Kinda like "Being John Malkovitch" but not quite. My scenario deals with historical figures that are dead.
What if it were possible to relive someone elses life, watch it on a tv perhaps, AND hear their thoughts as they thought them...
We have Einstien's brain somewhere, right? If it were possible to "replay'" his life on a tv and listen to his thoughts, would you watch? But here's the catch...his life can only be played or watched at the same speed at which he lived. You can't fast forward or pause, or record it. His life would be playing on a TV and his thoughts would be audible, as we watch. It would be possible to watch and listen as he thought about relativity and you could witness the exact moment his ideas came to him. But you would have to watch all of the mundane stuff too, like eating and sleeping, because no one would know when he had these 'eureka' moments. You would have to dedicate a lot of YOUR own life, to watch him live his life, just to witness these moments. Would you?
Imagine if we could watch Da Vinci live his life and hear his thoughts. We could see the model for the Mona Lisa, we would watch AS he painted. We could listen to all of his thoughts and ideas.
Would you spend your time watching someone else live their life, just to learn what they were thinking and when? Or just to witness an important moment in history?
Imagine watching Lee Harvey Oswald's life, and witnessing the assassination of JFK. What if he didn't do it?
There are tons of moments in History I would love to witness.
