Go back to 2002

In his seminal book A Brief History of Time, Eddie Redmayne Stephen Hawking suggests that time travel is plausible by using the uncertainty principle. As a particle may move forward in spacetime, its complementary antiparticle will move backward, allowing it to move backward in time relative to the way we perceive it.

So maybe Raiders fans can go back and see Charlie Garner again.

Turning back the clock to the last time the Raiders were in the playoffs is a surefire way to see the Raiders in the playoffs. Behind MVP quarterback Rich Gannon and a rejuvenated pair of Hall of Fame receivers in Jerry Rice and Tim Brown, the Raiders entered Super Bowl XXXVII as the favorites against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The ending of that game is irrelevant. No need to look it up.
