Remember a year or two ago when some kid in the midwest created nuclear fusion in his basement? At first he wanted to build a hyperbolic chamber but his mom said no. Imagine that conversation.

Little Jimmy: Hey mom! I have this great idea for a hyperbolic chamber. Can I build one here in the...

Mom: No!

Jimmy: Aaawww come on...ppllleeeaassee??

Mom: I said no young man, and that's final!

(two days later)

Jimmy: Ok mom, if I can't build a hyperbolic chamber, how about a nuclear fusion reactor in the basement?

Mom: Oh..I don't know...

Jimmy: Come on, please?!?! It will be great!

Mom: Oh alright, well I suppose so.

Jimmy: Yay!!!

(putting off my history homework ftw)

kinda, but not really. just put you in a giant particle accelerator and accelerate you close to the speed of light, but that would only slow time down.

You could always get close to the event horizon of a black hole; though, you may overshoot your destination by a tad.

Well we just have to pass light thru a negative refractive index and maybe get your atoms to reach their point energy LOL

Acutally that would be if you wanted to travel back in time

LIGHT SPEED

Since light cannot even escape a black whole that suggests that things are getting sucked in fast than C so while you are being sucked in the "air" around you should be glowing blue due to Cerenkov radiation.

That's why there should be a worm hole towed up next to the black hole event horizon; that way you avoid the painful stretching and dividing black holes seem to inflict upon one's body.
