What is it that makes time travel possible?
There was a famous Scientist who was hanging a clock on his toilet and he fell and hit his head on the sink and then he had a vision. He said that he had a vision of the thing that made time travel possible. What was it? I forgot.

1. That was fiction
What can really make time travel possible is approaching the speed of light over a period of time in outer space. Of course, the time gained is offset by the time lost on Earth.

See Einstein.

PS: There is, in reality, no Flux Capacitor.



B-)

3. Well, the process is this ...
First, you need to get a Klingon Bird of Prey. Once you've got that, you need to build up to warp nine and slingshot around the sun. If you're very lucky, you'll end up back in the 1980s for all sorts of kooky adventures.

(Sorry, I watched Star Trek tonight.)

5. OK, here's the answer....
....e=KL*+3GrT^-IOyT(3*4)=56HRP{45-OY} T<5B. Now, apply that theory with a tablet of alka seltzer, and - voila - time travel!!

6. time is all in your head
the only reason you do not travel through time is because you, and the Deaf-Mutes around you have been brainwashed into believeing that this plain of existence is all there is

7. You can see a time machine anytime the power goes out...
2- 3 days without power reminds you that the future is not assured.

11. non-mechanical time travel is certainly possible...learn how to
control astral projection (which you do every night when you dream) and you can travel through time and space.


ever seen the butterfly effect?
