Reminds me of a SF author (Larry Niven?) who wrote about time travel’s having to introduce interesting juxtapositions of subjective and objective time:
“I’ll meet you three weeks ago in half an hour”“Didn’t I see you next year last week?”

I’m sure Jeffrey would be quite happy if you didn’t talk to him. Not now. Not yesterday or ever.

If you can’t lose them with logic, the baffle them with “Bolshoi.”

Poor Danae, when she wants to be straight she gets a curve ball.

I remember ‘The Number of the Beast’ being about inter-dimensional travel, not time travel.

Perhaps it is watching too much Doctor Who, but I was not thrown at all by Jeffrey’s question of “When …?”
Scorchwave almost 10 years ago
He’s right, Danae. Suck it up.

Dogsniff, good one!…I hear they had problems with the Stratoporter…..That whole being flung into sky thing….But I have heard some guitar solos that have done just that to me…But nobody can hear the twang in space, so……

If it only teleported fenders there’d be a lot of cars without protection. Yes, I know what you’re referring to.

Greek philospher Heraclitus said ‘no man ever steps in the same river twice, for its not the same river and he’s not the same man.’ He believed in ‘universal flux’, that all things are constantly changing. So, time travel would have to be to parallel universes, if he’s right…

I took my teleporter to the temporal mechanics on Monday. They said they wouldn’t fix it yesterday because they didn’t work on Sunday and they could fit it in last Friday but only if I paid in advance.
