“Captain, a word.” Hlam said quickly and quietly. I followed him back to the war room and I sat down at the head of the table. “Captain, I’m growing concerned that we can’t return to our own time.”
“But the thingy… you said time travel.” I said frantically. I leaned in towards Hlam and said, “is it only capable of backing up.” Aurora moaned. “I just asked that!”
“That’s not what I mean. I mean that we can travel backwards and forwards but not to our own time. It’s a slight deviation on the butterfly effect.” Hlam said excited.
“So we can travel backwards and forwards but not backwards and forwards?” I asked.
“Yes… and no…” Hlam said. “Right now your brain is Einsteins cat.”
“Einsteins cat?… Oh, you mean Schrödinger’s cat?” I asked.
“Again, yes and no. Einsteins cat was similar to Schrödinger’s cat but with explosives instead of acid. Makes it more fun.” Hlam pulled out a piece of paper and a pencil. “So when we travel back in time we are entering a different dimension.”
“Because time is a dimension of space.” I said proud of my basic physics knowledge.
“No you buffoon. Because when we travel back in time we are where we weren’t before. Because we didn’t exist back in pirate times and…” Hlam said being interrupted by my laughs.
“Pirate times sounds like a horrid publication for news. Or are you talking about the golden age of piracy?” I snorted.
“Shut up, you may learn something.” Hlam said annoyed. “Because we were never in the 1700’s, we can’t therefore be in the 1700’s. But since we are we must be creating the standard time paradox. However that paradox is solved by my time travel device being a time and dimension device. So we can never return to our time and dimension.” Hlam said.
“So this new dimension… will it rain doughnuts?” I asked.
“No you idiot, it’s just like ours but it’s possible that Spain rules the world.” Hlam said.
