Time Machines - A Theory

1 Conversation

It's a theory (of mine) that time machines do not have to be invented at the present time. All we we have to do is wait for one to arrive from the future. The problem is that we would have to keep it secret from the people who invented it or they wouldn't bother to invent it in the first place. I suppose we could take it to some scientists and pretend that it's broken and could they fix it please. They would say, "What is this mysterious machine?" We could say something like, "Don't know. We found it." Then they would discover that it was a time machine and send it back to the past for us. If we didn't do something like this, these particular scientists in the future wouldn't bother with time machines as they would already exist. So who would have invented them? Nobody. So then they wouldn't exist. Ooer!
