I find this "if-else" statement to be invalid. it is entirely possible the time machine IS invented by 2050, but you don't have access to it.
or, as some people speculate, the time machine can only go back in time to the date when the machine itself was invented.
or, it is learned that going back in time to give yourself a suggestion will break the space-time continuum, and rather than destroying the universe, you opt to not go talk to yourself.
There are only two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors
