If a Time Machine were built, i believe it could only go in the past to the point in time when it was built, and no further. In other words, you build a time machine in 2004. You can wait until 2008, and travel back to 2004, but cannot go further back. You would already know what point in space you are attempting to travel too.
Forwards in time becomes complex, space and time are intermingled. Time is how we measure the rate at which the earth is flying through space inside the solar system, which is inside the galaxy, which is inside the known Universe. I wonder if time and spatial coordinates would need to be given...if you wanted to go forward 6 hours you would need not only the time, but the actual point in relative space that you would be, at that point in time....interesting

Naw Shots,
Historically land has averaged 3% a year since the beginning of this country. You could use that figure.

There must be 20 pages of links (my guess: you don't do too much research before you start accusing people of things. That don't look good on you.)

Not only will you have been dead 10,000 years by the time they have tried everything possible, but the founders of this adventure( that is what this is.) will have been dust 10,000 years also.

It will be turned into an irrevocable trust. This will ensure that you have entitlement , but your descendants can't make a claim on the trust's assets in your name. At least, that's how I understand it. This keeps your descendants from changing your desires after your death. The founders are also depending on this working so they can enjoy everlasting health and physical renewal in the distant future. If it fails, they are also out their own $10 and all their efforts to further their goals for them and you. The effort part does not come out of your hide. Even if this does not work, even if the world ends, or the human race ends, it would be nice to think that somewhere some group will be thinking of my benefit till the last second.
