If you could travel back to any point in time, where would you go?

I'd go back to September 10, 2001 to stop Bush from doing 9/11.

How about you go back to 1993 and drop back into school?

protective bubble, no interaction? the big bang.

if my tardis allowed me to interact and speak the local language, probably Rome during the height of Augustus.

Why? You wouldn't be able to sense it in any way.

It'd be easier to track down winning lotto numbers and get instant money.

And also instant publicity with everyone coming to beg you for money.

When the dial "A201" reached 109 I would have pushed the dashpot damper twice. Things would be significantly different today. That is all I have to say about that. 😵

Wouldn't it be funny if Jesus was a actually a bastard, the result of some whore having an affair with another man that rationalized the birth as an "immaculate conception" from god to expain her swollen belly to her husband? Only one way to find out.

Are you going to travel back in time and ask the author?

3 years ago on December 2nd, 10AM. Should've put the the coach in P instead of leaving it on D, even though I had the parking brake on. Stupid...

I'd go watch something epic like the Fall of Persia, Jerusalem, Carthage, Stalingrad, Gettysburg, Hastings, Little Big Horn, etc. Maybe go see the Aztec reactions when Cortez showed up or watch the fall of that empire.

Rules: Can only travel to past, not forward. No interaction, imagine viewing from a "protective capsule" in the sky.

Most people have ignored this, I somewhat blame the lack of emphasis in the OP - but honestly most folks choose to do whatever the hell they want anyway. :\

Formation of the moon is a good one, on that note I'd REALLY love to see mars back when it might possibly have been a fertile blue planet.

Rome would be a great thing to study, as would the American wars.

On that note, is the Trojan horse real? I'd find out.

I went "back in time" to 8:57 yesterday and bolded the rules in the OP.


Dammit! And that broke the rules.

Thank you!

Mars would be an EXCELLENT choice! I've read that it's been a dead planet for at least a billion years? That's a long way back, but it would be cool to see it with free flowing water.

As for the moon, doesn't the theory state that another smaller planet COLLIDED with the Earth, and the remaining fragments formed the moon? If so, that would be a hell of a show.
