Re: Time Travel... soon?
Isn't the subject of time a man made device that we use to measure like meters, and not an actual physical thing?
How do you go back on a measurement?
Are those questions answered in the video? I don't want to watch 30+ minutes and still have my basic idea intactComment

Actually Mr. Mallett is a very mainstream scientest. He also has a book out but it's not totally about this but rather his career in physics and what's it like for a black man to be in such a heavily caucasian group.
Nonetheless i've heard him speak on this topic extensively. He has a very solid head on his shoulders and the science actually makes some sense.

Re: Time Travel... soon?
Interesting. So this "time" machine and time travel based on this documentary isn't like the hollywood version. So what we think of a time machine as building something that'll take us back to our great great great grandfather's time. But based on this, the time machine only works with a pre-existing one. ie: if I built one now, a fully functional time machine, someone from the future can access the time machine to come back to my present time (their past)... but we can't go from our present to some distant past b/c a time machine wasn't invented back then.
So the interesting question arises... what happens when the first successful time machine is made?Joshua:

Re: Time Travel... soon?
Doesn't this create a bit of a paradox in itself?
Say, he creates a functioning time machine. How does he actually know if it actually works, if he doesn't have a secondary machine to test it with? How is it possible to create two of something, if the first is dependent on the creation of the second, which, in turn, is entirely dependent on the first actually working properly?Comment

Or, you could go with the 5 minute theory given above your post (which is similar to what I said, but quicker).
Wait 5 minutes and build another one and use that to travel back in time to the first one built 5 minutes prior."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

He believes time travel to the past is a definite lock but time travel to the future is virtually impossible. Now once someone travels back in time and alters it, let's say you travel back and prevent your grandfather from dying. They you've instantaniously (sp) created a parallel universe. You can never go back to the original point in time that you came from because you've altered the past.
Of course that means the you from the current timestream no longer exists!
