No Time Travel, Sorry 888
MOBE2001 writes "The bad news is that time does not change. Spatial velocity is given as dx/dt. Velocity in time(dt/dt) is nonsensical. As simple as that. In other words, no time travel to the past or the future, no motion in space-time, no wormholes and no hanky-panky with your great, great grandmother. There is only the changing present, aka the NOW. The good news is that distance is an illusion and we'll be able to travel instantly from anywhere to anywhere."

Now wait...and eat sometimes.
5 years later, exit the closet.
You will find that time of the world has advanced from when last remembered by 5 years.
PS. don't forget to setup an auto-pay for your residential rent/payment. Otherwise your travel may be interrupted, and you will not be able to travel the full 5 years.

We can take the differences between this guy and the time cube guy as one vector, and the differences between this guy and Archimedes Plutonium as another.
Now that we have two basis vectors, we can define a two-dimensional phase space for crackpottery instead of relying on scalars.
Now that we can apply some basic vector and tensor operations to the field of psychoceramics, think of the new discoveries to be made!
