Title basically explains it well. If you could travel back in time, where and why?
Personally, I would go back to Ancient Rome or Greece. In even a time of war and bloodshed, it does seem rather fascinating with new engineering and discoveries they did.

I recommend you read Plato's The Republic. For all the information in that book, the one thing I learned most from it is how little people in society have actually changed. It really makes you think about what life is,has been and could be. It won't actually take you back in time, but you may feel like it's close enough.

Also, The Punic Wars by Nigel Bagnall. It has some interesting views into that era, where the romans and carthaginians fought until Carthage's demise.. Sadly, during the second punic war, the romans slew archimedes at syracuse during looting and pillaging. Such a great mind to lose at a whim.

If anything, I'd rather not go back in time. It'd be great and all, but I'd always wonder what I'm missing now. History is never more fun than when you're making it.

Everyone always yells: "KILL HITLER" However that inclines a PARADOX.
You are traveling back in time to kill a famous person before he became famous, If you kill him then he never became famous, So there would have never been a reason for you to travel back in time in the first place, since he has never been famous. So kids, Killing hitler is a paradox, don't do it.


I'd travel back in time to the medieval era with a gun and an iPhone and troll everyone into thinking i'm a witch :3
