Possible Methods Wormhole

• Folded bedspread
• Portable?
• Is only open for fraction of second
• In Dr. Who
• In this universe, other universe

10
Possible Methods Light

• In theory
• Not really time TRAVEL, but time acceleration
• On platform would age very slow

11
Logical Fallacies

• Grandfather Paradox
• Do we have fate?
• Premise disturbing
• Infinite universes?
• One solid timeline?
• Future being defined?
• Future already defined?
