Ah, but this time machine only goes backwards in time.
I got a feeling this could be exactly the point in time we’ve been looking for.
We’re going to test it by going backwards in time one minute.
No, without a backwards time machine we’re stuck in this craphole. Hold on! I got it. We can’t go back in time, but we can keep going forward until people invent the backwards time machine.
-Have you invented a backwards time machine?
-No, but if we apply our superior minds, we can perfect such a device.
We took care of the time travel paradox.
