Building a time portal should be fairly easy: all you have to do is to go back in time and give yourself the blueprints that were given to you earlier by your future self and...

Time Portal
Not with UH wormhole tech. There must be a working portal generator before anybody can use it.
If it's unanchored, though, all bets are off.

I couldn't help but be reminded of a few lines from one of the Star Trek movies re the construction of transparent aluminim, I'll be damned if I can remember who said what though. In short one character asks the other if they should have given people from the past the formula for the stuff, to which the first replies that they woiuld have discovered it in a few months from then anyways, paradox and all folks.
Micro_fur - Maybe I'll just stay a spectator for this round.

If the quest for answers only leads to more questions, did you ask the right question to begin with?

Bones: "You realize that if we give him this formula, we're altering the future?"
Scotty: "Why? How do we know he didn't invent the thing?"
In a novelization I read, it turned out the guy DID invent transparent aluminum; they were just giving it to him a few years earlier than he'd have discovered it on his own. Also, I read once that a scene that was cut from the movie had one of Spock's test questions asking the name of the inventor of transparent aluminum...which was of course the same dude who later/earlier gave them a bigass sheet of Plexiglas in exchange for the formula.
