Pity, it only moves into a single direction at constant speed... Jest aside, afaik, general relativity does allow time travel via wormholes. And those definitely have the feature of disallowing time travel to times before the time traveling wormhole has been created. | |

Even if they live across the galaxy and will never ever interact with us. The universal temporal road block is order of magnitudes larger in scope than alien life. | |
