H.G. Wells' Time Machine is not, as in her novel, a physical transport device carrying the user(s) back (or forwards) in time, rather it is based on Gestalt psychology principles, and employs the "web" of the collective unconscious to allow the user to target and inhabit a known individual at a specific time in the past. The maximum duration of the trip through time is 22 hours and 19 minutes; as soon as this time is over the user(s) return to their own bodies in their own time period. However, if the time machine is damaged while in use the user(s) consciousnesses will be lost forever as soon as time runs out.

TriviaEdit

The maximum duration of the trip through time, prior to it being damaged, is 22 hours and 19 minutes. This totals 1339 minutes, which is perfectly divisible by 13.

When HG created this artifacted she never intended for duration of its' effect to only last 22 hours and 19 minutes, but she never could figure out how or why her time machine only lasted that long.

HG's inspiration for this artifact was the idea of people living past lives i.e. a woman claimed that she was Scotish farmer 100 years ago and she could even point out the exact place she lived.
