Read this excerpt from the time travelled by h. g. wells and then answer the question that follows:

“now i want you clearly to understand that this lever, being pressed over, sends the machine gliding into the future, and this other reverses the motion. i am going to press the lever, and off the machine will go. it will vanish, pass into future time, and disappear. have a good look at the thing. look at the table too, satisfy yourselves there is no trickery. i don’t want to waste this model, and then be told i’m a quack." there was a minutes pause perhaps. the psychologist seemed about to speak to me, but changed his mind. then the time traveler put forth his finger towards the lever. he sent forth the model time machine on its interminable voyage. we all saw the lever turn. i am absolutely certain there was no trickery. there was a breath of wind, and the lamp flame jumped. one of the candles on the mantle was blown out, and the little machine said only swung around, became indistinct, was seen as a ghost; and it was gone—vanished!
