Hmm, someone's got daddy-issues, huh?

In relation to Time Travel and its possibilities/explanations/uses, the following page ("SF Chronophysics") elaborates somewhat entertainingly on its use in SF:

http://www.xibalba.demon.co.uk/jbr/chrono.html

Although I think it might be an interesting read for anyone who's enjoyed the SF tropes of time travel, I suspect it might be of specific interest to BOb and his listing of it as an impossibility (the author notes that he is working on the premise that Time Travel is "any process involving chains of cause-and-effect which are discontinuous and/or retrograde. Nearly-as-fast-as-light starships or the like do not in my book count as "travelling into the future"")

Cheers,
Marc
