Seems to me that $20M is a little steep for a time machine. Can I get a cheaper "SE" version without all the bells and whistles? And I don't want to go too far into time in either direction. I don't care about dinosaurs or Jesus.
...
I would like an autographed "John Titor," though.

Each instance that you travel back in time to try another change, you find that you create another chain of events that prevents the time machine from being invented thus negating all that you thought you did.
The end result is that the machine doesn't work. Use of the time machine to travel back in time creates a series of events that prevents it from ever being invented in the first place.
