You would have to stay for at least six months
Dr. King please don't go out on that balcony.
Not before m birth....but still.
That might be good, it also might be very bad. It's a big roll of the dice.
@paul1967 You mean in his work having more attention as a martyr?
@BufftonBeotch Not martyrdom so much, because Martin Luther King Jr was a passivist, but It could be any number of things from white power movements gaining more support or the impact that could have been lost on whites American consciousness. I don't have any way of measuring the effect of watching the aftermath of the murder committed by James Earl Ray on TV. I have to imagine many Americans who were willing to not get involved rethought their position after seeing just how evil it is to do nothing while white supremacist pushes back on equal rights laws. It could be however that by saving his life, you expedite a change in America and things get better quicker. I just don't know.
I would actually go to when Jesus walked the earth. I don’t believe in god so I’d really like to hear Jesus speak in person.
You might be disappointed. The Bible tends to exaggerate the qualities of its leading characters just a bit, don't you think?
I think there is a reasonable chance you wouldn't find him.
i believe that jesus lived a long life and died a Buddhist monk and is burried in a tomb in the middle east.
@pnullifidian that’s exactly why I want to go. To see the truth.
@paul1967 perhaps. But then I would know. I think he might have been the worlds first salesman.
@BAMBISPICE I would wager that you are correct.
@BAMBISPICE I'm just curious, was your statement about the life of Jesus based on any solid evidence or were you just joking?
Alpha Centauri

Why?
@paul1967 Nothing to see here, rather go there.
We don’t know the limitations here but if I could take my camera and then come back, I would go to the Royal Library of Alexandria well before it was destroyed and try to get permission to photograph every available item that I could. It would answer a lot of questions.
That would be amazing. So much lost history, art, and knowledge would be made available to us again.
That is a great idea!
@gearl Your gadgetry and knowledge of the laws of nature would have them eating from the palm of your hand. As Arthur C. Clarke noted, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
Egypt 2500 BCE, to see how they really did build pyramids, then go further back to when the Sphinx was built to ask who built it and why.
This is a question and not a dig, but don't we already know how the pyramids were built?
@paul1967 Good educated guesses but since no plans have been left to see we can't be sure. Seeing the building plans or working with the architect would to me be a dream come true. Also there are disputes going on about the age of the Sphinx.
@buzz13 At least you're not suggesting an alien influence ... right?
@pnullifidian Correcto mundo!
I'd go back 800 years, and be a Native American on the plains, before Europeans got there.
1980s man
Why 1980?
Go visit me before 'July 85 and talk me out of going camping on the 4th. ;}
@paul1967 bowie man
@LadyAlyxandrea Of course! Silly me, that would be a trip (pun intended) worth taking.
I'd go back to the American Dust Bowl and see if this farm boy could survive.
