Into the future, or the past, and, be present as an invisible observer: when/where would you go ?
I'll add my choice, later.

Well, hard to choose the future as we don't know what events will occur...
So I will go back in time and watch the dinosaurs get wiped out.
|

I would go back and just watch the dinosaurs live. People have speculated that the T-Rex was about as intelligent as a cat. Did it play with its prey as a cat does? Did it train it young to hunt? Inquiring minds want to know.

I'd use it to skip advert breaks on TV.

Yes. My wife seems to enjoy the commercials more that the shows too.
That's why we don't watch much TV together. She also insists on commenting on all of the action while it is happening!
I will never understand women ...

I think it would be interesting to attend my own funeral ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

So...you know the exact date of your own demise? 
Although I suppose you could go far enough into the future to look up your own obituary, then go back to that date...
But my question is...what would you be trying to learn by attending your own funeral...? I think the risk is that, were it possible, it could fundamentally change what you think of some people, even closest friends and relatives...would you risk it?
|
|
|
|
|
If your best friend did not go to your funeral would you go to theirs?
Oh, yes, I would definitely drag my rotting carcass to their funeral just to see everyone else freak out.

I'm more like Woody Allen: I'm not afraid of dying - I just don't want to be there when it happens.

I'd go way back to the moment life began on Earth. Not human life or dinosaurs or insects... the very first spark of life.
The Beer Prayer - Our lager, which art in barrels, hallowed be thy drink. Thy will be drunk, I will be drunk, at home as it is in the tavern. Give us this day our foamy head, and forgive us our spillage as we forgive those who spill against us. And lead us not to incarceration, but deliver us from hangovers. For thine is the beer, the bitter and the lager, for ever and ever. Barmen.

In the beginning the Universe was created.

When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

So go back to the Big Bang, and take one for the team...

Paradoxically, some of the bacteria you brought with you on that time machine could be that spark of life!

I'd go into the future but the way things are going, there's not much future left.
I'd probably avoid the past.

I want to see what there was before the big bang.

Then you find out your time machine divides by zero, and you're stranded there. Well done, Marc...

Well, if it's a double, I don't get an exception, I get infinity! How fitting, haha.

Before the movie starts there is just popcorn and silly commercials.

Sorry guys, i'll be bit sentimental... This is my very personal confession...
I'd like to move into the future where there's a medicine for my brother's illness. Then i'll back to 2003 to bring it to my brother...
