I have finally cracked Time Travel!

Very droll ,but here is s quiz question for the CC literate geniuses  ,who was the phurst to coin the phrase and concept of "Time Travel" and what was the reasons/rational behind it ?

Einstein was the first name that came to mind but it's possibly more likely to have been earlier , so .......... Leonardo Da Vinci ?

HG Wells wrote a story about it.

Good decade.

Went to Bedworth last week, they were burning their Beatles records.

When planes land at Aberdeen airport the pilot reminds his passengers to put their watches back 50 years.

H G Wells was the first to popularise the concept of Time Travel in his book The Time Machine.

Foinavon correct ,HG Wells .Anyone read it ?

what was the reasons/rational behind it ?

Yes that's part of the question ,hopefully someone can elucidate

ok I'll have a guess. He tried to invent a time machine?

right, here is time travel for you.i want you to think of something you are going to do tomorrow and imagine your self doing it.example =getting into your car in the morning .
now i want you to think of a time after you have stopped you car and are at work.now i want you to think of yourself at work and remembering yourself getting into the car earlier in the morning .
now what you have done is created a memory of a future event,in other words you have time traveled in your mind and have the memory before the event has happened. in other words you have time traveled into the future and have the memory.Now who says it can not be done?
so lads you can remember getting into the car tomorrow morning

Yes ,yes ,keep going ,....

Oh FFS ,that's the baw burst ,evening brassy]

...to bang a girl who later dumped him?

Wrong direction m8

Girl of the future? Yes, the girl of the future was hot in the film, as I remember.

Even as a young boy watching it I fancied her. She was gorgeous, whoever she is.

Where's bodil when you need him !

so every time you remember something from your past you mind will have no problem remembering it,but today for the first time in your life brass has showed you how to create a memory of an event that has not happened yet.this proves that your mind can create your future reality if you plant the memory of its creation before the event takes place.and your sub conscious mind will do its utmost for your future reality to pan out exactly the way the memory it has stored in your brain.
so if you want that girl ,first imagine,then create the memory of the imagination,and the brain must produce the memory in your reality .
SO YOU GET WHAT EVER YOU WANT IN LIFE PROVIDED YOU HAVE A MEMORY OF FUTURE EVENT IMPRINTED IN YOU MIND.
ITS NO GOOD IMAGINING IT,YOU MUST HOLD THE MEMORY OF THE IMAGE STORED IN THE MIND BEFORE YOUR REALITY TAKES PLACE EXACTLY LIKE THE MEMORY.
AND THATS HOW THE LAW OF ATTRACTION WORKS TO PERFECTION.

And the barman said "Is this supposed to be a joke?"

A time traveller walks into a bar.

The idea of "time travel" is so obvious no way HG Wells came up with the concept, and he didn't, not by 1000s of years.

Popularising the idea of Time machine, might give you that.

As pointed out in article, even "A christmas carol" has the ghosts time travelling.

many cultures attempt to connect spiritually with ancestors through rituals ,we also have the idea of ghosts /afterlife etc but I am talking about time travel ,physically transporting to a  a time/place in the past/future via a form of transport rather than spiritually ,it’s so obvious you have failed to understand the points being intimated in the discussion .I  should have sayed “literary” rather than literate but after making the typo I decided it was fitting .Appoligies if  I confused or misled you  you JC .I too did think the idea must of been used in the past but can’t see any record of it .Think it’s fair to credit H.G. Wells with the phrase ,still looking for evidence from where the concept was taken . Again the second part of the question was the reasons behind the want for time travel and if anyone has read the original book ? Bodil would be my pointless guess .          Prob has a signed copy

When I time travel I do it spiritually so it's easy to get confused .

I read it in Primary 1.

The main character belonged to a Socialist group and devised a Time Machine so that he could travel to the future to see if the widespread poverty prevalent in Victorian London at the time, had eventually been eradicated.

Must have got a shock when the locals asked 'Min ant bihaqi aljahima?'

*Primary 7. Still got the same book and also a leather bound copy. Great read.

If you want to warp time without a machine it's actually quite simple.
You just take a jump to the left ...

A slight digression but the same author so still relevant.  I have fond memories of my granddad sitting down with me when I was little boy whilst we listened to Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds.  Today, I still think the musical was a brilliant piece of work.

He had speakers in each corner of the room and played it quite loud.  It was an experience.  For a kid.

Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds was indeed a musical masterpiece. I still have the cassettes.

H G Wells would have won a Hugo for both The Time Machine and War Of The Worlds imo.
