"Now I want you clearly to understand that this lever, being pressed over, sends the machine gliding
into the future, and this other reverses the motion. I am going to press the lever, and off the machine
will go. will vanish, pass into future Time, and disappear. Have a good look at the thing, Look at the
table too, and satisfy yourselves there is no trickery. I don't want to waste this model, and then be
told I'm a quack."
There was a minute's pause perhaps. The Psychologist seemed about to speak to me, but changed
his mind. Then the Time Traveller put forth his finger towards the lever. He sent forth the model
Time Machine on its interminable voyage. We all saw the lever turn. I am absolutely certain there
was no trickery. There was a breath of wind, and the lamp flame jumped. One of the candles on the
mantel was blown out, and the little machine suddenly swung round, became indistinct, was seen as
ghost; and it was one--vanished!

H. G. Wells wrote the science fiction book The Time Machine, which was first published in 1895. By employing a machine or vehicle to deliberately and selectively travel forward or back through time, the work is largely credited with popularizing the idea of time travel.

The Time Machine by H.G. Wells presents a dismal outlook on humankind's future. A scientist travels to the future with a time machine. He discovers that humanity has degenerated into the monstrous Morlocks and the infantile Eloi. When his machine vanishes, he ventures out into the future.
