              So...you know the exact date of your own demise? :~ Although I suppose you could go far enough into the future to look up your own obituary, then go back to that date... But my question is...what would you be trying to learn by attending your own funeral...? I think the risk is that, were it possible, it could fundamentally change what you think of some people, even closest friends and relatives...would you risk it?

                    Here's an important twist: Are you allowed to come back, or is this a one-way trip? Would be interesting to see how people's answer would be different if that condition was introduced. I'd bet most people would think a lot harder about that choice, and that some would prefer not to go anywhere at all, despite what they think about their current circumstances...

                      Once you have established time travel as possible why would you limit yourself to one time/place only? Of course, the first time/place I would visit is to be in Hitler's bunker when he takes the poison and then follow his body out to when it was burned. I haven't had a good belly laugh for a long time.

                      - I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

                                The past is already known (albeit often massively misrepresented). The future is best left unknown.
