about breeding pine trees." -Doc talking to Marty Trapped in 1955 I can remember when this was all open land as far as the eye can see. From there he left the cockpit of the DeLorean and reminisced about the past, particularly about Old Man Peabody owning the land that is now Twin Pines Mall and his pine tree farm. While inputting dates on the keypad, Doc used J(the date the American declaration of Independence was signed) and Decem(the date of the birth of Christ) as examples, before inputting "a red-letter date in the history of science, November 5, 1955". This one tells you where you were." -Doc Brown This read-out tells you where you're going. Doc then showed Marty the interior and its controls. Inside the car, Einstein was unharmed, much to the surprise of Marty. Super-cooled from traveling through time, the gullwing door was troublesome for Doc to open while using his hands. The car suddenly appeared where Doc and Marty were standing and screeched to a halt as a frozen shell.
But Doc didn't fully explain why because the watch he was wearing at the time beeped, warning him that the DeLorean's return was only seconds away. Doc explained that it needed some style and implied that the stainless steel construction of the car helped it in temporal displacement.
In the meantime, Marty asked why a DeLorean was used. and zero seconds we will catch up to him and the time machine." - Doc and Marty after the time travel experiment.įor Einstein, the trip was instantaneous, but to Marty and Doc they had to wait exactly one minute to catch up to Einstein in the timeline. I sent him into the future! One minute into the future to be precise. The molecular structure of both Einstein and the car are completely intact!" Marty: " Well, where the hell are they?!" Doc: " The appropriate question is "When the hell are they?" You see, Einstein has just become the world's first time traveler. You disintegrated Einstein!" Doc: " Calm down, Marty, I didn't disintegrate anything. Fire trails then scorched the pavement where the vehicle would have passed through, completing the temporal displacement sequence. Suddenly the car seemed to explode just before it hit Doc and Marty. The coils lit up, internal circuits glowed, and the flux capacitor fired rapidly. A faint glow developed at the front of the car and then engulfed the vehicle. while braked, he released the brake sending the car towards Doc and Marty. The sequence of events that followed were as so after Doc revved up the engine to 65 MPH. Main article: World's first temporal displacementĭoc and Marty stand in the fire trails left behind by the DeLorean on the first test.ĭoc Brown revealed his creation to his friend Marty McFly at Twin Pines Mall, in the early morning of October 26, 1985, and for its first test, Doc sent his dog Einstein one minute into the future. The capacitor was constructed afterward and completed in 1985. When Doc came to, he had a vision of the flux capacitor in his head, and drew a crude schematic diagram as well as scrawling some hurried calculations. But the porcelain was wet, making Doc slip, fall and hit his head on the sink.
On November 5, 1955, Doc was standing on the edge of his toilet, while hanging a clock in his bathroom. Emmett Brown's most successful invention, a plutonium-powered time machine comprised of a DeLorean DMC-12 sports car that had to reach 88 miles per hour in order to time travel. out of a DeLorean?" Doc: " The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style? Besides, the stainless steel construction makes the flux dispersal - look out!!!" - Doc and Marty during initial testing Are you telling me you built a time machine. Destroyed by a diesel locomotive, October 27, 1985.Īctive (temporal duplicate, non-canon).
