BELGRADE, THURSDAY

SCIENTISTS HAVE DISCOVERED that anyone travelling to the past would immediately forget the future they had come from and be trapped where they were with their memory only able to recall events from the moment they arrived.

“It’s a function of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, or entropy,” says Professor Silim Gobhfuilse, of University College Dublin. “The future is chaotic, at maximum entropy. The past is fixed, at minimum entropy. When someone returns to the past, their own memories ahead of the date they arrive automatically become the future. Fixed becomes chaos. The memories are lost in a confusion of possibility.

“Our world might be full of time travelers but they are here for good. They cannot go back because they do not know they ever came.”

So look at your neighbor, he or she might be from the future.
