Not only is it possible, it actually happened .

The person who invented the time machine is Xepsis Klerglemoss and this is how it looked from the photos he left.

The machine didn’t physically go anywhere, in fact, it simply vaporized the Time Traveler, and then materialized him at the appropriate time. The machine could be controlled from wherever he was.

Klerglemoss’s diary states that his first attempt was to go back a year.

The machine worked perfectly except that it vaporized only him but not his clothes, so he arrived naked except for metal objects.

His workshop had previously been a Victorian draper’s shop, and when he arrived it was full of women.

Luckily he managed to vaporize quickly, but not before he was included in the shots a photographer was taking at the store.

This photograph was used by the police to hunt down the strange intruder.

The unfortunate consequences of the incident were that the store was boycotted by women shortly afterward, and was forced to close. Some newspapers claimed that the store had deliberately staged the event in an attempt to promote special protective clothing for women.

Klerglemoss realized that going back in time had unintended consequences, and that his laboratory was the consequence of his own actions, since the fabric shop went bankrupt because of his visit, and this had allowed him to buy the place cheaply for his experiments.

A rather complex paradox arose which resulted in the decision to abandon time travel and the destruction of his instruments.

His story is known only because of a coincidence he was involved in during a move. He had lost his keys and decided to go back to the morning when he had last seen the keys, he did so and found them.

But when he came back to the present, the movers had moved his closet and unfortunately he went back to his locked closet. The Vaporizer fell out of his hand but he didn’t have enough room to pick it up.

He was found some time later, dead, naked in his closet, with no explanation as to how he got there.

The case was covered in a local newspaper and a curious journalist seems to have discovered the story just told, although his version was apparently shelved by the police.

We may never know the whole truth, but it is a lesson to be learned about tampering with Nature.
