Polo423 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 I was wondering today....could the Delorean time travel to BC/primordial times? Or could Doc only go back as far as the birth of Christ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archer9234 20 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 There where other buttons on the keypad that could of changed the TC settings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 nope, otherwise the time circuit display would have an indicator for BC/AD. Other buttons mean nothing if you get no feedback =P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archer9234 20 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 Well the TC could display letters with the year is. Like 95BC. And scroll back and forth like an iPod title. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 kinda doubt that. The led's on the year were 7 segment, not 14/16 needed to display letters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RG 1 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 Maybe it had a button for it, and then a LED lighted up... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTTFTIME 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 What about those never used mystery keys, they could turn on a red light(AD), green light(BC), and Blue Light(Millions of years) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 explain how the lights would work in an easy to use fashion for all 3 displays then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluespace88 9 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 there was no negative sign on the keypad =P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hscitpe 6 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 im gona have to go with Blue on this one, there were no type of indicators on the TCs that would result in BC years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 can't be on the keypad, cuz you need the indicators for present, past, and destination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RG 1 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 There were three different color buttons on keypad... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hscitpe 6 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 however the TAS DeLorean could, but thats non noncanonical and that comic series someone was talking about a few posts up were based off episodes of TAS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archer9234 20 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 Look, in the end it probably could do it. Why would Doc omit that important feature. Just the design crew didn't have a reason to implement it. After all, you could see the months where manually inserted into the TC's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 the time machine could go to any time. Doc just had his time circuits limited from Jan 1 0000 to Dec 31 9999 =P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hscitpe 6 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) why not drop it, theres no proof it could and theres no proof it couldnt (just like the RC Flying DeLorean, who knows if Doc removed the remote receiver) however since it was never shown in the films (just like the RC Flying DeLoran) i feel it should not be implemented Edited January 10, 2009 by hscitpe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluespace88 9 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 oh yes it could. It was just the software that had limits set on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RG 1 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 And what happen after a minute in Dec/31/9999/11.59/PM? Time Circuits crash? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Platina 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 proof? Here it is. No matter where the delorean is going, 1 minute to the future, 30 years back, Doc even said it could go to Dec 25 0000, it will always use up all 1.21 gigawatts of energy, which is a given constant. Therefore, if it went to 65,000,000 BC, it would still use 1.21 gigawatts of energy. Thats the hardware part of the delorean, which is the flux capacitor, wormhole emitter, etc. The software part is on the time circuits, which tells the time machine where to exit to. This is where the limitation is. Mainly the year line. Only 4 digits, and no support for BC. However, if Doc were to upgrade the time circuits, to say like an lcd display like a laptop and more sophisticated programming, there is no reason the delorean can't go back to 65,000,000 BC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
