Current Events > The ability to travel the Universe or $100 billion?

(+) Yeah! (+)

How am I supposed to teleport to the moon if I have no powers on Earth? ;)
---

I'll take the money, give $99.9B away to various causes, and live off the interest of the remaining $100M.
---

Money. I feel like traveling through the Universe, and the uncertainty of what's all there, could have the potential of fucking up your mind.
---

Travel. If I leverage it correctly, I could make far more than $100 billion. Plus, all the amazing things I could see and even confirm if there's life--intelligent life, even--out there aside from us.

Universe travel, easily

Yeah that was a headscratcher. I also don't know what the purpose of the restriction is, lol.

100 billion...that first choice would make things too complicated

So that you don't have immortality on earth, I would presume.

hate when nerds ruin these topics by abusing the alternative to the large sum of money to just end up making money anyway

it's like, way to miss the point entirely

We're gamers, it's kinda what we do.

so basically "No man's Sky" but in real life without the restrictions and with the potential of finding life? or 100 billion dollars?

I do feel like knowing whether light years affect my teleporting or not is a factor here.

There is enough speculation and knowledge about long term space travel as in being in space for more than a year or two can psychologically be damaging to folks and I don't think the many syfy stories on the subject are all together wrong. Being along in a vast endless waste could be psychologically quite miserable even if exciting at first.

so if traveling effects the earth and as such kills everyone I have ever known, and would do so each time I teleport there and back, I'd probably take the 100 billion. Though I won't lie, I'd be very tempting to take the travel the universe route.

>Link up with NASA to use my abilities for the greater good of humanity and personal profit

>Profit

100 billion, then use some of the money to go to space. >_>

Money. Wtf can the universe do for me now?
---

If I travel 30 million light years away I want to make sure when I travel back instantly then earth is still there.
---

I'd take a giant meteor and shifts its trajectory towards Earth

problem solved

I'd take the universe travel if I could be made to comprehend what I was doing.

So if need some kind of godsight to pick out and see small areas of the cosmos and remember how to teleport or fly to them.

If I can scan and go then universe.

Travel the universe, find another civilization, take all their money, come back to earth and spend it

Way more profitable than $100billion

The plrbrk to dollars exchange rate is crap.

To answer some of your worries, let me explain a little. There are two major causes of time dilation (more than years+ lost)

One is that objects closer to massive centers of gravities move slower in time than those further away and the relative velocities of these objects affects a desync of time. So the flow would be pretty heavily affected when you're around a black hole or other objects with immense gravity.

To illustrate, a planet orbiting a star near the the very edge of the Milky Way in relation to Earth should face a desync of about 1 second every 25 years. This is on a larger scale in relation to the Milky Way's center supermassive black hole, as the center of gravity and the object's velocities in relation to it cause the desync.

So for argument's sake, I'll say that time is uniform around the Universe because time can be flowing very differently around the Universe like said and it could fuck things up.

The second major cause of time dilation is going sub-light close to c. So unless you intentionally want to travel into the future, there's no reason to go at those speeds.

I limited things to the Moon because then everybody would just take the "travel the Universe" option and chill on Earth with all the benefits.

Still just gonna chill on the moon and threaten the earth with asteroids so they build me a dope moon Pyramid and revere me as some kind of moon God.
