We’re stuck in the “Romney runs for president” CTC.

Since time is simply the movement from a higher energy state to a higher entropy state, this means we’ll soon be able to push water uphill and unring a bell.

None of this seems to resolve the problem that the fact we haven’t already seen time travelers seems to prove that we won’t ever travel in time. And no, UFOs wouldn’t explain this, since the person arriving in the past would have the SAME qualities as the person departing from the future, not some “quantum-shifted phase-inverted” (or whatever sci-fantasy mumbo jumbo) version of itself.

Of course, if the catch to time travel is that a receiving device needs to be built...

Blah blah blah. The bottom line is, this thing called “causality” rules. There are no paradoxes. Formulas and simulation notwithstanding.
Again, Scientific American leaves the world of science and stumbles into science fiction.

Great Scott!
Marty! We need to get over to the O'Reilly autoparts and pick up a Flux Capacitor and a Mr. Fusion. The very fabric of the space time continuum is ours for the taking!

Sadly my time machine broke and now only works in forward at 1X speed. Sucks to be me, I know.

Sure can. But you still need 1.21 gigawatts of electricity.

One VERY good reason to time travel.

I opened the box I had my Flux Capacitor in and all I found was a dead/live cat.

Negative Z, I want to live those Reagan years again, those were the funnest ever. I’d sweat out the 60s and 70s all over again for those 8 glorious years when the country came back to center; of unabashed confrontation against the Evil Empire, the rise of the Cabbage Patch Kids...Ahhh the 80s.
