You wouldn't be at all curious enough to try and effect some major change in history, just to see which version of the rules of time travel the universe really uses? Big Grin

Quote:Good point, Esquilax, how fun would it be to go forward in time and see how they interpret our current time period... I think that would be wicked awesome

Depends on what you saw, really. Imagine heading to the future only to find that our time period is remembered for one thing above all others: for producing the first person to discover the secret of time travel, only to keep it secret and use it to construct a massive dictatorship.

... Actually, it would be pretty awesome to travel forward in time and meet evil future me. Forget I said anything. Tongue
