In summary, there was a discussion about Einstein and time machines on the Physics Forums website. One member saw two time machines and documented one, but did not remember the other. Another member mentioned a similar topic, but later clarified that it did not count towards their post count. The original thread was moved to a different forum and some members' accounts may have been removed.

So...
