If someone came up to you and said they had figured out a way of going 100 years into the future, no more no less. The catch being that you couldn't come back. Would you go with them?

Nope.

Is this is a trick question?

No. Everyone I know and love would probably be dead, so what's the point?

My first thought would be that they were mental so I doubt I'd want to continue talking to them let alone go anywhere with them.

Mad as a box of frogs.

All my time-travel fantasies involve sojourns into the past (and returning). I don't have any desire to head into the future, especially if it's a one-way trip.

Now, if I was approached by aliens and given the chance to sail off in their starship... yes, like a shot! (In fact, Colin and I have an understanding that we would both seize the opportunity, even if whoever was chosen wasn't allowed to take the other or even leave a farewell message.)

The thing is, we're already travelling into the future at a rate of one second per second.

I almost convinced people to buy my 'Constant Temporal Rate Transporter Head Garment' for 500 quid. Once they saw the baseball cap they were reluctant to fork out.

I'd like to see Terminator 85...

I don't know about 100 years but if time is cyclical as some theorists suggest then i would like to travel so far forward that i end up a minute behind where i started so although i travelled forward in time i would have in fact travelled back in time Muahahaha.
