I know for a fact that time travel is not possible. If it was, I would’ve come back and told myself how to make the machine – and the Lotto numbers to pay for it.
Ooookay. As far as I’m concerned, if you can’t at least have your stuff hang together logically (logically connecting to reality optional) then you’re doing fine.
You wouldn’t need a time machine if you could jump to alternate histories. Every history that could exist including the one you would want to change to exists in an alternate reality.
Caulfield couldn’t answer the question so he did a fast lateral shuffle and suggested Mrs. Olsen just didn’t get the point. Typical response from the ‘always’ right type who isn’t.
If you had a time machine, you could write down the lottery winning tickets, go back and buy the winning ticket and not worry about less effective ways of making money.
If a time machine was ever going to be invented at any point throughout all of human history, we’d have it already.
p.s. Ever thought about what an awkward phrase “Time Machine” is? H.G. Wells in invented the concept and came up with the name — we’ve used it ever since.

Can the rose profits pay for the time machine energy expenses? The roses are two days droopier and not at premium condition. Lose-Lose situation.

If you had a time machine, you could go to 1986 and buy Microsoft stock. Roses?

She’s just trying to sneak in a math lesson. She’s a good teacher.

I’m thinking of all those people discussing the physics of Star Trek, Star Wars, and so on.

If it wasn’t meant to be logical what was it supposed to be? Just nonsense for nonsense sake?

The trouble is: if you had a time machine, then everybody could get one. Imagine the chaos!

Caulfield does have a time machine. Every year he enters it and repeats third grade.
