Can you imagine what it might have been like to chum around with Abraham Lincoln? Budha? St. Mary? What if I could attend the very first World Con and meet my favorite authors before they became famous. How cool would that be?

Anyway, time travel has fascinated people for a long time. In his article, “A brief history of time travel, David Sapsted says, “for more than a century, the possibility has captivated both boffins and fiction writers – since H.G. Wells introduced the idea of a time machine in The Chronic Argonauts in 1888, and since Einstein’s theories gave the notion an awful lot of academic clout early last century.”

So I thought I’ll collect a list of links about time travel and present them to you here:

NOVA on Time Travel
HowStuffWorks.com’s How Time Travel Will Work
Time Travel for Beginners
The Time Travel Fund
The Time Travel Science Blog

Anyway, he never responded, so I still don’t know if my logic is correct. But it seems to me that if you time machine stayed in the same place, that wouldn’t mean it was staying in the same room.

As you might be able to tell, I give time travel quite a bit of thought. I think it is one of the most fascinating topics explored by science fiction. Which is why I bring to your attention this story that ran in a U.K. newspaper:

The real life Doctor Who who believes he can build a time machine

Imagine that. A real time machine. And it answers the old question that if time travel were possible, where are all the time travelers — they can’t get here because a time machine hasn’t been invented yet.

Imagine this: The first time machine is turned on and barely a second later, someone from the future pops in. Now you know it works!
