time machine simulator maybe, but not an actual time machine. While someone might think they are doing a great thing by preventing an assassination, like the assassination of Abraham Lincoln or John F. Kennedy, think of what that could do to the current time stream. Both Lincoln and Kennedy would have done so much more with life, yes, but if we saved Lincoln, would Kennedy have ended up being President of the United States?

While I agree that it would be super cool to see things that I missed, like Woodstock and small things like that, watching large events unfold like Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech would probably not go over so well with certain people. While I like how someone said that Twilight would never be invented, you could just stop her from writing the books and give her an actual job that took away her ability to write. I see nothing wrong with that change in the world because by god, my life would have been better in high school without the whole "What team are you on? Team Edward or Team Jacob?" I would have also never tried to fit in with them and would have a few extra dollars in my wallet. As for making myself rich, I'd worry that I wouldn't be on the same life track as I would be on now. Trust me, I wouldn't be on the same track. I would probably not end up finding a time machine either. Or you know, I could lose everybody I hold close to me because I would probably be a spoiled little rich snob without a heart. I remember watching an episode of Family Matters dealing with this... Another person commented on what would happen if you accidentally killed someone in your family tree that would lead to your non-existence. What if you killed someone that led to someone else that is close to you now non-existence, or even someone who managed to do something great and wonderful for the world now. Nawh bro, I'm cool. I personally believe in other dimensions because I often think about what I could possibly do differently in my life, or what would have happened if I did this instead of this. I know it might seem completely crazy to some people, but I imagine that for everything one person does in their life that could have been done differently, I suggest that an alternate reality would be created with the person doing the opposite of what they have done. What if that man didn't drink and drive and kill that small child? What would happen if I kept up with cheer leading practice as a child? What would have happened if I told that guy I liked him and ignored the future 6,000 miles of distance that would have been between us now? What would have happened if I kept up with P90X and found modifications and space to do it in my room instead of letting my parents drag me down and make me quit? What if I never bought DVD's after I realized everything could be streamed or downloaded free on the Internet? It's fascinating to think about. Would I use a time machine? I still stand by my previous answer of yes! I would leave myself notes in my locker when I had a bad day to know that it gets better or to not bother with fitting in with certain people. It would change where I am today, but I think it would be for the better. I would not be so bitter and my closer friends would not have to worry about me. As for changing major things in history because you think it would help people, or you think it's funny or would make the world a better place... well, I honestly hope you never get to play with a time machine. A time machine simulator maybe, but not an actual time machine. |

Chewy2014 : damn Chewy, you really said a mouthful right there I'm sure people dont really think about the consequences about altering the past changing 1 thing in the past can screw up the present/future in many ways I'm sure people dont really think about the consequences about altering the past changing 1 thing in the past can screw up the present/future in many ways |

I would go to the past to stop myself from getting into trouble because I used to get in trouble a lot when I was little. And I would go back to stop myself from embarrassing moments |

You're damned right I would. I'd watch every historical event that piqued my interest. I can't agree with that "If you change one little thing it could have DRASTIC consequences" thing, no one has tried so no one knows. Maybe very little to nothing would change at all. |

I would really, really, really want to change the past. I have made a bunch of mistakes that I wish I could do over, but I know that it would only end in calamity if I went back in time. Events could easily change only surrounding myself, but they could change other events too. It would start a really bad chain reaction that could even cause WWIII! :O Probably not anywhere near that bad, unless I changed important historical events, but it still is the same principle. So, I'll have to go with no, I would not mess with the past. |

I would probably move some things to a storage unit before tropical storm lee hits a few years back. I lost a lot of stuff, and I was just angry, confused, and upset. it was on of the darkest moments of my life. |

No I might however go back in time to find out how an historical event played or really happened or just to see how things used to be. I wouldn't mess with things as I think it's wiser not to considering what consequences it could have. I could however use it to get ahead of everyone in school hm... |

I have no regrets so I wouldn't want to mess up things in the past. I don't want to find out the consequences of it happening. |
