Going back in time, you would do one of two things:
1. re experience space time again
2. show up in a "void."
If, as suggested, the energy cost can somehow be paid cost effectively.
Now, as to fictional time travel, L Sprague DeCamp wrote a nifty little piece calle "Lest Darkness Fall" that covers a fellow who knows double entry bookkeeping dropping in on the late Roman Empire, and attempting to stop the descent into chaos. I enjoyed the book.
By contrast, Michael Chricton's recent book, Timeline I think it was, covered some voodoo quantum theory and a return to 13th century France by modern persons who were studying the period.
It was a fast read on the airplane trip I was on, but I confess to having been a little disappointed by the time the story was done:
Had I just read a book or a screen play? :D
