I give you a cozy chair and you are now going to watch the beginning of earth til today with all your senses. You won’t age, everything freezes. But once you reach this minute you will get a million dollars.

All you have to do is watch earth form from nothing to how it is now in this minute and then you will come down to earth with a million dollars and nothing changed.

Yes or no? You will see things nobody has ever seen and you can watch the dinos if you get to that point after a few million years. I will give you a chair and binoculars

      I think you would transcend crazy within a few years and gain a new enlightened perspective not available to those of us currently limited to around 120 years on the top end.

        You’d be staring out into the blackness of space for millions of years. You’d be completely insane before anything interesting even happens.

    Only if sped up, and I can pause, go back, or forth. I can’t speed up to instantly go to today though, obviously.

    But like, 100,000 years per second? Sure.

    I would pay for this opportunity. What perspective do you get to view it from and from what distance, or can your chair move around and see the whole thing?

    Can I interact with people from the past, can I use a portion of the money in relativistic currencies?

    Aka, I have some things I want to purchase for keepsake while travelling.
