Travel into Time and Space . . .

Travel to a different era in the future or the past is currently impossible. But what if it wasn’t? If you could go anywhere in time or space, where would you choose?

One major rule, which must be followed by time travelers, is to not disturb the surrounding. You are only allowed to witness the acts going on without interfering. This must be a moral gene that is set in all human beings, because who else would make up a rule if you’re able to time jump. So, if this was really possible, where would you want to experience?
Personally, I would love to go back to the end of the Roman Empire. To witness the daily lives of all people, and actually travel throughout the Empire seems to be amazing. To see, first hand, how items are moved from the East to the West, and how cities are built from nothing, fascinates me. To understand how people, way back then, knew about plumbing, and how to create air conditioning for large cities, would be exciting. Also, this allows for no interference, as I would merely be a student, listening to someone wiser, with the skills.
 
Another place I would want to visit is the Mongol Empire during its highest power. This empire came to be in the 13th and 14th centuries. To compare how both empires actually worked, and to see how the people in these cities are is highly interesting. Also to see how outsiders of the Empire are treated and the lifestyles of both common people the militaries. I would want to compare what each empire did to help their citizens and how they handled natural disasters.

The place I would travel to in the future would be to the year 2375 – just because. I would want to see what has happened to North America and how technology has evolved. I would want to study how plants and animals are surviving and all the geographic changes that has happened over the last 4 centuries.

This idea has been around for quite some time. There are movies and TV shows that have to do with time travel. Remember the Back to theFuture movies, where the Marty McFly an Doc Brown jumped into a 1981 DeLorean time machine? And what about the TV series “Doctor Who” where the doctor travels everywhere in the universe and go into the past, present and future through a police booth traveling machine? What makes you think that it will not be possible one day to do this?
