it's right next to the catastrophic converter...

U.S. Patent 6,084,285 describes a "lateral flux capacitor having fractal-shaped perimeters." The idea being to make a capacitor in an integrated circuit, some of whose capacitance exists between two conductors on a single layer (hence, "lateral"). The device is not a lateral flux-capacitor but a lateral-flux capacitor; that is, lateral modifies flux, and lateral flux is attributive, rather than flux capacitor compound and lateral modifying capacitor.

In fiction, we call the flux capacitor an example of "deus ex machina" or the God Machine. The creators of Back to the Future needed a device that would solve the temporal mechanics of time travel, so they made this invention up that magically solves all the problems associated with time travel.

First, go up to they guy who told you that and kick him in the jimmy.
Next, watch the Back to the Future movies. Get some popcorn and soda, make a night of it.
See that flashy lightbox behind the driver's right shoulder in the Delorean/time machine? That's the flux capacitor. It makes time travel possible.

way back in the "scientifiction" pulp magazine days, there were several stories of time travel, which rode a ":timeflux:" or some form. the flux term was used as a time energy or motion measurment. hence when you need to travel thru time you need a fuel tank or capacitor to store it in for use."flux capacitor" is a hypothetical device for storing temporal energies. kind of like the "ansible" which allows instant communication from different star systems but only for time travel

it is the fictional piece of equipment from the movie franchise Back to the Future. It is piece of equipment that allows the car to move through time.

Fictional name of a component from the movie Back to the Future, he was messing with you

its wat makes your car travel into the future. very important if you ever needed it. there like 5 grand on ebay. its cheaper than getting a new one
