New time travel theory - pretty freaky

What really happened during the 2nd century? Is Jurassic Park real? What about Sliders? (does anyone remember that show?) Professor Amos Ori, a physicist at Haifa’s Technion Institute has developed a complex physics theory that makes time travel not such a crazy idea after all. A few donut-vacuums and we’re on our way. Mmm.. donuts. It is obviously far more complex, but only an elite few will really understand the magnitude of his work.
I guess time elevator-type amusement rides just didn’t cut it. People won’t be satisfied until they get the real thing. Let’s say for a minute that this really could happen. Wouldn’t people worry about getting stuck? What would you do trapped in the stone age with no internet? I get the chills just thinking about it. What if our whole world as we know it got sent back millions of years. Beyond comprehension. Do we start all over again? Would pollution disappear? What about things that exist now? Where would they go? The questions could go on forever.
What year would you pick?
The Jerusalem Post explains more about Ori’s time travel theory…
Ori, a physicist from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, has come up with what he says are practical solutions to overcome the hindrances that experts have long regarded as stopping us from traveling back in time… Time travel research is based on bending space-time so far that the time lines actually warp back on themselves to form a loop.
The details of Ori’s research are so complicated as to be baffling: In a 2004 paper, Ori outlined a set of conditions that would allow for the creation of a time loop without the need for exotic matter. According to that theory, the time loop would form as a donut-shaped vacuum, inside which time would curve back on itself, so that a person traveling around the loop might be able to go further back in time with each lap. A sphere containing a non-exotic - but unidentified - matter would in turn surround the loop. Continue
Easy breezy. Anyone could have thought of that!

[...] I implemented this over here on a post that’s been dugg, so you can take a look at an example if you want: New time travel theory - pretty freaky. [...]
Actually we would not be able to go back ourselves except to the time we setup the device. According to his research, a device like his would need to exist where you want to go back in time to. So no dino’s, but future people could conceivably come to us once he can figure out how to build it.
EVERY possibility you mention requires going back in time BEFORE the machine is built.
Thea article states very clearly that this machine CANNOT travel back to a time before it was built.
All of your speculation contradicts 100% with the facts established in the article you are writing about.
Learn to read.

Lighten up
back to the very start
I’d go back to 0 and see about this Jesus-thing
How about Micho Kaku’s time machine described in Hiperspace book?
[...] afternoon Israel time israelplug.com reached digg’s home page (check out the article in question here). While I watched our servers crumble around us as a result of the onslaught of traffic, I wept [...]
Reminds me of a low budget independent film called Primer I saw a couple of years ago… In the film a couple of engineers accidentally develop a time machine that operates in the same fashion described in the article. They develop as stock market scheme in which they turn the machine on (with a 15 minute delay) and go sit in a hotel room all day watching the market. After market close they take the names of the day’s best performers, get into the time machine and then go back to the beginning of the day (carefully avoiding their other selves who have locked themselves away in the aforementioned hotel room by the time they arrive). It’s actually a pretty good movie.
The article reads:
“But don’t pack your bags and get ready to go dinosaur-hunting yet. “We, however,” he cautions, “could not return to previous ages because our predecessors did not create this infrastructure for us.”
So, ahem.. yeah, read before you post about an article.

@john, chaos, and mohsin - you’re all right that we didn’t get the exact point of the article, and yeah, we couldn’t go back to the dinos according to this guy’s theory. You’re just much smarter than us, I guess. Or maybe we were just having some fun with the idea…
Freaky. But is it only for traveling back or also forwards?
