    No but now I want to. I dumped Hulu in favor of Amazon, now they are emailing me a 2-week free offer. I think tonight I'll start it again.

    Well, I got Hulu back last night and watched "11/22/63". How could I have NOT recognized that date before I watched it? Shame on me. I liked it too and will continue the series. The cars and the music seemed spot on, except for one song I didn't recall. Which is odd. My grandson read the book but he won't be a spoiler.

    Travelling back in time entails a serious possibility: the ability to know the future accurately while back there, and therefore change future events which have already occurred....like preventing wars?

    Changing one thing, changes many others things too. You could change something for a worse outcome then a war had.

    How right you are, Chrissy! I hoped someone would "see" that. Good going! FS

    Of course, one could really clean up at the bookies!

    One of my most favorite movies is called "Frequency" (starring Dennis Quaid). Although it is not exactly a time travel movie, it has a lot of similarities, through a tie-in with a weather anomaly that creates a window for a time-jump.
    As @Chrissy Page mentioned, when you change one thing, it can change other things, and Frequency is a great example of how that can happen.

    There are some very interesting pictures on the internet that do look like they could be of time travelers, and one well-known one is of a person that appears to have either a cell phone or modern type camera in his hand, and is wearing a screen-printed t-shirt, and very modern looking sunglasses.
    He is seen standing in a group of people who are watching an event from maybe the 1930's era (can't remember that exact detail at the moment), and everyone else in the picture looks like they are time-correct for the event, which actually did take place at the time mentioned in the picture information.

    Here is the trailer for Frequency, and if you haven't seen it before, it is worth watching .

    I've read the different posts, and they're all interesting. One thing would keep me grounded in today though. Being a woman was not an advantage in the past. Most women belonged to someone.other than themselves. There would be no going where I wanted to, doing what I wanted, much less getting to talk to any scholars.

    History does not paint a welcoming picture for women. Can your time machine make us gender neutral. If this was an option, I would like to discover Australia, before it became a colony.
