It always sounds like a good idea, but time machines never work out the way you want them to.
Oh, and don't bother trying to go back in time to kill Hitler. That never works.

Time Machine
It's an interactive adventure. Pick one of two endings to see what happens next. Try to keep everyone alive, now!

Science Fiction Music
Some songs and music videos have a definite Science Fiction theme to them. The obvious ones are from SF movies and TV shows. But there are other songs that will pop up from time to time.
Mr. Spaceman - The Byrds
From the sixties. Another way to take a trip: hitch a ride with a spaceman!
Come Sail Away - Styx
Styx had a similar idea in the Seventies.
Mr Roboto - Styx
In Science Fiction, it's always nice to have a few robots.
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots - The Flaming Lips
Of course, in Science Fiction, you end up having to fight those evil robots.
If you want to hear more from The Flaming Lips, go to: www.wbr.com
‘39 - Queen
I love this song. It deals with the time dilation between people on Earth and people on a space ship traveling close to the speed of light. Time on the spaceship would slow down compared to time on Earth.
The sad reunion of the spaceman and his wife, who is much older than him now.
Queen & George Michael perform the song at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert: www.dailymotion.com
Flash Gordon - Queen
Queen also sang the title song for the 1980 movie Flash Gordon.
Radio Ga-Ga - Queen
A third Queen song. This video has scenes from the 1927 film Metropolis. Some lost scenes to the film have been discovered, and are planned to be restored. It would be cool to see the movie in its entirety.
You Got Lucky - Tom Petty
Not a SF song, but a video about a future like the Mad Max movies.
She Blinded Me With Science - Thomas Dolby
Mad Scientist: another good SF theme.
Venus and Mars - Paul McCartney & Wings
Venus and Mars are alright tonight.
Paul McCartney & Wings - Venus and Mars / Spirits of Ancient Egypt Uploaded by oliwiajackie
Threshold - The Steve Miller Band
This song has always sounded a little creepy to me. A UFO is searching for you, its searchlights scanning the area. Will they catch you?

Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along
I won't do anything wrong
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride.
Come Sail Away - Styx
Styx had a similar idea in the Seventies.
I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies.

Don't you hear my call
Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
Write your letters in the sand
For the day I'll take your hand
In the land that our grand-children knew
The sad reunion of the spaceman and his wife, who is much older than him now.
Don't you hear my call
Though you're many years away
Don't you hear me calling you
All your letters in the sand
Cannot heal me like your hand
For my life, still ahead, pity me.

Primer
Primer (2004) is a 2004 independent film. It has no special effects, per se, but the plot does not require them. It's a Science Fiction movie about inventors discovering Time Travel, and what they do with it.
I found it a little hard to follow, so you might look it up on wikipedia to help understand it.

A Robot From the Past
Cute video. Beware of robots from the past.

Intentionally crappy. Hilariously funny. A robot from the past comes to warn about an event that happened yesterday, but it really just wants some cheesy rice.

Isaac Cady
Ashley Dryman
Song is "Salsa" by Yuri Buenaventura.

Levitation
The good news: a new way to levitate objects has been discovered. The bad news: it’s at the quantum level. Why do the quantum particles get to have all the fun? First, they get time travel. Now, levitation. It’s not fair!

Time Travel
I like the idea of time travel. Justin Kahn wrote a short piece entilted "How I Got Out of Writing an Essay on H.G. Well’s The Time Machine." It is quite funny. www.scq.ubc.ca
