Turning a Hot Tub into a Time Machine

Last weekend, I watched the comedy Hot Tub Time Machine (starring John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson and Clark Duke). In a nutshell, I thought it was pretty good.

But me being me, I wondered what it would take to actually turn a hot tub into a time machine. So when I got home, I did some calculations (no, I don't have a social life) and worked out how much power a hot tub would need to become a time machine.

Warning: You can leave your physics at the door; the following text is the product of pure science fiction, basic math and an over-active imagination.

1. I thought a hot tub was a time machine in and of itself.

I thought only 70's and 80's throwbacks had hot tubs. Who the hell wants to stew in a pool of their and others' sweat, oils, and dead skin? You really trust the filter and the chlorine dose?

2. Hot tubs are really really good for sore and aching muscles

Most atheletes use them on a regular basis.
