Answer 1:  A time warp is general a reference to a disruption
in the time continuum. Usually this allows for
temporal travelling. It has to my knowledge never
been attempted. This does not mean it cannot occur.
It may simply mean that those who attempt it have
yet to find their way back to this epoch. Time is
a tricky business. There are no landmarks as one
might find in the 3 dimensional space we occupy.

much of Star Trek......beam me up scottie!
