Unbreakable Goals: First Time Machine

The perfect example of going against the flow when achieving your direst goals.

I'm sure you've heard someone say this phrase before, or even said it yourself a few times: "What will others think?" or "I don't want people to think that I'm crazy". In my book I say that without a goal in life, a person is like a ship that is lost in the sea. Now, what happens if your direst goal is something that the majority of people would consider to be "impossible" and would consider you to be crazy if you pursued it?
I think it's sad that the majority (the total being the number of people with whom I interacted) wishes to be akin to the rest of the mass, and anything extraordinary is out of the question. You follow the rest and once in a while “they” find something new and cool, and just like the rest you must get it or you lose out...
Now, what if I told you that I am making a time machine?! My guess is: after taking it as a joke you'd laugh for a bit... right until you would see me contemplating constructing such a machinery, after which you'd consider me insane. This guess would work for many people.
What if your name would be Ronald Mallett and you would say that you're going to build world's first time machine? How many people would laugh at you? How many people would call you insane? How many people would call you a fraud?
I only wish that everyone's power of goal achievement was as strong as Ronald's, for Ronald had actually reached his goal! While I am not aware whether or not his world's first time machine has been built yet, I know that intention is there and I know that his theory checks out rather well.
Time travel overflows science fiction materials, and here we see a person garnishing this fiction into reality. Is your goal just as absurd, just as “impossible”, just as insane, just as laughable? For the majority, I'd doubt that.
What prevents us from achieving our goals? In my opinion, it's us ourselves. We often look onto others who have no research data, no belief, no desire, and say “heck, they all say this is impossible; it must be true, and I must give up on this silly idea”. If such logic would be embedded into each human being, we would never see progress, we would never see achievement, we would never advance.
It is common a belief that “they” know better and that “they” dictate what we must eat, drink, think, and possess. But who are the well known “they”? I think it's us! I think it's the people who are not afraid to be judged and who stand up against the flow and claim that they can do what is currently thought to be absurd and impossible...
What is your “impossible” goal?

Well, Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts that it is possible :)
But that's not the main point. The only way to find if something is impossible is try to go beyond it. -

if he actually could biult the time machine he must be a ganies,but how do we know that it is even possibly to build a time machine?
