[net.movies] a real BTTF stumper

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.
