There are many things, that happened in the past that are mysterious and would be great to know, how it really happened, i.e. Was there really a Jesus? Did the pyramids have an "alternate" meaning (besides being a tomb)? Were the Americans really on the moon?

...
But on the other side: Even if I would know the truth... who would believe me? There are too many crazy thoughts out there, I will just be another one of those!
...
So, let's just travel back in time to exact this moment and tell myself what I should write to win this contest! So I get something real out of it!

I'd travel around a 1000 years into the future, i want to see what technology would be like then and how far we would have advanced if we were still around ofcourse.

I would go back in time to Gsl #1 with all the now known builds, and the Vods of their play I feel like I could destroy so many pros with my 90apm

... thats right over all of history: WW2 - no, JFK shooting - no, the building of the pyramids - no. I would throw my hat in the ring and try and win a gsl!

If I could go back to anytime in history.. I would probably go back to 2003 and relive 7th grade-present.

I would take school more seriously and actually do my homework. I would refrain from dumping my ex-girlfriend. I would take high school sports more seriously. I would play/watch more Brood War. I would take SC2 more seriously from Beta-now and either compete, or get on the casting before Husky/HD/TotalGarbage. Would marry the girl i dumped in the 9th grade over a bet. (someone told me i couldnt get a different girl... who i dated for 6 years after girl 1) Warn my parents about the recession, and get money out of stocks. Somehow prevent the death of my sister in-law's sister who died from choking to death. Go away for college, and refrain from going somewhere local. Bet every dime i had on the Giants to beat the Patriots head-up in the 2008 Super Bowl (would have gotten GREAT odds in a straight up bet, especially if I went to vegas and bet before the season started, for the giants to win the superbowl...wooooo)

O and i would get to relive some of my best firsts. Like romantic/sexual first. First time driving. First time living away from home. First days of school/sports. First love. First fight.

Would be fun.

But o well, things are the way they are for a reason i guess. Life goes on.

(I would LOVE to go back to a historically significant event/period -maybe stop Abe Lincolns assassination or something similar- but frankly I am scared of causing a rippling affect that would cause me to never be born. So I thought it would be a better idea to go back to a time after I was already in existance, so I couldn't screw things up too bad.)

I'd travel to the time of the first human beings and teach them some basic stuff that they'll spend years to invent (wheel, writing, agriculture, etc.). And, hopefully, I'd come back to a much advanced and civilized present.

There are so many past events that I would like to have witnessed real-time. I wouldn't time-travel to change things in the past. I guess I'd go back to hear J.S. Bach perform his own music live, to see a play by Shakespeare when he was there, and to have a discussing with the great Greek philosophers. I'm also quite curious how the pyramids were actually built, so I think I'd have a look at that as well!

I'd travel to the year where the bible was created and change everywhere where Jesus is referenced to my name, and write something vague about a second coming in the year 2011, then travel to the year where the Koran was created and change Allah to my name and also tell about a second coming, then when I travel back to this time I'll do it in a public place so everyone will wonder at the second coming of their savior
then I've effectively created world peace as everyone will worship the same god; Me

I'd travel to meet my younger self and impart information that would make me rich and powerful.

But according to the Novikov self-consistency principle, it's impossible to alter the past as it would create paradoxes. If I later build a time machine and use it to meet my younger self, I would already remember my older self having visited me.

Being able to alter the past would mean having access to alternate timelines, and that is stepping into a godly dimension that invalidifies the values of man. I would then find I already exist in every possible conformation, and any attempt to change myself would be meaningless.

90% of the time, fiction screws up time travel. But I'd give the game a try anyway for entertainment.

If I could go anywhere in time, I travel back to before the bomb goes off in NYC. Save the Cheerleader, save the world.

I really hope someone gets that reference!

I would wait until Daylight Saving Time had just started in the spring, and then I would go back in time an hour so I could actually get some decent sleep.
