Time Travel?

I think what people need to know is how time travel works. Is it like a Star Trek teleporter? Do you just materialize out of no where? Do you travel in an alternate space of cosmic designs/backgrounds? Do you go out to space, travel in the opposite direction of Earth's orbital spin, then land back onto Earth?

Then you have to realize what may happen if you do make a successful trip. Will your heart be where your liver was? Etc, etc, etc.

But for the uses of time traveling devices/technology, I'd say it would probably be owned by some organization of researchers who would be moderating the usage. Being allowed to ride it for reasonable requests would be alot like doing some monotonous quest in WoW or FFXI. You have to go do this, then get that, then do that, then go there, then talk to him, her, it, that, those, etc. Then once you've obtained all the required qualifications, you get tested at the research center. Pass = yay you get to ride the time machine. Fail = ultimately be banned from ever going near it. That's just what I think.

As for moral issues regarding whether this group of researchers can be trusted, or not, that's entirely up to the decision of various other groups. There would be some huge commitee that will decide which group of individuals may be granted the responsibility of moderating this tech. And yes, even that commitee can be corrupt enough to allow misusage. But hey, it's power and releasing it to the world is the first step to ultimate destruction.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
