Doc:
Obviously, the time continuum has been disrupted, creating this new temporal event sequence resulting in this alternate reality.
Marty McFly:
English, Doc.
Doc:
Here, here, here. Let me illustrate.
[drawing on a chalkboard]
Doc:
Imagine that this line represents time. Here's the present, 1985, the future, and the past. Prior to this point in time, somewhere in the past, the timeline skewed into this tangent, creating an alternate 1985. Alternate to you, me, and Einstein, but reality for everyone else.
[retrieving something from the time machine]
Doc:
Recognize this? It's the bag the sports book was in. I know because the receipt was still inside. I found them in the time machine, along with this.
Marty McFly:
It's the top of Biff's cane. I mean, old Biff from the future.
Doc:
Correct. It was in the time machine because Biff was in the time machine, with the sports almanac.
Marty McFly:
Holy shit.
Doc:
You see, while we were in the future, Biff got the sports book, stole the time machine, went back in time, and gave the book to himself at some point in the past. Look, huh. It says right here that Biff made his first million betting on a horse race in 1958. He wasn't just lucky, he knew because he had all the race results in the sports almanac. That's how he made his entire fortune.
