In some science mag a physicists postulate or believed that while we could not invent a time machine to go back in time that we could see back into time.
Depending on how cost prohibitive it is, archaeologists definitely would not to get in on that action.
Plus you could solve crimes where people have disposed of all evidence before authorities got on the scene.
I am not sure the cost would be achievable. And I would dearly love to link to the article.
So if this 'pipe dream' is true the ramification are enormous.
So what do those apes in ISIS really think they are doing?
