I've been mesmerized by Hawking's Into the Universe series and one of the episodes is on time travel. Now, assuming the connecting wormhole proximity is close, and our ability to increase their size to allow a human to pass through, it seems very plausible that this could actually happen. If anyone else has thought about time travel I'd like to see what you all think about a few questions/ideas I have:
- We've all heard the "number one rule" of time travel: don't be seen. Assuming our descendants are capable of coming up with the technology to harness the 4th dimension, do you think they would come back to our time now?
-In no way is this meant to be a conspiracy theory, but it is curious to think about some of the older UFO sightings and chuckle to yourself about the possibility that they could be from the future... we didn't have the technology to truly explain a lot of the sightings back in the 30s, 40s, 50s... or previous times - it's an interesting thought.
-If you could time travel, in either direction and survive the potentially extreme conditions and not disrupt history, what one place would you go? Who/what would you visit?
Just picking one instance in time to visit is a pretty daunting task. Although I'd love the opportunity to visit America at its birth (anthropologically-speaking) or the Renaissance, or Galileo, or the Egyptians, or Newton (the list is endless really), I think I might pick the time of the great Greeks. Although, it would be fun to see if Jesus really lived when Christians believe he did, but since his existence has no real impact on my life I'll let that one be.
