If someone discovered a way to travel through time...

[Lifted]

do we have the knowledge (and technology) today that would be required to help us travel back thousands or even hundreds of years? Assume we also had the ability to teleport an object to any location, do we know enough about the location of Earth with respect to rest of the universe to transport something to the exact location that the Earth was in 100 years ago? With the Earth in orbit around the Sun, the Sun in some orbit in the Milky Way, being effect by gravity of other stars and the black hole in the center, and the Milky Way being effected by whatever other galaxies or objects out there, and the universe expanding at an accelerating rate, and... would this be possible to figure out in the next 5 - 10 years?

I think it could be done now, but that's the kind of task that when it gets delivered to you, you tell the deliverer to fuck themselves, and hit the unemployment line :^D

That would be some serious number crunching, and the accuracy would have to be right on since you're dealing with a traveler's life.

Who cares about this when all people will use it is to nail chicks that died awhile ago.

There's nothing stopping you from nailing chicks that died a while ago other than a shovel and a lack of decency and self respect.

Sig worthy.

Sounds like a good way to meet people.

Technically, we are traveling through time everyday and every moment. If you are interested, watch The Elegant Universe.
