Science fiction

Sahil once told me the following time travel story:

A man goes into the future and looks for himself. He asks his friends, now much older, about his whereabouts. The friends say, "we don’t know; he just disappeared one day". The man realizes what had happened and does some of the usual time travel trickery. Then he announces, "there I am". And, sure enough, there
he was!

I enjoyed the story. After a moment of hesitation, he added with a chuckle

“Baba, I'm really glad that you didn’t ask me ‘how?’ when I said ‘a man goes into future’.”
