My AI VR time machine is going to be so good now that I've thought of it. Imagine you could just ask for a one hour experience at the battle of Stirling Bridge or anything you want really. Half an hour with the dinosaurs. The way we create and consume media is going to change dramatically. And attention spans get even shorter, if you can instantly re-write or change what you are watching, by yourself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah but that's not the same.
It's only based on the knowledge which 21st century us has of that period.
As I see it the point is to see what it was actually like, not how history has remembered it.
Not discounting your suggested experience, but it's a different thing to what I've referenced.
Albeit yours is an actual possibility whereas mine isn't, granted.

My grandfather was a womaniser and hardcore drinker.
Unfortunately I was very young when he died but I've heard many very entertaining stories (when folk decided I was old enough to hear them) since his death.
A pub crawl with him in the 70s is where I'd like to be.

That's why I said about everyone being drunk. And everything smelling really bad.
ASI will be able to simulate the past better I am sure, based on filling in the gaps on what us humans know, in terms of experiencing the time period.
This also adds in the ability to predict the future pretty accurately. But then if we know the future, would we then try and prevent that? How would we know which future to believe based on who is presenting it?
You could play out policy decisions in real time predictive models and simulations.

Good point. Depends if time only goes forward though. Then again there wouldn't be a year 0. Just -1 to -10 after that. Or before. Depending on perspective.

Or could there be multiple timelines and we are just a junction with other people on their timeline?
Like when you are at an airport and you are stood next to hundreds of people in the same place going through security. But then a few hours later everyone is thousands of miles away from eachother?
Maybe one line is going forward and one back, and we are just meeting at a junction in the present? It would explain why a lot of people are backwards thinking. Because that's their future.

If they stopped time now, and you got the choice for time to go forward or backwards, but you would obviously not be aware either way when time starts again, what would you rather, forwards or backwards? When time is stopped, you are aware of what has happened in the past.
You also don't get younger in the backwards timeline. Say you are 30 today, you'd be 40 in 2015, 50 in 2005, 60 in 1995, 70 in 1985 and die at 80 max in 1975 due to recessions in medicine/healthcare.
You'd see football develop from position based nonsense to the excitement of the 2000s, to the rudimentary styles of the 90s to the 70s that only young ones enjoy. You'd probably pine for the 2020s style due to rose tinted glasses.
Phones would go from folding, to large, to smaller, to folding again, remove the cameras, simplified to just texting and then they get rid of them all together.
Etc.
Which way would you choose to go? Future is unknown, past is known but you go the other way?

Going back to the second world war would be fascinating

Really? Seems like it'd be facking awful
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But not fascinating? Both my parents lived through the second world war so heard a lot over the years, can't even imagine the insanity of being sat on a beach or something and watching streams of bombers just flying over heading north to bomb the shat out of Coventry or going the other way and bombing Dresden.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I lived in a flat on top of a hill in south London with the perfect view from the City to Canary Wharf and would regularly try and imagine what it must have looked like during the blitz. Absolutely terrifying and beautiful at the same time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry but this really reminded me of Alan Partridge on Hitler.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
This got me thinking. You know when you're born, basically you are living the first year of your life until your next birthday, after which you will then turn 2.
But on that day we wish the person happy 1st birthday and then from the very next day, you're living in what will be your 2nd year of life.
So why do we celebrate a person's "birth" day in arrears and celebrate birth at what would be the conclusion of that specific year from when they were born

Cos we don't know if their birth is a reason to celebrate yet. Could be a wee shiiite. Need to give them a year or so and see how they turn out, then can celebrate the anniversary of their birth accordingly.

I mean just in general. I wonder how the passage of time differs for different people, by age, what they do. Other species? Is a dog's perception of time 7x different than that of a human? They go from a teenager to an old man in like 5 of our years. Must be shiiite for them if they still perceive those 5 years in a similar way to the way we do. I wonder what species feels like it has lived the longest.
