Some friends and I got together for a party after having seen The Time Machine and got into the following discussion. I just wanted to post a couple of those questions for fun to see what everyone's answer would be.....while the questions seem 'easy' they are actually quite difficult when you have to think about them.

1. If you were able to take ONE trip on a time machine (there and back) where would you go and what would you do?

2. If you were able to take said machine on a ONE WAY trip...where would you go?

3. If you were able to change one event in your life...what would it be?

Like I said, we had fun with this conversation and I just thought I would share. My answers were....

1. I would go back to the time of the man who invented the toliet and get stock options/royalties.

2. I would like to go to Renessance England - but only with the guarantee of becoming aristocracy (nobles).

3. I would send my father to the hospital to prevent the heart attack that killed him when I was 4 years old.

Whew... hard ones....

Okie, lets see...

1. I'd go back to the '70's and buy sex.com Microsoft, and Yahoo. :-)

2. One way trip only? Do I get to take technology from today back with me? I'd hate to be stuck anywhere in time with no video games or microwave.

3. One event... The chain of events that lead to my brother's death.

Whew, now that I'm good and depressed, hehe.

I guess you could take the techy stuff with you but it depends on where/when you are going as to weither or not you could use it. I.E. How is a blow dryer going to help you if you go back to a time where there is no electricity? Told you it was more difficult that you think at first. *Winks*

1. I would go back to the time when my grandfather had his aortic anyureusm (sp?), and spent that Friday with him instead of not being able to handle it and leave crying. I would've talked to him more and told him how much I loved him instead of being so scared and hurt that he didn't know who I was.....

2. I would love to go to ancient Japan or China and learn Shaolin Kung Fu and be the awesomest girl Kung Fu artist known to man!

3. If I could have changed one event in my life, it would be having Madison die... Babies aren't supposed to die. I would've taken her place in a heartbeat.

Interesting answers everyone! I will have to come up with another brain teaser here soon!

Was that movie fiction?
this probably isn't (or, well.. I guess Russians love telling stories):

QUOTE

Russian time machine:
Russian investigator of anomalous phenomena, philosopher and author of numerous books Gennady Belimov published his article under the headline "Time Machine: First Speed On" in the newspaper On the Verge of Impossible. He described unique experiments conducted by a group of enthusiasts led by Vadim Chernobrov, the man who began creation of time machines, devices with electromagnetic pumping in 1987. Today the group of enthusiasts can slow down or speed up the course of time using special impact of the magnetic field. The biggest slowing down of time made up 1.5 seconds within an hour of the equipment's operation in labs.
In August 2001, a new model of the time machine meant for a human was set in a remote forest in Russia's Volgograd Region. When the machine even operated on car batteries and had low capacity, it still managed to change the time by three per cent; the change was registered with symmetrical crystal oscillators.
At first, the researchers spent five, ten and twenty minutes in the operating machine; the longest stay lasted for half an hour. Vadim Chernobrov said that the people felt as if they moved to a different world; they felt life here and "there" at the same time as if some space was unfolding. "I cannot define the unusual feelings that we experienced at such moments."
Neither TV nor radio companies reported the astonishing fact; Gennady Belimov says the Russian president was not informed of the experiment. However, he tells that already under Stalin there was a Research Institute of the Parallel World. Results of experiments conducted by Academicians Kurchatov and Ioffe can be now found in the archives.
In 1952, head of the Soviet secret police organization Lavrenty Beria initiated a case against researchers participating in the experiments, as a result of which 18 professors were executed by shooting and 59 candidates and doctors of physical sciences were sent to camps. The Institute recommenced its activity under Khruschev. But an experimental stand with eight leading researchers disappeared in 1961, and buildings close to the one where experiments were conducted were ruined. After that, the Communist Party political bureau and the Council of Ministers decided to suspend researchers of the Institute for an uncertain period.
The program was resumed in 1987 when the Institute already functioned on the territory of the Soviet Union.
A tragedy occurred on August 30, 1989: an extremely strong explosion sounded at the Institute's branch office on the Anjou islands. The explosion destroyed not only the experimental module of 780 tons but also the archipelago itself that covered the area of 2 square kilometers. According to one of the versions of the tragedy, the module with three experimenters collided with a large object, probably an asteroid, in the parallel world or heading toward the parallel world. Having lost its propulsion system, the module probably remained in the parallel world.
The last record made in the framework of the experiment and kept at the Institute archives says: "We are dying but keep on conducting the experiment. It is very dark here; we see all objects become double, our hands and legs are transparent, we can see veins and bones through the skin. The oxygen supply will be enough for 43 hours, the life support system is seriously damaged. Our best regards to the families and friends!" Then the transmission suddenly stopped.

And did anyone hear of this before?:

QUOTE

Eight years ago, American and British scientists who conducted investigations in Antarctica made a sensational discovery. US physicist Mariann McLein told the researchers noticed some spinning gray fog in the sky over the pole on January 27 which they believed to be just ordinary sandstorm. However, the gray fog did not change the form and did not move in the course of time. The researchers decided to investigate the phenomenon and launched a weather balloon with equipment capable to register the wind speed, the temperature and the air moisture. But the weather balloon soared upwards and immediately disappeared.
In a little while, the researchers brought the weather balloon back to the ground with the help of a rope attached to it before. They were extremely surprised to see that a chronometer set in the weather balloon displayed the date of January 27, 1965, the same day 30 years ago. The experiment was repeated several times after the researchers found out the equipment was in good repair. But each time the watch was back it displayed the past time. The phenomenon was called "the time gate" and was reported to the White House.
Today investigation of the unusual phenomenon is underway. It is supposed that the whirl crater above the South Pole is a tunnel allowing to penetrate into other times. What is more, programs on launching people to other times have been started. The CIA and the FBI are fighting for gaining control over the project that may change the course of history. It is not clear when the US federal authorities will approve the experiment.

Some related thoughts I had:
When you look up at the stars at night, your awareness travels through time and space (because they are lightyears away).
And when you remember something, aren't you also traveling through time in a way?

1. If you were able to take ONE trip on a time machine (there and back) where would you go and what would you do?

I would go back in time to study Mountain Gorillas with Dian Fossey and I would remind that chick it aint a good idea to tick off poachers..lol

2. If you were able to take said machine on a ONE WAY trip...where would you go?

I would go back to the mid to late 1800's living in the old West BUT only if I could be a guy...wouldnt want to be a woman back then

3. If you were able to change one event in your life...what would it be?

I would go back to when my Mother first discovered that lump under her armpit. I would drag her down to the hospital if I had to but I would have had her get that lump checked then and there when she discovered it, not months afterwards when it was already too late

Sure, you've heard of past life regression. But what about future life progression?
