Time Travel Convention

This January Whitman College (Walla Walla, WA) hosted it's annual Time Travel Convention. You will all be excited to hear that the two authors of this very blog were given the opportunity to give the keynote speech. It was an honor and a privilege, and we hope to be invited back again next year for the festivities. The two day event took place in the lovely Reid Center, where a number of the leading scientists, technicians, and politicians took the stage to share the progress they have been making. In addition, a handful of attendees brought new time machine models (of course, we already know which ones will work, because we've used them in the future). Still, that didn't stop the event from being a great time. Here are some photos from the even in January:

Think Tank

Every great movement requires a great think tank, and that is what we have here. We have experts working around the clock to further time travel technology, politics, economics and, of course, entertainment. Although we cannot reveal the entirety of our think tank, we would like to take this opportunity to introduce you to some of the brainiacs at work.



Kendi and Tracey

Co-authors of the very blog you are reading, Kendi and Tracey created the think tank to help maintain steady progress in the field. The think tank was created when both decided to conduct research in some less obvious locations and time periods. One of the many projects that Kendi is currently working on is determining whether or not fine pickles and cheese will last longer during regulated time travel than other commonly packed foods.



Sean Carroll

Author of Eternity To Here, and guest speaker of Morgan Freeman's Through the Wormhole: Time Travel episode, Sean Carroll is one of our most useful assets. This guy is smart. Physics, space, math -- you name it, he's already mastered it. But don't be fooled -- Mr. Carroll is not afraid to take on some of the more hands on tasks such as installing the time machine's solar panels, washing the time machine after a particularly messy trip, and walking the think tank's pet dog.



The Mythbusters

Time travel isn't real? Busted.



Alf

Full name Gordon Shumway, ALF has been particularly helpful when dealing with outer space. The reason for this should be obvious.



Mickey the Cat

Mickey has been with us since day one helping to assemble our first time machine. Some of his best ideas come to him while on a long stroll around the neighborhood, or a morning run in his apartment. He will be on the next manned time machine mission.



Albert Einstein

He usually brings the coffee. We keep him around because he's pretty good at physics.



Aristotle

Every time we would go visit Ancient Greece he would try to convince us to let him get involved. Finally we just gave in.
