People say its immpossible. But a new thoery, the 'Slower than Stopped' theory, has been worked out fully.
The theory states that, since time slows down when you go faster, it should go faster when you go slower, and if we can go slowed than stopped, we will accelerate into the future. DGNT has already visited the past using specialy cloaked vehicles so as not to disturb anything. But the future remains innaccesable.

A man in a white lab coat entered the room, he quickly looked over a few mens shoulders, checked some dials, and pulled some levers. After checking and rechecking the Temporal Communications Device, he spoke into a microphone.
"Start the generator"
A whirring filled the room, shouts echoed through the bullet proof glass windows.
"Number five is a little high! More coolant!"
"Three is ok, but the shaft is still vibrating, no problems yet!"
He pressed a few more buttons, and spoke to the microphone again.
"All right, is the pilot ready?"
A buzz, then:
"I'm here sir, strapping in now"
"Right, try not to become a hero of the fatherland just yet"
Another switch.
"Allright, have the 'bots check the hull, I want to imperfections this time! The TV4 costs a damn fortune and I have to pay for it!"
Three mantis like machines sidled into the room, and began a centimeter by centimeter checkover of the vehicle, scanning everywhere.
A speaker clicked.
"W'e ha've de'tec'ted no eeee'mper'fec'tons s'ir"
"Very good, evacuate the chamber"
A red light flashed a few times and workers filled out of the space, leaving only a glistening white orb, suspended by five anti-gravity projectors.
"Numbers one to ten report"
"All clear sir, three is a little off, but its being fixed, ETR: thirty seconds."
"Right, begin pre-warp checks, pilot"
The sphere glowed briefly a few times, red, green, and blue, then it moved smoothly forward a few inches. Then back, then left, then right. Finnaly it returned to its original position.
"All checks completed, no problems."
"Begin the sequence."
The humming intensified. Slowly building, first a murmer, then a buzz, and finnaly it kicked up several notches and became a roar, all consuming, and numbing. The floor vibrated. Somewhere, a glass broke.
"Dammit! What did I say about bringing drinks in here!"
"Im sorry sir, please, dont-"
"The only reason I am not shooting you now is because it would get blood over some very expensive equipment! Get out of here NOW!"
"Y-yes sir, please, dont...Ill go."
The tech quickly walked out of the room.
"All right, sequence completed, ready for launch."
"Do it."
The sphere glowed again, then vanished.
"Pilot, can you hear me?"
A few more buttons and switches clicked
"Yes sir, I am currently decelerating"
"No odd feelings? No pain, numbness?"
"No sir, a little preassure, but thats supposed to happen, right?"
"yes, all systems are perfectly normal, you should come out ten minutes in the future"
"All right, I think I am starting to accelerate again, yes, the crono is starting to slow. Lesse...yes, were coming out n-" There was a wet sounding noise, then static.
"All life signs have gone to zero sir, structural integrity monitors are offline."
"Another one...I wonder why this keeps happening..."

So...anybody interested?
