Plot hole: Mrs. Stevens (H.G. Wells' housekeeper) witnessed HG leaving in the time machine. From her point of view (POV) it disappeared right in front of her. Yet the sign at the museum says that the time machine never worked, despite a witness that it did. (00:19:47 - 00:24:14)

Suggested correction: Even though she witnessed the time machine disappearing, there's always the possibility that nobody believed her if she told them what she saw. Telling anyone about the machine vanishing would have people just writing her off.
Also, it is very likely that once he returned to the past, Wells told her not to tell anyone about it.

Trivia: All three of the children of the real H.G. Wells were still alive at the time of this film's release.
