 The answer to that age-old question is yes; time travel is very possible. Many people would like to believe otherwise, simply because those in power tell them so. They insist on ignoring the cold, hard, facts in favor of rhetoric and propaganda, and the government denies it completely. People would rather learn about the lives and addictions of the cast of "Friends" than about what is possible in our world. The staff at Conspiracy Theory can prove it, or get carpal tunnel from trying. A. CURRENT TECHNOLOGY MAKES TIME TRAVEL A POSSIBILITY In an age where passenger jets can break the sound barrier, along with a few ground-traveling machines, wouldn't you think that the technology to travel faster than the speed of light would exist? In this time that we can split the very atom to discover it's secrets, and do bullet time in kung fu movies, isn't anything possible? People used to denounce those that said man could fly faster than the speed of sound with nothing more than his brain to guide him and his ingenuity to create the necessary tools. Chuck Yeager and his famous X-1 did it nearly half a century ago, and we have made giant leaps in technology since. If the men and women of the United States could design something as incredible as the X-1 with just their pencils, slide rules, and genius, we say it should be easy to fly faster than the speed of light, and thus travel through time. In this world where we have nuclear power and weapons, plus whoop-ass movie specialy effects, we can do anything. In this world where the Blackbird and Concorde have made the speed of sound insignificant, the only thing preventing time travel is a lack of will in Washington. B. UFOs and AREA 51 Supposedly, the United States does have working "UFO" technology; otherwise they would probably let you see inside their maximum-security areas. In fact, they would probably be having tours. Who wouldn't pay to see inside Area 51? It would be a really quick way to pay off a chunk of that national debt. With the UFO's advanced technology and science, there should be clues to help us make quantum leaps towards breaking the light barrier. How else did they get all the way here from Xlckgiagoehfghsdifh IV? C. A QUICK PHYSICS LESSON Time is relative, and for it to continue in the same cycle the present must overlap the past. All we have to do is break the barrier at the points that overlap, and we can go anywhere, anytime, we want. D. Time travel is possible, just not feasible.
