This entry may very well be my last. If anything goes wrong tonight, let this serve as my final note and testament to the groundbreaking work I’ve embarked upon.
Today, I stand on the brink of a monumental breakthrough—time travel. The culmination of years of relentless research and experimentation has led me to this moment. By combining Einstein’s theory of relativity with my own innovation, the flux capacitor, I have discovered the general principle of temporal displacement.
The flux capacitor, the key to my invention, is designed as a triadic array of capacitors arranged in a Y-shape. This configuration disrupts the conventional flow of time, creating a localized time loop when charged with a sufficient energy source. The DeLorean DMC-12, with its stainless steel body, serves as the perfect vehicle to house this device and withstand the stresses of temporal travel.
However, the energy requirements to initiate time travel are astronomical. I determined that only a nuclear reaction could generate the 1.21 gigawatts of power needed to activate the flux capacitor. To achieve this, I need plutonium—a highly dangerous and restricted substance.
Tonight, I am meeting a group of Libyan terrorists to obtain the plutonium. This is a risky venture, fraught with uncertainty and peril. I will deceive them by agreeing to build them a bomb, but instead, providing a casing filled with used pinball machine parts. The plutonium, which they expect to be used for their bomb, will instead power the flux capacitor in the DeLorean time machine.
My plan is to hand over the fake bomb and quickly make my escape with the plutonium. I am aware of the danger involved in crossing these men, but it is the only way to secure the necessary power source for the time machine. If something goes wrong and I do not return, I want to leave a record of my work and intentions.
To those who find this note, understand that my pursuit of knowledge and discovery was driven by an unyielding desire to push the boundaries of science. The implications of time travel are profound, and I believed that understanding and controlling it could benefit humanity in ways we can scarcely imagine.
If I do not return, I implore you to continue my work with caution and respect for the immense power it holds. The flux capacitor, the DeLorean, my notes—everything is here in my lab, meticulously documented. Treat this discovery with the reverence it deserves.
This may be my final adventure. As I step into the unknown, I carry with me the hopes and dreams of a lifetime dedicated to the pursuit of knowledge. If I don’t come back, remember me not just as a scientist, but as a dreamer who dared to venture beyond the limits of time.
End of entry.
