QED


UNLESS! Maybe that's where the Cobb/Cobb find is from!!

PROBLEM WITH YOUR CONCLUSION:

We wouldn't know time travel existed until someone built a time machine. There would have to be a machine to send and a machine to return. So until the send machine is built nobody can go back, and they may create an alternate timeline that isn't the same as this one. (as they would no longer be occupying the same space at the same time, thus the actions their might not be felt in our future at all, but only in their's) Not to mention many scientists think that we could only go back as far in time as the first time machine was built

I could go on and on but eventually it just makes your head hurt! lol
