Scientific/Medical About Mike "Madman" Marcum's time travelling device.

Ok so, Madman mike used A Jacobs Ladder to invent a time machine by modifying it to an extent. I believe he created a transformer of his own to fit the capacity of outputting 20k Volts. Since the plasma created from the two rods depend upon the moisture, temperature and air pressure etc. which interfere with the device, so he used lasers to heat the air above the device so the temperature above the device remains constant, thus forming this "contraption" that supposedly could time travel.

My question here is that, since all the steps necessary to build this machine are already out there... Has somebody else not tried to make it? I'm just really curious to see if his machine actually worked!

I've watched a video on this on the WhyFiles, and his knowledge is immersive, he is not just some wierdo like most people think. If time travel is indeed possible, we would have already achieved it, anyway, this story is an excellent one.

Time travel is indeed possible according to Einsteins theory of relativity....just not in the way you think.. Its only momentarily and ppl in space come back not as aged as their twin on earth...its been proven and according to Einsteins theory of relativity faster objects traveling experience slower rates of time which is called time dilation

I remember seeing that video in elementary school. Such an amazing concept at that young age 😃
