شلدون یک زمان فعل جدید اختراع می کند

Back to the Future:

Back to the future is a famous 1985 American science fiction movie in which a high school kid named Marty goes 30 years into the future to 2015.

Doc is the crazy scientist who invites the time machine, and Biff, the villain, is a high school bully in 1985.

Step 1.

• wait. Hold on. Pause.

Something doesn’t make sense.

Look, in 2015, Biff steals the sports almanac and takes the time machine back to 1955, to give it to his younger self.

But as soon as he does that, he changes the future,  so the 2015 he returns to would be a different 2015, not the 2015 that Marty and Doc were in.

• This is Hot Tub Time Machine all over again.

If future Biff goes back to 2015 right after he gives young Biff the almanac, he could get back to the 2015 with Marty and Doc in it.

• Because it wasn’t until his 21st birthday that 1955 Biff placed his first bet.

-wait. Whoa, whoa. Is placed right?

What do you mean?

Is placed the right tense for something that would’ve happened in the future of…

…a past that was affected by something from the future?

-Had will have placed?

• That’s my boy!

• Okay, so, it wasn’t until his 21st birthday that Biff had will have placed his first bet and made his millions.

That’s when he altered the timeline.

-Yeah, but he had will haven’t placed it!

• What?

• Unlike Hot Tub Time Machine, this couldn’t be more simple.

When Biff gets the almanac in 1955, the alternate future he creates…

… isn’t the one in which Marty and Doc Brown ever use the time machine to travel to 2015.

Therefore, in the new timeline, Marty and Doc never brought the time machine.

• Wait. Is brought right?

• Marty and Doc never had have had brought?

• I don’t know. You did it to me.

• Oh, I’m going with it.

Marty and Doc never had have had brought the time machine to 2015.

That means 2015 Biff could also not had have had brought the almanac to 1955 Biff.

Therefore, the timeline in which 1955 Biff gets the almanac is also the timeline in which 1955 Biff never gets the almanac.

And not just never gets.

Never have, never hasn’t, never had have hasn’t.

• He’s right.

Also, what kind of name is Biff?

Sounds like when you pop open a can of Pillsbury dough.

Biff.

• Oh, that stuff is so good wrapped around cocktail weenies.

• Guys.

• Do you know that the word weener comes from the German name of the Austrian Capital Vienna, or Wien?

• Do you know if you look at Austria on a map it actually looks like a weener?

• Guys, what are we doing?

We sent the girls away so we could focus.

• I don’t think it worked.

• wait. Hold on. Pause.

Something doesn’t make sense.

Used to tell someone to wait for a short time, especially so that you have some time to check or think about something.

Example: Hold on a second, let me check if I have the tickets.

To not make sense:

Example: The theory that Earth is flat doesn’t make sense.

• That’s my boy!

That’s my boy:

Used as expression of encouragement when someone has done something well.

This is particularly funny coming out of Sheldon’s mouth because it’s a really informal and playful expression, and a guy like Sheldon isn’t normally so supportive.

The Crazy Verb Tenses Used Here:

Just in case you did the mental gymnastics to check if these invented verb tenses are logical, even if time travel were possible, they would not be correct.

Interestingly, this scene first took place as a real conversion between the writers of the series before writing it into the script.
