A Roundup of Current TT (Time Travel) Thought

CNN’s Fast Forward to the Past: The Great Time Travel Debate is a nice little package that summarizes current leading TT ideas. Naturally mentioning the movies Back to the Future , Star Trek  and yes, even the The Terminator , it nonetheless provides a brief, if not particularly deep, roundup of string theory, black holes, worm holes, quantum foam and Deloreans for use in TT.

Okay, just kidding about the Deloreans.

Ever since HG Wells wrote The Time Machine, it’s been assumed that a machine is required for the trip. Obviously, I don’t thing that’s true, and that relying on a machine to effect this kind of trip makes it a much tougher, if not impossible task.

If we’re going to use movies to iconicize our directions of thought when it comes to time travel, we need to also look at Somewhere in Time. Though I’ve only seen it once in its entirety (and pieces of it here and there), there’s something in it that rings true for me right now.
