… but couldn’t return to the present, would you do it?
Imagine you can go anywhere, anywhen, as many places and times as you wanted. Find out whether there really was someone on the grassy knoll, if Jesus walked through Palestine, whether Neanderthals and Cro Magnons got it on or killed each other, what really happened when the K-T boundary meteor hit. You simply couldn’t return to the time you came from, or pop into the future.
A couple of geologist friends and I all agreed that we’d do it, but only after we’d lived a pretty full life here first (although not waiting to the point of decrepitude before starting our travels). We’d be dying to know whether all our hypothesizing was anywhere near the mark! I figure this might be appealing to history buffs too. How about you?
