I realized this morning as I lay in bed that time travel will obviously never be possible, no matter how long we populate this planet. What an absolute bummer. Well, perhaps travelling forward in time may still be on the cards, but obviously not backwards. Travelling forwards in time can of course be achieved by sleeping heavily and without being aware that you were nodding off in the first place, usually after binging on alcohol and/or prescription, or unprescribed drugs. Travelling back in time? Someone would have shown up by now, right? Then again, perhaps the lunatic asylums of the world are full of people who travelled back in time and were never believed, apart from one guy, who saw that all his fellow time travellers were being sectioned and so returned to the future, shouting, "fuck time travel everyone, unless you are a qualified escapologist." None of this really matters though as I am now resigned to the fact that I am stuck here in 2009. Until January of course. It's all going to kick off then ...

Great post, Jonas. Time travel's a Bitsch. I hurtle forward, too heavy on the accelerator, and have a real problem with reverse. Some day, yeah, but for now, stillness. x
So I won't get my hopes up about going back to the future
Time travel may be closer than you think... did you see that crazy wormhole looking thing that lit up in the sky in Norway??? Just sayin'! ;op
Caroline ... thats excellent news. I like that image!
L'imagination est la clef ... :)
Carol ... oh yeah, reverse. Never.
Raji ... Nope, unless I am wrong of course, which is likely.
Kris ... wormhole ... right. I never thought of it like that.
Hee, hee, you're hilarious.
Heard that time travel may be possible one day, according to string theorists, but the time and place one travels to will probably be another dimension. Thus, if you travel back in time and accidentally kill your grandfather, it won't affect your particular existence since it'll be your grandfather in another dimension. Fun stuff to think about, especially after a little wine.
Interesting post. Plus the picture taken somewhere in Switzerland (I'm so sure I'm cracking up right now) just fits its purpose. :D
Cheryl ... thats tremendous news about the other dimension thing. What a relief.
Selma ... Swiss, yep, spot on. In the valley somewhere I think, or just before it. Just outside Bitsch anyway!
