event would you go and check out. For myself there are so many. I'd like to see the Parthenon in all its glory when it was first built. I would listen to Aristotle as he teaches Alexander the Great. I would also want to meet Jesus, see his miracles. I would be interested in seeing the Coliseum built and that is just a start.

I would also love to listen and learn from the ancient philosophers. Leonardo da Vinci is another great mind I would love to learn from. I would make several stops to Beethoven, Bach and Mozart to see what motivated each one. In the East I would visit with Confucius. If their was indeed a Solomon, he would be another I would love to listen to and learn from. Mother Teresa, Madeleine Albright, Henry Kissinger and Margret Thatcher are more recent people I would like to meet. I would really like to see how the pyramids of Giza were built. Be there at key moments when the U.S. was formed by our forefathers. And so many more times, people and places... ‹(°¿°)›

I agree, if I could move the time machine over and over again I would just stretch out the time and hope that I could see and record it all. Oh the history books we could rewrite Jumpinjack on the magical mystery tour.

Traveling through time would be right at the top of my wish list. The things I can see and witness. The people I can meet and learn from. One of my favorite shows is based loosely on the proposition of time travel. Doctor Who. It is a TV series from Britain that has been running since the late 60s early 70s. Check it out if you enjoy time travel and adventure. ‹(°¿°)›

Sci-Fi channel has an update show (also I believe from Britain) called Dr. No. He travels through time, but is alien. Time travel and the logistics of it all have always interested me. I do believe it is possible and I believe that outer space is the key because for instance we see starlight that has traveled to our vision over a long period of time. If we could harness that light... Oh well...I also have crazy thoughts about people that suddenly theorize for instance the non-existence of Shakespeare etc... that they were able to somehow break the space-time continuam, (did I spell that right?) travel back, return and are now reporting to us on the one trip they were allowed. If you were allowed just one trip back in time, then given all your answers, which would you pick?Personally, I would forego answering my own questions and travel back to try to change an impending atrocity, such as interrupting Hitler's terror.

I would like to go back to a past when empress Elizabeth lived.I have been seen so many movies about her and she really fascinate me.I would like to see her life, how what is, the beautufil dresses and differencies between people back there and now. I am sure it would be appealing.All the time, whenever I read or watch any autobiography, I wonder if it's really true or something is missing or make up. There are so many other people who I would like to meet.I am interested in art, so that would be pleasure to meet few artist like Leonardo Da vinci, Shakeaspeare,....and many others and see where all that inspiration come from.
