| 0:27.2 | This is your host, John Haggardorn, and it's great to have you with us. |
| 0:30.8 | One of the most fascinating, unsolved mysteries to me is that of time travel. |
| 0:35.9 | Can someone really travel backward or forward through time? |
| 0:39.4 | Has it been done before? And how would it be possible? This question is fascinated scientists |
| 0:44.9 | and layman for centuries and been the subject of countless books and movies. |
| 0:49.8 | Theories abound, and the level of interest seems to be growing all the time. |

| 1:56.7 | into our own future. If it was a hoax, and of course most people assume it was, it was an |

| 2:09.6 | Teter's 570 or so Internet Post would describe an upcoming civil conflict over a U.S. presidential |
| 2:15.4 | election. It warned us about a mad cow disease outbreak, |
