For the sake of the argument, you get to arrive up to 24 hours before the event starts and leave up to 24 hours after it ends.
Tough to choose, but I think it would be interesting to see what the heck was going on with the dancing plague of 1518.
Would I still be able to remember the visit? Witnessing the hiding of some long lost treasure would still be directly beneficial.
The start of the universe. The big bang, or even what came before that. The big dinner and a movie.
Given that time itself began at the Big Bang, would you get stuck there forever? I’m not familiar with the laws of “what if” scenario physics
I bet it would be like one of those shitty tiktoks/shorts where the instant the video starts the person is mid word. Because that dopamine cycle doesn’t have time for you to properly cut a video.
Personally I think the position would be harder to nail down. You can’t exactly fit a person into a singularity without some compression. So you’d have to start watching it after at least a few nanoseconds so you’d have room for your physical body.
The conception – not birth – of Jesus. Assuming God doesn’t show up, I’m still watching two human beings go at it, and that’s kind of fun on its own.
In later apocrypha Mary was described as being about 12 when she was married into the household of Joseph who was the eldest person in the town.
So in reality you’d probably be watching a child being raped, either by someone in their household before falling pregnant and being married off to someone else before she started showing, or by an old guy who married her, or by one of his older male children after she was taken into his household.
So maybe less fun than you’d think.
I had heard that Mark Twain was a fantastic orator, so I would love to be in the audience for one of his shows.
