  • Tommy White from Oskaloosa IowaThe 502 code for time ops traveling with a compact partial accelerator machine which creates the ability to travel at or faster than the speed of light? And a 502 is enforced because the fabric of reality in high traffic volume areas can sometimes fuse matter together and create paradox after paradox the uncertainty of it is why it's enforced.. my question is what if you put the machine in the backseat would that put one outside of the bubble of time?
