Is it really possible to go back in time?

Quick answer: Yes!

However it is very complicated. Time and Space (I capitalized "space" in this instance because I thought it would look sort of neat), are connected. They are linked by a cosmic fabric which is not unlike rayon. Rayon, despite it's semi-techie name, is actually a natural fiber, composed of plant junk, so it wrinkles. If you are keeping up, that means that time and space are bound together by a fabric that has wrinkles in it. You need to remember this, as I will return to it later, maybe.

We all learned in math class (or was it drafting class, or maybe wood shop?) that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. The Discovery Channel has lately been trying to explain to those of us who watch it that the shortest distance between two points is NOT a straight line. They demonstrate by placing two points on a sheet of cardboard, and drawing a line between them. Then they curl the cardboard, bringing the points very close together and they say -- see, the points are closer now than the straight line. Well, think about it -- they are only closer if you draw another straight line from point to point, which brings us back to the closest distance between those two points is still a straight line, just a new, shorter straight line. Nevertheless, the important thing they fail to point out is that the paper is now wrinkled. It is these wrinkles that will allow us to go back in time.

Imagine those two points again, and imagine they are one light year apart (that's like 9,446,849,280,000 kilometers, for you non-yanks, or roughly about 12 months). If you pointed a movie projector from point A toward point B and began to play "Murphy's Romance," It would take one year before the folks sitting on point B would be able to see it. More than enough time to set up a movie screen, park their cars, buy popcorn and a Coke, and maybe even sneak a few smootches, climb in the back seat and have a kid before the movie started.

However, if you turned on the projector and then ran really fast to point B, using the secret wrinkle-route, you would be there in like four days and three and a half hours. What you have actually done is gone back in time, at least as far as how it appears to the folks on point B, because from where you are now (on point B) the movie hasn't even started yet. It's relative to the perspective of each person, regardless of whether they are a relative or not (Mitakuye Oyasin).

The real trick is to find the wrinkles in the fabric. I believe there are a few just south of Indianapolis, but I promised some people I would not mention exactly where. There is also a big one in Tromso, Norway, but it's mostly filled up with discarded old 7 oz. Nehi grape soda bottles.
