How did Jack create a time machine?

Jack's story is a fascinating tale full of excitement and learning. Jack, a genius in physics, mathematics and chemistry, managed to build a prototype of a time machine. It all started with an accident that made him feel deeply guilty. This story is not just entertainment; it offers an opportunity to reflect on the skills and concepts we have explored throughout this course.

What inspired Jack to build the time machine?

Jack was always running late, and this triggered an unfortunate episode while running through the streets on a rainy Monday. Through carelessness, he almost caused an accident that left several people injured. Although his loved ones tried to convince him that it was not his fault, Jack was determined to change the past. With a deep sense of responsibility, he embarked on a mission to build a machine that would allow him to go back in time and alter the events of that fateful day.

What were Jack's first attempts?

Initially, Jack managed to travel only five minutes into the past. Although a small breakthrough, this filled Jack with joy and motivation.
With adjustments and recalculations, Jack managed to go back a full day.
His perseverance and dedication were evident when he finally traveled hours before the accident, managing to avoid it on his first successful attempt.

What happened after Jack avoided the crash?

After his initial success, Jack faced a new challenge: he didn't know how to return to his original time. As he tried to figure it out:

He found himself traveling back more than a decade.
He experienced despair as he failed again and again.
He filled the room with equations and wires in an attempt to fix the situation.
