Like me, do you worry about going back in time and making a living?  Now you can time travel and thrive!

It always amazes me how long it took people to invent the wheel.  They had stuff that was 1,000 tmes more advanced in other areas, but no wheel.

I'm no historian, but I wonder of ts because those societies had 1000's of other poor buggers to do the carrying that no one bothered.

That's a good theory  :teddyr:  It gives them more of a sense of accomplishment if they don't do it the easy way as well.

I always think about time travel theorys, could it ever happen? Well I don't know quantum mechanics or atomic physics, but here is my guess, Yes I think man could make a time machine someday, but it's not going to be like the movies.

Watch this video if your into "time travel theorys".

I've always thought that if time travel was possible, we would have already seen signs of it in people coming back. I mean, it would eventually across thousands of years get to a point where people were going all over the place, much like air travel has come in the past 106 years.

My theory, is that it may be possible to change the rate at which one travels through time, but not the direction.

I read something that spoke of theories on how it all works, and they said that the laws of TIME trump the laws of PHYSICS. So if you went back in time, you couldn't change anything. If you say, took a knife and tried to stab Hitler when he was a kid, which would change history (future), the laws of physics would fail to allow that to happen. Like the knife would yield to the skin rather than the other way around. BUT, to me it seems like just BEING thee would change SOMETHING, so wouldn't THAT be prevented. I mean, who's deciding that Hitler can't be killed, but the air that was in the place you moved to being displaced isn't enough to warrant prevention.

One thing is for sure though.

If my calculations are correct ...
... when this baby hits 88 mph you're gonna see some serious s**t.

Yes, bit it takes 1.21 gigawatts to operate.

1.21 gigawatts!? ... 1.21 gigawatts!!! ... Wait ...

This is it! This is the answer. It says here that a bolt of lightning is going to strike the clock tower at precisely 10:04pm, next Saturday night! If... If we could somehow harness this lightning ... channel it into the flux capacitor ... it just might work. 1.21 gigawatts! Next Saturday night, we're sending you back to the future!!!!!!!
