But what if, instead of a time-machine being a machine which travels through time, it is a machine in which people can travel through time (within the operational lifespan of the machine).

This way, time-travellers will be able to travel into the past as far back as the day the first working time machine gets switched on.

Suppose that day is December 21st 2012 - when the Mayan Calendar says our concept of time will change.

I'm looking forward to it.

Is it too late for me to patent the idea?
Time Travel Machine Outlined - Yahoo! News

"Ori emphasized one significant limitation of this time machine—"it can't be used to travel to a time before the time machine was constructed." "

Does my post from last september count as copyright for the idea?
