A User's Guide to Time Travel
- and for those of you a little more advanced, the TARDIS type 40 Manual. Furthermore, a study of Temporal Anomalies in Time Travel Movies so you can avoid all those tricky mistakes.

Is Earth in a vortex of space-time? Obviously The Doctor would know, and by The Doctor, I'm of course referring to the quintessential incarnation, as portrayed by Tom Baker. Anyone who disagrees, it's pistols at dawn, I'm afraid. And anyone who disagrees and mentions Colin Baker as a preferred alternative, you don't get to have a loaded pistol, that's how wrong you are.

Tom Baker, most definitely. But time travel is a load of bollocks...

Looking at the Tardis Type 40 technical specifications, I notice that the Tardis' databuss clock is operating at a cool 750MHz. Time travel galore, but no running Half Life 2 on it, I'm afraid.

One huge difficulty with time travel is the proliferation of parasllel or alternative universes which may then ensue, as more and more temporal travellers meddle in timelines, a process which soon renders any sort of fixed event in any given timeline impossible. Have always found time travel tales unltimately unsatisfavtory: when/where every event becomes improbable or impossible, ultimately nothing matters.

Enjoy. No, really.

Ah, Bees. You can elevate typos to the level of absolute genius.

*weeps*

The "parasol of time" .. Hmmm, that works!

Yes, I agree about Tom Baker; however, Jon Pertwee is a close second. Btw, time travel ain't all it's cracked-up to be. Been there, done that.

I'm busy now. I'll write a comment earlier.
