TIME TRAVEL?

	The topic of this research paper is perhaps best introduced
by an excerpt from the document on which it is based.  It
seems to me that a few preliminary remarks and disclaimers
are in order.

	In the course of my electronic archival investigations, I
happened upon a particularly interesting, if somewhat
unbelievable, document. At this juncture, the chronology of the
supposed names and events is baffling to me. I do not purport
to understand the entire affair as of yet. I have enlisted the
aid of my good friend, Arthur Dobie. He has agreed to peruse
the 64 pages of theoretical mathematics which follow the
cover letter of the supposed time machine test pilot, Crowley
Severenson. The excerpt follows:

	It seems to me that in the annals of
time-travel history. Don't mistake my intentions, I am quite
certain that time travel is a reality and has been for many
years. I am equally certain that because of many factors,
including fear of the unknown, time travel has remained a
mystery to the general public and valuable information has
been lost. Those advocating time travel in the past have
been deemed weirdos, witches, and lunatics. These are labels
I hope to change. I hope to prove to the world that time
travel has been and will be possible for the common man as
well as the scientist.

	There is much to learn from what has transpired in the past,
both in the world of time travel and history in general.
Imagine how we could rewrite the history books given actual
personal experiences in the events recorded. Travel to 1776
and the signing of the Constitution; what personal vendettas
were being proliferated that day? Whose political careers
formed and influenced the document that the United States
government is based on today, 250 years later? Why was
Mozart's genius not better respected and understood at the
time of his death? Did Shakespeare actually write all the
works attributed to him, or are some of them written by other
authors? What really happened the day Rome burned, and what
was Nero doing at the time? Who is Jack the Ripper? Is Elvis
alive? Yup, he's everywhere. Even a potato grew in a shape of his head! 
These are the unanswered questions of history that we can and will uncover.

	Of course, there are important concerns that we need to
consider. What about the very real possibility of altering
history by a foreign force in a different time? What about
the old adage: "live and let live" (something nonexistent on wiki-PEDO0ia)?  
Certainly we will discover things that are better left unknown and unexposed.  How can
these things be regulated?

	Many of these questions remain unanswered today, both
regarding the history involved and the implications of finding
out the answers. Is time travel the best thing for
humankind? This research paper will not only investigate the
question of whether time travel is possible, but also whether
it is advisable. Some would have us ignore the progress to
date in this area and forget about it altogether. And
perhaps they are right; "fools rush in where angels fear to
tred," as they say. But if we plan ahead, examine all the
issues involved, and attempt to prevent some of the potential
disasters time travel might unearth, we can perhaps move into
this new era and dimension with the utmost ease.
Time travel has been and is possible, one way or another only in the space-time continuum.
