Quote: "You mean travelling through your own life, or back to an earlier ancestor?"
I think he aims at traveling through human evolution.
Quote: "I mean physically being able to transport yourself through your time line. I guess this would cause a slight problem though, as the further back you go, the younger you would become, so you couldn't go back too far or you wouldn't be able to do much."
I don't think that would be possible at all but what I concider possible is recreating our evolution by isolating older parts of our genestrings. This would be vague as a lot of information is most likely replaced or has been dropped but some should still remain.
You should really elaborate on what you mean. As far as I understand: Building some machina that reads your past from your genes and allows you to travel back through your own life?
No, that information is as far as my knowledge goes not stored on your genes. However, its all in your brain, your subconciousness...that would be the right point to start for such an endeavour.

I personally started researching on this a bit as I once took a walk with my father in the woods and heart a distant gunshot. I had this wierd feeling in my guts and I shivered a second...why? No gun has ever been fired on me. Why do I feel uncomfortable whenever the police is near me...I've never been in trouble. Why these outbursts of bad feelings whenever I hear sirenes?
Collective conciousness? Stored in our genes from our ancestors?
Wait, I think I'm getting offtopic.
