See the future for only ten bucks
Compound interest is an interesting thing. Given enough time, even a couple pennies can turn into billions of dollars with the right rate. Great riches aren’t merely a possibility, but a certainty. Also falling under such a description is time travel. No longer the darling of science fiction but a proven eventuality (at least if you believe Einstein, Sagan and Kaku) given the right technologies.
It was really only a matter of time before somebody put the two together. The Time Travel Fund has been established as a non-profit corporation, asking only $10 to join. That ten dollars ensures somebody that when he or she dies, moments before natural death, he or she will be retrieved by time travelers and brought back to the distant future to begin life anew. Compound interest makes it possible, because, though it is agreed that two-way time travel is possible, it is not a feasible technology with the resources currently or even soon at humanity’s disposal. Once time travel enters the equation, the wait doesn’t really matter, after all.
