So... different worlds follow different timelines, depending on the choices people make. The Professor's machine can track up or down people's personal timelines within those, once it selects them, and makes a calculation where to pull them from based on the parameters set into it. So it's not necessarily your future, but it is a point further forward in your world's general timeline? Does that make sense? I'm not really... a scientist or anything.
