If you could.....
Travel back in time to visit any person, who would you visit?
|
Hmmm. I'd go back not to long ago, think around January. I met this friend of mine for the first time, after talking for months on the computer. I hardly see her anymore, though...
|
I would go back and meet myself and we would team up and solve crimes.
|
You just made two threads within a day of eachother, with the exact same title and a tangentially related question? *headasplode*
Seriously, I'd most likely visit my family circa 2000. It'd give me plenty of time to act as a mysterious helpful stranger and "fix" us before our individual faults start tearing us apart only a couple years later. >_> |
Assuming we're not allowed to travel back to the time of prophets, I would totally go back in time and see Nikola Tesla. I'll help him too.

I kind of want to visit Shakespeare. Just to see what kind of guy he was, I guess. I don't know much about him and I'm a bit curious. That and I have no one else better to visit. Not really interested in famous people tbh. XD;
I kind of want to figure out if those crazy theories about someone else writing Shakespeare's works is true. Pathetic excuse I know, and not something I've studied, but it seems like such a ~big mystery~ I want to know I suppose. |
King Mercury. And he would be alive today.
|
Most of the people I'd like to meet are alive now, however given the chance I'd go back and meet Ed Roberts. (He just died of pneumonia recently, if I'm not mistaken.) I guess I'd just see what he was like and stuff, and ask him stuff. Maybe I'd ask him for a free sample calculator or Altair 8800 kit, if he seemed nice and willing to give free samples. xD And I'd certainly get a picture with him. <3
Of course, if I went to meet him back in the 70's, he'd probably be freaked out by my fangirling him. Sure, he was the founder of MITS, but I'm sure he wasn't treated like a celebrity back then. Especially not by teenage girls. xD |
I'd meet Billy Mays.
I would have sat by his bedside the night he was supposed to die and prevent him from doing so. He'd still be here today, screaming at us on TV and forcing us to buy amazing products we don't need, don't really want, but MUST have. |
I would probably go back to see the Mayans while they were building the calender. Just to solve the 2012 crap. ;D
|
Probably around the early 90's. I'd really like to see what I missed out on culturally when I wasn't alive in that part of the decade.
|
I would think I would... go back and visit either myself, or my mom. Nonetheless, I wouldn't take the opportunity to go back in time and visit a celebrity or anything of the sort. They don't mean much to me as much as the opportunity to revisit deceased relatives, or meeting myself.

I'd totally travel back in time half a second so I could amass a mini army of myself and TAKE OVER THE WOOOOOORLD |
I'd go back and visit myself. Like when I was maybe 12/13 I'd tell myself to start working out so that I didn't go through that "fat" stage. Also I'd tell myself some lottery numbers so that I'd win and be rich also I'd tell myself to go meet my ex (well it wouldn't be my ex in the past) and I'd tell me to ask her out and to NEVER leave her. Then I'd travel back to the present time and reap the rewards of my hard work :P
|
I would visit myself when I was about a young, curious age when my dad used to hate me for asking questions all the time (so I stopped or I would ask someone else). I would tell myself to start reading right away and find answers to any questions I had. I would also tell myself to eat properly or I would end up with a weak body like I have now.
|
To be honest I'm not really sure who I would visit :|. Time traveling has never been that interesting to me and I haven't found that historical figure that would have been fun meeting face to face :/.
|
I'd go back in time and visit my uncle who was stabbed in Nov 08 a day before my birthday. Just to see him one last time.
|
Here are some...
1. Go back to the beginning of time and stop Adam and Eve from eating the forbidden fruit. 2. Go back to the 70's and begin the most epic film career ever by making all the big blockbusters such as Star Wars and Terminator and all that. 3. Stop my Dad from ever breaking his ankle and stopping him from joining the NBA. And if any of this stuff started to interfere with my birth, I would pull a Marty McFly and fix things :D |

I would see Jesus Christ and ask him to show me his powers (if he does exist). |
My ex before he chose to go to my university. I would convince him that Wisconsin State is definitely much better than Miami University. And then I would never meet him and go out with him, and he wouldn't feel the need to keep complaining about Miami.
|
Adolf Hitler.
On a personal level he was apparently a very nice, charismatic man. Anyway, so assuming I don't age during my residence in the past, I'd try to get to know him some as a child and follow his life, producing the most extensive biography known (all be it probably with his soldiering in WWI missing, that would be dangerous). I doubt I'd be able to witness his death though, so that's still a question only a few people including Heinz Linge could answer. Upon my return to the future after the war I'll publish my biography and make a mild fortune. The end. |
My grandma Emilia. She died before I was born so I never knew her. My cousin Michael says my little cousin Nicolynn and I are just like her. My mom also says I would have loved her.
I got her engagemet ring though from when my grandpa passed...it's a HUGE rock ;3 |
Like others have said, I would go back to meet myself. I would then inform myself of things to be done to avoid becoming like the older me. XD
...though I'd make sure to tell myself of what not to change. =P |

Excluding Christ (he did exist, that much is certain. It's the whole "Son of God" thing that puts people off), I think maybe Satoshi Tajiri. I'd tell him Pokemon was gonna be THIS BIG and that he should really really stay as involved as he possibly could. |
