I'm not sure if anyone has yet pointed this out, but a few minutes
of sleuthing the other day led me to the discovery that Albert Einstein,
author of the Special and General Theories of Relativity, died in 1955.
Surely this must be a reason for picking that year to time travel back
to.  Unfortunately, he died April 18, not November 5, so I still haven't
found a reason for the date.  Maybe they simply chose Nov 5 because they
knew that was the night that the Honeymooners episode with Ralph as a
spaceman (?) premiered (just speculating, I don't know).
