I would make a pay-site to compete with macrumors. If anyone leaked data from it I would go to the past and castrate their father. Of course that would be hidden in the giant tos.
Got a tip for us?

If you discovered time-travel?

That'd be a lot of time-hopping, indeed, as it wasn't written at any one time, most of what we call the "Bible" being written over a roughly 2,000-year period.
But you knew that already.
If they ever come true, they are obviously strictly regulated. Imagine if we discovered future technology in the "past". It would probably cause a lot of feedback and make ever showing us that technology impossible. That's where my brain can't fathom anymore.
I imagine that if someone did sneak back and give us early access to time machines, that in the future they would then go even further back and arrest the chap or chapette before they could commit their crime. Or just give them a stern telling off.
Maybe they never did discover time travel. Maybe the reason why we haven't seen it yet is because there is no future to build such a device, that the world ends quite soon.
as if we already live in a perfect world?
If I could go back in time, I wouldn't go out to play God or anything, but I would like to see people who are now deceased. I do remember the little times I had with people who died far too young and when they were alive, death was the last thing on anybody's mind.
I would like to go sit at the dinner table with my grandparents who used to live in an old house I would later move into many years later.
I would like to go see my first big concert, Kiss in 1979.
I would like to revisit the day I bought my first electric guitar around 1980.
And it would be a blast to see the A's-Giants baseball game during a regular season back in the 1970s again.
Those memories have faded for various reasons, or have changed as memories tend to, so it would be fun to re-live those times.
I don't believe in an end to the world. The earth has been around for billions of years and has experience great cataclysms. I think that we can assume that life will always find a way to thrive. It's quite brilliant.
Well the moment you discover this technology, everything gets f'ed up. Because, down the line, sometime in the future, no matter how much you swear to keep it to yourself, it'll get leaked. Someone else will know about it.
People will most definitely find out about it. And then they will visit us. So the moment you discover time travel, the world should start swarming with visitors.
Also- If time travelling exists and you could travel to the past, then how come we don't have visitors from the future?
Also- If you could time travel to the future, doesn't that imply that there is only one timeline? Like, lets say... you want to go to December 17th, 2017. Lets say you arrive, and you witness the world as it is. What about all the other possibilities of what could have happened?

Unless we are hit by a huge asteroid or destroy ourselves with weapons not yet invented, our earth around our sun is still a late middle aged ecosystem that should last a billion more when the sun expands first, then dies. I don't plan on selling off the stocks quite yet.
If anything, the earth in its inhabitable state, at least for some other forms of life besides us, will far outlast the human race so it won't be our issue to worry about. We are just a short term tenant of this planet.
What simple life forms that started on this planet will likely be the last life forms left when it all ends.
I'd go back in time and tell myself to not invent it...
Then, I'd become my own Paradox...
Something would invariably prevent you from doing that.
i think the primary reason why we haven't "seen" anyone from the future in the present is because of an infinitely changing universe that makes time travelling impossible. right now, i am simply one possibility. there might be one where i am the CEO of Apple. or the CEO a company with identical hardware but has a cherry as a symbol. so the list continues. as such it is impossible.
How do you know? That's what scientists, and people who think about it (sci-fi readers
) pretend.But this is worth nothing, as there are no experiments that prove it. Yes, time and matter are bonded together in the form of space-time. But the implications of this in time travel are still unknown.
I guess it's true, because otherwise, you couldn't have invented the time machine, and hence couldn't go back in time, which means you could have invented the time machine, etc. But who knows
I already discovered time travel 3 years from now. Don't believe me? Here's proof.

^ That's amazing. I've very impressed. But 3 years and a week from now, people reading this thread won't be nearly as impressed.
1. No, I would not release the technology to the public. It's too dangerous.
2. I'd go back 1 week. That's all the time I need to fix a major problem.
Travel 3 days into the future and get some sports results and lottery numbers, set myself, family and friends up to have comfortable lives, and destroy the technology. I think humanity would quickly destroy itself if it was widely available, and I don't think a government or organization would be able to protect it well enough.
That and maybe go see Woodstock 69.

well question 1 i already answered so here is my answer to doc Q's question.
i would go back in time to the time my parents got married and make sure it never happened. yes, i am completely aware that would mean i would cease to exist but i wouldn't mind, that would solve several problems.
