Watch Doc Brown’s Back to the Future Day Message to the World (Time)

It’s Oct. 21, 2015, so Doc Brown naturally has a message for you.

Fox’s character Marty McFly (who traveled forward to exactly this date in the iconic movie trilogy’s second installment in 1989), to continuing to pray for a mass-produced version of that hoverboard, and wondering…what now?

But Brown, the eccentric genius and time machine inventor played by Christopher Lloyd, has a reassuring message for those who worry that self-lacing shoes aren’t really a thing yet.
