I'd argue it's probably harder than either of us make it sound, considering Doc is the only person on Earth to ever pull it off in that universe, and it took him 30 years to do it. The science would have to be hellishly complicated, and it obviously has extreme power requirements to operate that would dictate other aspects of construction (ie, you'd need tech capable of handling that power draw and not burn out or explode, at the very least). It would be pretty much impossible to build even the most simplistic of 1980s electronics with 1880s tech (even a pocket calculator would be more or less out of the question). I'm assuming TIME TRAVEL TECH is going to be multiple factors beyond a VCR or GameBoy. you're talking about this like you know nothing at all about this subject. it's not that hard to make rudimentary semi-conductors when you know how they work and how to process metal. calculators use microchips which are not required in this scenario. the only thing needed is the flux capacitor which is named and shown as a large electrical component, not a computer or other multi-component end product. --- *The truth basks in scrutiny.* https://imgur.com/GMouTGs http://projecteuler.net/profile/Sahuagin.png <cite>Sahuagin posted [p:929670294] in In Back to...
