New Crackpot Suggestions for crank.net

The following illustrious crackpots all claim that GR does not forbid
time travel. They claim that one can travel through time not only
toward the future but toward the past via closed time-like loops.


Just because GR does not forbid it does not mean that anyone can
build a time machine.

Look, Mr. Jackass. GR forbids time travel, period. Seeing that you set
yourself as the advocate of crackpot science, the fact that you did
not know that GR forbids time travel not only shows your ignorance in
matters that you and your crackpot idols should have already known, it
shows you are a ****-for-brains crackpot as well.


Before you start to blast me too. let me state that I tend to agree with
you that time travel is impossible for philosophical reasons very
similar to the one that you quote by Dr. Joe Rosen on your website.

However allow me to make some observations.

1) Einstein did not rule out time travel from GR. He agreed that Goedel
solution shows that under relativity time travel in some situations are
possible. As if there is one solution then its possible that other
solutions can be found.

You are correct. The fact is, even Einstein did not realize that time
cannot change. That's the problem when you think that physics is all
about equations. Maybe I should include Mr. Spacetime on the crackpot
list, what do you think?

Based on your logic yes.

Sorry. The rest of your stuff bores me.

Well I think you are obligated to defend your argument if you put it up.
