Re: What If: & what would you take with you?
if anyone's ever played command and conquer red alert they would know what i was on about... do like einstein did and go back and erase hitler from existence 
and get rid of stalin saddam hussein just for good measure...
...though we might end up with a weird "future" if all the baddies didnt exist...

I'd probably take my cell phone with me.

You could also get that diamond necklace & make sure that you have a decent survival suit just in case they do not believe you.

Very good point there.
I doubt history can be changed then in that case as then it would disrupt a million other things down the line.
Anyone think it could be possible ? I dont know.
Still it would be fun to be onboard, before the sinking obviously.
Maybe I could go and sabbotage the engines to stop the boat going any further towards the iceberg and save the day.

Good idea. On ebay that could bring me quite a nice retirement fund.

Erm.... White Starline Mobile Network ofcourse
Forgot about that slight problem.
Erm in that case I'd take some kind of invention we have now and sell it to them and get ritch.
I'd also like to go back to when my parents were younger. Imagine I'm like 22 and I'd go back and see my parents around the same age. Scary.
However that raises another question. If I go back in time am I going back as myself in the state Im in, (aged 22) or going back to my age of however many years ago.
This topic is very fascinating.
Well done for starting it and joining the forums.

Re: What If: & what would you take with you?
Errrr..I have enough trouble living in the present timeline.If I went back in time particularly back to a less technological or knowledgable period I'd really have trouble coping.
So I think I'd pass.I'd rather go to the future.

No its not - if you went back in time and changed things, by definition its already happened, so therefore everything would still be the same.
