Time Travel Movie About A Lost Treasure

What are America’s greatest national treasures?

I’m an outsider being English, so take this with a pinch of salt if you wish. But everytime I have been to the US I have been blown away by your country and its geography. I have been to 7–8 states, so not even close to all of them, but even then, you have everything, it is simply stunning.We in the UK, may well have the history, but you chaps have the geography hands down, we are not even close.

What would happen if a time traveler saved Jesus?

If I decided that a if I could travel back in time, to save Jesus from the Romans, I would do it.But as soon as I put in a request to open a breach in space-time, which must be approved by red-tape sorts of people (bureacracy is still bs that never goes away), I got all kinds of questions that made me wonder if the trip was worth taking.If he were born in Bethlehem why was he called Jesus of Nazareth?How come after his birth there is nothing written about him at all till he reappears as an adult in the New Testament?Why does does he look like a Euro-Scandinavian with brown hair and blue eyes?Is the so-called death/killing of a god really a sacrifice that must have occurred to give reason to declare positively that “Jesus saved you from something else?”To be blunt, his martyrdom had to happen. The Romans were not “evil” but helpful!A student of St. Anselm of Canterbury had asked the fair question, “who died on the cross, a man or a god?”If a man died on the cross, and suffered horribly, that might be a kind of sacrifice except he does go on to return home to sit at his father’s right hand.If a god died on the cross, and didn’t really suffer at all, that is meaningless to anyone.Anselm’s repy was, “shut up!”The story is part emotional appeal (rhetoric) and part spiritual discourse regarding what a god is and what “sacrifice” means to omnipotent beings. Beyond that, it is a recipe for WW3 starting in Jerusalem, for no good reason whatsoever besided religious fantasy and folklore.

If we were able to travel back in time only as observers (and then return to the present), what are some likely/possible uses for, problems with, or events ensuing from the creation of such a technology?

Much of the Orson Scott Card book, Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus, featured a society that could use viewers to watch any event in the past. (The second half of the book involves a mission to change the past, knowing that it would eradicate the future that the travelers come from.)Sociology and economics would be "soft sciences" that would gain from such a device, since more information about the choices people make and the results from those choices is the fuel for these sciences. And both have direct usage in creating plans for businesses, economic systems, and money-making endeavors.Clearly the study of history would benefit, although that does not have a direct impact on our institutions. I can't think of any problems that would result from this. Aside for the desire by some to censor things humans do, like sex or murder. And, of course, there are concerns that a living individual's privacy would be invaded by time-spying on them. That's partially remedied by disallowing viewing in the most recent 100 years.Of course from now on all citizens and governments know that the time-viewer could be pointed at them. How that affects society in the long run is another (probably very interesting) Quora question.

If you could travel in time, observer only, where would you go and why?

Could be fun checking the authenticity of some famous last words. Or if indeed the commandments were ten in number.Listening to AC/DC when they were young or Freddie Mercury when he was still kicking would be grreeat.Human memory is very untrustworthy. It might be interesting to see the much younger me with my first love, to see if it was as an awww moment or as cringeworthy as I remember.Learning where a treasure is buried could be beneficial upon return. Knowledge is power, but it could be money as well.
