ok so following a non-intervention or as minimal as possible what might you want to observe.
This thought came to me when youtube popped up Queen's Performance at live aid. With the recording tech we have now can you imiagine traveling back in time an attendting that performance? or Aerosmith at their prime, Bon Jovi, Nirvana, Metallica, Madonna, etc etc. ART goes back or went back to observe and record historical events, but what sub specialties of sub specialties must there be in there, someone who studies the history of music, goes to hear the greeks, the romans, Beethoven, Motzart, Janis Joplin, goes to woodstock. an Art historian just watches Leonardo work, or the construction of the Parthenon. etc etc. what would you want to do? Clearly i would like to spend a year or 10 going to all the amazing music venues of the past and RECORD it with the most in depth recording technology i could. not the "was there a Moses, was there a person who inspired the Jesus myths, what there a flood that inspired Noah or Atlantis" i'm thinking of the more mundane things you'd be interested in if you could travel backwards and observe? |

I think i may have figured out where David and Jacob could open this world to anthology collections if they wanted to, or a great area for short stories

RFC said "refitting a Beowulfan SD to Manticoran standards would be just as difficult as refitting a standard SLN SD to those standards. In other words, it would be cheaper and faster to build new ships." |

Watch the pyramids being built
Watch Stonehenge being built Watch Krakatoa explode (from a very safe distance) Watch the Tunguska event (from a very safe distance) Watch the sealing of the Magna Carta Watch the Battle of Hastings Watch a Shakespeare play at The Globe Theatre Ride the bus with Rosa Parks Visit the court of Genghis Khan Watch the razing of Carthage Steal Hitlers wallet and some other assorted stuff... --- Jack of all trades and destructive tinkerer. Anyone who have simple solutions for complex problems is a fool. |

Good topic, surprised it hasn't been swamped.
A point to ponder is that it has been stated that the average western family sees more drama in a month on TV than an Ancient Greek Aristocrat would see in his entire life. Admittedly some modern soaps aren't up to Oedipus the King, or Lysistrata in quality, but quantity has its own quality. Woodstock is number one for me. A Beatles jam session before they became famous. Jutland. All of Joat42's list, highly commended. Pompeii (from a safe distance), have visited since. Bismark battle. A discrete video of when I met my wife 45 years ago. Waterloo. Anything from the real Jurassic. |

Because it's not going to change history, but I know it will make him have a bad day. Google it, it's from the book Chuck Klosterman IV: A Decade of Curious People and Dangerous Ideas --- Jack of all trades and destructive tinkerer. Anyone who have simple solutions for complex problems is a fool. |
