Time travel is anything but one-dimensional. As advanced in technology as the Corteum and Greys are, they have yet to produce the equiva- lent of BST. They are able to time-travel in its elemental form, but they can't interact with the time that they travel to.

The Labyrinth Group has conducted seven time-travel experi- ments over the past 30 years. One clear outcome from these tests is that the person performing the time travel is an integral variable to the technology used to time-travel.
