Its DISCOOOO!!!!! time! Although really, its always DISCOOOO!!!!! time for a guy named Dancing Jim! You consider your wardrobe and are currently wearing your most 70's-est outfit: a bright purple button-up shirt (with the top two button left undone, obviously) and some black bell-bottom pants. You suppose you might be able to do better, but how?
You abandon your attempt to DISCOOOO!!!!! back to your house and/or work and instead DISCOOOO!!!!! towards the nearest college, which is fortunately much closer. You arrive at the State University of Right Here around noon and DISCOOOO!!!!! through the hustle and bustle of students going to and from classes. They applaud your incredible DISCOOOO!!!!! moves!
You DISCOOOO!!!!! into the science building and ask the first professor-looking guy you see about time travel. He tells you he is a geology professor, and doesn't think that really falls under his field. He kindly refers you to the physics department.
Time to DISCOOOO!!!!! on over to the physics dudes and see what they've got. For whatever reason, the secretary takes you seriously! She sends you over to meet a certain Professor Brown. The two of you discuss your theories on time travel... well, he discusses his theories, anyway. Most of it is stratospherically over your head. You do manage to learn a bit though and understand that the main reason Brown hasn't attempted to build a prototype yet is that he has found it impossible to get funding.
