      Old news.
      I'd explain further but I need to get to our Gamestop this morning to get a Wii.

              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 intact

                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.

                I woudln't poo poo his theory without reading/watching the evidence.

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?
                  So couldn't you build one. Wait five minutes and build another one?

                    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?

                        Hence the reason why I said someone from the future would have to appear immediately after the machine was created to prove it works.

                        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.

                            My theory is that time travel is not possible because it would result in anarchy. Just like how we were not made to be able to see the future or read other peoples minds.

                              Actually if I remember this guy's theory properly it wouldn't require a machine in the way we think of them. So that parallel can be thrown out the window. The more interesting thing is this:

                              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!
