Why not have a space ship powered by prayer or something?
Okay, now you got my muse excited about that idea.

If she stayed young, however, for a hundred years, she would need to use some kind of magic, I suppose.
Dr. Who is full of paradoxes and inconsistencies. It's best to just forget about them and enjoy the show. There were only a few things that outright bugged me, like WWII-planes flying around space as though it had an atmosphere, or River Song being cast out unprotected into open space and staying alive long enough to be saved.
Hi Penpilot, so are you saying that she could time travel forward 50 years and live for another 50 years in the future but wouldn't age as the time is flowing around her? In which case, she would have to return to her own time as a 16 year old before starting the normal ageing process?
Yeah that's pretty much it. Gobbly-Gooking this, imagine a long sheet of paper. In that sheet of paper there's a cookie cutter shape cut out of it. The cut out can slide around on that paper, interacting with its surface but it isn't part of that paper any longer. Now apply this to 3 dimensions where instead of a paper it's time and instead of a cut out it's a person.
Queshire has my intention correctly identified. If you revert to a child when going back in time, you would either have to wipe out the chronology you had followed and write a new singular one coming forward again, or after the rewind, create a separate time line for the new you that would run along side those that exist.I think what Cup was saying is that you could live your life until you're an old man then travel back to earlier in your life so you de-age so you'd have the original you and the older you who traveled backwards and was de-aged living in the same time frame.
This is a fairly awesome analogy.
Wow! Penpilot this is a brilliant analogy!
