"When this experiment is done, something interesting happens: every single time the time travel works, the gun fails to go off. And when time travel fails, the gun works. To put this in the language of the grandfather paradox, as long as there is some chance of your gun misfiring and the assassination failing, time travel may work."

Douglas Coupland has a lovely slideshow explaining 2010 to someone from 1935 in the form of a sequence of Penguin paperback covers.

Your result for The Time Travel Test...

The Prototype

29% Practicality, 57% Mutability, 0% NaziLoving Wuss, 85% Woowoo?

Your time machine is the Prototype.



You don't know how it works. You barely even think you know what it does. You haven't the faintest clue how to operate it. But you're going to have fun finding out! For you, time travel is all about experimentation. Paradoxes aren't dangers to watch out for: they're challenges! And you're up to that challenge. So what if you wipe out a few universes on your quest for knowledge? You can't make a time-omelet without breaking a few time-eggs!
