The Practical Time Travel Project

When was the last time you where happy? When will you be happy? Often these are the questions used the define happiness, making it appear to be a state which cannot exist within the present. This way of thinking about happiness makes pursuing it difficult, happiness is either behind you or just over the horizon, thinks of H.G Well’s time traveller leaving his present and setting out to discover his future utopia. One thing is sure, we have strong emotional ties to these moments, to these ‘happiness points’ past or future, which help us, define our position in time.

What if there was a way of visiting these ‘happiness points’ within time? We here at the Artistic Research and Special Experimentation Organisation believe that a strong emotional connection to points in time is the first stage in the development of time travel; this is why we present The Practical Time Travel Project. In order to collect data regarding time travel we need subjects to interact with our prototype time machine, each subject will required to use the Temporal Focus Unit (see Fig.1) which will focus Tychon energy into the mind this combined with the subjects connection to their ‘happiness point’ within their life time will enable them to travel, mentally, through time. With practice the user will be able to connect with the ‘happiness point’ of someone who is not themselves and travel beyond their life’s timeline.

Users who are sufficiently confidant about their level of future happiness will be able to project their thoughts into the future, this will of course this requires plenty of practice using the Temporal Focus Unit, are you willing to find happiness? Whenever it might be?
