We can imagine our fourth-dimensional selves branching out from our current moment into the fifth dimension, but no matter where you go from here the "great child inventor" timeline is not one of the available options in your current version of time --"you can't get there from here"-- no matter how much choice, chance, and the actions of others become involved.

And even before the Wright brothers succeeded in building a heavier-than-air flying machine, the physicist and inventor Nikola Tesla speculated that it would be possible to build a remote-controlled flying bomb—a premonition perhaps of German V-1 flying bombs and modern cruise missiles.

而且，即使在赖特兄弟成功建造成重于空气的飞行机之前，当时的物理学家与发明家尼克拉·特斯拉就设想，研制一种远程操控的自动导航导弹将是可能的——这种设想可能是德国V-1自动导航导弹与现代巡航导弹的前兆。
