Ann Curry has this question on twitter: if TIME MACHINE were real, when and where would you go? someone replied Anne Frank, to rescue her. ...

There are two I can think of off the top of my head. I would love to be part of the drafting of the Constitution and hear the arguments of the founding fathers as it progressed. It would be fascinating to hear their thoughts as they sorted through all the potentials to consider. My whimsical side would want to redo the 9th inning of the 1986 world series so Bill Buckner could catch the ball that went right thru his legs, costing the Red Sox the series. |

 Me, I'd want to go to the future and see what happens to mankind - do we collapse into world war(s) and then rebuild, a la Star Trek TNG? Do we continue on as we are now, just expanding our technology, like in Back to the Future? Does the shit hit the fan, like in Revolution? Do we fall back into a caveman-like existence, like in Time Machine? Of course, I am kind of a check-the-next-chapter-&/or-the-end-of-the-book kind of gal, so while revisiting important things in the past seems cool, I would just love to see: what happens next?!  |

Back to the beginning of time and to knock that fruit out of Eve's hand before she had even taken the 1st bite.

I would visit my young self, give me a hug and tell me that no matter what Im going to be all right....and to keep moving forward.
I would go back to the last time i spoke with my dad on the phone, i would keep him on the phone longer and perhaps get in my car and go see him. I would visit my native ancestors and learn their traditions....

Id tell my younger self, follow that dream, feel the fear and do it anyway.
...and don't be a numpty. If I could affect anything in history I'd stop the assassination of Kennedy, even if just to prevent all the endless conspiracy theories. Also would love to ensure that Myra Hindley and Ian Brady never met. |

This was always my favorite movie. In the 60 version he could'nt take the machine with him anywhere. I was'nt living in this house seven years ago and people would freak. I would immediately play the biggest powerball numbers in the near future, and move the machine (I'll tell customs it's an art project or something)to somewhere secluded in the mountains near Israel. I will bring a tarp with me, food, some weapons, and wear a helmut and bulletproof clothes, and stuff to barter. There, I will have fun, going all the way back as far as I can without hurting the machine. Stopping to look around at intervals. I want to be at all the places where the great miracles happened. Spend time with Jesus and Mohammed. Then, I will FF into the future to find out what is happening in the middle east, if the Bible is true, especially Revelations. First, of course, I will have to get a petsitter for the furkids, and make out a will for them with a trust fund, in case I don't make it back home.

Awesome thread...
If I could time travel I would want to go forward... I would want to see my children and grandchildren after my time here on earth has gone. I would want to see how they are growing, learning, being and the world that they live in, the futuristic world... like on Back to the Future II.
If I were to go back in time I would want to travel through about 7 generations of my family's geneology, which would mean going back to Guatemala, Cuba, Spain and Hungary and invisibly just observe how my family got to where they are now. |

I would have many. First one that comes to mind is go back when Bill Gates was just starting out and invest every cent i could find to buy into Microsoft stock. Second idea....I would love to go back to the Henry VIII era. IF i would be excluded from being hanged, beheaded, drug through the streets, etc. Those clothes were magnificent and i would love to dance around the ball room with a fan.  *swoon.

On a personal note, I would go back to Sparta, Ontario ca. 1853 to find out what happened to my gg-grandfather and his wife, and why their children (including my g-grandfather) were "taken in" by their aunt and uncle. I would find out much more about this uncle, Samuel Haight, not on the direct line of ancestry but apparently a fascinating and prominent citizen anyway.
On the big picture, I would solve all the big mysteries, i.e. who was Jack the Ripper-was he Eddy, son of the future Edward VI? What happened to Jimmy Hoffa? What happened to Dorothy Arnold? And what happened to Amelia Earheart? (ok, that's more than two, even  )
