A Hypothetical Causal Circle With Already Known Effects

The Corridors Of Time, CHAPTER FOUR.

Storm to Lockridge:

"'I sometimes wonder if, at the last, engineers will not go back sixty million years and build great space fleets, for a battle that wiped out the dinosaurs and left eternal scars on the moon....'" (p. 33)

The longest time corridors are about six thousand years long so sixty million years would need a lot of corridors. But we know that the "time wardens," successors of the Wardens and Rangers, use more conventional time machines so maybe such machines will be used in the time war before it ends? Killing the dinosaurs and scarring the Moon would have been a fitting conclusion. A time travel novel should explain both future and past events.
