Well, people can laugh, but I’m sure many of the famous inventors were thought of as kooks. I think one day someone will figure out time travel, if our planet survives long enough.
There are reasonable theories to explain that the reason we cannot travel into the future or past is that they do not exist.
Kip Thorne's idea of utilizing a wormhole to such ends might seem interesting, but who wants to go first? And, once in, if you weren't crushed, would general relativity hold up? Could you start and stop where you wanted?
Big...BIG problems....
