What would you choose?

If you have the ability to time travel, would you go in the past or the future

Hypothetically speaking

#timetravel to future, of course

The future. Of course, the past we already know about. We have a fairly good idea of what happened is the future that I am most curious about. That is other unknown way, especially if you stretch out beyond and the immediate future the next 5100 years and think about a couple of hundred years or even more into the future thousands of years into the future. That is utterly fascinating. It's

A very strong desire, but equally strong desire for me is to see how my kids grow old and I don't need to go too far into the future. But I would love to spend many more years with my children as many years as I can. And if this is one way to do it, then I would that would be my desire

But I do want to take knowledge from the future back in so that we can fix our biggest mistakes, because sometimes maybe I feel like nipping things in the bud might help us move along in different directions, and maybe in some cases even accelerate progress. But then again, when we're talking about time travel, if you go back in the past, the future that you create will be in an alternate universe, so I really don't know. But regardless, that is such a good question

I'm voting for the past. I love this question, but for the past, because I'm just I might be in the minority, but I'm not. I'm not feeling it for, like, the hightech world that we're going to be having. I know it's going to be so appropriate and so perfect for everybody who's in it. But I don't want to jump into it and go, what's going on?

For all of you who are rooting to go into the past, I just have two words for you. Toilet paper. You realize that won't be there

Stop by Costco before you leave...

On that same note, imagine going back to just before toilet paper was invented and you go back and you create toilet paper and become the toilet paper toilet paper Baron, it won't be Shammi anymore. It'll be S-H-A-R-M-M-I-N if I went back. Right. And Deborah, I don't know if I would want to go back to the dinosaur times

Staying put!

Maybe I can operate, like, click my fingers and I'd be from here and I'm on vacation, like, by the click of a finger. That would be phenomenal. You mean to say I don't have to take these hour long trips to make it to Australia or Bangkok. No, I could just Sam my feet that future. While it sounds great, I'm just going to bring up this hypothesis

This is a very interesting topic. I initially thought it's going to be very straightforward past or present and things like that. But after listening to everyone's perspective, anything toilet paper to grow up to several other perspectives. Honestly speaking, I think I'm biased because right now I've listened to every one of you guys and I can only tell you I really enjoy this thing because I think going back to the past, I would really enjoy meeting the religious figures

#abitofboth?

Hi. I'm assuming that the ability to time travel will stay with me for some time. So because your question doesn't really elaborate on if this is a onetime adventure or it's some kind of capability that one can explore if it's here to stay. So I'm presuming that it's a capability and what I will do is go into the past and into other future so that I can make more sense of my present. That's what I'll do. Yes

Back to the #past !

I'm not quite sure if I would want to travel to the future, but then given a chance, I would love to go back into my past and do things differently because I feel if I did have a chance to go back and redo a lot of things, then my present and my future definitely wouldn't be the way it is right now, and I'm hoping that they would be using way better. So back to the past it is for me

I like this question. I would actually go to the past. The reason why is because how we remember history. I believe that certain parts may be inaccurate or has been changed throughout time and to be able to say I've gone back and I've seen this happen can actually reshape how we see the future. Because over time things change with every book that's written, every story that's written and stuff like that. But great questions. Thank you
