Help! I've invented a time machine!
« on: 18-06-2009, 23:06:43 »
Ok, I've invented a time machine. However, I did something very silly; the blueprints are glued to the side of it. So I can only use it once, and cant make a new one. It only goes backwards, but goes backwards to any date you want. It has dimensions of 2m*2m*2m, and I've decided to send it back to December 7, 1939, where it will cleverly drop boxes into the US Postal System, to be mailed anywhere in the world. So, my question for you, my only friends the most historically knowledgeable people I know is, what should I send, and where should I send it? Also, can you recommend a better date?

Here's the trick. The only thing I know about the conditions during the trip are that the temperature will be below 500 degrees and will be one month long. The temperature may be high enough to incinerate books, so please select a fireproof option in addition to a book, if you choose a book.

I want to send the breech assembly of the Bofors L/70. Also, a round of APFSDS ammunition (excluding propellants) to the US War Department.

Err... the time machine only goes one way, mega. You're sending things back, not bringing things forward. Though that gives me an idea, if I reverse the polarity of my flux capacitors and use dark negative energy instead of normal negative energy...

I'd send the blueprints and a general description of the Centurion tank to the Ministry of War.  And they'd be etched onto tungsten sheets to protect them from the heat.

A rock. With a piece of cloth around it which says: 'you guys sock'.

They would be so confused. 'Where the hell is this coming from?'

Haha, a list of confusing advice about the Second World War is a genius idea TS.

"Alright, first bail on the Poles, they suck. After that just bail on Norway, the Lowlands, Denmark and France, they also suck balls. And don't meddle in North-Africa and leave Russia alone. For the US, watch out for the Japs, and get your ships out of PH, noob. Oh and kidnap that Einstein guy and he'll make you a free atomic bomb!"

I think the electronic devices in that thing may prove to be unreproducable.

well, I think a 2x2x2m box will fit enough information on how to bring that beast to life. Send like a movie that shows exactly how to build it, piece by piece. but they may have some problems with the computers in it, unless they send a strip down analog version of it
