Bit of fun: If you could visit a time or place in history - when ? And where?

I quite fancy an evening in Last Vegas watching the Rat Pack, a night as a flapper in the 20s, a Shakespeare play at the original Globe, sometime in the Tudor court or a feast in Augustus's palace so I could talk to Livia.

3.97 billion years ago to the coastline. I pee in a pool of water and start all life on earth. Record it. Head back.

Bow to me humanity. I made all of life.

You have a rather high regard for the potency of your urine.....

@slayer1am its a fair bet that my urine has bacteria that can survive in ammonia and water. Ammonia + water was like 99% of the primordial ooze.

I'd like to visit North America before the Europeans. Nothing against the continent, I just would like to see nature undisturbed.

Have to go back further in that case.
The natives wiped out almost all of the north and south American mega fauna way before the Europeans arrived.

@engineer_in_nj Did not know that!

The launch of Apollo 11 followed by the landing of the Eagle on the moon.

I would also like to watch The Mother of All Demos on December 9, 1968 -where Douglas Englebart demonstrates the first computer mouse, hypertext along with a host of other innovations.

All I can think of are nerdy science teacher ideas, lol... the first flight of Wilbur and Orville Wright. The launching of Apollo 11. The discovery of dinosaur bones. The first successful heart transplant.

Early 70s. I'd take some money with me, so I could go to some of the rock concerts I missed back then.

I was struggling to think of something but to see Hamlet at the globe would be a trip. Plus afterwords I could go all Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's court up in there.
