Time Travel – What If? Student Sample Courtesy of Scholastic.com, adapted by Linda Gaddis 7/21/2010.

“Where would you go?” I would go to the 1970s. I think I would like to travel to New York City during that time. I am interested in sports, especially baseball. New York would have been a great place to visit and watch a baseball game at the finest stadium of all -- Yankee Stadium. I think it would be interesting to go to New York Yankee Stadium because it looks exactly the same now as it did in It is one of the stadiums that hasn’t changed, and it would be great to visit then and even now.

“Which year or period of time would you travel to?” I would like to land in I would like to see how people lived in 1970.

“Who would you want to meet or what event would you want to witness?” I would like to go to Yankee Stadium and meet the great catcher, Thurman Munson.

“Where would you find this person or see this event?” I would like to go to Yankee Stadium and meet the great catcher, Thurman Munson. I would get a ticket right behind home plate to see him when he made his great catches. I would also go on another night and sit in the right field bleachers. I would try to catch one of his great hits. Thurman was the best catcher in the American League. He hit 113 home runs. I would like to be there in 1970 to see Thurman Munson when he hit.302 Thurman was the best catcher in the American League. He hit 113 home runs. I would like to be there in 1970 to see Thurman Munson when he hit.302

“Why would you want to meet this person or witness this event?” I would want to go to Yankee Stadium to see the 1970 Yankees. On November 25, Thurman Munson won Rookie of the Year.

“How might you change history?” I would tell Thurman Munson that he should never go flying because he later got killed in a plane crash in He learned how to fly his own plane so that he could fly home more often to be with his kids. Munson was good for baseball. He was a great player and a great man. I think if he had been a player longer it would have been very good for the Yankees and for baseball. If he listened to me, he might still be alive today. Thurman Munson Obituary Thurman Munson Obituary

Should Humans be allowed to travel through time? YES!!! YES!!! There are many reasons why I think humans should be allowed to travel through time. I think that we can possibly prevent horrible catastrophes like the deaths of people who die before their time (Thurman Munson, Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, Jimi Hendrix).

What does the research say? The research says that time travel is possible if we can figure out how to manipulate wormholes and create machines that will move us through them. The research says that time travel is possible if we can figure out how to manipulate wormholes and create machines that will move us through them. There are some issues with the grandmother paradox though. I still think that despite all of the research we should keep trying to travel through time. I’d pay $10,000 to hunt dinosaurs or meet Thurman Munson! There are some issues with the grandmother paradox though.
