What are your thoughts on time travel, Devil? As much as everyone can think of at least one thing they'd like to go back and change, I also know that can change other things, so...it gets so confusing! I wouldn't know what to do, even with that power, since the outcome is so unpredictable, and by fixing one thing about my current life by going back, I might ruin a ton of things, or even make the world totally unrecognizable when I try to return.

I'd guess I'd go back the the Early 80's and enjoy all the stuff back then one more time. I really wouldn't want to return to the present, so Id stay there.

Fantastic answer! In my previous post, I had assumed that one had to return to the present fairly soon after they go back in time. But if I can keep reliving the early 80's by returning to that time, then that's what I'd do as well! I'd miss you all here, and the great friends I've made in "real life" since the 1980's, but otherwise it'd all be an improvement! Oh well, at least we have this forum, VHS, DVD, and other good things to take us back - in a way.

IMHO: When "you" go back in time, in the moment you materialize yourself in the past you're changing history. Everything you do - it doesn't matter if cheap, little or big - it's an alteration that can bring to a slightly or heavy different future. You can also accidentally kill yourself, for instance. Or kill someone who will become important to you or your family. If you think about it, your same presence on a NY street in 1985, simply walking among the crowd, is changing things, because you're affecting that same crowd through the only presence of your body --- affecting the way other people walk or their direction and exact place in the street and so on.

I agree 100% Prime Good! Indeed, it's so tricky!
