# Damn' patents.
I came up with an idea over coffee yesterday, but we missed it by two years. Shame that, but at least it worked well enough for someone to patent it...
This keeps happening to me.

# I wouldn't trust the person you have coffee with.
He, she or it is obviously going back in time to patent your ideas.

# I hope they haven't patented my time machine already, then.
Bloody master's students...

# the problem with patenting a time machine
is that it becomes a war of attrition

each person travels further back in time to be the original inventor

until such point that I don't know where I'm going with this

# But wouldn't you just end up folding the fourth dimension through the fifth dimension and therefore come out in your own tangent reality?
Completely unaffecting everyone in your previous reality.

# I'd probably cheat
by creating a pocket universe and tricking the other patentees into going then closing the gateway to this mode of existence

then! I would be the ultimate time machine inventor!

of course, with all my enemies being such skilled scientists they may find a way out and come back to defeat me, however! my foolproof plan involves cloning the other time machine makers and using their intellect to find a way to defeat them!

HAH! A Plan with no flaws or logic!

# I've just gone on youtube to berate string theoriest now.
Damn them and their flighty unrealistic perception of alternate dimensions.
