my future self will be back any time now with one to take me forward. I'll hook you up with the schematics when I get them.
sm70- why not Duesenberg?

Well you're in luck! Because it will only take me 7 weeks and maybe a couple extra days to finish the time machine.

Take me with you please, or at least drop me off in the middle of September.

Going to the future is easy, just go faster. The faster you move, time slows in your reference frame (everything else stays normal). Unfortunately, for any significant change you have to get pretty close to the speed of light (640,000,000 mph).
If you travel faster than the speed of light you will break natural laws (if they catch you in Virginia they throw you in jail), the equations indicate that you will also travel backwards in time.
You can also get close to extremely massive objects, they also slow time and send you into the future.

Where can I buy an Alcubierre Drive, then?

The good news is that new discoveries lowered the energy needed for the Warp Drive, it originally was more energy than existed in the whole Universe but the new math indicated that it would take slightly less than all the energy in the universe.

I remember reading that the Alcubierre drive needed the energy equivalent of Jupiter to circle the earth once.
Glad to see maybe I'll only need, say, Saturn to do so.

9 billion gigajoules, or the energy in one metric ton of antimatter. Problem is that there are indications that when you stop you release a shockwave (like a sonic boom but made from gravitational waves instead of sound waves) that would destroy anything you where trying to get to.
