That’s actually one of the most compelling arguments that time travel is impossible. If we were ever going to have time machines, we’d have had them for thousands of years already.
Just maybe it did work and after what you did in the future the future you came back to sabotage your machine. A little preventative time travel. Cheers
If there will ever be a time machine allowing backward travel, surely someone would have come back to the time travelers’ party hosted by Stephen Hawking in 2009. Nobody came.
Well, anybody who knows anything about science fiction knows if you travel in time and meet yourself, it causes a serious disruption in the space time continuum.
If time machines actually worked, they’d take you back to a point in space that the Earth had yet to arrive at. Bad news for anyone who might be fond of oxygen.

At least you could have sent the instructions back.

That’s a really tachyon-looking piece of equipment. Not the “Cadillac” of tesseracts.

But would you really? Of all the places you could go, that’s where you’d choose?

With you two, I’d think you’d come back from the future to prevent you from making it work.

Go back and watch yourselves begin the build. You’ll see the mistakes from an objective viewpoint.

I was thinking… if Benjamin Franklin had a flux capactor AND was running at 88 mph when the lightning struck the key, he could be anytime.

Time travel paradoxes. You CAN TRAVEL FORWARD and you CAN LOOK BACKWARD, but you CAN’T TRAVEL BACKWARD and you CAN’T LOOK FORWARD.
