Scientific American always amazes me. It is well worth the cost of subscription. I find my self always buying a copy when I go into Barnes and Noble.

Flew the Concorde once from London to Wash DC. and arrived before I left.

MONTAUK!

Time travel is possible. You need an immense gravitational field ready at hand, like the black hole at the center of the galaxy. Let us know when you have that ready.

I went to Mexico once with some OilField friends of mine.

When I woke up it was three days later.

The information seemingly came into existence from nowhere, reasonlessly.

I noticed this conundrum in the movie "Terminator II", where the robotic hand that is discovered and studied in the past is supposed to have led to the very events that created it. Where did the technology come from?

Is this a good place for a Jerrold Nadler joke?

Well, if it's not easy forget it, I have better things to do with my time!

Crucially, no theory supports the possibility of traveling into the deep past, only into a past where an already constructed wormhole awaits.

No participating in D-day or Pickett's Charge, no attendance at the first Constitutional Congress, no Agincourt, no hanging with the Vandals at the gates of Rome, no sitting down with Eusebius at Nicea, no walking with Jesus through Galilee.

In short, no fun at all.

Hey, I can see MONTAUK from here. All those weird lights and spooking little green men, running around in silver suits and scaring the chickens.

I wish they would move the damn portal thing to Alaska, this area has enough weirdo's without all the interdemensional visitors using up the good parking spaces.

Almost anywhere is, unless it's a Somali or Ethiopian refugee camp.

Ditto STAR TREK IV, when Admiral Kirk pawns the glasses that Bones gave him as a gift. Supposedly that's when they came into "existence" in the past, then survived into the future to be gifted. But if Kirk sold them and McCoy bought them, who made them?

[Shryke]

Hahahaha, I experienced a very similar event, but I decided to name it: The Frat House Upside-Margarita Time Warp.

[TrappedInLiberalHell]

I have better things to do with my time!

So to speak...

[El Sordo]

Spock: "Were not those a gift from Dr. McCoy?"

Kirk: "And they will be again."

This Jerrold Nadler?

I would have liked to have been around to see that sucker take off (old Justin Wilson joke).
