Time machines already exist and they're in the guise of space telescopes. In 1995, one such time machine called Hubble peered into a small patch of empty sky for ten days straight.

For the scientists on Earth, it was a huge, expensive gamble.

What emerged from Hubble's patient gaze was a glittering array of 3,000 galaxies and billions of years of history staring right back at us.

If you get joy out of looking at the hubble deep field image, I highly recommend watching the video "Gigapixels of Andromeda".

There is a better version (remaster) but I like the music on this version better.
