This is a really great article. If your interested in this stuff, its a good read. This was the guy I was talking about.
[quote:92efe]Mallett's theory is based largely on Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity and his special theory of relativity. The general theory states that the closer an object is to a gravitational source, the slower time moves. Under the special theory, Enistein said the faster an object, like a jet, moves relative to the speed of light, the slower time moves.
This was proved in 1975, when Einstein's theory was tested by using two synchronized atomic clocks -- one on an airplane and another on the ground. When the plane landed, the time of its clock was behind the one on the ground, though by only fractions of a second, Mallett said.
"But this proves you can travel into the future," he said.
Travelling into the past is a bit more complicated, and that's where Mallett's theory goes beyond Einstein's theories. Mallett believes that light also generates a gravitational field.

There you go. Time travel into the future is possible. Its already been done and proved.[/quote:92efe]
the government should do experiments on this by sending a rocket in to orbit with a large fuel supply and have it orbit around earth at a very high speed. Then they would compare the rockets clock with the clocks on earth.[/quote:92efe]
I could just see a NASA Press guy announcing that to The US public. Im sure everyone would consider it to accomplish something.
Basiclly people were spending 3 billions dollars of your tax dollars to compare a clock in space with a clock on earth......
