Well, according to Dr Emmet Brown: "the Flux Capacitor is what makes time travel possible"

Of course I could be a little misguided here on this subject, but I did see/hear it on the television, so it must be true.

Isn't a clock a time machine?

Flux Capacitor is very impractical for hobbyists because it needs 1.21 Jigowatts of power to work. Futurepedia - The Back to the Future Wiki

Believe me, build the flux capacitor and the GigaWatts will come.

That's a timer IC. Not a time machine.

Hi,

Basically anything that has mass is a time machine. Closer to the mass time changes relative to something farther away from the mass.
The LHC is a very effective time machine for particles. Their life times change from our point of view because they are traveling so fast.

A Tardis.

I think too many people spend too much time living in their past already. I would try out the future so I know what mistakes I will make ahead of time.
