Cheap Time travel
"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark Twain -
Walk to the loo to take a leak while the other half watches TV, and return to the sofa in her future. Probably a lot less than a few nano seconds. -

You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Altitude has nothing to do with the rate of which time comes to pass but you're proximity to mass does.
Were you to travel to the moon, how close could you get to the surface before the effects of time dilation begin to reverse as the distance between you and the earth grew?

I would like to say there's no such thing as 'now'.
It's quite difficult to remove this idea from your head once it's made a home. But as others have pointed out my 'now' will be moving at a different rate from your 'now'. There's no such thing as a universal 'now'.
Holding onto that thought, everybody's personal 'now', it's become possible that I could see into your past.
More worryingly it suggests that free will is an illusion. Regardless of how our 'nows' are played out our destination is the same.
