You are of course completely right about the former. I wasn't suggesting that someone would or wouldn't have knowledge of the future, simply that you'd have the opportunity to witness such events. I'm sure there are plenty of events now that are worthy of attending, and just down the road too (LHC switch-on maybe) but damned one-temporal-directional memory gets in the way. The things I put forward were suggestions of ideas for things to do, not that I'd suggest you attempt to do them all and you're right in that you'd probably end up running out of money if you tried. I'm trying to remember a set of films I saw, from a pair of then extremely rich people who largely lived on cruise lineers during the inter-war years. They filmed all kinds of stuff, like pre-war france and germany and the ceremonies of various south and east asian islands. I can't remember their names though but I'm fairly sure the video is public domain. Of course, I digress. Thankyou for your comment, it's always good to be challenged and I think you raise a number of good points.
