So, why not time machines in the next 10-25 years (my expected lifespan)? I can see it happening. I would love to see it happen - what would I do and where would I go in one of these machines?
My first thoughts were I'd go back to the 1879 when my great-grandparents set sail from Breman, Germany for the United States. I would love to listen to them with their thoughts, hear their excitement for starting a new life and talk about their sadness of leaving their parents/brothers/sisters/other relatives behind. I'd love to sit in their shadow (I'm not sure if they would be able to see or know me) and hear what they have to say. I would hope that I would be able to understand the Polish language. I'd want to take notes or record historical events but I'm not sure if a time machine will let me do more than watch - after all if I did much more I could be changing history.
