Brown in explaining the car to Marty says "Ohhh....I almost forgot the spare plutonium......one pellet per trip" How did Einstein get back? If the "now" world just caught up to him one minute later, why had he not gone 1.4667 miles down the road (88mph*(1/60hrs.)) in the interim. There is no way that prof. Brown could have sent the command to kill the engine in time to catch up to the car as it speed up past the speed of light............... Did einstein put on a puppy plutonium suit, refill the chamber by instinct, reprogram the car, and circle around the Doc and Marty time so as to come back in the same place???? Whas goin on?

The Professor sent the car into the future, that's why the two watches were one minute off, also that's why there was only one trip and no re-fill needed. When the car returned, then he stopped it, it didn't have to do anything special at that point. Ken
