You can't . If you were to prevent yourself from buying it in the past, you wouldn't have it available in the present to travel back and stop yourself from buying it . Ergo, you would still have it . This is a classic rookie time - travel mistake.

I disagree . Your inability to successfully woo Penny...long predates your acquisition of the time machine . That failure clearly stands on its own.

In addition, your premise is flawed . In the original film, Rod Taylor got Yvette Mimieux with that very time machine . In Back to the Future, Marty McFly got the opportunity to hook up with his extremely attractive young mother.

Leonard, it's 2:00 in the morning. So? So it's my turn . Why did you set it for the day before yesterday? Because I want to go back and keep myself from getting a time machine. You can't . If you were to prevent yourself from buying it in the past, you wouldn't have it available in the present to travel back and stop yourself from buying it . Ergo, you would still have it . This is a classic rookie time - travel mistake. Can I go back and prevent you from explaining that to me? Same paradox . If you were to travel back in time and, say, knock me unconscious, you would not then have the conversation that irritated you, motivating you to go back and knock me unconscious. What if I knocked you unconscious right now? It won't change the past. But it'd make the present so much nicer. Are you upset about something? What was your first clue? Well, it was a number of things . First, the late hour . Then your demeanor seems very low - energy . Plus your irritability ... Yes, I'm upset! Oh . I don't usually pick up on those things . Good for me. Yeah, good for you. Oh, wait . Did you wanna talk about what's bothering you? I don't know . Maybe. I'm on fire tonight. Here's the thing . Girls like Penny never end up with guys who own time machines. I disagree . Your inability to successfully woo Penny...long predates your acquisition of the time machine . That failure clearly stands on its own. Thanks for pointing it out. In addition, your premise is flawed . In the original film, Rod Taylor got Yvette Mimieux with that very time machine . In Back to the Future, Marty McFly got the opportunity to hook up with his extremely attractive young mother. Those are movies. Of course they're movies . Were you expecting me to come up with an example involving a real - life time machine? That's absurd.
