the actual time travel vehicle... characteristics?

[Einstein]

thats pretty funny. He built everything, except this little bit that came from a little green leprichorn... and then the green mist came... At least in a car he had somewhere to sit; and if the theory was true, then presumably the vehicle is the entire machine, and it transports itself and everything inside it... which mean it is a self supporting, autonamous time machine, rather than one that effectively pushes someone and a unpowered capsule through time (llike shooting someone from a gun).

I do tend to believe his story. But he just put it all together. He didn't build the electronics. He had helpers. And the gentleman that built the electronics I do believe has passed on. He tells me that the caduceus coils were just powered by a 700 watt DC to AC power inverter. But this appears to be a machine that does something without any understanding as to how the events occurred. And when you look toward a scientific understanding behind the caduceus coil, the information just doesn't seem to be found anywhere. So if I were to build a time machine using caduceus coils, I would not start with something the size of a car. Perhaps more understanding could be gained by having a group of individuals attempt to analyze the behavior of all the various types of caduceus coil configurations.

I look for the people wearing RayBan Time Travel-Google-o-pedia sunglasses. You know, the sunglasses with built in encyclopedia, maps, language translator, etc. .

Google Glass.

On a serious note: IF time travel actually does take place, I don't believe it will be a human per se, but a hybrid if not a full on genetically built android of some type. Or simply a remote-controlled type of energy, without any solid type of body whatsoever. Either way, the time traveler would be immune to any diseases and be able to access required internal databases, be able to adapt to changing eras and environments.

I also believe that IF time traveling is discovered, it will be done by accident during research in another field. I.E., experimenting with light-bending material for "invisible" body-armor. Or trying electromagnetic experiments on military ships to become undetectable to radar.

Could also be some type of dimensional type of traveling as well, that includes "time" as well as other dimensions. We might not be able to see the time traveler's at all, if they are able to remain within a dimensional "side-band" of sorts.

Time Travellers from the far future would seem very magical to us, indeed.

LOL, that's why I keep saying time travel was invented in the 1930's. Due to a naval vessel that disappeared right out of the water in plain view of many witnesses.

It could have. Nobody knows what happened when the U.S. Navy (German Scientists from Operation Paper-Clip) was testing mine repelling technology using Tesla based electro-magnets.

Leprichorn? Lol, what is that a cross between a leprechaun and a unicorn?

Sorry..off topic, but I hadn't heard that one before. Was wondering what the heck a lerprichorn was. What movie is THAT from??

back on topic:
I'd like to imagine it as a machine about the size of a small car: all enclosed, windowless: but the capsule doesnt arrive with the traveller- its more of a shield and life support systems during 'flight' - and transports whatever is within it to a point in time and space: but its only whats inside that arrives.

This would make the ability to 'return' to the future problematic... but maybe the vehicle can scoop up a specific time and space in the reverse way.. as long as you are standing in the right place!
