Naturally any discussion of time travel has to start with a U of Cal Berkeley overview of respectable physics: Einstein and all that. Next, since nobody knows time machines like the British, we recommend “a serious website which has already been recommended by qualified teachers in the UK educational sector” which offers numerous tutorials “ideal for those with minimal knowledge of physics”. Finally, formerly classified Russian time travel technology is discussed by Alexander V. Frolov, who from his picture looks a little like a time-traveling Picard.
After reading what the Californians, British and Russians have to say about time machines, you’re ready to open your mind to true knowledge. Some of these sites, like Chronos Shrugged, the somewhat-misnamed Death and Time Travel, a reprint from Analog magazine entitled Quantum Time Travel, and What You Need To Know About Time Travel, are really pretty cool. Then it starts getting weird. You gotta love a course in time travel that uses the endearing phrase, “secret knowledge, click here”. You also gotta love anybody that shows the thoughtfulness to proclaim Bring The Body Along when you time travel. Tackle the Pythagorean math of the ancients and learn Why we MUST master Time !!!. You can read up on what the (evil?) Dr. Seven or the mysterious Federation of Damanhur have been up to in the old time lab. William Craig takes a religious viewpoint on the subject, and certainly has the degrees to back him up.
Some time travel plans seem to come right out and admit they need money more than flux capacitors. There’s the Time Travel Sweepstakes and (my personal favorite, it sounds almost reasonable)The Time Travel Fund. The cost of the seven-day, seven night Time Travel Tour doesn’t even include the postcards.
If building a time machine yourself is not your cup o tea, you’ll be interested in Instructions for Meeting Time Travelers. Maybe you’ll meet the guy (…You’re thinking I’m a nutjob. Well you’re wrong…) that says ON AUGUST 3rd, 2003, I WILL TRAVEL THROUGH TIME. Maybe placing newspaper ads or just turning the pages of a bodice-ripper at the Time Travel and Fantasy Romance Webring will fulfill you lusty temporal desires.
To cut to the chase, tho, just get a Hyper Dimensional Resonator (see bottom of page). This one’s on the level for sure, inventor Steven Gibbs has even released the schematic! A controversial interview with Dr., er, Mr. Gibbs may be found here, along with other goodies. His device sells for only $390 and comes fully assembled with lots of cool knobs and buttons. The manufacurer notes: “This Hyper-Dimensional Resonator hooks up to the head of the user and by setting the dial, it will allow it’s user to spontaneously astral project. And once your able to astral project, you can travel in space and time either to the future or the past. This is no joke!! Plugs into a normal 110 volt outlet.” No word yet of a version that works on British electricity.
No matter how you travel thru 2003, hope it’s a great year for you.
