safety not guaranteed...

I can’t go back and tell you that. What I can tell you is that the Pittsburgh Pirates will win the 2014 World Series. Also, Leon will get larger.

I caught Art Bell once many moons ago, freaky $h!t...

Tell me about it. I tried red sun energy and blue energy created from microwaving Jiffy Pop.....that didn’t work at ALL and the fire department wasn’t to happy either.

It must mean that our Civilization did not progress enough and apparently went belly up. So no time travel or anything else!

I can understand the theory behind this. It takes a lot of energy to dismantle a person and transport them via transporter/matter-energy conversion to another location - in space or in time.
You could much more easily use the same concept and add energy variations or matter changes to alter data flows in the internet, sending messages.
Why go back in time and tell your past self not to date someone, when you could send yourself an email with incriminating information that would make you break up with them or avoid them?
It’s a great sci-fi concept.

Obamacare doesn’t cover time travel related injury or disease, so nobody does it.

I don't know about time travelers...but the Obama White House has a TIME MACHINE in the basement.

Trouble is that it's an early prototype....and only works in 2 dimensions...

Here it is printing something out from the past.....

...see ..it's printing out from the slot in the top oif the machine.

Searching "social media" came up empty?

What a surprise! It is a wasteland of vapid people looking for some sort of reassurance their lives matter.

Why would anyone traveling in time bother with such drivel?

[12th_Monkey]

if I would want to communicate to my teen self to prepare for Yahoo, Apple, IBM, Amazon ect....I’d need a time traveling mailbox.

Kill time waiting for the bank to open

HA!

Searching for Time Travelers, Scientists Look to Social Media

I've observed that I seem to be traveling into the future at the rate of 60 seconds every minute, whether I want to or not. Perhaps I'd better post something about this on my Twitter account, these scientists might be able to help.

I am a time traveler. I’ve been posting about it on FR since 2003 then 2020 since next year a week from yesterday last week in 1723. Do I have to post a captioned cat picture to get taken seriously.

LOLOL!!!

[Arthur McGowan]

I liked this when I saw a photo of a guy with it on a protest sign:

We Want Time Travel!
When Do We Want It?
It Doesn’t Matter!

[Kirkwood]

Every time I time travel I lose my luggage.

[Political Junkie Too]

Theoretically, the idea of time travel forward in time should be possible...

Don't we all do this now, day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second?

I am surprised they did not look into those “time traveler” callers who used to call in to the old Art Bell Radio show professing to time travel.
