Time Travel Questions

I've been thinking about time travel a lot lately and there's always so many questions. Why? Because I'm writing a time travel book, naturally. Haha!





One of my author friends, the amazing Lucy McConnell, asked a time travel question today. She asked: If you could go back to any moment in history, when would it be and why?

This question hurts my brain. There are so many amazing events in history, I don't know how I'd even begin to decide.

And of course, there's always the side question dealing with time AND space. Even if you could go back in time, could you go back to any place you'd like as well? Or would I be stuck going back in time where I am?

If that's the case, I live in Utah, so there's quite a few historical events and figures I'd love to witness and meet here, but man, oh man to be present at the signing of the Declaration of Independence, or to pop in on the building of the pyramids, or Stonehenge, or to travel to New Testament times and listen to the sermon on the mount.

But then, that brings up more questions. If we go back in time, can we talk to people, or must we remain quiet witnesses? Will we change history if we get involved or would it be impossible for us to change history because we've technically always been apart of it since we went back?

See what I mean? Sooooo many questions.

I'd love to know what you think? Where would you go? Can you go anywhere or only back where you physically are? Can you be an active participant in events? Or would that change history?

And, if you have any suggestions for time travel novels, I've got a bookshelf I've created just for them. I'm making my way through as many as I can before I dive in too deep into mine. Haha!

Please leave your suggestions in the comments! This girl needs all the help she can get.
