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.

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*
