The Time Machine
(2 votes, average: 3 out of 5)
Loading ...Theoretically, selling time machine rides by the hour would be a terrible way to do business. If you can go anywhere, and then return to the nanosecond after you left, why would you need to book an entire hour? Also, would you say anywhere or anywhen? To when do you want to go? That sounds kinda weird.
We need these questions answered before the time travel industry really gets started. Wait…couldn’t it already have started? Shouldn’t there be droves of time tourists popping into random places in history already? What are they waiting for? Heloooooo future people! (echo(echo(echo))).

Clearly either the future people who’ve come back are all in alternate futures that we aren’t a part of, or we need to build a time machine first, to hold open the time-hole from this end.
If it’s the second, we’ll know we’re on to something when billions of people start streaming out of our best prototype, to do the tourist thing all over the origins of time travel.

If you were a time-traveller, would you really want to go back to now? I’d much rather go either into the distant future and get a big pile of crazy future stuff, or go far into the past and scare them with my evil magicks. We’re all to accepting these days, you couldn’t shock us or steal from us.
