If I could time travel into the future, my first port of call would be the point where medical technology is at its best because, like most people on this planet, I have this aversion to dying.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I like science fiction, I like fantasy, I like time travel, so I had this idea: What if you had a phone that could call into the past?
Time travel and teleportation will have to wait. It may take centuries to master these technology. But within the coming decades, we will understand dark matter, perhaps test string theory, find planets which can harbor life, and maybe have Brain 2.0, i.e. our consciousness on a disk which will survive even after we die.
As I think about the future, I'm back where most people live their lives. Which is, death is not imminent, and that's different.
I think that people would like to, at all times, reject death and disease with technology.
I think people love this idea of leaving a message for the future. I was always fascinated by the idea of time capsules.
In my view, you can't go to the future if you haven't come from the past.
I'd rather look to the future than to the past.
We are comfortable with the fact that we cannot know personally what happened in the world before we were born, yet we are uncomfortable with the notion that we will stop engaging with time at some point in the future.
I've always been a big fan of time travel, and I'm very into the notion that some day we'll be able to do it. Beam me up!
If I got the option of going into outer space and hanging out there for a day and then coming back home and dying the next day, or just waiting around to see if there's any opportunity for the technology to develop so that I might experience outer space sometime in the future, I would probably take the ride today and die tomorrow.
