If There Was a Time Machine

If there was a time machine that you could use to travel to one time and back, and you only have 1 hour to look around were would you go. Also what ever you do it does not affect anything. That way you don't need to worry about killing us all. No consequences. Also the time machine is the size of a telephone booth so anything you take has to fit in it.
Please post time and why.

I would go back in time to like 2005 or 2006 to tell my past self to accept himself as the way he is. And to admit it really soon.

Can't, as from the OP, nothing you do would affect anything, so you would only be an observer.

Me, I'd go into the future, for next week, watch the Powerball drawing (so just observing). Then, come back and play those numbers...5 times ($10 to ensure I get the lion's share of any winnings).

The "change" I'm making is in the present, so doesn't violate your rule....

I was thinking about going back and changing a peace of history to see how it would affect stuff, But it would change back to how it is so it would not be a bad thing.

I'd go back to 1984 and tell myself, MICROSOFT!
Dump everything you can into it for the next 20 years and then buy an island and dump all of the stock!

Or if nothing could be done, I guess I'd go look at some dinosaurs.

I'm saying you could change stuff, but after the hour it changes back. That way you don't mess anything up.

Again, can't make changes during the trip, from the OP, you'd be an unseen/unfelt observer only, if you couldn't change anything.

I'm saying you could change stuff, but after the hour it changes back. That way you don't mess anything up.

Then anything you tell your old self would be forgotten in an hour.

Going forward, observing, then acting in the PRESENT though, you could make changes to the present of course, from your rule.

Darn it!

Note to the universe...don't EVER give Gazrok a time machine....

Good point. You probably could learn a-lot from just going back and observing what would happen.

I'd watch Anne Boleyn's final moments. Or Henry VIII's secret nuptials to Anne, Catherine Howard, or Jane Seymour.

I don't know why, but that time period of history absolutely fascinates me.

Oh, and I'd like to observe Jesus' tomb on that third day. Just in case.

I'd go back to the moon landing, during the time that they were on the moon. I'd like to run around and explore the dark side of the moon.
