Basically everytime you go back it will make changes to the future in such way you don't exist thus the time machine by its very nature can never be discovered. Everyone that does immediately erases their future self from existence.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
