I'd just like to go back to 23rd of September 2018, about 9.45am. So I could dry my bathroom floor, preventing myself from slipping on it and smashing my knee into pieces. No more 'pleasure' of 5.5h wait for ambulance, 27 days in hospital and two surgeries...

So many periods of time would have been more exciting to live in compared to this one. We were born too late for everything  |

If it’s just a time machine you’ll end up exactly where you are in either the past or the future.
I’d want a Tardis so I could travel to different places as well as different times.
I’d go to about 29AD in Palestine just to see for myself. |

"For those considering time travel, just remember that toilet paper wasn't invented until the mid 19th century..
I’d go back to the early 19th century and invent toilet paper.  "
I was waiting for someone to swoop in with that one!  |

Really? I think we live in a Golden Age. I Just like fantasizing over other Golden Ages, the reality would probably be horrendous. |

Theres a Dr Who episode where his appearance throughout time starts to be investigated by a group of people and also a bit in 12 Monkeys where the same face appears in different historical photos. When I saw both of those I just wanted to time travel and photo bomb loads of historical events (obviously after the camera was invented) or get in the Bayeux tapestry, not for fame, just to get people head scratching!

It wouldn’t be a problem you’d just pop back to today to go to the loo and back before anyone noticed you were gone! Or take some with you |

It could be said a bit too sanitised and easy. We dont have to strive for much really. No adventure in our daily lives (this could be just my boring life of course ) |

I think I'm more Nomadically Tribal. I strive and I struggle a lot with this way of living.
Feel a bit lost without a Tribe

I like the here and now. Plus I'd be scared I did something insignificant but then set off the butterfly effect and I'd come back and everything would be different  |

I think I'd need to go back in time with a gang, as a sole outsider would probably be viewed with suspicion and captured as an invader. A group would be similarly at risk but better protected.
Whatever we do when we go to past, it will have an impact on the progression of life from that point of course. I'd like to do something beneficial - such as identifying antibiotics - eg penicillin - long before they were. Major plague outbreaks that killed the majority of living people, could be largely prevented. It would be a massive undertaking, as the people would also need to be able to produce the medication, not just have the knowledge. Obviously with the plague outbreaks, knowledge of how it spread would facilitate helping to reduce infections - prevention would be better than cure.
It would also mean education about antibiotic resistance, so that they'd still be effective today, centuries later.
I'd ensure I returned before the massive plague outbreaks spread or started.
Going to the past, to times where people had few rights and low security, would perhaps be largely impossible for me. Killed within a day or so? I'd need to be within learned circles, such as at Cambridge uni, where we could engage the right people.
The downside - millions of people saved could produce many unforeseen consequences - perhaps more wars, other health or social problems. And potentially no antibiotics that work in 2019 - perhaps that would have meant I didn't live a full life after birth. |
