When and where would you go, what would you do and why and how?

I would go back to the time of Sir Robert Boyle and hand him a copy of every chemistry textbook today. Since he is the founder of chemistry as a science, since that's what he changed alchemy into, I think it would be interesting to see how advanced the science would be now.

if I could go back in time I would go back to a few months ago and then have a time loop of repeating those days like houndog day, just that it will be months instead of one day.

I'd travel back to 1977 London, and stay there until I'm ready to change, again.

I would like to attend the first Olympic Games in Athens, Greece in 1896.

I would also like to see Roger Bannister break the four minute mile at Iffley Road in London in 1954.

This question sure gets asked a lot. :?

Anyway, I'd probably go back to Europe during the Renaissance.

Since I've changed again, I've been wanting to travel back to 1965 London.
