What I like about being in academia; is looking for information in journals; articles; papers and old primary sources.

The cool thing is understanding the information given to you and mastering it and keeping up with the literature and thought with the experts.

The mainstream knows a lot about Einstein; but always shadows people like Godel and Everett.

Now; if you are in the science community and in the know; these figures are basically mainstream to you. The same concept applies to Tesla; since people know more about him now than some ugly ass bimbo chick named Snooki on MTV who will later on be forgotten and only remembered as America's biggest experimental embarrassment.

However, most people out there don't know these guys did debate with each other many times over; along with Tesla; Edison; Feyman and other contemporaries at the time.

So needless to say; there is an interesting thing to gather from this.

Let's start with this; papers and articles:

Now for something more recent.

Back To The Future Is Easy - It's Back To The Past That's Hard

Now; if any of you all are familiar with literature reviews and research; anyone knows how to get to primary sources and dig thru for more information that was left at the bottom of the Google ranking search, this is the old method that we've used for many years that still works effectively.

There are citations to papers on here that could lead to more papers and eventually, a possible answer or question from other academics from other branches in academia that can help create a change in the world around us.

For all we know; the answer to time travel could actually be in all these pages; theorems and proofs that were not seeing here yet.

So in terms of this kind of stuff; anyone else interested in digging for more obscure debates, papers and articles pertaining to this? The more obscure; the better. ^_^y
