Years ago a scientist said a time machine will not happen. His proof? No one has been here from the future! (Of course there are those that say"Oh yes there have been.")
Aside from time not actually existing, there’s the problem of where you end up at the other end. What with the expanding universe, whirling galaxy, spinning solar system, and rotating planet, you’d end up in space somewhere, even going back a few seconds. Go forward a few seconds, and you could end up buried miles inside the planet, depending on where you started.
One theory, which seems possible to me, has that we are always going forward and backward in time, as with any other dimension. But each position in time is always the same spot. Each time you visit a point you have the same memories, you see the same things, you feel the same things, and you are again the same age.
I read a time travel story about a physicist who wanted to boost the science level beyond its current status by sending back the necessary items to Archimedes. Other physicists where he worked found out and were too late to prevent it. As I recall he used the entire lifetimes output of a nuclear power plant to achieve this in less than a minute, also dying from the effects. As the other physicists waited for the effects to move through time, nothing changed.
I have done this a few times, dress like a ’50s greaser, go to our downtown shopping area and run up to random people and ask them what the date is and when they tell me I run back toward my friend also dressed in ’50s clothes yelling “it worked it worked.” Boy does that freak some people out.

My bed is a time machine…I get into it at 11pm and when I get out it’s 8 hrs later.

I would like to visit my great-grandparents and some other ancestors. So many questions.

We can’t travel any further back in time than the day we invent the time machine. And, the energy requirements will be enormous. Sorry, Ray.

I assume everyone has noticed panel 6 is an exact copy of panel 2. Time loop!!..loop…loop…
