Time travel

[Amadeus]

If you could travel back in time (as an observer) 3 times, what would you see?

I think I'd see:
1) Dinosaurs
2) Pyramids when they were created - smooth marble surfaces
3) Jesus (I'm not religious but I'd be interested to see what he was like).

There are actually loads of interesting people I'd like to see, and there are things such as the moon landings which I've not included because there is so much film footage of it, but I'd love to have seen it all in context in terms of how people thought at the time. Seeing WWII dogfights must have been something special as well (I guess being a child where you don't realise quite what's at risk or the stress faced by adults).

I would be able to write 'hitler post' over everything in this forum ;-)

The forming of the planets

I guess in this theoretical discussion, the fact that it would take a long time to see that is not really a good argument against it... :-)
The thought of seeing the moon being formed (a big collision) is a good one, or (going back to my point) if I timed it right, seeing the dinosaurs being annihilated is kind of related.

1) the £200,000,000 Euro Millions draw and re-do my ticket
2) the beginning of facebook/google etc etc
3) my son being born

I assume you mean when it was in use? Or being made (Wales is a long way from anywhere at the best of times and adding a 150 ton lump of rock doesn't help)?

Roswell is an interesting one. Surely you could just email mr rubic - there can't be many of them, even in Hungary! :-)
As for the ignition barrel, not really the kind of thing I was expecting but hey, they're your choices and it's probably p*ssing you off - I wouldn't want to see you unhappy... :-)

1) Definitely break the rules and bitch slap myself at 18 for what happened around then.
2) Roswell- Just to see what happened
3) Kennedy assignation. To see who did it?

1. Would like to see my father one more time.
2. Would like to see my mother one more time.
3. Would like to see my son being born as many times as possible.

I would nip into the future and pick up all the lottery and sports stats before coming back.
