What's the furthest we've come when it comes to time travel research? I kind of need this so I'll take it from there

idk op, hack into all the us gov systems and see if they made any progress

It takes a special kind of brainlet to even consider such an impossible concept as time travel. Once you understand low tier quantum mechanics you realize how stupidly impossible it is.

Once you understand calculus you realize how retarded any math is.

Humans in the original timeline actually figured it out, but Hillary won. I went back and changed the timeline so that time travel was never invented, resulting in Trump's win. Trust me, the trade off was worth it.

Time travel is already possible, just not to the past.

We know that you can place humans in space and that time will move more slowly for them there relative to Earth. If you needed to, you could put them in cryogenic sleep and recall them to Earth when they are needed. Why would one do this? Well, our technological capabilities are accelerating, but we are still far away from breakthroughs in fields like hover technology. At present, the STEM field is oversaturated with workers, so you can take the especially brilliant minds and conserve them for a later date once the lackeys have sufficiently laid the groundwork. Then the geniuses come back and have better information to work with to make stuff happen.

Here is preliminary assessment of what is feasible for time travel.

All of the wires that make up the physical "stuff" of the internet today are the same wires that will exist tomorrow, next year etc... Therefore, the internet in the past is connected to the internet today by real physical infrastructure (in the sense of 4D spacetime rather than 3D space.) Therefore it should be possible for a signal that originates on the internet in the present to reach a destination on the internet in the past. This would make it possible for time travelers to engage in internet chat rooms (and the like) without having to actually transport their physical body through a time machine which could be possible but would be very, very much more comlpicated than a simple temporal modulating modem for the kind of "time travel" I have suggested.
