Last time this was asked, someone said the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, and I don't think they meant for the historical insights...
Me too, I used to live there.
Human extinction. Be it a massive, catastrophic event or a whimper of a thing, it would be fun to witness the end of our run through time.
You are in real time. Imagine some eerie music
Rod Serling approaches
Charles I getting a little off the top.
Assuming I have to be a passive observer, the moment when humans learned to create fire.
Pretty grim choice.
Assuming I was in some kind of protective bubble, the big bang, to see how it actually looked like.
Not a major event, but there's a number of football ⚽ matches I wish I could have been at, not least the 1961 and 1968 Scottish Cup finals.
1968 European Cup Final for me.
It'd have to be the construction of The Sphinx or the Giza pyramids for me.
I'd be kind of interested to see the gathering where the Dutch killed and ate their prime minister.
Drpends. If i was allowed to live past it, the extinction of the dinosaurs
Bring back the USSR
Probably the christians arriving in Jerusalem and killing everyone.
Which time?
Hard question. Something that had to be amazing was Times Square on V-J day. Had to been a hell of a party and a feeling knowing that mess was over.
