Time Travel: This Day In History

November 5th is a day that will live in infamy. Not because of the election ofour first African-American President but for the birth of time travel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was on this day, November 5, 1955 that Dr. Emit Brown was hanging a picture above his toilet in his Hill Valley, CA home when he slipped and hit his head. Dr. Brown was knocked unsconscious. When he woke up he had the vision of the Flux Capacitor, which is what makes time travel possible.

                                                                                It wasn't until 1985 when the prototype was developed and tested. It was at the Twin Pines Mall in Hill Valley where Dr. Brown's dog, Einstein, was the first living participant of time travel. The Lybian terrorists almost sabotaged the experiment but thankfully Marty McFly was able to save the day and became the first human being to time travel.

                                                                                Today, on the 53rd anniversary of the invention of time travel I would like to recognize those pioneers who made it possible for all. Dr. Brown, Mr. McFly and Einstein the dog. We no longer need to use dangerous fuels like plutonium. We are now using greener fuels thanks to the development of Mr. Fusion. Even more green fuels are to come. President elect Obama supports clean fuel sources and time travel looks to be bright, clean, and safe for all.

                                                                                A little humor and faux-history to cheer everyone up. It's been a tough election and frustrating ride for the past 24 months. Let's kick back and enjoy the ride...BACK TO THE FUTURE!
