Considering that our planet is continually moving through space, I’ve always thought the worst part about time travel would be that you might end up FAR from Earth. :eek:

This time-travel thing was covered er, comprehensively by Hollywood in this movie, which just happened to star a dude who stole Ben's stash from above his bed. :)

OK, I’ll try to explain the temporal conundrum.

When you sit in a train looking out the window, you cannot see what you have passed. But, you can see what is coming up. And the further in the future that you look, the less clear the image. This is the opposite of what we think of as past and future. Obviously, time is going backwards. So, yes we can travel into the future. (The scientific term for future time travel is "waiting.") We just can’t travel into the past.

So, if you travel into the future, can you get back? Well, Thomas Wolfe said “You can't go home again.” But, he was only partially right. Ursula LeGuin said “You can go home again ... as long as you understand that home is a place where you never have been.

I have seen time travel done. All you need is a phone booth and a righteous dude named Rufus to guide you.
Or a phone booth and a bookie who doesn't know when the first quarter starts. That way is much more profitable and you don't have to chase Genghis Khan through a sporting goods store.

Are you kidding? Rufus might have been righteous in church on Sunday, but during the week he was dealing drugs and running a Ponzi scam. Not to mention being an inveterate liar, capper and hole carder. You want proof of that? It's gospel according to... me. I made the whole thing up.

In line with this, I discovered quite some time ago how to send a message to the future.

I just write myself a note! :)
