Time Travel

I’m bummed Fox canceled The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I like science-fiction stories, and I rarely like anything on TV, but this was one show I watched. For me, time-travel stories are fun. I get a kick outta the fish-out-of-water-look on a time traveler’s face when he finds himself in the future, or in the past. Have you noticed writers often depict the future as an extension of the present day, but bigger? For example, the 1936 film Things To Come is supposed to take place a 100 years in the future. The film’s vision of 2036 had Wizard of Oz-like crystal cities in the clouds, and giant propeller-driven planes and dirigibles. I guess the concept of jets, cities spreading horizontally, instead of, vertically, and space shuttles, was beyond the imagination of technology in the 1930s. But the future seems to be imagined in two ways: Either bleak and scary (Blade Runner, The Terminator, Resident Evil, Logan’s Run, Soylent Green, Mad Max, etc)…hmmm, I was going to say, also, an utopia, but I can’t think of any film/book where everything is clean and hopeful.

In a podcast interview with Stewart Swerdlow (author, lecturer, and survivor of the Montauk Project), he and I discussed time travel:

If one goes back in time is it possible to return to the same exact time line?

Stewart: There are already infinite time lines. Everything you can imagine exists somewhere. So, theoretically, you cannot change anything because it “already is” somewhere. So, when you go back in time you’re not supposed to interfere with anything. If you do, you’ll automatically be focused on an alternate time line where that has occurred. So, no, you would not return to your original time line, because you have changed your perception.

But, Stewart says time travel isn’t complicated: “Every point in time & space has an unique frequency and vibration. There are no two points in time & space that are identical. So, if you can map out and vibrate an object, person, or thing, to a specific point in time & space there will be an instant connection, because it would have to match.”

Years ago, a science magazine once gave instructions for a time machine: You’ll need two 6-feet copper poles and two 6-feet pure silver poles. But first you have to know the ley-lines (energy lines) in your area, and where these lines crossed. Go to these ley-lines and bury one copper pole horizontally in the ground and place the silver poles vertically at either end. Now, take the second copper bar and lay it across the top of the silver poles. Next, stand under the structure. The device will change the electro-magnetic frequencies in the area and literally will create doorways to other dimensions. Supposedly, this device works. However, there is one catch: It’s a one-way ticket. You don’t return home. ~ AA
