I'd go back twenty years and... deter the paramedics who are trying to save my life

if anyone here wants to go back and 'kill hitler'... those people are already dead, you can't save their lives. What you can do, and will do, is kill everyone from the current timeline in an attempt to save some people who are already dead

Well first of, there's the problem of after going to the past you go to the exact moment you left for your two way time travel trip, will the universe and it's fundamental forces even allow there to be two you's? cause you arrived at the same moment you left originally so you're standing next to yourself

Second problem, you've gone back in time. You've chosen a time and location before you were born. since you don't exist yet, how will you remember that you exist, and keep your memory of your life in the past? wouldn't a time traveler lose all memory at least by going to the past?

Third and last problem: let's say neither of the two first problems happen. By travelling to the past, you've created a entire new parallel universe. You can't go back to your original universe because in that universe you haven't gone to the past yet. By time travelling, you've created an split in events where you did in fact travel to the past. The return trip will be to the new parallel universe where you went to the past, not the original one where you chose not to.

Time travel is risky and could break laws of nature. I'm personally against developing time travel technology. So I wouldn't do it.

Refer to my forum avatar's title if you have any questions.

I would go back to when Jagex created their first office! Would be awesome how small it was compared to the massive building they have now.

I'd go back to the eighth or ninth century, marry a hot shieldmaiden, and go on a few raiding parties with her to England and France, and bring some gold and silver and a few slaves back to Scandinavia, or something like that.

All the obvious 'saving the world' stuff aside, I'd go back to my shy teenage years and force myself to experience life more while I was still young with few responsibilities! AKA: Arbr**** Vie
Please also remove the filter from our siggies Jagex! :)
