Here are are 15 recommended time travel destinations.
Call me a purist, but I think a time machine should be used only for visiting the past. All you have to do to see any particular future event is…now what’s that phrase, again?
In my view, time travel to the future is a last-ditch effort (not requiring a time machine per se) to be used only if the other stuff doesn’t work out. Besides, if we adopt that modest and reasonable restriction, we’re able to add more interesting past events to our time travel itinerary, such as:
Fall of Troy — not just checking Helen out for hotness, to see if the Horse thing really happened
Wright Brothers’ first flight
Hannibal crossing Alps with elephants
The Big Whack — You’d want a spaceship in addition to a time machine in order to have the right perspective on this one; plus it might be a tad dangerous if viewed from the earth’s surface.
JFK assassination — Time travelers would keep going back and watch this from every possible angle.
Cleopatra — Gives us a point of comparison with Helen.
D-Day
Biblical miracles — Granted, more of a category than an event. My guess is that, as with the JFK assassination, both enthusiasts and skeptics would go back and see exactly what they expect to see.
I’m sure there are others…what am I missing?
