Let’s assume that mankind has just one shot of sending just ONE person back in time. Who, in your opinion, should be sent back and to what period of history?
Presumptions:
1- there are no multiverses.
2- grandfather paradox does not exist.
3- Each of his/her action in “history” will have an impact on “present”.
**Also keep social impact in mind. **The person can be anyone from living or from historical figures. Also state the reason you chose that person.

Re: Time travel

Re: Time travel
I would advise you to edit and make your thread easier so that we all on here can post. It looks more like a thesis question/topic now and you know that how we all hate anything that looks like parhaayi :halo:

I will send myself in the era of dinosaurs or pyramid era

Re: Time travel
Unfortunately, world is an amazingly complicated place and there is no one single event that if it did not happen, world would be a better place. Because there is no one event, there cannot be just one personality that could change everything ..
Unless you are Captain Picard and Q took you back in time when first cell was creating itself millions of centuries ago .. altering that event would change everything off course ..

Time Travel is haram.

Re: Time travel
They do go together. Grandfather paradox is basically anti-time travel argument. Answer to this paradox is multiverse or parallel universes. Now 1st assumption is there are no parallel universe. Now for time travel, there has to be an answer to grandfather paradox. #3 IS that answer. 
It simply says it will have an “impact” on “present”, it does not define type of impact .
If one person goes back in history and kills the person he knows as his grandfather then by conventional logic, he should not be born let alone going for time travel. #2 & #3 actually ALLOW this to happen by letting the person to be born under different genealogy (Impact on “present” ).
Besides, these presumptions are to avoid “I’ll go and kill that X,Y,Z” type of comments.
Re: Time travel
the one person who understood and replied in the thread, chose to be selfish. 
Lets say what if we send one of the Wright brothers to 15th century Florence or France, so he could work with Da Vinci on human flight?.
Re: Time travel

Wright brothers working with Da Vinchi … I like that. :k:
I need to eat something first to think about who/where/why of my own.

Re: Time travel
send Adam back and tell him to not make any mistakes this time around :P
Re: Time travel
^ He would because if he doesn’t listen to Eve how will he be happy? 
Re: Time travel
On a serious note, time-travel is scientifically impossible. We will never be able to go backwards or forwards in time.

Can I still feed my car Banana peels? That should be enough potassium to push me faster than light speed!
Re: Time travel
Will there be enough Banana peels to generate 1.21GW?! Let’s give it a go!

Obviously time travel is something that could never happen, but it still makes for the best science fiction.
