Time Machine Test Ride

I dropped into a time warp for the weekend. It was effective and relatively easy, but most importantly, it worked. The program that I was in at university had a reunion, and it was much like a weekend there would have been back in the late Fourteenth Century. As it happened, the transition was more effective with some people than with others.  

During the seven year period when the program existed, the average apparent age of participants was about twenty, plus or minus five. The apparent variant appeared to have increased to more than twenty years. In addition to mere time travel, there was a rejuvenation component, but that feature appears to have been variable in effectiveness, from one hundred percent effective to as low as zero percent effective.

The time warp did provide useful data regarding the fact that people never change. The beautiful, brilliant, and loveable still are, and, if anything are more so than they were in tomes past. The noisome and intolerable may also be more so, but I didn’t notice any such.

The biggest problem with this kind of time travel is that it is temporary, which might be fine, if one managed to get everything important done before the virtual wormhole collapsed, but virtual wormholes do not require more energy than the universe holds, so some future alteration to the methodology may make longer trips possible.

With one partly successful test drive completed, I have more reasons to test out some more methods of time travel.
