Again which universally accepted law therein?

It's easy to sit in a chair and say "nope." At what point though did this become an incontestable fact? That's MY only query.

New mission: (should you choose to accept it)

Launched a manned mission for the sole purpose of perfectly placing 4 tea cups in orbit around the teapot, without disturbing it's own natural trajectory. Extra credit if you can manage to get a doily under each cup and to retain its shape without use of fasteners or hardening agents.

Ok... reason it through... if time travel EVER becomes possible, it must be possible now and always was possible, which it obviously isn't.



Not only is it not rocket science, it's not even college level physics. This is high school level stuff.

Just like if Mach+ travel is possible it always was.



I'm sure that everyone has always believed circumnavigational too.

OMG!!! Are you f*cking with me or are you really this dense? Do you not understand why if TIME travel ever becomes possible it would always be possible? Hint... the operative words are "time", "ever" and "always".
