I would have to agree with you on that. I would have loved to go back to that time. Right in middle possibly. Having wars without guns I would like. The traditional way. Swords and arrows.

Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.
I would travel to the year of our Lord 1307, to see my ancestors, starving and out numbered, charging the fields of Bannockburn, fighting like warrior poets, fighting like Scotsman, and winning their freedom.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
If you join the Scotsman, your joining my ancestors.
They won at Stirling Bridge (coz they kept killing the English before they had reached the end of the bridge, they kept on piling up with nowhere to go), they lost at Falkirk (Not because Wallace was betrayed, but because of mass Longbowman and I mean MASS Longbowman), then won at Bannockburn.
Or were you suggesting you joining would somehow make them lose?
Depending on who's theories on time travel you believe in, History is written and cannot be changed.
Let's say history tells that an artifact in a temple, let's say in Egypt went missing, and you went back in time and stole it, it would only be missing in the first place because you came back and stole it.
I think this phenomenom is called "The Necessity Paradox".
Like Michael J Fox in back to the future, he learned Johnny B Goode from whatshisname, and whathisname knows Johnny B Goode because MJF went back in time and played it.
Or Similarily in the game Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time, Guru Guru (The Windmill Guy) teaches Link how to play the song of storms as an adult, but only because Link "taught" it to Guru Guru 7 years prior.

If I'm going back in time, might as well head to the start. Singled-Celled Organisms ftw.
Actually, you probably wouldn't want to. Those single-celled organisms are classed in the Archaebacteria Kingdom (or was it a Phylum?). The archaebacteria were anaerobic (did not use oxygen to make energy to allow them to live). They took in compunds like Nitrogen, Ammonium (I think? I don't have my textbook around, so I cant remember much on which compund made up the atmosphere). After a while though, apparently there was a huge thunderstorm which created enough heat to cause many chemical reations which resulted in the Ozone layer which provides us with oxygen to breathe. After that, some archaebacteria evolved in bacteria, plantae, anamalia, eubacteria, viruses and protists. Thats a mere theory though.

i just love talking about that time period. but what else is interesting is i love talking about the incas, myans and aztecs. But only one vote, so that's what i chose
They would be killed by that amount of geonthermal heat, not to mention the lack of oxygen below the level where geothermal heat amounts to enough for any creature to survive if the surface area of the earth is not being heated by the sun, because it would be overcome by gases naturally produced by the geothermal heat (the gases from the mantel, which ultimately are radiated from the core, are very similar to gases let off by the "burning" process of the sun, would be hotter than the cooler oxygen, and thus displace the cooler oxygen). For example, you could not survive from the gases released from a geyser, or a fumeral (spell check?). They would all die out long before they could mutate enough to adapt to breathing toxic fumes. Also, the lack of water would probably kill them, since it would be too heated to drink. There's probably some other things, but they aren't coming to mind right now.
I thought you were an A student. Its called geothermal heat.
And I'm not sure if you meant for this, but it sounds like you're trying to make me seem like an idiot or something, which would be very rude, and almost flaming.
Yea, life was hard, but if you had no memories of your life in present day, I belive you would still find things to make you equally as happy.
Probably, I just believe that the longer humankind exists, the more opportunities are given to each separate human. And more intelligence to figure out this big complex world, haha.
This all depends on how serious the impact is. If it caused a snowball effect then they would all die, yes. But I think underestimating the possibilities, there is no evidence of how much a species can evolve during a traumatic event in a given time period. Plus underneath cities the asphault and concrete trap geothermal heat. There are so many circumstances where a few cockroaches could find a habitable niche and survive that you cant rule out their existance after a meteor collision.
Sometimes simplicity is happiness Kind of like that old adage (is that right?): "Ignorance is bliss".
Ignorance is only bliss until you find out what you're missing.

Since when do Nuclear Bombs take a long time to cause radiation damage?

Oh, I was under the impression we were talking about a nuclear holocaust/winter, not a meteor impact. And, come to think of it, if they were hiding underneath a road, they'd still be freezing their appendages off. That would be way to shallow to escape the cold, especially since a nuclear winter would block the sun, and thus could not warm the pavement.
@ Jetrall: Yeah, because I guess "you don't know what you've til' it's gone" (haha, and there's another adage).

Just think of a city as a blanket, and think of the earth as a person radiating heat. *warm and cozy*
