After the war, months went on, and life was coming back to normal. The offices were reopening, the colleges and the schools' everything was reopening.

At the schools, the children were always awarded whenever they invented something new. But Tim was always focused on making “Time Machine.” His parents always forced him to invent other things, but he preferred making the time machine. Tim was a tough kid to manage with. He was 20 years old. But he looked like a 15-year-old. He was short, and he had long hair, he was very smart looking. He looked a bit nerdy. Tim’s mother passed away when he was 8 years of age. His father married another woman, and she looked after Tim like she was his own mother. His father was in the army; after the war, there were many injuries, but they all survived. Anyone who loses his legs or arm was replaced with another mechanical arms or legs, but it would function as if our arm or leg was there.

So Tim’s father lost his arm, and he required some tests and a lot of surgeries to replace his arm. A lot of money was spent. Tim didn’t have any money for his experiments. But his stepmother always supported him to make a new invention and present it to the college and earn some money, so that is why his parents were forcing to make any other inventions or experiments rather than making the time machine. Tim was going to his school, and he saw Tom. Tom asked Tim, “Have your father recovered from the injury?” Tim said, “No, he is still recovering, and it would take some time, a lot of time. The doctor told it would be months to recover from the injury, and the nanobots must be injected in the next week. I think it’s going to be a long process, and he would need time to recover.” Tom asked Tim, “Have you made the theory which could make the time machine work?” Tim says, “Yes, I have made the theory, but the problem is I don’t have the money to make it, and I don’t have any Tryxanium with me to make this thing.” Tom tells Tim, “Look what I have made today. I have made a remote control light.” Tim appreciated Tom for making, but Tim was still depressed that he couldn’t make anything still now. But Tom gives Tim the motivation that his time machine will make a huge impact on the earth, and he will be a legend, and the world will remember his name.

When they reached the school, Tom has presented his invention, and the teacher appreciated him. Everyone in the class has presented inventions except Tim. So the teacher told him to come into her office this evening. Time passed very quickly. Tim was thinking about a lot of things. He thought, “What will the teacher tell me when I reach her office? Will she scold me or advise me to make another invention other than what I am doing now. What will happen, I don’t know.

It was evening. When Tim has gone to his teacher’s office, she was waiting. Tim was nervous. But something else happened. When he was about to speak, his teacher asked him, “How is your work on your time machine going on? Did you write the theory which could make the time machine?” Tim says, “Yes, but the only problem is that I don’t have the resources to make it or the money.” The teacher tells him, “It’s a bit funny because you are a 20-year-old kid, and you are trying to make a machine that a lot of great people have tried and failed. Why did you think or what did you think that to create this machine, a lot of time and a lot of brains is required to create this thing, and you are telling me you wrote the theory? I just can’t believe it.” Tim says, “Actually, this was not my idea or my theory. There was an ancient fellow who lived in the 19th century. His name was Albert Einstein.” The teacher was surprised to hear the year of the book he read and asked him, “Huh, 19th century, first of all, where did you get the book of this date and how did you get it. I think the only 19th century’s book was Oliver's twist in the museum. Wait, did you steal it from the museum?” Tim says, “No, I helped an old man, and he gave me this book.” The teacher says, “Huh, it was rare to find a book in the 19th century. Anyways I called you for other purposes. I want to give you this money to your father. It’s nothing. I just wanted to pay your bills and other things, and here you go.” The teacher gives Tim a lot of money to buy the resources for his machine and pay the bills. Tim was shocked after hearing this. That why did his teacher gave him a lot of money for my purpose. He couldn’t understand.
