Quick question for your table: What event occurred in 1895 related to time travel?

(This pic is a hint; and if you need a better hint, click on the pic.)

The answer of course is the publication of 
The Time Machine by H. G. Wells.

Ever since, we've all been fantasizing about going back to witness some great historic event or perhaps to change history.

It seems to me a bit like fantasizing going to the Moon or Mars. Once you learn how uncomfortable it is, it tends to lose a bit of its romance.

So let's put it to the table: If you were offered a round-trip ticket to witness and/or participate in one event in the past, what would you choose?


Shabbat Shalom
