Tippler Method
The Tippler Method is a theoretical way of travelling through time using the gravitational effect of neutron stars on the time-space continuum. Time Travel using the Tippler Method
Get a bunch of neutron stars, which create immense gravitational fields, and fashion them into a cylinder about 100 kilometres long and with a 10 kilometre radius. Then spin the cylinder about 2,000 times per second. The surface should be moving at about half the speed of light by now. According to Tippler's theory, it should cause a frame-dragging effect, with enough force to mix up space and time. Now fly your 'spaceship' in a specific orbit around the giant cylinder. This should, in theory, take you back in time, but only until when the machine first started spinning (since that was when the space-time continuum was first warped). As you can imagine, this requires some practically impossible engineering, but there are no theoretical reasons why it wouldn't work.
