We Can Build A Real Time Machine

Your thoughts?

Yep. It's called a clock!

We`d never know if it happened.

With my loose grasp on physics I have a theory to bring to the table....If space is a physical substance that can be made a hole in and/or folded then surely the obvious experiment to do in space is to create and //brute force// a hole.

Which could possibly be achieved by detonating a thermonuclear device in space and seeing whether this can smash through the space/time fabric.

Yeah, that wouldn't work Minky.

As for the general article, time travel is one of the many things that are (a) probably impossible, but (b) always worth trying regardless.

i think we've been here before. here's a really informed-sounding essay, full of real proper physics and stuff:-

what the writer was actually describing was a bicycle. :-)

If he could build a time machine that was anything more than a view of past events, he would have done so by now and sent himself a copy of the plans.

Wish someone would. Then we could all climb in and travel to a time when Brexit is done and dusted. Setting the 'clock' for about 2028 might just do it :-/
