  Hi Sophie, great question! I would travel back in time so I could go and see what planet earth looked like when dinosaurs were alive 😀

  I think I’d have to agree with Felicity! I’d love to be able to travel back in time to watch how the Earth was formed, see how it looked through the different eras and visit my grandma (who died before I was born). Great question! 🙂

  Hi Sophie – I would love to be able to fly! I can’t really imagine how I’d do it as it would take quite a lot of flapping to get me airborne, and I would definitely need to improve the muscles in my arms (possibly need to grow some feathers too), but it would be amazing to be able to view the Earth from above and get to places quickly.

  It would certainly be incredible to see the dinosaurs in person but I’d be worried that (a) they might eat me and (b) I might not be able to get back to my time now. Though if (a) happened (b) wouldn’t be so much of a problem 😉

  I live in London and go to quite a few public science talks (aimed at a general audience) so I think it would be pretty interesting to go back just a couple of hundred years to the 1800s and hear Sir Humphrey Davy and colleagues give their public science talks at the Royal Institution (they still do science talks there, including the annual Christmas Lectures which are broadcast on television during the holidays). Or maybe see the very first moving pictures – I take films so much for granted now! Also I might manage to survive if I got stuck in the 1800s, not much chance of getting eaten either.

  Oooo I really don’t know. There are so many possibilities! I think I’d like to be able to fly because I wouldn’t have to drive to work everyday.

  Hi Sophie, for me it would be a way to generate energy for free! I think this would save so many problems we currently have with climate change and pollution caused by burning fossil fuels or the dangers caused by waste from nuclear power.

  Some great answers from fellow scientists already! Super strength would be very cool, that way I could create man-made elements myself! (This is of course dangerous, and I do not recommend becoming stronger than superman to make new elements)

  I agree with Karen, it would be great to see how the universe was formed! Although I’d also love to be able to see what the shipwrecks I find in the data looked like before they became shipwrecks. Sometimes there might be historical records that show us, but not always…

  Hmm good question! The other scientists have already come up with some great answers. Maybe reverse the effects of climate change in one day? I’m not sure how well that would work though!

  Awesome question! Braking the speed of light to time travel and do other crazy things would be cool, but I think I would like to be able to see inside a black hole and maybe even go inside, just to know what it’s like there.
