The chances of a nuclear attack on America are incredibly low. For starters, it’s never happened in the history of mankind. There are also only a handful of countries on the planet who possess an arsenal of nuclear bombs. Sure, we might not have the best relationship with those countries but the chances of a nuclear attack on U.S. soil are still incredibly slim.

At some point, nuclear war will wipe out the planet and that will prevent us from ever making time travel a reality….Sure, this is a complete trash theory that’s not based on science at all but it’s one that starts to make sense after you’ve ripped the gravity bong 3 or 4 times in a night. I’m not saying I came up with this stupid theory while smoking but I’m also not not saying that.
