If time travel is possible, and per Einstein's Theory of Relativity it is, then time is not.<->

If time travel were possible, wouldn't we already know it? Afterall, someone from the future would have come back to our time (or sooner) and we'd know about it.

I invented a time travel machine. Unfortunately, mine is a basic model that only has one direction (forward) and one speed setting (1X).....

LOL!! You're so bad!

Although theoretically they could distort space-time, they all require an unthinkably gigantic amount of mass. I just knew we'd find a use for Ted!

The Grandfather Paradox [where you go back in time and kill your grandfather] is not an issue, said Mallett. In a sense, time travel means that youre traveling both in time and into other universes. If you go back into the past, youll go into another universe. As soon as you arrive at the past, youre making a choice and therell be a split. Our universe will not be affected by what you do in your visit to the past.

And good ones, too. You could go back in time to the night Cynthia Mckinney was conceived and knock on her parents door to interrupt the mood. Then that DC cop wouldn't have a bruise from her belting him.My thought, too. Will travelers to the past be prohibited from speaking to anyone or doing anything, lest they change history? Me, I'd shoot Hitler as a kid, knock on Hillary's parents' door on that crucial conception night, warn President Lincoln's guards before he went to Ford's Theater--the possibilities are endless.
Of course, I'd be taking the chance that I'd create something even worse, or that I wouldn't exist at all!

"To determine if time loops exist, Mallett is designing a desktop-sized device that will test his time-warping theory."
Isn't the flux-capacitor a little smaller than desk-top sized?

"they all require an unthinkably gigantic amount of mass." No problem. Just travel at the speed of light and presto, infinite mass.
To: PatrickHenry
If time travel were ever to become possible, the amount of tourists would become staggering.
... but that might explain the "loaves and the fishes" -- most of them simply brought their own coolers

Okay... so where are all the time travellers? We're them.... The question is: how is it that we're traveling in time?

I've noticed all these brilliant scientific breakthroughs manage to mention in the first paragraph that they need funding to conduct their experiments. I know, I've posted a few articles like this one.
By the way, I need funding to continue my research on the effects of good scotch on the human nervous system.
