Poll question: If you could travel forward in time
Edited on Thu Jun-03-04 01:37 AM by Feanorcurufinwe
one week, would you? One way trip, no return.

1. Hard to say
If I could come back, I would take advantage of all inside information for stocks and foreign currencies and use maximum leverage to generate millions from a couple thousand - options and futures would be the ticket. I can get the illusion of going forward by a week if i go to a desolate place with no people whatsoever and no contact with the outside world for a week and return. It would be a similar experience probably - except for the fact that you did not get to do a scientific wonder! I would like to be a part of a scientific wonder and so I voted yes!

2. It would be like going into a coma for a week.
So, at what point does it become interesting enough? A year? 10 years? 100? It would suck to time travel 100 years forward if you can't come back and discover that all animal and plant life on earth has been destroyed, or something.
