If you've read this thread, you should be familiar with a theory under which there is only one.

Although I don't have time now to read that thread to completion, (I will later, promise;) it seems to me to be a sort of self-nullifying prophecy. And this is why:
H.G. would have to travel not only to every when to know all attempts at time travel, but to every where within every when. Now, given an infinite amount of time, this would pose no issue. But, H.G, being a man, still ages while he exists! So while his capacity for time is limitless, his own time is not. And where the machine has been done, it can be redone.

Plus, when Ben Affleck did it, all he was capable of doing was keeping himself from getting shot. You'd think he would at least leave himself a note about Reindeer Games.

Fair warning: It degenerates into spam after about page three.

This is incorrect. He would only have to travel to the right spacetime positions. He could then tell his subjective-past self what those right positions are, thus eliminating the need to go "looking" for time travel attempts.

This is addressed in the thread. In short: if it is possible to make a man immortal, H.G. will be immortal.

Not if H.G. has anything to say about it.

Taking a SF movie at face value about time travel is like taking a Wile E. Coyote short as a nature documentary.

I don't think the universe is expanding, I think we're all just getting smaller. From my understanding, there isn't anything we're aware of outside of the universe for it to be growing in relation to.

I'm not sold on the plaid just yet.

An engineer, a physicist, and a mathematician are trying to set up a fenced-in area for some sheep, but they have a limited amount of building material. The engineer gets up first and makes a square fence with the material, reasoning that it's a pretty good working solution. "No no," says the physicist, "there's a better way." He takes the fence and makes a circular pen, showing how it encompasses the maximum possible space with the given material.

Then the mathematician speaks up: "No, no, there's an even better way." To the others' amusement he proceeds to construct a little tiny fence around himself, then declares:

"I define myself to be on the outside." ::)

And than the theoretical physicist walks in and begins to explain how the pen has an infinite area due to parallel dimensions.
