So im stuck at work with an hour and a half of captivity left, so i decided to try to invent time travel.

At first i tried a downloaded flux capacitor app but i was unable to spin the swivel chair to the required 88mph to activate it (side note: man am i dizzy)

Then it hit me (the floor, as i say i was still dizzy)

when i came to i realised there is only one plan that could work

1) as soon as i get home tonight, quit my job
2) dedicate my entire life, every second to making a time travel device
3) come back in time to a few seconds before i started to spin the chair and tell myself how i did...and maybe a few lottery numbers (hay time travel isnt mentioned in the rules) that way i can skip 1 and 2...plus you know..millions of pounds (yeah i know money cant buy happiness but im pretty sure it can rent it)

sadly i never came back, so i know i failed, time travel not possible so no need to do 1 or 2 .....3 also problematic.

sorry to be the bearer of bad news, you will be pleased to know though i have invented a theory on zero gravity though using nothing more then a slice buttered bread, a cat and some duct tape.

Why not just pass the exact same amount of butter on both sides of the bread instead? WOULD IT WORK? Cats are too unstable.

Or... you could just fasten two cats ._.?

I think it was hawkings that placed an ad for a party for time travellers in every major newspaper, after the date of the party. And since no one showed at the party he concluded time travel is impossible.

Time travel is possible, but it is only possible to travel back to the point when the time travel machine was created... How would that work in your scenario? Or alternatively time travel works, but it transports you to the same point relative to the galactic core, so you ended up in space millions of miles from earth when you traveled back in time.

That is a thing I always wondered about.
If you go back in time:
a) Will you stay in the same absolute position and the planet just disapear from under your feet?
b) Will you get moved back to the place where you were back then? And what does that imply?

or c: would the kinnetec (cant spell) energy of the rotation of the planet and its orbit hurl you in that direction when you are no longer bound to its gravity....hmmm several thousand years from now when space travel is the norm are we going to find several prototype time travel machines and frozen somewhat surprised time travellers hurtling through space?

Depends entirely on the method. Time travel is the kind of high level manipulation of the universe that you can justify virtually anything.

Go back 5 seconds and accidentally end up 10 billion years away from Earth on a planet that is practically identical to it save by the complete absence of humans? Sure why not?

hmmmm so your thinking like maybe i need to enable devs tools to access time travel and that will inturn give me access to other functions only ment for the original developer/developers of the universe.

I promise to be very careful with such tools..right after i delete bunnys...they know what they did!

Sure why not? Just don't forget to put the chairs on the table, turn off the lights and lock the Universe behind you when you are done with it.

Hum, it is not a Douglas Adam's one but it is familiar enough I think he has something similar in message with different words. Reference is Neil Gaiman's which is later only by a decade or so thus not you are not getting old(except in the literal sense) since it is not much of a difference really.

Don't give up. You can't travel back in time until you invented the machine. You only thought about it, but you don't did it.

What if you became a famous artist --> sold millions of records --> and became a millionaire --> built a space ship --> travelled to an alien planet --> bought a time machine(because they probably have these in random stores there) --> went back home --> travelled in time --> kept your job --> ??? --> profit.
