Of course the mass would increase as you approach relativistic
velocities.

Actually I was going to suggest you could add the fourth dimension by
first putting the case through a large Klein Bottle. The primordial
primate rendering and in fact the whole movie was actually a 2
dimensional representation.

BTW is your Time Machine one dimensional or multidimensional.
