Top 5 Confounding Time Travel Facts


check every hot tub phone booth and
pseudo futuristic sportscar one of them
is bound to take you back in time
welcome to watchmojo.com
in today’s installment we’re counting
down five miscellaneous factoids that
you probably didn’t know about time
travel it must be some kind of Hot Tub
Time Machine number five apparently
actors time travel all the time no Wes
way check
they must how else could you explain all
these actors who just happened to look
like people who lived a hundred years
ago plus we have proof here’s Henry
Fonda in a film in 1948 looking at an
iPhone and actors aren’t the only ones
who travelled back in time with mobile
devices just look at these women talking
on their cell phones a Swedish man
claimed to have met himself in the
future and as proof shot is blurry 12
second video no audio the whole thing
may or may not have been part of a viral
marketing campaign by a Swedish pension
fund though I may read about a Vita from
a fella a fountain roti Oh damnit ah
they have guilt say for your phone to
one wheel Washington State lawyer Andrew
basiago claims that ever since he was a
child he’s been part of a secret
government time travel experiment called
project Pegasus I have the whole story I
have hundreds of facts I can tell you
what personnel were at what locations
where which time-travel device was being
used even more amazing one of his
alleged chrono knots was none other than
President Barack Obama but there’s no
way they can travel to Mars
can they yes we can number four verb
tenses become very confusing
it wasn’t until his 21st birthday that
1955 Biff placed his first bet
Boyd mo is placed right what do you mean
who is placed the right tense for
something that would have happened in
the future of a past that was affected
by something from the beach
in his comedic novel the restaurant at
the end of the universe Douglas Adams
contends that the most difficult thing
about time travel is mastering the 1001
verb tense formations happen happened
yet
hatch Lee poppycock it will be happened
it shall be going to be happening it
will be was an event that could will
have been taking place in the future for
instance how would you describe
something that would have happened in
your current present while you’re
traveling from your original future to
readjust the original past and create an
alternate timeline from your current one
therefore in the new timeline Marty and
Doc never brought the time machine II is
brought right Marty and Doc never had
have had brought I don’t know you did it
to me
some internet grammarians have attempted
to create a usable solution and have
come up with phrases like I will kick
the ball have therefore the timeline in
which 1955 Biff gets the Almanac is also
the timeline in which 1955 Biff never
gets the Almanac and not just never get
never have never has it never had have
hasn’t number three science proves time
travelers do not tweet some physicists
over at Michigan Tech tried finding time
travelers using Twitter searches its
Sigmund frood how much time we got left
Hans why extra credit dude they chose a
few terms that would have been
completely anachronistic at a given time
like Pope Francis would have been in
2009 and scoured nearly a trillion
tweets they came up with nothing so I
really got to be the ass
says we got in this thing and went back
in time astro physicist Stephen Hawking
tried to meet time travelers by throwing
a reception for them but there’s a twist
I’m not letting anyone know about it
until after the party has happened
unfortunately no one came to his party
so either his invitation did not survive
far enough into the future or time
travel will never be invented or maybe
he just should have written an open bar
on the invitation what a shame
number two if you kill your grandfather
you can’t kill your grandfather sci-fi
buffs no this is the grandfather paradox
the theory goes that if you travel back
in time and killed your grandfather then
you never would have been born but since
you were never born you were never able
to kill your grandfather and so your
grandfather lives and you get born or
will have been gotten born who knew if
March marries Artie I’ll never be born
similar paradoxes exist for items and
ideas traveling back and forth through
time confounding the temporal origins of
anything how we took care of the time
travel paradox oh right yabba-dabba-doo
number one time travel is theoretically
possible there’s no such thing as time
travelers yes there is no probably not
but as confounding as it may be we can’t
dismiss the whole concept of science
fiction
this is his theorized that two black
holes placed end-to-end forming a
wormhole could create a portal through
time you see Einstein has just become
the world’s first time traveler of
course the actual size of the portal
would be about one atom wide so good
luck with that
however that hole could theoretically be
enlarged with a steady flow of
anti-gravity which also theoretically is
a real thing
I write Stargate fan fiction so I think
I know what I’m talking about right now
I seriously almost passed out you’re
such a dork naturally none of these
technologies are anywhere close to being
realized but it does make it easier to
suspend your disbelief for a good time
travel flick if I travel back to 1969
and I was frozen in 1967 presumably I
could go visit my frozen self but if I’m
still frozen in 1967 how could I have
been unthought in the nine
in travel back to own air I’ve gone
cross-eyed what will did you have been
thinking about these facts was not like
cryptic he was saying but I’m not
changing one little plan I know exactly
what he meant he was talking about the
butterfly effect that was a great movie
