Except for the vertex represented by the flux capacitor your description is technobabble to force a few physics concepts into a fantasy of a time traveling DeLorean. Real physics from which concepts of backward motion through time emerge do entail a vertex, three lines joined in the center. But the appearance of the vertex in the flux capacitor was an homage to Richard Feynman's vertexes in his Feynman diagrams. Feynman was a professor at Caltech, and an advisor on time travel for the film. The vertex of Feynman diagrams are represented by an arrow pointing in to the vertex, an arrow pointing out of the vertex, and a wavy line coming from the convergence point of the vertex. There are six orientations the vertex can take. Wavy line up, wavy line down, wavy line to the right at 60 degrees from up, wavy line right at 120 degrees from up, to the left at 60 degrees from up, and 120 degrees from up. Each of these six orientations can be put together with other vertexes like a set of tinker toys to represent all kinds of complex sub atomic quantum mechanical interactions. But here I'll describe one particular interaction. The vertex with a wavy line pointing up. The diagram represents motion of particles interacting through space, and time. Time is represented in the diagram on the vertical axis. Up the axis is forward in time. Down is backward. Space is represented on the horizontal axis. 2 particles are represented as lines coming together across space from left and right, and their motion through time by the lines angle on the time axis. The arrow pointing into, and up the time axis of the vertex represents a negatively charged electron. The arrow pointing out, and down the time axis of the vertex represents a positive electron particle, a positron, an anti electron, antimatter. When the opposite particles collide at the center of the vertex they annihilate each other, or combine, to produce pure energy, a photon represented by the wavy line. Inverted with the wavy line on the bottom the vertex represents a photon decaying, or splitting, into an electron, and positron moving away from each other. The representation of the positron, the antimatter, in the diagram is the arrow that points down the time axis. It can be thought of as an electron moving backward in time. Time travel. Information can be turned into a coded stream of electrons. It can also be encoded on a stream of positrons. That's as close as physics comes to time travel. Speculative extensions could be cobbled together where information is encoded on a stream of light particles where the light is split into electron, and positron streams. If computers can use the machine code of the brain then the mind could be copied, encoded on a positron stream, then converted to an electron stream code on the receiving end to be copied to the receiver brain. Likewise matter can be converted to energy, and the pattern sent to be reassembled on the receiving end. But given mind transfer whole body transport is redundant. The physics of the encoded positron from its frame moving backward in time is that to a forward moving encoder the encoded positron stream has the encoding before it reaches the encoder, and the encoder takes away the encoding so the stream continues backward with no encoding. That's where the physics shows there's no way to send information backward.
What would be a design look like that on such a micro scale. Could the design be like a small mobile nuclear particle accelerator like on Ghost Busters proton packs. When I think of 1.21 gigawatts of power, I'm thinking of a nuclear power plant generating that each day. But only need a split second of power needed to break the time barrier. Is there even enough radiation shielding from being exposed.
I loved the entire season last year, but those didn't mean anything when the playoffs came around...😢 I was just really sad about that... I hope that this year is the same of record setting numbers to go along with another WS title...
In reality, Doc would probably have to worry more about Mossad as opposed to Libyan terrorists coming to get him. The 80s was Gaddafi's era, and Israel and Libya weren't the best of friends. So if the Libyans were trying to build a nuke, Israel certainly wouldn't like it, and they might try to eliminate Dr. Brown. I'm not sure what's scarier. Muammar Gaddafi with a nuke, or Shimon Peres with a time machine.
@GFR you need to change the last sentence of this video....
Roads !!!! Where we're going we don't need roads :D
I thought about it, it just seemed too expected!
Nice explanation! Science fiction is the mother of real science. One human dream other human becomes reality one day.
Thanks! And well said

The “Flux Capatchittor”!
I don’t get it

That is very imformative, thank you for your feedback( and lesson). I think I've learned more from this comment than my physics class in high school.
@@GiantFreakinRobot I added a few more details to my previous post. You might want to take a look at.

It is possible and btw ghost buster proton pack is a cyclotron a little different from a partial accelerator
@Alldaynobreak I thought cyclotrons were a form of particle accelerator.
I see it as energy circuits ..... In FLUX
That seems about right
