Thursday Threesome - TIME TRAVEL!!!

"You've got to come back with me!  Back...to the FUTURE!"

 
 Ever since I was a young child, I've thought it would be amazing to be able to travel back and forth in time!  Who wouldn't want to go back into the murky past...see the Beatles live in Hamburg...watch the Gettysburg address...go to Woodstock!  Oh and maybe visit Nazi Germany and kick Hitler in the head.

For that matter, who wouldn't want to know what the year 3000 might look like?  Will the world finally be at peace?  When is the next Ice Age?  Will the Toronto Maple Leafs ever win the Stanley Cup? (2017 baby!)

So without further ado, (and after the JUMP!) here are my top 3 methods of Time Travel!  Just please, try not to negate all existence....

Nerd History: The Chronovisor

I recently finished the excellent Bottled Demon by Matthew Rossi, a collection of the weird, the historical, the occult, the "what ifs," etc. I could probably write about a lot of what he touched upon, but I do want to touch upon one of the first stories he tells, about Father Pellegrino Ernetti and a machine he created called the "Chronovisor." This "chronovisor" would allow the viewer to look into the past by tapping into the events still floating in the air through space. You might have read Orson Scott Card's Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus, and it's kind of like that.
