That's ^ the theory of Relativity.
It involves the speed of light and our distance from the object we are are observing - the closer to it we are the more current the observation in time, the further from it, the earlier in time (ie// The past).
So, relative to distance we can only travel into the past from the now.
OK, so we can easily shift our physical perception of time relative to the distance we are from it merely by observing objects at different distances in order to move from now to the past.
Look at your hand, then look out the window at the horizon, then look at the moon, the planets the stars, etc . . . You have moved backwards in time - however the detail/resolution of those objects diminished relative to the distance.
Not much use.
None of those ^ observations required the need to move our mass/physical bodies to arrive at those times because we observed light and whatever its component make-up entails reflecting from the objects to our eyes.
Now in order to move into the future . . . (Here comes Schrodinger's cat and all the endless possibilities).
How do we move our physical mass to a place that may require it to be moved in order to maintain the relative perception of the future?
I have no idea.
Added after further consideration:
The future does not exist; there is only the here and now - we cannot travel in time to the future which is why we speculate and need to be damn careful about what we speculate upon because speculation is the 1st cousin of bullshit.
The further out into the future we try to travel/speculate upon the lower our detail/resolution is just as the past, relative to our physical location was above.
Now before someone uses speaker modeling as an example of predicting/traveling to the future; acoustics are finite within a confined set of parameters/space at atmospheric pressure. Time is another dimension concerning human events not equal to acoustics.
My family and I like watching for their egg cases and all of the little boogers hatching in the Spring. They are rare in that they do not have more than one stage of life; adulthood. They hatch and grow, and die when winter hits, that's it. Most other insects have larvae, pupae, and then adulthood. I didn't think they were an invasive species though, and had heard it was actually illegal to willfully kill them with some kind of law protections.
That V8 Land Cruiser would be, um, 'interesting' to drive?
In Oz at least, that model had drum brakes, awful tyres, terrible suspension, steering which took is orders from the driver via Nagoya and zero comfort. Great off road, of course.
Nice Beetle: a 'deluxe' model with an external fuel filler and - gasp - a fuel gauge! Our '61 model needed you to open the bonnet to fill up and the fuel gauge consisted of a stick.
Land Cruiser- rebuilt / designed suspension, disc brakes (all 4 ?), rear roll cage for strength…. still not your comfort driver- but way 2 cool Colorado vehicle.
The beer / can opener on the VW is classic. The guy said it spent some of its life as a Mexican Taxi.
There was a 911 GTS, but I’m a fan of these old air cooled 90s models.
I tried it out, wasn't a fan. It just doesn't flow out nice. I tried with a natural bristle brush, foam brush, and terry cloth applicator. All left some kinda streaks. Then even when it was dry, it just didn't have the clarity I wanted. I gave it to a guy at work that makes pens and stuff on a lathe to try.
Till I get adventurous again, Waterlox Original is still my go-to.
Our local pub (bar/hotel) is now a kitsch gambling venue, but before that was a rather rough place we avoided. The main form of entertainment seemed to be fights, judging by reports in the local newspaper.
It had a sign writer who couldn't spell, so every Friday it had "Stripers and Topples Barmaids", whatever they were. The menu featured things like 'Hungry Trote' and 'Stek'.

I'd venture to say some of the best places to hang out, drink beers, and eat unhealthy bar food, sans the gambling machines.
It’s pawpaw time. I’ve got about 10 trees in an overgrown area of my yard—all in maybe a 12 foot diameter spot. Totally overshadowed by giant oaks and pin oaks. Never would have know they were there until dog devoured about 30 of them and we all regretted it for a few days. They’re an odd almost primitive tree that gets no bigger than about a 3 inch trunk, very few branches except top cover, and large leaves. Oldest, largest fruit native in North America.
Happy Labor Day weekend everyone. We spent a few hours in the pool yesterday and are ready to jump back in today. Hamburgers on the grill last night, chicken tenderloins on the grill tonight, and an 8 pound pork shoulder going in the smoker tomorrow morning at 5:00.

Had a little visitor in my yard yesterday...
Invasive species, but they eat other more annoying insects so that's a good thing.

Doesn't the female eat the male after copulation?
I have quite a few of those every year, beneficial for sure.
A Preying Mantis, they eat their husbands as well!
Geoff
The eating the head thing is kind of misleading. It goes both ways but doesn't happen every time.

Eric did you use the Osmo?

The front panels were one coat of shellac sealer and three coats of Waterlox.
Side note, do not apply Lacquer over Waterlox...at least not in three days.

Isn't that a Rane 'faked' product?

Yesterday was one month with no tobacco - I am also now nicotine free for three weeks. Yay me.

We love dive bars.
The fights at that pub were amongst the patrons....
Geoff
I love a good bar fight.
As long as I don't get hit or they spill my beer

Yeah, taste is important...

Smell like mangos. I’ll let you know what they taste like in a couple days
I've never even heard of that.

Look pretty green. Are they ripe?
