Time Machines

The Everett Time Travel Method

Everett’s initial experiments resulted in a plethora of objects appearing to disappear due to being hyper-compressed into virtual nothingness.  In order to prevent this frightening fate, the time vehicle must move at a certain speed to in essence create its own momentum of time.  In the process, the vehicle is acting like a surfboard riding a temporal compression wave into either the past or the future.  The minimum speed required to safely ride the time wave is 88.8729 mph. While riding the wave the temporal vehicle travels to any time in mere seconds. Through extensive experimentation, Black created the temporal control panel, or time circuits, which regulates the Chronon Radiation distribution. This in turn dictates what time one will travel to down to the exact second!

Time Machine Power Source

The time van’s internal combustion engine was originally powered by run-of-the-mill gasoline. The Flux Capacitor was nuclear-powered by a previously unknown stable form of Thorium isotope. Dr. Black invented the Thorium refining process and was set to release his revelation that our society could have virtually free energy via mining, and refining of Thorium. Unfortunately, certain Powers That Be suppressed his findings by buying him out and mothballing all his data.  He also had to sign a confidentiality agreement that stated he could never speak of his special Thorium isotope ever again.  He was initially angered that they lied to him about developing his technology to better society.  Naturally, the large sum of money he received eventually made his time travel theory a reality.

Time Machine Modifications

Due to his explorations of the future, the internal combustion engine was eventually replaced with an electric-based engine that ran off an amazing battery from the 33rd century.  This battery had enough energy to power his electric engine, onboard equipment, and the Flux Capacitor for approximately 25 years of constant use.  The battery itself was only as big as four standard car batteries yet virtually light as a feather. He always had two spares in his van just in case something went wrong.  The batteries were also capable of being recharged by a wireless energy source from the 30th century, and beyond. His records indicate he never had any need to recharge nor use his spare batteries.

The Time Travel Adventure Begins

Travel into the future is the natural state of the Flux Capacitor just as it is our natural state to travel into the future one day at a time. Dr. Black only acquired the ability to travel back to the past once he studied future technology. Had he not then he would have been trapped in the future.  Especially since it’s reported time travel technology is tightly controlled the further in the future one goes.  On a side note, he did indeed have a hover conversion on his van while in the future. Although it was in the year 2115 rather than 2015. Back To The Future Part II used the year 2015 on so viewers could relate to a year they’d probably live to see.  Later on, the van became capable of traveling into outer space after he made alterations in 2391.

Time Travel To The Past

Dr. Black was able to achieve travel to the past by reversing the Chronon Radiation frequency via a device that fitted onto the Flux Capacitor called the Sub-Capacitor-P.  Out of sheer curiosity, he had ended up over 4000 years into the future before returning to his present time in October 1979.  After a brief break, he began exploring the past in November 1979 careful to avoid his past self or anyone he knew so as not to jeopardize the invention of his time machine, to begin with.  Everett Black witnessed all the great wars of history, the birth of the United States, the rise, and fall of all manner of empires along with unraveling a great many secrets hidden in history.  He studied the evolution of animals and saw the gradual birth of humankind. Everett marveled at the gargantuan dinosaurs and even flew his time van back to a point when the Earth was nothing but a barren rock of violent volcanic activity.  At that point, he got scared, and headed back home!

The Real-Life Inspiration For Marty McFly

He recorded some miscellaneous data for a few months while running maintenance on the time van. A local teen named Matt McDonald witnessed one of his time jumps and demanded to be let into Dr. Black’s time-traveling adventures.  Black, a self-professed recluse, refused until one night McDonald stole the time van. Matt traveled to the past where he met his parents.  Foolishly he caused the deletion of himself from existence, and the time van reappeared in Everett’s garage as if it never left.  Dr. Black had no clue what happened as McDonald was reported missing and later presumed dead.  Something only discovered later on by seasoned temporal investigations officers.  Due to a variety of other paradoxes to be caused by Dr. Black, McDonald’s extermination from time had to remain as is to restore more important events. Matt was clearly the basis for Back To The Future’s Marty McFly. RIP Matt McDonald…the boy who never existed….yet did!?!

The Capture Of The Temporal Criminal Dr. Everett Black

Black resumed his temporal journey’s in February of 1980. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to Everett, his logical scientific mind had been gradually suffering from a mental illness caused by the Chronon Radiation. It gave him delusions of grandeur, and feelings of God-like power.  He stopped observing time and started tinkering with it to improve history along with entertaining himself.  Normally this would be fine because all it would do is send the time traveler to a Parallel Universe. All our existences involve movement into near-identical parallel realities.  Regrettably, his unique form of time travel kept him in this Universe thereby creating paradoxes.  Paradoxes that got the attention of a variety of future time cops, and temporal enforcement authorities.  Future history reports Dr. Everett Black as one of the most prolific time-traveling criminals of all time. He was at number one on many cultures Temporal Most Wanted Lists!

Dr. Black Brought To Time Justice!

Everett created a tangled ball of paradoxes known as the Pandora Paradoxes named after the chaos of the fabled Pandora’s Box.  Black eluded temporal authorities from as far as 7000 years into the future courtesy of his unique form of time travel that made him hard to pinpoint at any given moment.  He was eventually captured in the US Old West in 1887 where he had fallen in love for the first time with a school teacher whose life he had saved.  She originally died when attacked by a gang of outlaws. Outlaw gunfighters who didn’t stand a chance against a high-powered 23rd-century laser rifle.  Due to spending too much time in 1887 time cops were able to finally locate him. This is where the idea for Back To The Future Part III came from.
