If you could observe anything...
« on: January 01, 2012, 07:43:13 pm »
What would it be? Constraints here being that nobody then or now would know you saw it, you couldn't tell anyone what you saw, and while viewing you do not have the capacity to interact with anything. It could be a different locale, a different time, or both.

Spending eternity viewing the universe.

EVERYTHING in the universe. On the largest and smallest scales possible.

Because honestly, there are very few things in the universe not worth observing :)

If I posted that here, I'd almost certainly be banned, and likely I'd be arrested.

...we'll try a few additional constraints. You have one day with the perceptions of a normal human, and it can't be sexual. For example, I would like to witness the moon landing.

"Everything" is probably a bad idea anyway. Three words: Total Perspective Vortex.

Rules are rules, unfortunately.

It'd be neat to find out what kind of crazy technology they have in the future, I think. On the other hand, I wouldn't want knowledge of the future unless it was far beyond my lifespan.

Have we already...

*Reads thread*

Yea, we already covered that. And human perception is involved, so I guess that makes the big bang and such impossible?

Who said anything about it being sexual?  Perverts.
