…But it’s not working properly. Instead of giving you unlimited accest to history, past, present and future, it gives you two choices. You may travel 1000 years into the past or 1000 years into the future. These are your only choices, and if you don’t chose one, you die. Which do you chose?
1000 years ago Well, asuming that you retain some basic knowledge from today, you could set yourself up as a god. You’ve been imunised against disease, and with a little luck, you’ll rule your section of the world. Downside, it’ll be a year 1000 world. Superstition will rule lives, reason scoffed at, and while you will get the chance to see how our society was formed, you have a pretty good shot at being burned as a witch.
**1000 years from now[/w] You’ll get to see how it all turns out. You’ll know the winners of the next 1000 Super Bowls. Unfortunately, you’ll be an anacronism a milenium out of date. What we know now will likely be seen as quaint and inaccurate by the locals.
You didn’t mention a return-trip on the semi-working time machine. You might find out who won the super-bowls and whatevers…
You might gain more physical loot from the past (again assuming a return trip) while technology would be the thing to bring from the future.
Just dedicate the rest of your life to perfecting this contraption of a time-machine, and when it’s ready - travel back to now and tell yourself how you did it.
Although I suppose I’d be real lonely if everyone was dead.
Hmmm.
Nah, I’m sure Weena’s areound there somewhere. If not I shall injoy a life of true leisure.
