A University of Connecticut physics professor plans to build and test a time machine.

If his idea pans out, won't there be a host of potential paradoxes, such as time travelers killing their parents and making it impossible for them to exist? No, he says, explaining that those travelers would continue to exist in a ''parallel universe.''

And what about the ethics of changing history?

There would be government laws to control time travel, he believes.

''Any technology has a potential nefarious side to it,'' he says. ''But I don't think there's a way to stop it. We as a species have always reached out. We've been doing that since the caves. I say let's make it so that we better reality. I think we can bravely do that.''

Just give me immortality, infinite energy, a working star drive, terraforming, and nanotechnology, and I'll be just about satisfied.
