[2038, he would supply, is nothing compared to some of the "futures" that others hail from. The wide variety of histories, of species, of alternate Earths and universes with no Earth at all. The vastness of time and space that would send most theoretical physicists into a tizzy.

Any discrepancies in that would be counterproductive.
