Things I Would Do With a Time Machine

First off, I'd like to apologize for being a little slack in updating. I'm a full-time student and have an internship as well, so my time budget gets a little tight sometimes. I promise an ultra-awesome Science Wednesday next week. Anyway, let's talk about

Things I would do with a time machine

I'm assuming that in my fantasy reality, going back in time won't lock my consciousness into an eternal loop or create some irreversible paradox. I won't change anything unless I mean to, and things turn out reasonably well and I can't somehow make Dick Cheney emperor of the Republic of America. I also would only be able to go back in time, mostly because I'm already working on a write-up of my thoughts on the future and only have so many ideas on the subject at once.

  • Talk to Einstein about religion
  • Talk to Jesus about science (well, the nature of the universe at least
  • Take a microscope with me and watch the first species of cells
  • Chill with some dinosaurs
  • Eat a dinosaur... actually, I'd try several.
  • Go ask Plato what the fuck Atlantis is (in those words) and then report back to present day. Same with Mayans. I'd also check in on the Clovis people, Noah and Moses (if they existed), the Ark of the Covenant, King Arthur and so on.
  • Go pick up medieval peasants, take them to the present and blow their minds.
  • Use my time-traveling power to play pranks on Hitler. I wouldn't try to change history mind you... too risky.
  • Befriend William Blake
  • Attempt to seduce Debussy
  • Find Paul Simon in college and convince him to write me a song
  • Go hear the premiers of my favorite pieces of music, including the Rite of Spring riot
Make your own!
