    I would love to see the world pre human, but if its human history although it will sound strange I would like to see the second world war. To see humans at their bravest and strongest in the face of adversity

    Same Q?
    I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

    I'd like to see some of the pre history (before recorded history) both in Europe and Asia as well as the Americas.

    When would you choose to live if you could go back in time?

    To be honest now is good. But since I have a strange passion for tall ships, maybe 150 years ago when ships like the Cutty Sark were ruling the world would be ok, but I would miss the modern world too much.

    If you could take one modern invention back with you what would you take and why?

    Sewerage.
    150 years ago is 1865, which is only just at the end of the installation of the London sewerage system. That comes at the end of a hideous story which includes the 1854 Broad Street cholera outbreak and "The Great Stink" of 1858.
    I quite like the modern idea of not dying as a result of not having access to potable drinking water.

    Do you like the aesthetics of steampunk, dieselpunk or some other -punk? If so, which is the best?
    The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

    I don't care much for any of the punks. I prefer my scifi as straight up extrapolations of today, not alternate historys.

    If you were dying from an incurable disease and the technology existed would you have your mind downloaded to a machine in order to keep living?

    The same I said before. Maimuta carpatina ( the carpathian monkey ) by Radu Paraschivescu.

    When this year will you go on holiday?

    Not getting shot by a jealous husband?

    Do you think global warming is true and, if so, is it man made or are human activities just part of the bigger picture?
