While I don't know all of the details, my Wife's Uncle who is a retired professor has a patent that supposedly makes time travel at least theoretically possible (as he self describes it).

The method is described but to my knowledge has not been built...

His Father (my Wife's Grandfather) was a patent attorney and as a "retirement" project completed the project.

Theoretical consequences of the gravitational origin of inertial reaction forces, that is, Mach's principle, are explored. It is argued that Mach's principle leads to the conclusion that time, as we normally treat it in our common experience and physical theory, is not a part of fundamental reality; the past and future have a real, objective existence, as is already suggested by both special and general relativity theory. A laboratory scale experiment whereby Mach's principle, and thus radical timeless ness, can be established is mentioned.

I don't claim to understand it but it makes interesting cocktail conversation...
