"How do you want to travel?," science fiction style.

Time Travel: Traveling through time and space to various parts of history in the past and the future. - Examples include: The Back to the Future Trilogy, The Bill & Ted Movies, Doctor Who, all versions of Star Trek, etc.

Trans-Dimensional Travel: Traveling to parallel worlds in our multiverse which have different outcomes to each of their histories. - Examples include: Sliders, Turtles Forever, TMNT 2012 (Trans-Dimensional Turtles/Wanted: Bebop & Rocksteady), Star Trek: The Original Series (Mirror Mirror), Futurama (The Farnsworth Parabox), etc.

With time travel, there’s a strong chance you’ll initiate the butterfly effect and may never get back to your real future or past. With an infitie multiverse at my disposal however, I can simply visit similar yet divergent realities to my own. What if SpongeBob ended in 2004? There’s probably trillions of universes where that happened, and they’re not too radically different to our’s.

Both concepts are equally interesting and intriguing in their own right.

It'd be cool to be able to travel to different points in time, although I would probably not enjoy going to the future since my present could always be affected, or I'd be more conscientious of my actions than I probably should for such a future could be built on not having this awareness. Time Travel's kinda icky, but I think that's what fun about it.

Traveling between dimensions also sounds like a ton of fun too! It sounds like an awesome idea to be able to see what could be a potential reality and how everything plays out as a result.

I went with both, but I'd have to be aware of butterfly effects and grandfather paradoxes when traveling through time. I would love to see the future, and the progress of mankind, but I would also like to visit Ancient Rome, the Middle Ages, the Old West or any of the decades of the latter half of the 20th century from the 1950s to the 1990s to see where we have been.

I'd also like to see different parallel dimensions:
  • One where Michael Jackson is still alive.
  • One which is opposite to ours where Burger King is more popular than McDonald's (making Burger "King" true to its name), and Pepsi is the most popular soft drink in the United States, de-throning Coke in the late 1980s while they were recovering from the NEW Coke fiasco.
  • A parallel universe where the North American video game crash never happened in 1983.
  • A universe where Sega is still making video game consoles.
  • A universe where Adventure Time was picked up by Nickelodeon instead of Cartoon Network.
  • A universe that is stuck in the 1970s/1980s/1990s, where modern technology is underdeveloped.
  • A universe where Metropolis, Illinois and Townsville, North Carolina are big cities much like their fictional counterparts, or Chicago, NYC or Los Angeles.
Anything is possible

Dimensional travel have the greatest potential for creative scenarios compared to time travel.

I prefer time travel than trans-dimensional travel because I want to discover the greatest history here in the Philippines, Asia and the world. I like to dicover the following:
  • The Philippines during Spanish occupation from 1521 to 1898.
  • The Philippines during American revolution from 1898 to 1946.
  • The Philippines during 1970 to 1999 before I was born.
  • Thailand during the time of King Rama V (Chulalongkorn).
  • The Middle Ages in UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain.
  • The United States as British and French colony.
I also like to travel trans-dimensional but I must be more careful in terms of the butterfly effect.
  • The Philippines without corruption.
  • The Philippines without beer, smoking, chewing gum and drugs except marijuana.
  • The Philippines with complete infrastrcture and proper government.
  • United States without 9/11.
  • Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy without being assassinated to death.
  • The new SpongeBob without tragic episodes (e.g. A Pal for Gary, One Coarse Meal, SpongeBob, you're fired etc.) beween 1st and 2nd SB movie, making it look like classic SpongeBob from 1999 to 2004.
  • A universe where The Loud House is aired in the 90s and/or 2000s.

I would love to visit a parallel dimension where Bernie Sanders is president, Adventure Time was picked up by Nickelodeon, Toys "R" Us was sold to investors in 2008 that did not put the store into debt trying to fix the chain, and McDonald's brings back the McDLT hamburger (hot side stays hot, cold side stays cold) and the Arch Deluxe (the burger with the grown-up taste)

I would love to visit a parallel dimension where Kmart filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy, and decided to close all their U.S. and Puerto Rico stores in 2002 following a massive liquidation, as a result all Kmart store properties were sold off to various developers who reopened them as Target, Kohl's, Big Lots, Hobby Lobby, Toys "R" Us, Burlington Coat Factory, T.J. Maxx, Ollie's, Big Lots, Meijer, Lowe's, Home Depot, Menards, Michaels, Sears, Costco, or ShopKo.

I would love to visit another parallel dimension where retailers like Caldor, Prange Way, Zayre, Ames, Hills, Bradlees, Phar-Mor and Venture are still in business as of 2018, Wal-Mart hasn't expanded outside Arkansas and four or five other southern states, because the Sam Walton of that parallel dimension learned to "play it safe" by not expanding his retail empire outside his "magic circle."


I would also love to travel in time to the future, to the year 2068, when they invented a new chemical that removes fat and cholesterol from fast food when added to meat, poultry, fish and deep-fried items. This new chemical would be tested at McDonald's locations in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Seattle, Boston, London, Toronto, Montreal and Mexico City, before being introduced globally. The fat-removing chemical was designed by McDonald's scientists to help fight obesity worldwide.

WOW man! That sound's innovative. I LIKE IT!
