> I don't know if I've ever said this, but I have thought that a "simple" way to travel forward in time would be to go into stasis. When you go into stasis, nothing in stasis is affected by time. When the door opens, the former occuapant has, in effect, traveled in time. Those who have seen the first episode of Red Dwarf know what I'm talking about, as *may* viewers of other SF shows and movies, and readers of SF books.

The only problem with that scenario is, once you get there, you can't go back. So unless you're going into stasis for very good reasons (like, escaping a worldwide holocaust or becasue you have an incurable disease that you hope will be curable in the future) it wouldn't be a very enjoyable experience.
