Better hypothetical question, is if you could change any function of reality such that it could still work without the interference of other physical laws, what would it be? I'd go for the rules about conservation of energy and mass. So that fat people could never slow down.

I'd go for the ability to turn into a wave at will and either become an internet trolling entity or sneak into places.

No, because I don't wanna end up with half my torso in the ground because I warped a million years in the past and my house happens to be where a mountain once sat. Because then some lovely rear end in a top hat dinosaur would come along and either a) peck at my face or b) poop on me. If I've gotta time travel, I want to be wholly responsible for my own horrible demise.

Some mysteries are meant to remain as such, the world needs to have at least a little magic in it.


Also Quantum Leap and retards are awesome.
Hmm that makes me think... If you were stuck in a quantum leap situation but you had to choose between them would you take one where you had to resolve major problems in the life of destitute people, or would you take one where you were constantly dropped in the life of some high society people and without knowing any of the social codes and dynamics or customs you had to like resolve some business or social problem.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
Time travel is useless without space travel because Earth/the galaxy aren't where they were at any point in the past.

Otherwise the whole concept of time travel atleast, backwards time travel is functionally impossible, the fundamental principles of how time works is that it is only a measure of the actions of things within a given space. Some slower somefaster than others. Going forward in time faster is possible but I do not think going back is, simply due to the fact even canceling out the paradoxes, there would be far too much progress if the wrong directions if we were not careful.

Oh ok Doctor Time thanks for the loving lecture you dick bag. Why don't you leave the time travel up to real men.

If you had to suck your future selfs dick or risk destroying the causality chain and destroying the entire universe, would you suck your own dick, knowing you would have to come back in time and get sucked off by yourself from the past? I mean it's your own dick, just from a little in the future. :shrug:

That's a very good and beautiful response. Would you want to bring anything back with you maybe some good food to share or a nice car to cruise around in? It would be interesting how a relationship would be shaped knowing when it would end (would you tell him? Not to get too personal...I think I would tell someone I loved unless it would trip them up ) or would you just keep yourself as a random stranger in passing?

5m^3 is more than enough space to bring back a dad, and maybe several other family members he would like backup copies of

Scratch the latte idea, I would've risked a time paradox and told the me of a few hours ago to pick up more soda at the store before coming back home. Turns out I ran out, and now I am totally hosed!!! Do not want to waste time and gas to get more soda, particularly since the day is almost winding down.
