Indeed. Unless this nuts centrifuge can approach a good fraction of light speed (and it can't) his results are dubious at best!

Correct!

Your right on the money!

Dolz said it takes about six hours to move the clock ahead four seconds. Sounds like a government project to me, except with governnent it takes six years to acomplish something that should take 4 seconds.

A simple test of the concept of time travel:
Hitler survived to adulthood. Therefore, time travel cannot exist now or in the future.
End of story.

a Carlos Dolz who teaches Juggling in Los Angeles,,, wheel him on as the backup act.

Next thing you know, the Miami Herald will print a story about a certain caped crusader flying around the earth opposite of it's rotation at hyperspeed to save the lovely Lois from the gaping maw of an earthquake.

Hitler survived to adulthood. Therefore, time travel cannot exist now or in the future. Not quite. It was/is the butterfly effect. Hitler surviving is the least damaging limit of all of the time-travellers' efforts to correct and re-correct "history". You obviously have never heard of Filbert Camembert, "The Ghastly". He did/will not survive.

If the force were applied in a straight line,... How does one determing if a straight line is, indeed, a straight line?

Oddly enough this idea is not new, in fact, I did research into the idea of centrifuges and artificial gravity to produce time dilation back in high school...I think even Dr Who used it as a premis for his TARDIS...

Maybe it's only possible to jump forward in time, not back.

What lies beyond our present? Nothing. Well not exactly. We do have death and taxes lying in our future. That's a certainty!

But how do we know we haven't already been visited by travelers from the future? Maybe they were just discreet.

How does one determing if a straight line is, indeed, a straight line? Ordinarily, a straight line is the shortest distance between two points. Richard Feynman wrote an excellent book called Six Easy Pieces in which he attempted to give simple explanations of some quantum theory. He used as an example the reflection of photons from a mirror surface. The Newtonian theory is that the angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. However, Feynman shows (I think) that photons might follow any path to and from the mirror, but "statistically" the majority will follow the shortest path, which just happens to be that in which the angle of reflection equals the angle of incidence. (I hope I haven't botched this up too much, read his book!
