Harvey, do not waste time trying to find scientific justification for time travel - time travel is a logical contradiction thus is mathematically impossible, thus physicaly impossible.

Just enjoy running Star Treck on DVD back and forth, in slomo and in fast one, jumping over episodes you do not like (time intervals) back and forth, timelooping events over and over, freesing them, etc. - what you see has nothing to do with physics (=allowed by mathematics events).

Time is NOT a DVD motor.

        I'm not talking geometry - stormcrow - October 11, 2001 - 21:13 UTC
        
        But it follows from math. Math can't change. - alexander - October 11, 2001 - 23:07 UTC
