responses and comments:
I would like to see my grandma from my mother's side again. But I want to see her when she's not so old and blind. I want to ask her lots of questions about how she raised her children, why she loves me, and about her faith. I want to say thank you to her and I want to say I love her, too. I miss her so much. [pooksywooksy]
Yes, it is very sweet respond. [polachicago]
I would like to meet me great grandma because I never saw her in person she died before I was born.and also I like to meet Martin Luther King and Malcolm X [coco526]
Great choice.... [polachicago]

I would like to meet Jesus in his time. I would want to be in his sermons and the last supper. [mimatexas]
I'd love to see Christian Vander again but surely in other circumstances . [zatoichi2080]
Forever ,and after :) [zatoichi2080]
There are so many people from the past I'd have a long list of questions for. However, the person I'd most like to meet would be my great grandfather. For Australians, the name Ned Kelly conjures up pictures of a rogue, but, heroic villian. For non Australians, movies have been made with Heath Ledger and Mick Jaggar playing Ned. Well, my great grandfather was Michael William Kennedy and he was one of Kelly's victims. There has been a lot of speculation on exactly how Kelly killed him, one notion was that it was a mercy killing because he was so badly wounded from a runnung battle with Kelly. I'd like to find out exactly what happened in the Wombat Rangers on that fatal day. [mipen2006]
Your family for sure was part of Australian history. [polachicago]
If i get a chance to travel back in time I would like to meet my ancestors. I want to know about 100 generations of my past. and write about my ancestry. [cool_viji]
I absolutely agree. I'd be fascinated to go back and see if anyone from 300 years ago looked like me! I'd be wandering around and see this chick who looked like me and I'd flip out! [coffeeshot]
Nostradamus. I'll ask what did he see about our future here on earth. [LittleMel]
Smart. If you read Nostradamus, he did say a lot about our present time and future for planet Earth. To bad it is so hard to understand his prophecy. [polachicago]
Marco Polo and go with him on his travels. Edgar Allen Poe would ask him where and how he got ideas for his writtings. JOhn Wayne would ask if he loved doing his movies for he seemed to put everything into them. oh it would take me a life time to name them all and I have one I cant think of name he was like a phycic but more he died before I was born but I read alot of his works [Lakota12]
Great names...good inspiration [polachicago]
oh it is so difficult to answer this question...there are so many people I liked when studying...no at this moment I cannot make a choice..I love medioeval time...I would be in Paris when impressionists were all gathering there...I would be in Italy during the Renaissance to meet Michelangelo and Leonardo and Bernini and Brunelleschi...I would meet Galileo Galilei...I would be in Greece to meet Ippocrate, the one we doctors owe so much...oh history is full of great people, fortunately!!!!maybe I could meet Einstein and ask him to comb his hair!!! or meet madame Curie and thank her for her devotion to science.... [maribea]
Very smart choices, I wish to talk to them too...I was always impress by Hipocrates and Einstein.... [polachicago]
if i had a chance to travel back in time, i would like to meet my favourite hero ALEXENDER the great.. i will ask him about his life and share our ideas.. [rajeev2629]
Great history... [polachicago]
I would go back to 1915 to Trianon. And I would not let Hungary been cut down. www.webenetics.com/hungary/trianon.htm [Dolcerina]
There were other solution. The hungarians always fighted for the rights, our history is about freedom, and rights. The hungarians always saved the country and the nation. Many people died only for help others for example 1516, 1848, 1956 many many fights. Trianon is the only shame in the history. [Dolcerina]
My from the past Was Prophet Muhammad PBHU. My best atrisit is many. My best scintest is Qadeer Khan My best Persident was Qid-e- Azam [4404599]
I wish to know your choices. [polachicago]
i would like to see my father again since he died 8 months ago. i would enjoy much more that than to see any artist or famous person. [dantelutz]
..you have great heart...sory about your lost... [polachicago]
What a wonderful question. There are so many interesting people in history. Einstein would be cool, but so would Issac Newton. Of course, to hear Jesus' sermons would be the ultimate. It might be interesting to meet some of my ancestors, too. That might give some insight into my family's history. I know on my mom's side, we have some very "colorful" characters, so I've been told. We could meet the founding fathers of America and find out what they really thought about some of the things that are speculated about them. Just so many interesting people, it'd be hard to choose. [jayperiod]
Very smart thinking. [polachicago]
it would be einstein :D i like him alot, i like his theory about relativity. [fahmiri2al]
great thinker, great person... [polachicago]
I would like to meet MLK Jr. He did so much for EVERYONE. Without him and his courage my life wouldn't be what it is today. I would ask him how he found the courage to go on when all he had was negativity towards him. I would also ask him just how scared he was for his family's lives. I know that must have been very scary. He is a very influential person and without him where would we be today? [mstay4]
Yes, he made history... [polachicago]
i do want to watch the beatles perform live!ill just compare it to oasis!!hehehe [nhot2arenas]
I would do it too [polachicago]
Given the chance to travel back time I want to go back to the time when our country was amidst the quest for freedom and be one of our heroes jose rizal and andres bonifacio fighting for my country I want to be part of our history and to fight with my fellow countryman for freedom. [maribel1218]
My grandfather. He died WAY before me and my sister were born so we never got the chance to meet him, but we have heard so many wonderful things about him. I would also like to travel back to the 1800's so that I could see what it was like living in that time frame. It might have been hard, but I think that it would be worth it. [rosey3223]
I will love to meet with Fernando de Magelan. Is one of the great hero !... Of course here is so many people which all of us will want meet... [emeraldeyes]
great choice... [polachicago]
I would like to meet nobody. I would like to back in time to relive my child's life. Now we have so much problems and when we were child we didnt worry anything. :D I miss my infancy. [victor234]

I'd like to meet Paracelsus and Henri de Toulouse Lautrec [princessfrancy19]
Paracelsus, great and interesting choice!! [pendragon]
I would love to meet Sigmund Freud, and just pick his brain, talk to him about his ideas... I love reading his essays and books, I can imagine what talking to him must be like! [dani_nemi]
Nice choice.... [polachicago]
Caesar, Napoleon or Hitler. All very interesting men that shaped our world so much. The first two I admire, Hitler on the other hand I have no liking for at all for him but given the chance I would visit him in the thirties to see what the man was like rather than read about the evil he did. I think that would be very interesting. It might be controversial but what is the point of having a time machine if you wouldn't learn more about the major events in history. [Patrin]
It makes sense, I am so sensitive about Hitler, I don't like to look at his picture ever. [polachicago]
ben franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Elvis presley, Albert Einstein,James Dean.All victims of their own charisma. [pendragon]
victims of their own charisma? ....maybe [polachicago]
given a chance, i would like to meet my mom & ask for her forgiveness. express to her how regretful i am that she left us to be with God. that i regret i didn't express to her how much i love her. [mcaf1970]
Beautiful,mother always forgive. [polachicago]
I would like to go back to the early 80's when I was 20 and talk again with Andy Warhall and Truman Copide and Steve Rubel in New York on my monthly trips;-) [serge4hair]

[adidas7878]

If I could travel back in time, I would really like to meet Jesus Christ and His Apostles. It would be a great honor just to breath the same air that He breathes. [brew2x]
sounds beautiful... [polachicago]
I was just imagining before about this point and how nice it is if we can go back many years back isn't it? even though i feel all these are just fantasies, i think our science is still not developed that much as otherwise this might have been possible for sure and in my case, i would like to meet so many people whom i love and maybe i have a huge list for sure...... [alienstar]
my list is big too...... [polachicago]
I would like to meet Leonardo da Vinci and be his student. [kasia99]
beautifull, best choice :) [polachicago]
my husband when he's still young..i want to know what his appearance and life before when he was young. [apple20]
very nice...sweet...:) [polachicago]
If I could travel back in time I'd like to meet some ancient Greek persons like Socrates, Phidias, Sapphos, Aeschilus, and, above all, Homer. I love the ancient Greek culture and I'd be really very very happy to meet an ancient philosopher, poet, musician or artist.... As my favourite hobby is drawing and painting I'd like to meet a great painter of the Renaissance like Leonardo da Vinci, for instance, or another painter like the French David, I love Neoclassicism, and I'd like to know a person like David. [FrancyDafne]
Thank you :-) [FrancyDafne]
I'd love to meet Oscar Wilde and ask him what it's like to be a gay man in the 1890's. [coffeeshot]
he would have a lot to say...I am sure it was not easy... [polachicago]
alote of people but mainly shakspear:) i wouldd love working with him and to see how he thinks:) [liranlgo]
smart choice, I would like to be able to understand his lingo...:) [polachicago]
Well its quite controversial but I must say that I should meet Adolf Hitler and asked him about how he managed to develop too much progress in technology in that era with so much advancement and his brilliance about his military strategy and want to know their secret of rapid financial growth in a economy ... besides I know he was very cruel and very strong dictator thats is the worst part but still if you see the German nation still very advance in technology specially in robotic technology ... Hitler was a True genius ... but its bad that he use his ability to destroy humanity with his so called aggression . [imranali527]
Hitler was not a genius; German engineers were famous way before Hitler got his power. [polachicago]
If i have the chance to go back in the time then i will start my life from the day when met with my late friend (Ahmer) who just recently died in an road accident and start living with him in order to regain all the fun and moj masti that was with him but thats only the wish and i know it cannot happen :( [billabadmash]
it is very sad...I have few friends who died, and I always feel like going back in time to see them... [polachicago]
