I dont know why no one said they would like to see the greek philosophers.
I feel I could finally see some real thinking.

Beginning of time, Creation of the universe and evolution of humanity, and bring back some evidence (to prove Creationists/religions possibly, wrong 
)
Extinction of the dinosaurs, such an awesome (in the non-amazing sense) and powerful event
Hitler's election campaign-to try and figure out why exactly people believed in him
The Cuban Revolution-I like Cuba
Assassination of JFK-to find out who did it
Probably the whole of my childhood, to try and find out why I'm how I am today

As has been said, medicine, chemistry, mathematics etc. Probably the biggest one (and the one I first thought of) was military technology and methodologies. Assassinations and so forth. If you don't think these are great advancements in human technology and psyche, watch that speech the president guy makes in "Armageddon". Some of the greatest advancements ever made were made during wars.Fondant said:
Personally I'd go back in time to stand on the grassy knoll and yell "duck!" (Obscure TV references abound), or try witness the birth of man Space Odyssey style - to see if we evolved or were just created. Or if the monolith exists
What? Idk the whole eye for an eye system, plus the barbaric treatment of women, I mean it was bad then, to do it now is unacceptablej-e-f-f-e-r-s said:
Anyway, I wanna see the French revolution (from a distance).
Isn't that more of a cultural/religious thing? I mean, Muslim (Islamic/Arabic science etc.) society -has- made many achievments to science and the arts.needsmosleep said:
Anyway...history events...hmm, well, I think I'd like to visit the earth when we still had Pangaea, you know, just to see what things were like.
Also met and chatted with Sandy Petersen (Call of Cthulu), Greg Costikyan(Paranoia) [who called me 'the most weaselly player he's ever met': So proud!!!!], as well as a host of BBC TV stars.cleverlymadeup said:i missed my chance to meet him when he was around, i was sad, tho i surprised the hell out of Ed Greenwood when i walked by him and asked if he was himself or not.The_root_of_all_evil said:One of the other things I've managed which I'm proud of.

Like the one quoted half a page above you?...I swear I'm ressurecting that "How far back do you read?" thread.Gitsnik said:
For me it'd be the bloodiest battle in history, the Battle of Stalingrad. I'm immensely interested in the Eastern Front of WWII and I am especially fascinated at how the Russians managed to hold out on this thin strip of bombed out buildings, rubble and twisted metal.
Of course there's a lot of Eastern Front battles I'd like to get a first hand look at, but this would be my first choice if it were a possibility.
