- mookiemookie, on 10/10/2007, -0/+92I'm sure your father has had that same thought many times over the years.
- skjede, on 10/10/2007, -0/+86It seems that he's only done this once before and can't guarantee anyone's safety.
- Stachzilla, on 10/10/2007, -1/+69Nowhere in this article does it make reference to the greatest scientific mind of our time, who I believe has already traveled back in time more than once, Dr. Emmet Brown.

- Cerialthriller, on 10/10/2007, -9/+68sweet, if i could go back in time, i would pull out sooner
- humperdeath, on 10/10/2007, -2/+58This was already posted on Digg a few years from now!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+52You know dad, I have an account on digg too. :(
- mikesbaker, on 10/10/2007, -3/+45Your theory of a donut-shaped universe intrigues me, Homer. I may have to steal it.
- josegutz, on 10/10/2007, -4/+431.21 JIGAWATTS!!!
- centinall, on 10/10/2007, -0/+37If only I could go back in time to read the article before it was dugg offline.
- ultrawhat, on 10/10/2007, -4/+39Did he came back in time to tell us about time travel?
- YumYumKittyLoaf, on 10/10/2007, -1/+26Buried as blog spam.
Original Front page story with the actual article this blog gets it's info from
http://www.digg.com/general_sciences/Mmm_Time_machine - weeeezzll, on 10/10/2007, -1/+21If you really want to travel into the future then try this little exercise:
1. Find a nice flat spot to stand
2. Draw a circle big enough to stand in
3. Step in to your circle.
4. Close your eyes
5. Count (in seconds) how far into the future you want to go
6. Open your eyes.
The flat spot, circle, standing, and counting are not required for time travel to work though.... - hydroplane, on 10/10/2007, -4/+22Someone please send a cybernetic killing machine back in time to prevent Terminator 3 from being made
- Ronikus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19Not only is time travel possible, it's MANDATORY! We all travel into the future at one second per second.
We can see into the past (the light from the stars that we see is millions of years old)...but we can't travel into the past. We can't see into the future (since it hasn't happened yet), but we are constantly traveling into it. - Aard88, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14I predict he will successfully test his machine on December 21, 2012
- capiCrimm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+14dude, that's cause LoTR is real... lord of the rings is real... lord of the rings is real... lord of the rings is real...
*opens eyes*
Damnit! - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14I wish I could travel back in time and actually read this story before digg crashed it.
- bionicvskungfu, on 10/10/2007, -3/+14Better time travel flick was Primer. Kinda the same time loop idea.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390384/ - alliekins619, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10Blog spam is when a blogger doesn't actually write an article but makes a post on his/her blog pointing to an existing article. The blogger's post gets on Digg and a lot of traffic goes through their site, generating ad revenue and stuff, but the blogger didn't actually do anything. It's called 'blog spam' because it's a cheap way to trick users into boosting traffic rankings for your blog. The original article- the one the blogger linked to- should be the one posted on Digg, not the blogpost.
- justanotherday, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11Hmmm, can I borrow his time machine for a second? I'll have it back before he knows it's gone...
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9Hallowed are the Ori
- weeeezzll, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Dugg your comment up because I ACTUALLY clicked on that link expecting it to work...lol
:P - Heggy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8So, the moment they build a properly functioning version of this machine, does that mean that millions of people will start popping out at the same time from the future?
- scuzzman, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Because the poster linked to a blog that linked to an original source, instead of linking to the source. This is typically done to boost ad revenue to the (potentially) spamming blog.
- brbubba, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7If I see one more link to a Bluehost server I am going to go *****.
- mwhoh, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7this should have way more diggs. Likely over a lot of heads.
- 10001110101, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Other than the donut-shaped vacuum, the actual theory sounds more like a quantuum leap than a slide.
- hatmen, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7Well, one reason could be the fact that the method of time travel described in this article is limited. You can only go back as far as when the "time machine" was first created. We haven't created one yet, so no one could ever travel back to this time.
- yargthepirate, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Reality is obviously based on Hollywood, why else would random people start bringing snakes onto planes?
http://www.topix.net/news/weird/2007/05/cairo-customs-prevents-snakes-on-a-plane - Gabaduce, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5I wonder if you'll have to bring your own weapons.
- Maevirko69, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7JOHN TITOR WAS REAL
- fadetoone, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Someone should at least tell the girl who wrote this that Sliders wasn't about time travel...
- miriclaire, on 11/02/2007, -0/+4You'll find that negatives DO exist...just check back and look at the number of diggs you get.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8JIGAPLEASE!
- EricMiIIer, on 07/10/2009, -0/+4"They took er jobs!!!"
I dont want to join the gay pile .... /frown - tbenathan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4yep
- heypetray, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Hmmm... Time Travel will be possible when you could swing all the way around the swingset. I shall call it "The Time Swing Theory"
- Lasereth, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Best comment on the page, what a horrible movie
- Shakermaker, on 10/10/2007, -2/+6ultrawhat: If you could go back in time, would you check your grammar?
- humperdeath, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Oh, ok chief. I'll also have to remember to consult my Klingon dictionary too, so as not to be mis-interpreted by all you astute Diggers out there.
- Raian, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I still cannot believe a rational person, with a PhD in physics actually can believe in time-travel. Time is an arbitrary term created to classify and order types of movement. It is true that you can create the illusion of traveling in to the future by moving at incredible speeds, You cannot travel in to the past, because the past never existed-- just your memory of the series of events that happened before this moment.
- eladon, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6Cool article, but buried for blog spam.
- skjede, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3http://digg.com/general_sciences/Physics_Can_the_Future_Leak_Into_the_Present
Lol humper, lame - JohnnyXmas, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It uses the same theory developed in the movie "Primer:" A machine is started now, and whenever someone enters the machine in the future, they can come back to the point in time that the machine was first started. It makes time curve around and back onto itself, but only for whatever is inside it. Awesome, awesome movie.
- holzp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Wish I could go back an hour so I could catch the website before it was dugg.
- skankyBacon, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3In addition, you'd think if we eventually achieved time travel, we'd have seen all kinds of "time tourists" already. Or maybe we are just living in a relatively dull period of time, or they came up with a good way to remain undetected.
- chugger1992, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4it was linked to someone blogging about it, not the article itself
- JohnnyXmas, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Dupe article form 3 days ago. Also, the theory is not new at all.
- oscarwp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I don't believe in time.
