Things I Would Do With A Paradox-Free Time Machine
Paradox-free time travel is time travel where what happens in the past doesn’t negate your existence. Think of Doctor Who, except for that episode where Rose Tyler invoked the time dragons by encroaching on her personal time line.
Back to the Future is an example of time travel involving paradoxes; when Marty McFly almost breaks up his parents, he starts to fade away. I do not believe that would actually happen.
Anyways, a non-ordered list of things I would do with a paradox-free time machine. Also I would need to have certain superpowers.
- Be Mona Lisa
- Code something with punched cards
- Convince the Egyptians to build dragon statues instead of pyramids
- Create fossil anomalies, such as a dinosaur stack akin to Russian nesting dolls.
- Go back to the Jurassic period and squish one bug
- Kill Hitler
- Leave Windsor more quickly
- Meet Jesus and get the real deal on him
- Not put my contact in backwards this morning
- Rid the world of the term “Web 2.0″
- Ride Caligula’s horse Incitatus
- Stop the cancellation of Futurama, Arrested Development, and jPod
- Visit the fun relatives more often
- Write Keep On Rocking In The Free world before Neil Young
