03/16/02: "We know that time travel is possible"?

Posted By: SpaceButler


"We know now that time travel is possible, but only with huge amounts of energy availiable to a type three civilization. Kip Thorne's working time machine, designed for Carl Sagan's novel "Contact," has been accepted by physicists around the world. With the right amount of energy and understanding, all things are possible. Even mastery of time."

So because of a science fiction novel that physicists generally agree with, you're declaring that time travel is definitely possible? There's an infinity of difference between theory and fact. A lot of very smart people used to think that stars were held up by glass spheres and if you sailed far enough you'd fall off the edge of the world. Those theories have exactly as much weight as Carl Sagan's.
