Roger and Charles--I believe there was a serious attempt by a physcist to build a time machine (I think in the late 60's or early 70's) based on some of Einsteins equations that indicated time distortions in proximity to a rapidly rotating cylinder. Other than that relativity allows a time travel of sorts to the future at near light speeds. As you noted Roger it is one way. As for this British group I just find myself shaking my head. Advancements in science seem to just offer nut cases a basis for wild ideas. All the Best Druss

Off-Topic, Re: Time Travel Well, of course if we could change our age as well as travel back in time, I'd go back to when I was around 6 and start my education again. As far as traveling around in time, I didn't even think about money. It would be easy to make a fortune, just by going back and loading up on Haloid Corp., Wal-Mart, Microsoft, Yahoo, etc. I think if I could hop in a time machine, I'd like to visit various times claimed for religious Revelations, such as Mount Sinai. As far as going forward in time, especially if it is one-way, you made a good point about not wanting to go forward too far, or one might be too technically illiterate to be able to function. It would be fascinating to see what would develop, though, in terms of miniaturization of electronics, space travel, etc. As far as relocating permanently in time, I'm not sure that I'm convinced this is the best period -- but I don't know which one might be better. Health care is better now than it's ever been, and we've had relative stability in this country during our lives, but I don't like the moral decay that has been promoted by "popular culture," and exported virtually worldwide.

Thread: The price of C-Phone (CFON) has strengthened some lately, but I still fail to see any significant value in the business. A Proxy was filed today in which shareholders are asked to approve additional share issuance related to the Convertible Preferred Offering of December 1997. I haven't figured out the deal, and not sure whether this could have an impact on shareholder value. Does anyone see any value in this company? Is it a short to $0?
