I can’t believe that it has to be said, but time travel has never been, is not now and will not ever be. That’s just common sense. Sure, the Back To The Future trilogy provides much entertainment, but the movies are not based in fact, obviously. Just as obvious is that there is no life anywhere but here. But I digress.
There are those who point to a 1928 movie starring Charlie Chaplin and claim that there’s a time traveler walking into the shot with a cell phone to his or her ear.
But those who think that time travel is possible are, quite frankly, baffling to me. Like these people. And to believe that the clip truly does show a time traveler using a cell phone is weird, to say the least.
- If cell phones did not exist in 1928, then towers did not as well. How would this person obtain a signal? A phone number? A service provider?
- If the person is from the future, then cell phones would be much smaller. The Zach Morris phone would not be depicted in 1929.
- Time travel simply does not exist. And it never will.
Fortunately, there are some rational, intelligent people who know the whole tale of a time traveler in a crappy black-and-white film whose director couldn’t be bothered to include sound, given that the first movie with sound was released just one year before this piece of garbage is pure nonsense.
The answer, one that has been confirmed, is far less appealing than the psychotic subject of time travel. The person in the scene was merely using a hearing aid.
But time travel stories will bring in the traffic and the money, I guess.
