I wonder how many takers they have?
Morlocks aside, how would YOU like to visit, even live hundreds of years in the future? There may be
a way, and that is the purpose of The Time Travel Fund(tm).

Q: How does this work?
A: Current scientific theory states that Time Travel may be possible, however the technology is a long way off, perhaps hundreds of years in the
future. Now, assume it does become possible in say, 500 years. As with any technology, Time Travel will get less expensive as time goes on. Just as
the price of a VCR has dropped to less than $70 from the several hundred dollars it cost just ten years ago, Time Travel, once it becomes feasible,
will initially be very expensive yet it will become more and more economical as time goes by.

Q: How does this help me?
A: The concept is that one day, it may be possible for people living far in the future to retrieve you from your current frame of reference (their
past - your present) and bring you into the future (their present - your future.)

Q: Why would they want to?
A: That is the purpose of the fund. The simple answer is, we pay them to bring you into the future.
"A hundred years ago, few people believed it possible for humans to travel through outer space. Time travel, like space travel, was merely science
fiction. Today, spaceflight is almost commonplace. Might time travel one day become commonplace too?"
Paul Davies, "How to Build a Time Machine"
Q: How?
A: We establish a fund in current time. You make a small contribution to the fund, and in a few hundred years that small amount grows to a very large
amount. From that fund, moneys will be taken and used to retrieve you, perhaps seconds after you join, perhaps even moments before your recorded
death, perhaps some other point in your lifetime. Further, the fund may even pay to have you "rejuvenated" medically (assuming this is
scientifically possible at that time,) and support you financially for a number of years. (Note: Retrieving you just before the moment of death is
just one possible scenario, but one that would avoid any Star Trek(TM) type paradoxes. There are an unlimited number of other possibilities, and we do
not know what they will do, we can only make reasonably informed guesses.)

The Time Travel Fund made the USA Today Hot Site.
Q: How much will this cost me?
A: Our fee is only $10, of which a percentage is placed into the fund, to grow and earn interest, and the rest is used to pay for overhead in running
the website, covering legal fees, paying for your certificate, and maintaining the database of members.

Q: Only ten dollars? How is that going to get me a ride into the future?
A: Compound interest. As long as the interest earned out paces inflation and taxes, the money will eventually build to where the costs of retrieving,
rejuvenating and supporting you are fully covered.
For example, if you make a one-time only deposit of just a single dollar, at only 5% interest compounded yearly, in five hundred years that single
dollar will grow to $39,323,261,827.22 (That's 39 BILLION with a "B" dollars!) Please note that we hope to earn 5% interest above taxes and
inflation, which is very possible, even in today's economy (Tax lien certificates, for example, return 16% or better.) If we make 5% above taxes and
inflation, then it would be like having $39 billion in today's money.
according to the equations of Albert Einstein's general theory
of relativity (the best
theory of time and space we have), there is nothing in the laws of physics to prevent time travel"
