Don't forget the crystals, Professor

A physics professor at UConn is designing a device that he hopes will prove that time travel can be acheived using circulating lasers to warp time-space - and perhaps one day allow humans to travel to the past or future:

“How soon humans will be able to time travel depends largely on the success of these experiments, which will take the better part of a decade. And depending on breakthroughs, technology, and funding, I believe that human time travel could happen this century.”

Hopefully the professor will have more luck with his time machine than Napoleon Dynamite did...Gawsh!
