Where would you go? I would most want to go see the dinosaurs. If you could change things I would try to stop 9/11 since not only was it really bad in it's own right but we wouldnt have had the wars and other stuff if it never happened
You cant travel back in time so why bother thinking about it, as far as we know causality can never be violated. However I would ask you to look to the future. To do this you will need to understand the past, not in the simplistic terms of the mass media but in real terms. I ask you this: do you really think 9-11 was an incident that was isolated from external causes? I ask this because your post suggests it. This is what I mean by understanding the past, 9-11 was nothing more than a symptom of much deeper issues which go back decades.
So yes in a way you can time travel, but not in the way you suggest. Travel back in time to find as best you can "the truth" behind contemporary events. This, I believe is the only way Humanity and therefore life as we know it, can have a sustainable and peaceful future.
