This morning I woke up and was happy because it was Saturday and my day off from work; then, I realized it was actually Friday and I only had a few minutes to get to the office.  I was extremely dejected that I hadn’t really jumped through time and it got me thinking about time travel.  A Google search for “time travel” brought me to The Time Travel Fund, a site dedicated to securing “your ticket to the future”.

The premise behind the site is that you invest into the fund which will accrue interest for the next 500 years so that future people can come back and “retrieve” you right before your death and fund medical treatment to keep you alive.  They even say that because of compound interest you should have enough money left over after the retrieval to “live on in comfort for a couple centuries, and then some”.

You could be retrieved seconds before your recorded point of death. This brings up several points: By retrieving you right before your recorded “death” it reduces the chance of any Star Trek[tm] type paradoxes. Perhaps a “clone” of your body will be grown and inserted back in time to your point of death to take your place for the funeral. This possibility also assumes that by then medical science will have advanced to the point where you can be revived, and your body rebuilt to a younger, stronger state. Just think, you may one day wake up 1000 years in the future, a young, healthy and physically 18 years old, with several hundred years of life ahead of you.

At least they are thinking about taking measures so that there is not a universe swallowing paradox.  If you want a good chuckle you can check out The Time Travel Fund for your self.  I just hope we don’t bomb ourselves back to the stone age before we can invent time travel.  LOL
