I'd go back to ancient history, see how exactly wrong history was. And could find out exactly what stonehenge's purpose was.
If you had a time machine: what would you go back and find the truth about?

I'd like to see the walking on water and turning water into wine etc to see how it's done, or to say "you can't do it mate - you're a fraud".
MH370 would be potentially a good one although as many have said a time machine alone wouldn't help, if I got a ticket on MH370 you wouldn't live to tell the story anyway.

If I could speak Aramaic or ancient Greek I'd ask Jesus if he really knew what he was starting.
Not sure you could go back in time to the Big Bang as there would be no space for you to be in until just after. And you'd die immediately without life support.

A self-fulfilling prophecy timeloop! by going back to take a look you could be the very spaceship people have been talking about for decades.

I think we have all been there!
Still with modern technology, with hindsight, you would know to take a bug with you for such conversations.
I'd love to bug my managers office at the moment and find out what rages she goes into after our latest meeting(s)

Not wasted at all as the Jesus story contains several magic tricks that could be revealed after 20 seconds of posting "How did he do it" on here.

You might need a bit of help in order to cover all the reported crash sites and the various days on which the crash (or crashes) took place! Landing your time and space machine might be a bit difficult too as it seems the whole area was infested with huge numbers of witnesses, all milling around and staring into the sky. Mind you, looking on the bright side, none of them will say anything for 30+ years!
Personally, if I was going to go back in time to look into Roswell, I'd be tempted to get all the 'witnesses' together and ask them to at least try to come up with one coherent story!
So you have all decided where you are popping off to or as the old time travel joke forces me to say; WHEN you are popping off to, but would you step in and change events (Regardless of all the time travel related problems that would cause. (or would have caused! lol))
And knowing what you know, would you come back and tell everyone or keep it to yourself?

Take up a position on Dealey Plaza to make sure I had an excellent view of events in November '63. See what really went on that day.
Similar for Semptember 2001 at the Pentagon to see exactly what crashed into the building.
Return back to the first year at my junior school to see who stole my Whizz Wheels Aston Martin DBS and then beat the cr*p out of them.

As a grown adult? You'd be put in a mental home.
It would be so good to take all the "moon landings were faked" brigade to the site of the original landing, just as the Apollo 11 spacecraft was arriving. I suppose some of them would still insist it was a hoax though.

I'd look like a 5 year old but with adult strength so to quote the Inspector. 'It was like a tornado had picked him up and thrown the child around the classroom' 'He's in such a deep state of shock he probably won 't speak of what happened in here ! '
Oh dear that does sound a bit like a vengeful psychopath now you mentioin it PL
Still I did love that little car.
Who assassinated John F. Kennedy?
What really happened regarding Marilyn Monroe's death?
I suspect the mob was responsible for both.

In years to come, adults will be telling kids the same thing ... it's just the the Apple will be a new iPhone, and the Orange will be a mobile phone contract!
The roswell incident was explained a few years ago. Members of an alian race called the ferengi were accidenly transported back in time from the twenty third century

I was going to say I'd like to know the identity of Jack the Ripper and you beat me to it. I've seen lots of speculation but unless a confession turns up we will never know plus any confession could be faked. I'm really curious about who he was. Have you seen the Johnny Depp film? He played a detective searching for clues about the Ripper.

The latest Apple iPhone on the Orange phone network more likely!

Okay, let's say it can teleport too. Where in space and time would you go to prove the existence of the Loch Ness Monster?
Mine would be to go back and tell the truth rather than learn it. I'd go back to Tudor times and tell Henry VIII it was his bloody fault his wives weren't having boy babies so less of the divorcing and beheading. The monster!

But that isn't the truth, is it?

'From Hell'.
I have it Pink.
Based on a graphic novel which in turn was based on Stephen Knight's 'Jack The Ripper - The Final Solution' (1976).
A highly entertaining horror film but the 'royal' theory from the book is right a load of old bollocks!
I wouldn't go back, I'd go forward, and I'd go forward to the year 3,000 A.D. to see what human society and 'civilization' have become like in 984 years.
