Theory: travel faster than
light around the Earth and you can move forwards in Time.
A likely story. Like all great hypotheses, the theory of
relativity relies on the basic assumption that nobody will ever be able to do
the experiment which will prove it wrong; and anything that can’t be disproved
must be true. Garnish with fresh
mathematics, heat and serve.
But supposing it’s true, and
feasible. Think, not of the fame, the
glory and the Nobel prize, but of the commercial possibilities.
Correct; there are none. That’s why it’s a safe hypothesis.

Dragon by Tom Holt)
