witness
Is there any event, real or fictional, past, present or future, that you wish you could witness first-hand?
The Big Bang is one, I'd like to see what it was like before and after we all came to be. I'd also like to see such things as a Beatles concert, the one on the rooftops in London; the bringing down of the wall in Berlin; being on the moon when the first person walked on it; the first colony built on another planet; Arthur pulling the sword from the stone; Merlin performing his magic; the speeches of Christ; one of Mark Twain's speeches; the first time Beethoven's Ode To Joy was performed in public; the look on the face of anyone when they make the discovery most important to them; the look on my own face long ago, when I was a baby and noticed flowers for the first time. There are all sorts of things, too many to list, so many I couldn't think of them all.
