Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"...And It Comes Out Here" by Lester Del Rey is a science fiction short story published in the early 1950s. The narrative explores complex concepts of time travel and self-reference, revolving around the themes of invention and causality. The story raises philosophical questions about the nature of existence and the potential consequences of meddling with time. The plot follows Jerome Boell, an engineer who invents a time machine, allowing him to revisit his past and ultimately create a paradox. After meeting his older self, he embarks on a journey to the future, where he retrieves an atomic generator that he will later claim to have invented. As the narrative unfolds, the distinctions between creator and creation blur, leading to the realization that Boell's inventions and the timeline's events are intricately connected in a loop that defies conventional understanding. The story grapples with the implications of such a timeline, leaving readers to ponder who truly is the inventor and what this means for the nature of knowledge and progress.
