if you could travel in time but could go only one way which way would you go? to the past where you could take things with you and LIVE LIKE A GOD! or to the future to see what will become of this god forsaken world. what would you do?
If you went back with modern things, you'd probably be burnt at the stake for being a witch/protestant. The future for me.
I'd go back to the days of the Satsuma Rebellion. It remains one of the few eras I've not yet travelled back to. The future is awful: mung beans become the worldwide currency.
It is possible to view the past but not actually visit it. You would need to be able to travel faster than light, I hope this doesn't sound weird to some of you as I Know there are quite a few learned people on here.
