Time Travel

Almost Anonymous writes "Ronald Mallett, a physicist at the University of Connecticut, believes he knows how to build a time machine - an actual device that could send something or someone from the future to the past, or vice versa. He plans to have a working mockup this fall. For all those doubters, he assures people that "I'm not a nut"." Uh-huh.

you just dont get it

If someone in this world time travels, they vanish FOREVER. They can never return to THIS reality,

You see, if they go to the past, it creates a new future, thus a new reality

If they go to the future, its the future but they cant return to the present after they get to the future because the present is no longer the same present, if they return, they'll return to a new present.

basically time travelers arent traveling in time, but traveling through diffrent realities, its more like sliders.

This is based on string theory, and the current ideas of dimensions, and understanding of the multiverse and physics

I wouldn't think that would be a problem...

Just build one later then travel back in time and tell yourself how to generate that much engery.

I gather since he hasn't told himself how to do it yet, he probably never got it working quite right.
