Just saw the preview of a new movie, The Butterfly Effect. In the movie Ashton Kutcher goes back in time to prevent his girlfriend from ruining her life. The flaw in the movie: if time travel existed, parents would already have gone back in time to prevent their daughters from ruining their lives by preventing them from ever meeting Ashton Kutcher (and some children would have done the same for their mothers). So the premise of the film is logically impossible.

Time travel has such facination, though, that whether or not we will in fact be able to do it, there will be a virtual reality time travel and tourism business in the future. You might indeed "wake up" in the 18th century, or back in high school or on Mars, and find that it was a trip your family bought for you. Here's hoping their check cleared for the return trip ...

Professor Richard Gott is right and has been amusing colleagues for decades with this. Seems it is possible without violating laws of physics, but it would be well to send graduate students on the time trip rather than the prof himself.

Interesting post bump to the top.
