What I'm talking about is putting the clocks back an hour, like we did yesterday/today(?). Think about it; it reaches the midnight of October 30th and the time suddenly jumps back an hour, allowing all humans to relive the 11th hour (ok, 23rd hour) free of charge and black holes. Therefore, if you make any mistakes in that hour, you get the opportunity to go back and correct them, and if someone asks what you're doing, just say the hour you messed up in technically has been replaced. I love that idea of messing with time!
Other ways to time travel in the modern world are:
- Fly to a country that has a different time zone to yours, so you can experience time travel from the comfort (or 'comfort' if it's EasyJet) of an aeroplane seat, and not even feel different when you cross over the various time boundaries.
- Post a package/letter to Australia, but tell the Post Office staff to send it to the future.
- Be present when the clocks are put forward in Spring. It always annoys me how an hour is stolen from my life then, but I'm usually asleep so don't even notice.
- I suppose you could argue that every moment you are alive is a form of time travel since we are continually progressing forward in time, so just by reading this, you have gone all Dr Who minus the Tardis!

The real way to travel in time is to move faster than light. This means you travel in time. Forward or backwards depending which way round the earth you travel. This is however impossible because as velocity increases so does mass and therefore energy required to increase velocity until you require infinite energy to travel just 1 metre quicker. This point in achieved at just shy of the speed of light. Therefore making it impossible to travel in time.
I hear ya Jeff - I do A-level physics after all. However, that covers time travel on earth rather than the whole universe. I doubt humans will ever manage it though, and if the do, bad stuff will probably happen.
