The first annual Time Traveler Convention is scheduled for Saturday, May 7th at MIT's East Campus Courtyard.

Organizer Amal Dorai - graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science - aims to test the theory of time travel by inviting time travelers to the event. Scientists have not figured out the practical specifics of time travel - they also haven't ruled it out as a possibility.

"We are doing this as a very low-risk, low-cost way to investigate the possibility of time travel," said Dorai. "Of course the odds are against us, but imagine the scientific discovery we would have on our hands if a time traveler shows up. Of course, no time travelers doesn't rule out the possibility of time travel; they could have just decided not to come to our convention."

The gathering will be held at MIT's East Campus Courtyard. Dorai gave the specific coordinates for anyone needing to plug them into some futuristic machine: 42:21:36.025
