Going into the future would be interesting just to see the changes and figure out which issues we SHOULD be working on, but of course I'd be at a cultural and technological disadvantage.
Going into the past would give us an opportunity to solve all those historical mysteries, like the construction of the pyramids, the battle of Thermopylae, or the advent of the first humans. Anyone care to accompany me to Jerusalem, say around the year 30?

Certainly not into the future because you have no idea what to expect. At least in the past you have some expectations. Besides with what I know if were to go back in time I could become the richest person on Earth! I could tell Bill Gates to jump and he would ask how long he should stay up there! After I became the worlds first trillionaire I would attack certain notorious figures with everything I know about them. It would be interesting to see what happens after the first one backs down! We are all time travelers constantly moving into the future from micro second to micro second. The past still exists but whether you can randomly access any specific moment remains to seen!

The myth of physically travelling in time assumes that there is a series of physical pasts following along behind the present, and that there's a series of physical futures waiting up ahead for us to arrive. That's all nonsense! Time is not a *natural* feature of the universe. Time is nothing more than a concept we've invented with which to separate events. There's no such thing as absolute time, no Cosmic Master Clock that ticks off the one correct time for the universe.

Certainly into the future. I will go to 200 years from now to see if humanity still exists. With natural resources and fossil fuels dwindling at the current rate and nuclear weapons owned by so many countries, I might see human turning back to cavemen eating plant roots and all, a result of their own stupidity.

After scribbling a few numbers off the lotto site, I'd head back to the day before the largest unclaimed lottery drawing was drawn.

I would travel this time stream from one end to the other.
I would have been doing it for billions of years.

Its depends on our speed . We can't judge, whether we go for past or future . If we travel more than1,86,000 miles/hr then we will go for time travel and the period depends on the single second which varies during time travel.
And i would like to go for 16th century [galileo's period].

I would go to tomorrow, buy a copy of the Wall Street Journal, and then come back to today, borrow as much money as i could, and then put money down on the option contract that's going to soar tomorrow.

Shouldn't that be "when would you go?"
After major diseases conquered, so after polio in 1950's.
No risk of being drafted, so after Vietnam War into 70's
Before oil inflation destroyed savings value, ca. 1976
So 1974.
