Default I want to go back

...to 2009.

I'm afraid of 2010.

EVERYONE STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND STOP GOING FORWARD IN TIME!...THEY'RE COMING FOR YOU AAAAAAARGHH!!!!

...well, some in the know are already saying 2011 is set to be the new 2010.

There was a guy on Quirks and Quarks last weekend who described himself as an "independent british physicist". According to him, the simplest way of reconciling quantum physics with general relativity is to assume that the Universe is static, and therefore that "time" is a consequence of perception (a bit like colour is), rather than of physics.

Completely over my head, as usual: perhaps he's "independent" because no-one will give him a job. OTOH he might be a genius and your problem is solved.

I missed that one - will have to podcast it. In similar vein there was a TVO thing a month or so back called something like "The Quantum Tamers" that I PVR'd and finally got round to watching the other night while "on duty" with baby Oakvillian. All sorts of ways to try and get a lay audience's head round the problems reconciling quantum mechanics and general relativity, including a bizarre animation of Schroedinger's gedankenexperiment, and Star-Trek-inspired stuff on quantum entanglement and its importance in teleportation. It didn't touch on time travel, unfortunately for the OP, but if time is all just perception it would presumably allow one to be simultaneously in 2009 and 2010.
