DON'T BUILD IT!

Has no one read any of the cautionary tales?

"A Sound of Thunder" a dinosaur hunter steps on a butterfly in the Jurasic period. When he gets home his formerly free country is now a communist dictatorship.

"A Gun for Dinosaur" a dinosaur hunter goes after T. Rex but does not have a big enough gun. He is EATEN.

Well, if Al went back and changed the 2000 election, I believe we would indeed be inhabiting an alternate universe right now.

Place subatomic particles—pion or muons—on one side of the light cylinder

Now all we need is the shrinking machine from "Honey, I Shrunk The Kids"

If a time machine could be invented it would already be invented and we would have time travelers showing up messing with things, there appears to be NO time travelers running about so I would have to conclude that a time machine will never be built.

Not much into the concept of time machines, but they are supposed to be similar to hyperdrives (in theory).

Interesting article.

Maybe we could go back in time and convince select pregnant women to have abortions.

The creation of a time travel "machine" will be achieved with the most complicated device known to man, the human brain, as it primary working part. The person's body will go nowhere, but the experience will seem as if it had.

Inches and seconds away from their first playoff win since 1996, the Cowboys saw their season end in bizarre fashion when Tony Romo dropped a good snap on a 19-yard field goal attempt with 1:14 to play.

In Michael Crichton's "Timeline" the machine consists of mirrors.

Time travel will be possible but only in time after the machine is built.
