The laws of physics are descriptive, not prescriptive and so they cannot be violated. If something appears to violate a law, that only means that the current understanding of the laws of nature are inadequate or mistaken.

None of them.

Here's why...our universe is a delicately balanced system. If any one of its laws were breakable, that would throw the universe out of sync and the universe as we know it today would no longer exist.

Life on Earth, you and me, depends on everything working just so. Change one thing and...poof, we're snuffed out as a species. So, as I'm enjoying life as it is, I wouldn't touch a thing.

PS: The answer that claims travel into the past would be the choice obviously hasn't paid much attention to time travel scifi. When the scifi characters travel into the past, they almost allways screw up their present in doing so. It's called the "butterfly effect."

Isn't that obvious?
Who wouldn't talk themselves in the past and warn of the mistakes they are about to make?
Or, more simply, put a few bucks into a high yield savings account?

I think time travel would be number 1 answer...
