Assume you have all the luxuries of a modern life in your Tardis (toilet, hot showers, TV, books, game console, ...) which doubles as a mini self-sufficient apartment with it's own energy stores and generation.
Where in history would you go if comfort wasn't an issue?
I’ll visit past me and leave some letters that contain useful information. You know, don’t trust those people, avoid doing this mistake, know yourself etc. would be interesting to see how that timeline diverges from my own.
Actually. now that I’ve opened this door, might as well try influencing world history on a larger scale. How about I visit certain key moments where a dangerous person almost died, but survived to cause massive harm later down the line. Would be really interesting to see how history plays out after nudging Hitler a little bit closer than to that suitcase. History is just full of special moments like that.
I wouldn’t be a passive observer. I would actively change things to see what happens.
BTW, I believe in the many words interpretation of quantum physics, so all possibilities are equally real and they all exist simultaneously. No matter how hard you try to fix things or how badly you mess things up, that disaster branch was already there, always will be.
I would give John Hinckley Jr some shooting lessons.
Exactly! That’s the sort of time travel I’m talking about!
Next stop: 1095, the office of Alexios I Komnenos. Who wants to see what the world looks like without the crusades?
I wouldn't mind being there at the end of the children's crusade, at the edge of the Mediterranean, as scores of kids wait for it to part. I'd just be there with a table and a chair, selling them Yo-yos
Bring some ice cream too. Those kids will never be the same after that.
