LOL!!! Keep him on the OTHER side of the event horizon.

When people mock theoretical science, I often point back to Einstein and this very theory, that he established almost 80 years before it was actually proven by experimentation.

Experimental science: monkeys at typewriters.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Can we open a portal to the past or find a shortcut to the future?

Yes and no.

To travel to the future, just get into a vehicle that can travel at 99.9% of 186,000 miles per second.

Travel to the past? Doubtful.

Roger, it’s Jesus Christ. The Man who dwells outside of linear time into infinity, Amen

More on the same theme:

Common sense without faith is rationalism.
Faith without common sense is fanaticism.

I keep yelling at those people operating the Stargate to RIGHT CLICK
on that dialing device! Right click opens up a time time travel menu!

Do they listen? Hell no.

All you need to time travel is an Infinite Improbability Drive.

The man has twisted himself in knots trying to avoid the concept of a Creator.

“There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, “Thy will be done,” and those to whom God says, “All right, then, have it your way”
CS Lewis

I’m watching Hawking’s TV show now on Tivo. The Story of Everything is on Discovery. I’ll give you a review when it’s done.

[Jim W N]

That was funny...

[Cyman]

All your bases are belong to us.

You disagree with him, ergo, he’s stupid. List your accomplishments in any field of science.

TIME TRAVEL QUOTES:

“I just witnessed time travel! Dammit, it was a $500 watch.”

Time Travelers Unite! Yesterday!

There once was a lady named Bright
Who traveled much faster than light
She departed one day
In a relative way
And returned on the previous night

“Please help me, Doctor, I keep seeing into the future!”
“Ah. And when did this start?”
“Next Tuesday afternoon.”

Who’s there?”
“The Time Traveller”
“The Time Traveller who?”
*Knock, knock*

[SeekAndFind]

So, When are we now ??

[Greysard]

The method of time dilation certainly works, if you can afford it. However it's much easier to put people in hibernation here, on Earth, and wake them up in whatever time they ordered. Many writers used this approach (in their books :-)

If I had a time machine, I would try to eliminate the importing of slaves to the New World.

[Jeff Chandler]

If I had a time machine, I would have put every dime I could scrounge on Secretariat to win.

I am currently traveling to the future at the speed of now...
