Gregory:

There have even been designs for creating working time machines but we do not yet have the technology to build them. One that comes to mind is a 1/2 mile long spinning cylinder that must be composed of matter as dense or denser than a white dwarf and the spin rate must be at least 1/2 the speed of light. You would go backwards or forwards in time depending on the approach vector of your spaceship to the machine. The only drawback is you cannot go farther back than when you first "turned it on" and no farther forward than the thing actually lasts. If it lasts 1,000 years you could go up to 1,000 years in the future.

The point is, since we are beginning to see how it could be done, it's possible that within the next few hundred years rudimentary time machines can and will be built.
