If you had the possibility to time travel and go to the future, would you do it?

[Clara4567]

I asked about the past, but what about the future?


Time travel is very fascinating for me , I would love to go back in time , but also to the future.
If I had the possibility I would go in a far future, I don't want to see my future life, because that would let me see my life and if something is not as i wish tjat xould be painful.
I would prefer to go to the year 3000 just to ser how things have changed and try to live with those changes, see if the world is still as we know it today or if it is totally different.

What about you? Would you go to the future? And why? Would you prefer to see how your future self is or go on a completely different period?

Yes, I would travel to the future

No, I wouldn't travel to the future

[ClaircognizantEmpath]

the ability of the cosmos, is everything is supposed to exist all at once and lets take my lifetime, every decision I've ever made, and all other routes off of that are also supposed to exist back and forth for each and everyone of us, can you imagine!! that blows my mind... ever since i was a child i had an inner belief regarding sky visitors im talking about the visiting crafts in the last few decades, the images we were given of them, i had a sense of are they us? an eon in the future who in their time now have the ability to travel back and perhaps try to prevent our destiny to disaster... perhaps i would go and beg them to come back in time and stop the invention and use of plastic... i would also be prepared that not much on earth may remain in only jumping a few hundred years, a few thousand would be awesome... another mention is the akashic records which anyone can visit if carefully done xx

[strateguy632]

Sounds like marvel comic books.

[Kelley1]

If it was possible I would love to go to the future. (1) twenty years to see if I chose well when I married. (2) 100 years to see if the USA was a dictatorship or if billions died in a nuclear war. (3) 5,000 years to see if we achieved space travel to other stars and witness another Ice Age.

The password be okay it would be fun but the future is where it's at I want to see where we are headed where are kids are headed for what our grandkids are headed for
I believe they're getting closer closer to making that a possibility

There are nine dimensions that we live in right now but we live in one but there are nine dimensions around us

When people see UFOs are Bigfoot or unicorns.
I used to say it's not true all it takes is a certain frequency to change things and that's where we are headed

Everything on this planet is energy everything on this planet is frequency and if you can dial it in to the right frequency you can heal your body you can do tons of things and scientists are getting closer and closer

[AviatorTom]

I would love to travel to the future, about 300 years into the future. It would be interesting to see if and how mankind has changed. I could get a good job as a 20th and 21st century historian.

[strateguy632]

Nope nobody would believe the truth. They would only have history books written by the winner or worse some online encyclopedia constantly changing.

[AviatorTom]

Thanks for MHO

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

@strateguy632 I suppose it is frightening to see how all things can constantly change around you, hence the existential comfort of living in a box with a sticker saying:

Welcome to immutability !

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Time travel is not easy, it can be lethal if you don't plan your course well, because it's a journey in time AND space. Let's say you move forward 3000 years, if you don't course correct, in space, to account for Earth spinning around the Sun then... You will most certainly end up in the void, saying hi to cosmic dust. Because when your position in time changes, so does earth position in time !

Additionally, here is the absolute and definitive movie dealing with time travel's implications in all possible ways: Predestination (2014)

If I could return to the present, I would go maybe a year into the future to see what stocks or commodities had performed the best or what athletes or sports teams won.

Then, when I was back in the present, I could bet on those athletes or teams, and invest in those stocks and commodities to make a large, fast profit.

[DrPepper12]

History teacher here. It viscerally bothers me that I won't see the end of the human story and almost feel ripped off. I feel / think that our present is AT BEST the first page of our story. Kinda sux ass.

[abc3643]

Read "Galápagos" by Kurt Vonnegut.

[DrPepper12]

I have!! And just about all sci fi, dystopian futures, etc.

[exitseven]

I would go to the future a d see how it all tuns out.

[Simslover92]

I'd rather go back in time and change what I did wrong. Fuck the future. It's bleak for me now.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

But if you go back in time, given time paradox, you will not be able to experience those changes, only the alternate version of you will.

[Simslover92]

I mean that's true. At least some form of me will be happy though.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

That's some comfort, and it's often some comfort praised in fictions dealing with this problem

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Here is a fascinating movie dealing with the possibilities of changing your own past, it looks like Science-Fiction at first sight, but the real purpose is mostly a psychological journey into one's own decisions in life, "what would have happened if..." etc:

Mr. Nobody (2009)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0485947/

[Simslover92]

I'll put it on the list! Thanks! :)

[strateguy632]

Yes I wish i can skip ahead to,

after trump returns president in 2025. Skip over the rest of democrat caused trouble.

[MoonFace2]

I’d be afraid of what I might see and whether or not I could cope with the reality of it.

[tfan1]

Providing I had a way to return to my original time - yes

[msc545]

I sure would as long as I could definitely get back.

[msc545]

Maybe about 5 years to see if we were stupid enough to elect Trump.

[Anonymous]

Yes I would, it would look just like in Futurama :)

[Likes2drive]

Yeah if I could come back

[Bklynbadboy12]

I'd love to see what the future looks like

[Reymundo41]

Surprise me

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

No problem, here is a picture of 4 koalas:

[Reymundo41]

4 of the dumbest creatures on the planet

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

You did surprise me as well then, it's a success!

[eagle1951]

not really
