I know.  But the other thread is for why it isn't possible.

You just gotta get yourself a time traveling device.

Was it Albert Einstein who said that the only reason time exists is to stop everything happening at once.

On a more serious note.

Gentlemen, let me introduce you to the Tardis.

When one travels back in time, does everyone and everything go with the person traveling backwards? Or does the time machine use some kind of real-life shadow copy solution to make it possible?

Of course not.  Why do you think the Terminators always show up naked?

If they ever do, that will probably be why.
They'll say it's to free us from the toil of manual labor, etc, bla bla, but we'll all know why really.  Kind of like those personal trimmers, that are great for sideburns and upper lip.  We all know what they're really for.

I think Cheapass Games had a game where you all played inventors of time machines racing to get Patent #1.

I'd recommend Kill Doctor Doctor and Give me the Brain.  Lord of the Fries is pretty good also.
