If you could travel back in time..

[byeo]

I'd like to go back to just before my Grandad passed away in 2004, I never really saw him too much in his final years thanks to my dad and his sister not getting on with one another which made visits few and far between. Unfortunately (or fortunately) he passed in his sleep, alone, while we were on holiday in Florida and I hate it that I never spent enough time with him. I'd like to give him a big hug, kiss and let him go to sleep one last time.

I do like the idea of finding out who Jack the Ripper was or who killed JFK etc... but not knowing the truth (or whole truth) makes it just as fascinating to me.

I'm concerned about you guys wanting to go back to see violence lol, weirdos.

Oddly enough, it's not the violence of the Peloponnesian Wars that interests me. In fact, that almost stopped me from picking it! It's the logistics, politics and administration of it all that fascinates me. Complex organizational challenges excite me.

I would go back to the 1980's/1990's with money to buy all of the great computers and subscribe to all of the computing magazines etc. Basically pre-internet and 90% of games being online multiplayer days. Plus going to the video shop and browsing/renting the low budget b-movies that nobody hears about anymore was fun.

Is that the same episode where they took JFK back through time so that he could shoot himself?

No it's from the brilliant "White Hole" episode, absolute classic

A white hole?

 

[uncle_rufus]

A white hole?

"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. A black hole sucks time and matter out of the universe: a white hole returns it."

"So, that thing's spewing time back into the universe?"

"Precisely. That's why we're experiencing these curious time phenomena on board."

"So, what is it?"

"I've never seen one before, no one has, but I'm guessing it's a white hole.

A white hole?

"Will somebody punch him out already?!"

The 1970's, so that I could do it all over again.

Jurassic period, the birth of jesus (think ill be waiting awhile for that one even with a time machine) the roman empire, how the Egyptians built things, there's just to many to name.

 

[adolf hamster]

so what is it?

 

[Feek]

By the way guys, I forgot to show you your time travel machine. This is it. I bought it from ebay

That’s a rather nice model - how big is it, how much was it and do you have a link.
Sheldon and Leonard would be very jealous

And inadvertently become one!

"He cometh from a portal of time and smited the wicked, leading the people to salvation"

Behold the miracle of the juniper bushes!

 

[Angilion]

so what is it?

A magic hole.

I'd go back to about 1998 and sign up for all the PPI schemes.

The birth of Jesus Christ, 25 12 0000

Jesus wasn't born on 25th December.

The romans moved his birthday to tie in with the pagan winter solstice celebrations.

I have actually travelled through time. It was a few years ago, I was sat at work reading this thread!

Remember the red dwarf, white hole comments.

Damn, only jumped a few years
