chrisnorthw Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Apart from buying a 59 and 60 Les Paul and a 50's Fender Strat, I'd go and see Jimi Hendrix play live. A quick dart back to fill in a winning lottery ticket wouldn't go amiss either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZenKen Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 And those of you who would go back in time to buy a 59 Les Paul or a 50's Strat, you're gonna run into one of the many time travel paradoxes. What are you gonna pay for them with? You won't be able to use your Visa or American Express card and you can't take today's monopoly looking money back with you to buy stuff. What you gonna do then? Get a job earning 1950's wages? B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Beach Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I suppose I'd go and smack younger me across the face first. Then I'd make love to Marlin Monroe, kill baby Hitler, Watch Jesus be born, kill baby Osama, then just go through out history and collect artifacts to sell in the present day for millions of dollars.

Get a job earning 1950's wages? B) You gotta gather all the currency you can today thaz dated about 5yrs old. Then you go back 5 yrs and change for smaller or larger bills, always with an eye toward keeping anything back then thaz 5 yr old currency back then. Now you got 10 yr old currency [in today's terms]. Go back another 5 yrs and do it again ... and over and over and over, moving back 5 yrs at a time. Sure it's a long process, and you need time to go shopping, get haircuts, and whatever else helps you look 'dated'. So it takes time .... but time is no longer a one-way trip, so it's OK. There's many other details. Like your ID documents. Just try to get back to the 20th century without getting caught [like, keep the time machine under 55mph and signal all your turns .... ]. Once you get back before 2001 it' s a whole lot easier to get phony ID. When you get back to the early mid-80's buy into a new company called Microsoft. Let that ripen, with continual reinvestemnts as you work your way forward to about 2007. Then you sell short and buy gold. Do NOT buy California as the state itself will go bust, and do not buy the Brooklyn Bridge, as it is falling down. You might wanna buy the Great Wall, before the yuan shoots for the moon. Oh yeah, and if you wanna check out "The Butterfly Effect", take Einstein out one night and get him loaded. ` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) Yeah but can you imagine how messed up the world would be if World War II didn't happen? Things would be totally different! And before I get flamed, I'm not supporting Hitler. I hate the guy too.

vincentw Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 time machines are an interesting topic. be careful buying up all those '59 LPs because you'll buy the ones that ended up in Clapton, Page, Bloomfield's hands. What would they have played? Fenders of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I agree with Grampa and Sinner 13 in the belief that any such invention must never be allowed to become a reality. The consequences would be, beyond a shadow of a doubt, catastrophic. Perhaps "Time Machine" is the wrong concept. I would prefer had the question been : "If you could go back to any point (or points) in history and were allowed to observe, without altering events in any way, what would you choose to witness?" (But then; I'm an adult. LOL!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
