Careers: Physics/interview

Question
I will like to know if I can interview you for a school project. The project is on time travel and I need an experts opinion on a few questions.  

Answer
Yes,

you can ask anything and I will try to be helpful. Best if you just go ahead and post your questions, I will read them and answer. One thing, I will be out of reach from 21st December untill mid-January. Secondly, I really appreciate if questioners state their level of physics education, so that I can adjust the form and language to best suit each one of them.

I hope to hear from you.

Cheers!
Daniel

Questions anyone (teenager, undergrad, graduate, professional) may ask on physics, mathematics or inorganic chemistry. Questions may concern subjects themselves or a possible future career in them, if you need advice on a school or hobby project, or you just came across a question that is beyond your current curriculum. I answer bare textbook problems sometimes, but I reserve the the right to redirect you to Physics-Physics section. The kind of questions I like to answer: I just started having science classes at school and they seem difficult, but I enjoy them. Where do I find more information on this, which is not in textbooks but still comprehensible to me? Just leaving high school, and I feel science is really the thing for me. Can you recommend a school and an undergrad program suitable to my inclinations? I am in my second undergraduate year in Physics. We learned the basics of universe expanding this year, the Hubble constant and all that, but invited speakers that gave talks on astrophysics in our department seemed not to agree with this model at all. Is it of any use at all? I am building a [materials research] experimental device for my masters/doctorate thesis and I have the following problem:... I have tried ..., but it still doesn't work. Where might the problem be?
