If you could travel back in time what would you want to see or where would you go?
For myself, I would want to see Christ in the temple.
I would want to go back to last Thursday so I could buy a Lotto Max ticket with the correct numbers.
I would go back to the Tudor Era and meet Anne Boleyn and King Henry VIII. Possibly warn him that he's about to make a big mistake marrying her, but that their daughter will be the greatest queen England has ever seen.
I know you are looking for a deep, inspiration answer--but I would go back in time and see my dad in 1959. He died when I was 8 and there is so much I want to know, or my mom in 1966 before she died. After being a parent, I have so many things I want to ask them about their experience and their lives.
I have seen my Mother ( one of few memories of her) taking water from the well........
I have seen my Grandmother, makeing potash for soap, renedering lard, carrying wash water, butchering her most favored cow, plucking her hand fed chicken,
I have seen, first hand, the hardships or their lives................while my own is push button, computer decicided or dictated..........delicate or normal wash..........
My Grandmother done it ALL on a washboard................ I have SEEN this........the carrying of boiling pots of water, to be mixed with "lye soap".........
I have seen the yesterdays........................I have lived them............I have heard my Grandmother give her THANKS for running water.............no , air conditoning, no refrigerator, no freezer, no automatic washer..................................just for running water
I am blessed..........YES, blessed to know how it once was, and to know how to survive without.......
I would go back to the "wagon train".........be a cook, a washer woman............I would know, first hand..........why my Grandmother was thankful...........I would do this.............
I would not seek greatness, I would not expect to dine with kings, ( in the modern day........I am not comfortable there), I would not expect richness..............no, I would be a simple woman...........cooking for you, as you forged our country, mined silver and gold. I would be the woman in your corner, as you made our way.
This, is what I would do, in my dreams.
Yehoshua throughout his ministry.

I just finished watching the Time Travelers wife again and although the character in this film couldn't really choose where he was going, I think it would be cool if we could travel back in time and talk to like Einstien for instance or anyone that was life changing in history and ask them...

Have we reached the maximum human population carrying capacity?If you refer to the picture, this can be observed when viewing population of bacteria growing in a petri dish. If Earth is the petri dish, where do you think humans are on this chart? Is our population about to crash?
