If there is any truth to the William Blake maxim that "The road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom", then surely the Sharkando franchise embracing time travel would be the Hennessey Venom F5 hurtling down the Autobahn towards the palace of wisdom. And that it exactly what happened on this day in 2018 Sharknado did what Ludicrous Field scientist did not believe was possible. when it broke the Ludicrous Barrier with "The Last Sharknado - It's About Time".

From IMDB: "Fin has to go back in time to rejoin his shark-battling friends to stop the first Sharknado and save humanity."
