Now, step into the incredible, amazing future as we go exploring tomorrow. And now here is your guide to these adventures of the mind, John Campbell, Jr. Last night as I was going up the stair, I met a little man who wasn't there.
He wasn't there again today. My gosh, I wish he'd go. What did Gillette Burgess send those immortal lines? How do you get rid of a little man who isn't there in the first place? Peter Manson was a physicist, a scientist.
And his trouble started with a little man who wasn't there. Submatrix X integrated through pi... There I come in, Mr. Manson. Oh, I thought I saw you. Are you alone? Oh, yes. Well, then she hasn't arrived yet.
I wasn't expecting any more. Oh, I am. But if she isn't here yet, I'll have some time to explain. Who is the one thing at a time, sir? Now first, if you ever considered the problem of time travel.
Time travel? Well, that's impossible. Oh, and I don't say impossible because you invented it. I've done nothing of this sort. History says you did. What history? History says that you invented time travel machinery and applied for a United States patent on June 16, 1964.
What history? That's six years from now, but not from my point of view. You see, I've used one of your own time machines to come back from your future. Fifty years through my past to this date, your present.
Do you understand? You claim you have traveled 50 years through time. I am here, that's proof. I don't believe a word of it. Well, look him over. This is your own personal notebook, 50 years later than it is now.
