It looks like wormholes aren't all they're cracked up to be, when it comes to time travel. I'm kind of shocked. Does that mean they're implying that Star Gate SG-1 and Deep Space Nine were fictional?

I guess that explains the low attendance by backward time travelers.

That's Stargate SG-1, Rand. ;-)

Time travel is overrated. As long as wormholes are useful for instantaneous point-to-point space travel I'll be happy...

Unless this is disinfo planted by the backwards time travelers.

*Cues "X-Files" theme.*

It seems to me that time travel is impossible on the basis of the many worlds interpetation of quantum physics. Everytime you do something, the resulting quantum states result in new universes. Each universe following its own timeline. If you had a time machine and could go back in time, the moment you stepped out of it, the universe that you stepped into (back in time) would branch off and become a new universe, separate from the time line that results in the universe that you just left behind (the future). The "new" universe moves along an entirely new timeline, totally separate from the new universe.

I know nothing about the real world possibility of transversable wormholes. I have never heard of these being talked about as a serious possibility. I think of these like I think of the "transporter" beam in StarTrek. A cute idea for entertainment but having no basis in reality.

You see the trick, it can only be done at below zero temperatures, Dr. Yonichi, would have discovered this in 2004; if he hadn't been
frozen by the Jason Long, character from the future (too much x-files)

But, what about John Titor? Heh.

Sounds like "Sliders" is closer to it than "Stargate SG-1." I've been holding off deciding which series to watch until this question got settled.

Are they still on TV these days?
