Obsessed & Scientific - Part 3

Is time travel possible? In this fascinating short documentary, director Jay Cheel explores the real-life theories behind the science of time travel and the strange subculture of enthusiasts who are obessed with it. Meet Michio Kaku, world-renowned theoretical physicist and author of the book Hyperspace. Meet Rob Niosi, a hobbyist building his own full-scale home replica of H.G. Wells' time machine. Meet Larry Haber, the entertainment lawyer representing the family of John Titor, an alleged time traveller from the year 2036. Do these people know something about the world that the rest of us don't? Obessed & Scientific is a quirky look at the intersection of science-fact and science-fiction.

that dude building the fucking prop is a waste of time

I think this is pure crativity and one day their models will be the building blocks of an actual time machine! KEEP BUILDING, DREAMING... dreams made our world today! Dreams like theirs will bring us to the universe!

MICHIO KAKU OR PREZ 2012

A LOT OF SCIENTIFIC FACT EVOLVES FROM SCIENCE FICTION...NOW THINK A MINUTE, REMEMBER BLADERUNNER? HARRISON FORD TALKING TO GIRL ON THE PHONE VIA VIDEO LINK? ...NOW THIS IS POSSIBLE. IE MOBILE PHONES.

IT JUST TAKES IMAGINATION TO GET THE GREY CELLS WORKING. AND COME UP WITH SOMETHING FACTUAL.

What makes that so interesting for them, Doctor, is that we once posessed the same technology as them, and yet we destroyed ourselves and we are the remnants of the greatness of times past.

@feeefyefofuuum : kind of like how people put their faith into believing that characters like Abe Lincoln, G.Washington, Sir Isaac Newton, C.Columbus, Plato, Socrates, and other "historical figures" actually existed. Show me the evidence. Heck, there's more evidence of UFO's from an alien world than there is of these "historical figures". We have thousands of videos, eyewitness testimony, and photos. We have only books for the "historical figures". It's all a matter of what one wants to believe.

Langan's brain of Relativity intelligence plus Kaku's Knowledge of everything equals...

Time Travel.

[UnforgivingCritic]

there is a possibility that one of us is telling the truth. But, everybody has his own basis..

@mraperish - pretty much the same way people accept religion or any other form of cult following without any real evidence, at least that is how I look at it, people just want to believe something so much they will even without any proof or evidence. Its sad really...

[mraperish]

anyone could make up any story on the internet. various people from all sorts of backgrounds have made accurate generalized predictions of things to come. why would anyone really believe this nonsense without proof.

[SweetSoundOfGrace]

...the matrix is showing more and more glitches...

[sharethehouse]

you are totally right!
