He may get back to the future just to discover that because he travelled back in time we ended up discovering time travel much quicker and his laboratory doesn't exist anymore. Sorta of like that one Simpsons episode.

actually that is not 100% true...
there are two posibilities:
1. the future is allready pre-written and has allready happened in the past, and therefore everything we are doing and are going to do technically allready happened.
for example: if i (A) ate an apple, then after i (A) was done eating my apple, i (A) went 5 minutes back in time to see me (B) eating the apple. I (B) would also see myself travel back in time over and over again...in other words, the fact that i was able to go back in time and watch me eat my apple, proves that it has happened allready and i am just repeating my actions that had occured in the future.
i think that even confused me a bit.\
easier example: if i were to travel back in time and destroyed my time machine before using it; i wouldn't be able to travel back in time to destroy my time machine before using it, right?...but since i was able to travel back in time, then there is nothing that can change that. since i am there allready, i will be there no matter what.
if you don't get what im saying, then forget it...it's hard to explain.
anyway, the second option is that SS said...that the smallest change can change everything like the butterfly effect.
