Time machine

[valleys caveman]

If you had a time machine that would only go forward, would you step foot in it?

Re: Time machine

The advantages of foresight would be negated if you can’t go back.

So not for me.

No
Excellent poser though

Re: Time machine

Nope. One has a finite amount of time on this planet so I don't see why one would want to speed it up.

Couldn’t the same thing be achieved anyway by going into an induced coma for a few years? :shrug:

Re: Time machine

Yes, but I am in my twenties, single with no kids, so I guess I can go enjoy the adventure without much to look back on and miss

But you are not missing out on time, because you will be conscious and present the whole time, your point with a coma is like saying you would be asleep for half your life, which is not the case OP is making, you will still live the same length of time, just in a different time.

Well it is late and the wine has taken its toll on the grey matter :hehe:

Re: Time machine

Do you hang in stasis In order for time to catch you up...or do you simply skip time.

This last few years would be different depending 😄

Re: Time machine

I'll have another go.

Obviously it would depend how far you went but it would be weird, no sad, seeing my kids older, possibly even grandkids which you hadn't seen grow up.

Oh and it would be depressing as feck having missed out on City's Champions League final victory!

No. I wouldn't want to leave my family or my life as it is now. And I probably wouldn't like what I saw in the future. Also, can imagine how confusing it would be for a 50-year-old man from 1971 to end up here? Jesus!

Re: Time machine

I have always wondered if you went back 500 years, how easy it would be to assimilate into normal life, like would my accent and mannerisms be so strange that I would be unable to settle into society

I used to in every home game I attended it was like an enlightenment and transference to another moment in time.

I bet language would be a problem. I'm sure ordinary people didn't speak full-on Shakespeare but I reckon there'd be some confusion.

On the other hand, there'd be loads of viruses that your body has never encountered before so language wouldn't be your major problem for long :hehe:

Yes, to try and have some faith in the human race restored - we're not a very likeable bunch at the moment.

No chance, the worlds going to shiiiiit, imagine what it will be like in 100 or 200 years? Cardiff will be mainly underwater for starters but folks in places like Gwaelod, Tongwynlais and Radyr and cyncoed will all have nice sea views on their doorsteps....invest there now!
