There is no shortage of time machines in the world of science fiction.

You could probably name a bunch of them off the top of your head, from H.G. Wells' iconic creation to such mainstays as Dr. Who's Tardis and Dr. Brown's flux-capacitated DeLorean. But just how many fictional time machines can you explain?

In many works of fantasy and science fiction, the time machine is just a magical plot device. No actual science is thrown at the audience. Most of the time, no one asks for any. After all, you're probably not watching Life on Mars or Terminator Salvation for a lesson in theoretical physics.

Plus, if you're writing time-traveling fiction, then skipping the science spares you the embarrassment of getting something wrong. Isn't it enough that you described 1997 as being a world full of flying cars and busty android life partners?

Let's take a look at five examples of the plausible and ridiculous ways fictional TV and film characters have traveled through time.

  • I've have discovered a future time-machine already youtubers! I have self titled it as, B.E.D.S. (Bio-chronological earthen dilation ship). Guaranteed to displace a person 7 to 8 hours into the furture; for longer time-traveling purposes, free 750 ml bottle of a clear or dark liquid spirit, which is available upon purchasing and should be induce in regards to personal desire.

    On further note, why do people always want to travel to the past? I rather go to the future!

  • @VexT916 - Traveling to the future is dangerous. Imagine you want to travel to the year 2050 but actually you died in 2035.. Dogma :) - dilemma :)

  • i'll rather travel to the past especially if i can go tens of thousands of years back for one main reason- that is to know the truth and not what the books tell me. I will observe hiow the pyramids were built,  which animals species were around during those days especially the dinosaurs. There is not point knowing the future, that an wait. what wil be the excitement of living.

  • doc: marteh!

  • i am time travelling to the future every second..

  • Believe it or not its physically impossible to just go back in time by entering dates and hours, because ( The Names of the Days, Months , And Time is named by humans ... )

  • Lol E = MC2

  • Wait...The astronaut said he aged slower...

    So would that mean that in the course of traveling the effect of time

    still effects the person...

  • traveling through future is possible, if we have a speed of light rocket!

  • ME WANT SEE DELOREAN!!!
