You can GO BACK IN TIME for ONE hour, where do you go?

As title. You can visit a historical event, meet someone from the past or even go back to a place in your own time line. Only catch is that it's for ONE HOUR, so how do make it worth it and what do you do?

You can be as serious, funny or as creative as you like :smile:

I'd go back in time and meet Immanuel Kant and ask him deep philosophical questions like 'why kant I do this?' and some other things too.

A horse race so I can win some money.
I would go back to the day before my maternal grandad died (which was 18 years ago!) and let him know how the fam was doing.

i'll go back to 2009, find Michael Jackson and tell him not to do the tour and disguise him and book a ticket to some remote Island and take him to the airport then hug him really hard, thank him for everything, tell him I love him and wish him well then cry and run away back to my 2015 bedroom with the door closed while listening to his new single :redface:
go back to WWI just to experience what the soldiers experienced in order to develop an even more greater understanding and respect for what they went through :redrose:

I would like to see what actually happened in the battle at Actium as not too much is known about what actually happened and what the Roman's view was as it could be seen as a victory by both sides. I'd also like to see Rome and Portus in that hour.

You must have been heartbroken when he died :redface: do you feel sad if you listen to his music now?

I was 3 and have no memory of him. But I know a lot about him from what my mum's told me and I've seen some films he directed/was in and heard some of his songs (he was famous in Bangladesh)!

Battle of Agincourt and meeting Henry V
