DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... Time Travel.

No redo's, or anything crazy. But if you could time travel and witness an event, what would it be?

I would go back and witness the whole Trojan Horse event. man I bet that looked crazy as hell and awesome, as long as i'm just a watching lol.

I'd go back and watch the meteor hit the earth that made the dinosaurs extinct.

And i'd definitely go back and see if this mass flood from Noah actually happened.

I would also go back and see some Biblical events. Adam and Eve, The Ten Plagues, David slaying Goliath, Jesus' Crucifixion and resurrection, etc.

I want to see Ben Franklin playing the French to get their support during the revolutionary war.

I would watch the pyramids being built, Roswell incident and go see myself as a little kid.

1964 Browns championship
Jimi Hendrix playing at the Monterey Music Festival
JFK Assassination (and a camera to prove there was nobody on the grassy knoll)
Go watch the pyramids being built
Tell Grover to NOT put Mesa on the mound in 1997 (okay, that's changing history, sorry)
Watch some events from early American history (Lincoln, Washington, etc.)

I would go see Jesus feed the 5000, and I would also love to see the signing on the Declaration of Independence.

Can I just go back to Saturday night and tell myself that Taco Bell is a BAD idea?

Back:

The premiere of Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring). I'll bet that riot was- 'a riot'...

Leonard Bernstein's NY Phil debut ( subbed for an ailing Bruno Walter with NO rehearsals- ballsy!).

Ellington Band at Newport Jazz Fest, 1956.... just to hear that Paul Gonsalves sax solo.

Rostropovich's debut of Shostakovich Cello Concerto #1. (24 minutes of non-stop music learned- and MEMORIZED- in 4 days.)

Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie recording 'Hot House' in 1951







Forward:

The first landing of a manned craft on Mars.

A definitive cure for HIV.

Limb/organ regeneration through the reactivation of the Lin28a gene.

And yes, my inner nerd is showing: would like to see the first example of "faster than light" space travel (if it's even possible).

Aside from a few things that have already been said, I'd like to see what, if anything, happened to Atlantis.

Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore.

I would go back and haunt my first date with my ex wife

any change of history can be negated by death of the person who invented the time machine, once dead the time machine was not invented and history will go back to what it was before time travel , including the re-birth if you will of the person who invented the time machine.

That said i woud like to go back to the flood and the building of the pyramids.

You guys are in luck, because I invented the time machine about 20 years from now after my 3rd 27th birthday the day after 7 years from then. Quantum travel is rough. I would tell you about the Browns then, but I haven't been there then.

I'm would watch history, and I mean every event I can think of. I'm going to watch every great structure being build that I've seen on the speculation documentaries. I'd watch everything from the point of creation to now.

1) Who killed Kennedy.
2) Witness Hitler's last days to see if he really offed himself.
3) Determine Bush's and Cheney's actual involvement in 911 events and the financial collapse.
4) Mankind day one/the last day.
5) Life on Earth day one/the last day.
6) 12,500 years ago to see if Ancient Aliens Astronaut believers have a clue, especially about Puma Punku. But even more so to see if there was real technical civilization then.
7) Visit all of the ancient wonders and the origins of myths.
8) Find out where the Fort Knox gold went and where other treasures are hidden.
9) Visit various human legends when they lived to verify and know the truth once and for all.
10) Probably the most interesting/important to me, spend time with all the great thinkers, artist, inventors, leaders, my ancestors and love ones lost during my life.

I would go back and look up Art Modell at about age 20.

Hey, 40.... you need me to go with you?
You need me to hold his arms?

You pull me off him Clem once I go too far!

How big is that machine? Maybe we'll all go!

Dawg... I ain't pullin' ****!

With that azzhat, there's no such thing as "too far."



I'm hanging on till we both see...

(...wait for it...)

"The Color Purple."


Screw "messing up the space/time continuum." I don''t blow a chance like this- -ya hear me?

I hear ya.

You know, somewhere in a Parallel Universe, far far away,
our Browns ain't never lost a game and everybody is a wishin'
someone different would win for a change.

Everyone's posts are great..I share many of your post ideas...

I would probably say watch the Chinese build the Great Wall

Watch the attack of Pearl Harbor...

The gun fight at the O.K Coral

The crash at area 57

Custers last stand

Adam and Eve in the garden..

Genesis.. the creation of man.

I would go back and tel my younger self to become a Packers (born in WI) and Buckeyes (raised in OH) fan..

My life would of been more enjoyable..

I just HAD to be getting into football in 98/99. Couldn't have made a choice earlier than that..

Hell at one point, in trying to decide which team I was going to root for (being in Northern Ohio in 97/98) I said, I was born in 86.. I'll just pick the team that won the SB that year..

The Bears? Ew.. No wait, that game was PLAYED in 86.. Ok I'll go the 86 SEASON.. The Giants? Well this sucks..

Wait what's this? *turns up ESPN* Cleveland is getting a football team? Sweet..

*Watches ESPN Classic shows called "The Drive" and "The Fumble"*
*feels depressed*
*still doesn't change his mind for some reason*

Impressive list, but the above I like the best. I also would like to know where Nefertiti and various other Egyptian pharaohs (who tombs have not been found) are buried. Knowing the solution to ancient mysteries would be so cool...

Easy one for me June 29 1993 at 9:15 am . That was the moment I fulfilled my purpose in life by becoming a father . I remember looking in those beautiful eyes and feeling awed . I'd give every moment I have left in exchange for that one single moment .

I'd love to be able to watch...

The early-earth collision that ejected a large amount of matter into low earth orbit, eventually forming into the moon.

Any large meteor impact that caused a mass extinction in earth's history.

Would love to be able to see classic 70s bands in their prime (Rush, Floyd, Zeppelin, Sabbath).

There is satellite technology that shows where many ancient cities and pyramids are built. Unfortunately, I have read that many are in religiously sensitive areas, and will probably never be unearthed and explored.

Anyway .....

Satellite Images Provide Blueprint for Ancient Egypt — History in the Headlines
http://www.history.com/news/satellite-images-provide-blueprint-for-ancient-egypt

Satellites orbiting 400 miles above earth have revealed numerous hidden ancient sites across Egypt, including 17 pyramids, 1,000 tombs and 3,100 settlements, the BBC reported this week. The pioneering project, which fused cutting-edge infrared imaging with the historically low-tech field of archaeology, was funded by a grant from the BBC and spearheaded by Sarah Parcak, an Egyptologist and assistant professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

For more than a year, Parcak and her team scanned giant swaths of Egypt with a combination of NASA and commercial satellites, using techniques they had developed on a smaller scale and previously employed in regions in the South Sinai, East Delta and Middle Egypt. “The thing that was new for me was that I had never before been able to apply the technology over a broad area and test it on different environments and sites,” Parcak explained. “We scaled up our methodology across Egypt.”

The contours of ancient Egyptian homes and other buildings appear in infrared imagery because they were constructed from mud brick, a dense material that stands out from surrounding soil. As a result, the satellite images showed both known archaeological sites that have been studied and excavated for decades and other ancient treasures ostensibly buried deep beneath the sand. When Parcak and her colleagues pinpointed famous pyramids captured by the cameras, for instance, they also spotted similar-looking structures nearby, an indication that our inventory of ancient Egypt’s most iconic architectural marvels is incomplete. “For me, the exciting part is the possibility,” Parcak said. “We just don’t know what these things might be, but we know there’s something there.”

Among other significant locations, Parcak and her colleagues used the technology to create an infrared map of Tanis, an ancient Egyptian capital located near modern-day San El-Hagar that was famously portrayed in the Indiana Jones movie “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” The city provided the most compelling evidence yet for the technique’s accuracy when researchers attempted to unearth sites that cropped up in the satellite pictures. “The most important thing is to test it on the ground,” Parcak said, “so we partnered with a French archaeology team and they excavated a house or medium-sized structure that appeared on the satellite imagery.”

Sure enough, the results of the dig lined up with the satellite plan of Tanis. “When I saw what they excavated, that was an incredible validation,” Parcak recalled. “It really is like the blueprint of a city,” she added. “To get a map like that with excavation would take so long, and we got it not quite instantly but pretty quickly.”

Egyptian authorities have also hailed the technology as a major breakthrough and conducted a trial excavation at the ancient site of Saqqara. Using satellite imagery of the area as a guide, they uncovered two pyramids that had been hidden from view for centuries. Recently, Parcak met with Egypt’s antiquities minister, Zahi Hawass, and other members of the Egyptian government to discuss how these methods can be used to protect and preserve archaeological sites. She also hopes to partner with Hawass and others to develop a program that trains young Egyptians to harness the power of satellite imaging for conservation work.

Other archaeologists are already employing the new technique, including at the Angkor Wat temple complex in Cambodia. There, researchers used it to determine that one well-known site is three to four times larger than previously thought, Parcak said.

For Parcak, the precise mapping afforded by the technology has the potential to shed light on the daily lives of ancient Egyptians and the relationship they had with their natural environment. For instance, there is evidence that Egyptians moved their settlements based on the shifting of the Nile’s banks. “Ultimately, what it shows is that we need to be asking different questions about ancient Egyptian society,” she said.

Parcak expects that the technology will continue to advance, eventually becoming capable of distinguishing sites that the Nile River has covered in deep silt and rendered invisible even from space. But no matter what, she cautioned, excavation is the key to corroborating satellite imagery with 100-percent certainty. “This is just the beginning,” she said. “The important thing is to get the data out there and validate it.”

A lot of interesting things on here, even going back to see what very likely could be fictitious events (Trojan horse, various religious events).

It would be interesting to see those with your own eyes, and see if something was exaggerated, or what happened. I'd certainly like to see them.

I'd like to just continually go back in time tracing various ancestors to see how far back I could go. Seeing dinosaurs would be cool.

Christ's birth,crucifixation and Easter Sunday. Signing of Declaration of Independence,1920 World Series,building of Stonehenge and the pyrimids to name a few.

Thanks kindly, YTown! I appreciate you sharing that piece. I would have loved to have been an Egyptologist...

I would go back in time to see if Bill Clinton did indeed "NOT have sexual relations with that woman"

I'd want to witness the Watergate Break in

Someone else said it also, but Dallas in 1963. I wanna know what really happened to Kennedy (more how it happened)

I'd love to sit in a room with Henry Ford just to listen to his thinking. He was a man so far ahead of everyone else.

I'd love to go back and spend just one more day with my dad

I'd like to witness the Parting of the Red Sea.

That's about it.

You're welcome.

I wish that I would have known how much I enjoy history when I was still in school.

I just wanna see 2 things:

1. Hang out with Jesus for a few weeks.

2. Witness the building of the pyramids to shut this guy up:

Aliens or not, I want to see how they built these things. There is obviously technology that has been lost since those days.
