If you were given the ability to time travel in any way(hypothetically speaking) what changes would you make in the past? And why exactly would you make that change?
None. That change would change my entire life thereafter.
I have literally countless things I want to change in the past. You can find a lot of them here, https://classicalfan.timetravelinstitute.com/. Why do I want to make such changes? To make the universe a better place.
How about waiting to the end of the mankind and then going back at the beginning of the mankind together with all of the knowledge gathered and restart with it.
Well, it depends on the time and place I was going to. For example, if it were possible to return to the year 1500 AD, in Portugal, I would do something to prevent Cabral from sailing towards Brazil – one of the worst events in the birth of my country was precisely that: being discovered and colonized by the Portuguese.
I agree ~QS
Well,If a time travel vessel was created, I would make a survey of danger zones and safe zones that exist before mankind when we could build a time traveling civilation.
At this point I still agree with PaulaJedi, though I wished I could at one point
I think I would just use it to go back, then drive by “one special day,” the day my sister got to go to school on her first day, she is a year older.
My mom took me outside with her & as I watched my sissy going torwards the bus & getting on it.
I swore to my mom I wanted to go & she just looked at me with the most loving look only a mother can give, & said “well go ahead then…”
I started towards the bus & then realized the only thing I wanted IN THIS WORLD was my mom, so turned back instead & wrapped my arms & legs around her leg for dear life, crying & begged her… to not make me go!
I am sure she knew I wouldn’t & that was why she said it was “ok” to go, with such tender loving confidence! Love you mom!
I would want that day “back” for that moment only, time can have the rest… i only need it only as an observer, a non interactive passer~by, the bus was pulled off on a side road anyway, I can’t remember if it pulled off there because a car needed to pass, so the bus just got out of the way, *Nope, I remember now, it came from up behind the house on the side road, then would have turned left or right, I am certain that I won’t remember which cuz of being practically face first in my mom’s pant leg lol. Anyway… the only things that I cared about that day, was my sister going to school & I couldn’t, my mom & where that bus was sitting to get on it & while seeing my sister off. but… if it existed “time travel” & it would change much for anyone else back then… I bet, only for me today with a fifth memory & a different perspective! ![]()

*minor edits, I remember why the bus was sitting that way
i did not have a back pack, I was not ready at all to go & i can’t even remember if I was still in my full zip~up from behind… light blue PJ’s! ![]()
I can only imagine what she was thinking of me, maybe something like “Look at her big boy, all grown up now & already leaving!” I was 3yrs old, probably at best.
Poor Mom! You really were the best! ![]()
What would I change in the past! Nothing. if you change the past you change the future!
I think about the timing of conception events and I wonder if just my appearance in the distant past would drastically alter the future to such a degree that when I return if anyone I know would even exist, even myself.
If I had a time travel device I’d become a time pirate bounty hunter and also create a business where I export oil and other resources from the past to the future after the world runs out of said oil and other said resources @TheTimeRuler
that would be very interesting concept, you could do it kinda like the Philadelphia experiment… with a lot less men stuck in the deck of course.
Cause that whole thing was a distressing mess!
