So what if...

[Baldry]

...you could add anything into history. By this I mean that this thing has existed since the beginning of time, it doesn't change history, so everything that has ever happened, happens but this was there, I hope I managed to explain this well enough.

Personally I'd have dinosaurs, dinosaurs would improve history ten fold. World war 1, with dinosaurs! The Olympics, with dinosaurs! The ice age, with dinosaurs!

So how about you, if you could add anything what would it be? Robots? Pirates? Lasers? Kittens? Nyan cat? What!

 

[TheDoctor455]

Time Machines.

Heh. No way that CAN'T change history.

And they do exist.

Natural ones do exist.
They're called Black Holes.

 

[SckizoBoy]

Boards with a mandatory 'STFU!' or 'GTFO!'

(Only comes to mind 'cos a friend of mine had to put up with first yr UG's in his materials lectures talking inane shit, to which he wanted to have an STFU board to slap them with...)

Technically, they're not really time machines, as you can only go one direction. You'll go slower relative to the rest of the universe, but you're still moving forward in time.

Plus you'll also have to deal with getting out of said black hole for it to matter at all.

 

[Count Igor]

Mandatory ninja training for everyone called Jack.
Hell yeah.

 

[Viking Incognito]

More cowbell.

 

[Cap'n Ninja]

Natural ones do exist.
They're called Black Holes.

And how do you know that they distort spacetime in such a way that it is traversable?
From what I can remember, a black hole is merely a star, collapsed into a very small area. You're no closer to time travel when you get pulled into a black hole than when you fall onto the sun.

If you want to say it pulls you to speeds faster than light, that's physically impossible unless you absolutely lose all mass at some point.

OT: Cats that have laser eyes.

More implementation of Tesla patents, particularly his efficient and underknown ones, like the Bladeless Turbine.

Instead of having basically fan blades that chop through the motive fluid, it has a set of parallel discs that move via the friction and adhesion of the fluid. Its the simplest rotary motor ever devised.

I know they exists *points at TARDIS* And maybe just maybe they keep traveling through time they actually make time how it's meant to be!

How can we be sure? I've heard it too, but I'm doubting it until we get more proof.

On Topic: I'd add a zombie. Just one, in Manhattan, during the 1920's, wait for the infection to spread, and then I'd promptly begin acting like I was from the era and get a resistance force composed of Elliot Ness (He was around that time, right? I forget, heh)and several other random chaps to fight off the zombies.

Why?

Just for something to do.

What you talkin bout no dinosaurs? I got a bunch chirping outside my window. Don't you shit on my car you damn dinosaurs!

But I digress, I would not have wanted the space race to stop. It was only 12 years from the launch of Sputnik to Apollo 11. It's been 42 years since Apollo 11.......

Uh I know, I want more dinosaurs, outside my windows, not shitting on my cars.

 

[ZtH]

I could totally go for an entity that is imobile and can't interact with the outside world on its own that consists of the collective minds of every human to have lived.

 

[Lawnmooer]

Use a time machine to go back to before you added time machines to try and but in teleportation machines and just teleport out of the black holes!

OT: The internet... Just to see just how much the internet would have devolved if it had the entirety of eternity of trolls and porn...

I was going to say a cure for cancer but I like your idea almost as much.

 

[Ilikemilkshake]

how would ww1 with dinosaurs NOT change history? xD
uhhhm, well to be honest, i'd go back in time with modern technology and conquer the world... so i guess, i'd add myself and modern technology to the past (but only i have the tech)

Or a message in lights up in the sky to not trust George Lucas.

Megaman, Megaman X and Zero were in WW1 and WW2

Screw the 3 laws! Nothing says badass like robots killin' Nazis

 

[Ranorak]

Go with me on this one.

Jeans.
Oh how the past would be a better place if everyone had good trousers to wear.

Richard Dawkins in 1st century Palestine. Just to see what would happen.
