Paradox-free time travel involves folding through the 6th or higher dimention.Quick explination of 10 dimentional structure (It's not quite accurate but a very good illustrative explination)...PART 1: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=JkxieS-6WuAPART 2: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ySBaYMESb8o

Anyone hear about that interstellar highway bypass that was due through here in about . . . 7 days?

The plans and demolition orders have been on display at our local planning office in Alpha Centauri for fifty of our Earth years.

My stance on this is simple if we ever hope to advance scientificly we are going to have to take calculated risks.
