Time Travel is a Reality!

[BrianG]

Seriously! I did an experiment the other night and it worked.

Last Saturday, I built a time travel circuit, and installed it in my car. I calibrated the flux capacitor to trigger at 70mph though; 88mph is bit over the speed limit and didn't want to get into trouble. I also syncronized my watch against my GPS.

I then waited until late Saturday night to test it out to so there would be less traffic. So, I found a nice straight section of highway, and when I didn't see any cars in the distance, accelerated gradually checking my watch and GPS clocks every so often. When I reached my 70mph target, nothing obvious happened, but I really didn't know what to expect to be honest.

At this point, my exit was coming up so I slowed down and took a chance to compare my watch and GPS. I was ecstatic to discover that my watch and GPS were no longer syncronized and was showing the time from one hour previously! I went back to the house to tell myself it was a success, but I wasn't there. So, I decided to try the test again, but to my disappointment, it would not work. I must have overloaded the flux capacitor.

OK, maybe the time change had something to do with it.

Yeah, that was a pretty lame buildup, but I was watching Back to the Future the other night and when Dr. Brown unveiled his "flux capacitor", I mused that this device has been in existence for many many many years already! Click here to see a nice selection of cheap flux capacitors.
