I just found this article online, detailing his ideas on how to make time travel happen.

I'm interested in hearing why this doesn't work, and what would have to be true for this to work.

Because I'm not quite sure I understand this article. So, I thought I would go to the experts.
Often incoherent. Tends to ramble on about various topics.
Hopes to get beyond that.

It's nothing but a collection of extremely vague ideas shrouded in steampunk terminology.

Oh. I didn't think steampunk technically existed in his time period.

And I thought the description of how to build a time machine was at least concrete. *shrug*

"Billy, when I say that ethics is our number one priority and safety is also our number one priority, you should take that to mean exactly what I said. Also quality. That's our number one priority as well. Don't look at me that way, you're in the corporate world now and this is how it works."
