designer Posted August 6, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I was discussing this with my son and everything we came up with could be called a fake. If you took a photo in the past and came back, it would be said to be a photoshop. Just about anything could bring back could be labeled a fake. Artifact, signature, photo, etc. My son said to teleport in front of them, but magicians disappear all the time, who would believe that? What would be indisputable proof? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie Posted August 6, 2013 #2 Share Posted August 6, 2013 What about bringing an old newspaper or manuscript with your signature on it that can be carbon dated to prove its age? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever Learning Posted August 6, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) a newspaper from the future for every day for a month put in a safety deposit box for the future, a few horse wins, a few lotto wins. i would also get the first appearance of superman comics and other superheroes. use a mobile phone to video jesus and take a few autographed photos lol Edited August 6, 2013 by Armchair Educated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aggie Posted August 6, 2013 #4 Share Posted August 6, 2013 use a mobile phone to video jesus That is why a time machine won't be allowed to be built....cause what if we go back in time and discover that some incredibly famous people never actually existed? Or were not who or how we were taught they were? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReaperS_ParadoX Posted August 6, 2013 #9 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I know IF time travel was possible I would go back and figure out who Jack The Ripper was for sure, I mean think about the possible crimes that could be solved even before they happened. anybody see Minority Report 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taun Posted August 6, 2013 #13 Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) I've always wanted to write a sci-fi story about time travel... The story would be about a time machine that can't travel back in time but can look back in time and display/record sights and sounds as they really happened... But the real story would be the court case that would invariably happen... People trying to block certain events (Muslims not wanting their Prophet filmed, Governments trying to keep some dark secret "dark", etc)... Public concern over privacy, government regulatory types... I would love to actually hire two attorneys and a judge (real ones but retired) give them the basis of the story and the "science" and then let the case unfold as it will... Two things prevent me from doing this... The money to hire the three people - and any real talent for writing... sigh...

Frank Merton Posted August 6, 2013 #18 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I don't think time travel is a meaningful idea other than the forward sense we have. This is because my view of time is one of there only exists the present. The "past" is our sense of the way the present was based on the traces it has left us and the "future" is what the continuance of changes to the present will cause it to become. Put another way, we are always in the present, each moment becoming the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiloh17 Posted August 7, 2013 #19 Share Posted August 7, 2013 From the future I'd simply say a newspaper. Then wait for the day to come, and the entire paper should match exactly word for word, when compared to the current newspaper. From the past, bring me to the future, hell, I'd know me.

ShadowSot Posted August 7, 2013 #20 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I was discussing this with my son and everything we came up with could be called a fake. If you took a photo in the past and came back, it would be said to be a photoshop. Just about anything could bring back could be labeled a fake. Artifact, signature, photo, etc. My son said to teleport in front of them, but magicians disappear all the time, who would believe that? What would be indisputable proof? You seem to be taking a bit of a nonsense approach. yes, deunkers could claim photoshop but any serious examination would reveal the photograph was unendited, video would be even better. Magicians can only appear suddenly if they have extensive preparation beforehand, if instead you just appear on command in a lab, then that is a completly different kettle of fish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReaperS_ParadoX Posted August 7, 2013 #25 Share Posted August 7, 2013 IF time travel were possible I can pretty much guarantee you that everybody wouldn't have access to it, there would probably be rules that you had to follow also, so you didn't create some type of paradox whatever that paradox may be.
