If you had a time machine, what would you do with it?

[Skyler and Blazer]

i already replied to this topic next october. 
 

Did you now? I would go back in time and tell my 13 year old self to not be such a punk, and to not let others push him around so much.

what no mention of the second law of thermodynamics??????????????????? for shame

Well, seen as though you asked An isolated system can't decrease in entropy due to it alway evolving toward Thermodynamic Equilibrium (TE from now on). The universe is classed as an isolated system, as (as far as we know) matter and energy can't enter or exit (law of conservation of energy (and matter, but as matter is a form of energy (sort of) I only really need to say energy)). As the cause of action in the universe is heading towards TE at all times, then technically any change in the course of time would minutely alter this, meaning it would either be impossible to time travel (but that defeats the object of the topic) or the universes time lines would meet (ending in no net change in entropy)

Dick, you're trying a bit too hard. xD

Btw I would go back in time to watch my childhood and see Jesus.

[SirBlaziken]

Huh. Not bad...

[glash101]

I would go back Before all the trolls registered and chop their heads off OH YEAH!

[sans the skeleton]

nothing

havent you heard of the butterfly effect

oh i agree with this

i mean i'd happily make sure hitler wasn't born but think of the families that wouldn't have ever started and the people that wouldn't have existed that were good people...

[Wrath of Zuruggu]

A time machine like... a Tardis but without the space bit? Where I could make multiple trips back and forth? I'd do a lot of stuff!

I'd travel back to every epoch through biological evolution and watch how far different animals had progressed and diverged. I might even travel through every 1000 years or so to really see how an animal progressively changed.

I'd cuddle a dodo. I might even bring one back to the future as a pet. Or several for breeding. I don't care what effect this would have because I would be the crazy dodo-lady.

Go meet Darwin et al. I wouldn't want to sail with him though, I hate sailing :s

I don't think I'd like to travel back too much into our recent human history, though... I'd certainly be branded a witch.

actually forget making out w/ past me i would go back to when puk was good whenever that was

i didn't really ask it was more the dude gave the worst definition of entropy i ever saw but dS = dQ/T or  S = k_Bln(W)  would have been a quicker answer than the macroscopic arrow of time asymmetry principle
thanks for playing anyway tho little girl

"why is he an arab dude? are you sure this is jesus?"

You contradict yourself. I am, as you put it, 'the dude', yet you then say 'thanks for playing anyway tho little girl', you refer to me as both genders despite the fact my profile clearly says male.

Also, I know that my definition of entropy isn't great; I'm awful at explaining/defining, and Entropy isn't exactly on the GCSE curriculum.


Back on topic; I'd probably go back to 1980ish and shoot Joel Schumacher before he even went near a camera

"the dude" is the quack98 guy who weaved some yarn about entropy being part of some wishy-washy abstract butterfly timeline effect stuff and i sat there being self-righteous because im doing a degree in chemistry

i called you a girl b/c well i'd say "figure it out" but in your last post you wrote "but he asked" and well lets see if you can figure it out now

[quack98]

"the dude" is the quack98 guy

Quack98 is my old username

[NTN]

It's still the username you registered with, so it's your official username.

I might go back in time and correct the things that may have been unreasonable coming from me.

actually forget making out w/ past me i would go back to when puk was good whenever that was

that was the day before i joined for the first time

really interested to go back in time and steal every religious book in the world, hide them, go to the future, and see what changes.

BUT AGAIN, butterfly effect. Maybe in a 'whatif' alternate dimension or something.
