If you could time travel...

[Dirty Sanchez]

and you could witness something, but not alter history, when/where would you go?

Me, I'd go back watch a premier of a Charlie Chaplin movie in 1928.

Make sure to talk on your cell phone despite having no towers or satellites.

If they have time travel capabilities, I'm sure they've solved that problem in the future, so not technically a cell.  More like a Star Trek communicator.

If????? I thought it already was happening.

Guys, this whole time travel phone conundrum was recognized and resolved in the '90's.

Wow, I've actually had two people email me that video in the last couple days.

OK... let's assume they've figured out time travel in the future, and not only that but apparently precise, safe time travel, which would be infinitely more problematic than time travel itself. So they can send actual human beings through overlaps in space time, maybe in or around a black hole, and manage to keep them alive and not crushed down smaller than an atom and placed when they want them, and even trickier, where they want them.

Assuming they've figured this all out, i'm betting they're also not dumb and/or completely insane enough to travel BACK in time. And if they are, they would make sure somehow not to effect the timeline, which would be practically impossible. And they sure as hell wouldn't be walking down the street like assholes in front of movie sets and interacting with people and creating literally millions and billions of alternate time-lines stretching out into infinity and creating and erasing millions of future beings with every step they took. Anyone who travels back in time risks destroying their own timeline and everyone's they know.

If you assume that the time travelers have traveled back in time with the intent to change the timeline to prevent some future event, which would indeed be the only reasonable explanation for them being there, they still sure as hell wouldn't do it by strolling down the sidewalk dressed in drag looking like a freak.

So yeah, it's not a time traveler, you rough ridin' fucks.

Yeah, like, let's say someone just went back to that Chaplin premiere "yesterday." If I already owned that DVD, that dude/chick clearly wouldn't have been in that scene because he/she hadn't gone back there "yet." So, when he/she did go back there "yesterday," would he/she suddenly appear in that scene on my DVD?

IT'S ALL TOO MUCH!!!!!!

Sounds good, unless time is fluid and is open to all possiblities. Would also have to consider that there are probably people/places/events that are static and cannot be changed. Other than that, time is your oyster.

If time travel ever becomes/became (whatever) possible Sirr Parker would never have been born.  Until I wake up and see a 1998 BigXII trophy in Manhattan I'll know time travel is impossible.

That's the thing.  That means you will never travel through time and do that, because if you did, that would have been like 35 years ago, and you would have your big XII championship trophy right now.

Not at all. Just saying someone changed the timeline to allow him to be elected. Only possible explanation.

Assuming this is all one timeline (WHICH I DONT THINK IT IS!!!!), then with this person being outed as a time traveler,  How will it affect us right now?

In 2034 or whatever, when she does go back through time, will A) whatever time traveling governing body not let her go back for fear of a blown cover or B) send her back and make her recreate every scene with precision otherwise fading her out of the video ala BTTF?

[kitten_mittons]

If time travel were possible, EVER, it would destroy the timeline, because people are power-hungry and would "hot tub time machine" it and go back in time to make themselves rich.  Or we would have some crazy patriot come back in time to stop the WTC attacks.

Maybe not. Something about fixed points in time that cannot be changed.
