If you could take a one-way trip into either the past or future, which would you choose of these spans?
10 years
100 years
1000 years
10000 years
It seems like the 10 year mark would be reasonable for going to the past, but each successive timeframe makes the future more appealing to me.
Sure it is a gamble, not knowing if computers or aliens or even humans themselves have enslaved or killed off all of mankind...not to mention your intelligence would be basically cave-man like to everything else the greater amount of time involved. Whereas going that amount into the past means your intelligence is greater...but you are living amongst a bunch of relative idiots. You could try to teach people, but you run the risk of being killed based on religious or other reasons because you would know too much and do too many weird things compared to everyone else, not to mention talk "funny".
