> Umm... yes, you could. That's been my point all along.

I suggest you reread this thread and pay more
attention to what the people in it are saying
rather than the people themselves. Dave has
already made two points to show why this can't
be. (1) If it's possible to travel closer to
the "source" of these "time waves," then time
would dilate in the opposite manner that it does
in every real, actual observation about the universe
that's ever been made. It doesn't work. Fine for
a science fiction novel, but we're talking facts,
not what ifs. (2) With your theory, it is still
possible to pinpoint the source of the time waves
by moving in different directions, even if you
*don't* ever move toward the source and even if
you *do* stay within the bounds of the plane.
It's an elementary calculus problem. This is also
not supported by real, actual observations about
the universe. Time dilation does not work that
way. Direction of travel does not affect time
dilation. Speed does.

But if you so insist on making your theory work,
how about this? Consider that the universe is
populated by invisible "time wavers," approximately
one per basic unit of matter. Whenever a unit of
matter moves, a time waver follows it around,
shooting time at it with its subatomically-sized
raygun. The time wavers always stay directly
behind the particle's movement, and the time
beams always get fired out at the same rate -- so
the particle's rate of speed experiences a different
rate of time based on its own speed. Miraculously,
only the time beams coming out of a particle's
designated time waver ever hit it, and, for that
matter, time wavers have inescapably accurate aim.
