Back to the Future Day


celebrated each november 5th, back to the future day is our opportunity to recognize doc brown’s discovery of the flux capacitor, the device that makes time travel possible. back to the future day is celebrated by wishing everyone a happy back to the future day, and updating your social media networks statuses accordingly.

on november 5th, 1955, dr. emmet lathrop brown (doc brown to his friends), was attempting to hang a clock in his bathroom. as he reached over, he lost his footing , slipped from the toilet that he was standing on, and struck his head against the side of the sink.

unconscious, doc had a vision. and that vision was that of a flux capacitor — the device that makes time travel possible.

requiring 1.21 gigawatts of electrical power and to be moving at a speed of 88 mph (142 km/h) the flux capacitor allows one to move forward or backwards in time.

dr. emmet brown, on this day in history, we salute you, and remember your red letter date in the history of science!
