The Terminator film is a classic example. Answer to the problem of the machines in the future: DON'T SEND ANYBODY BACK IN TIME. It was sending somebody back that started the whole mad affair in the first place.
It does give you a headache …  |
A old film was about a team of scientists who did go back in time, and were on the point of returning to the "present." The story was based on them having to accurately time their entering the time warp so that they came out at exactly the right moment. If they got their sums wrong, they had to return to the past, and try again. However, when they were back in the past, I think they kept making the same miscalculation.
Does anyone remember this story line, or the film?
