Time Travel Stories

Time Travel

Passing Through Time

About Facts Net has been around now for quite a while. Over the years some of those supermarket tabloids have come out with stories about a week later that that were eerily like some articles I had written and published on the site. I was thinking today that fair is fair and maybe I would talk about some of the stories and articles that have appeared in these papers. We all know that most of the stories in these type of papers are sheer nonsense and created to titillate readers, but I have a theory that every once in a while a story gets into one of these papers that has a chance of being true, even though it may be very strange. The problem is nobody would ever believe it since that story would be surrounded by many other stories that are totally outrageous. Knowing this I would like to discuss some of the stories and articles that have even a slight chance of either being true, or containing elements that might be true, even though the story may not.

Bermuda Triangle

Many of us have read stories about missing time, we have also read stories about people that believe that something happened to them that somehow brought them into the future, but they couldn't explain what was. One of my favorite stories is about a man that flew from the Bahamas to Florida regularly. He knew how long the trip would take his plane and indeed that is how long it took every time he made the trip, until one day he was caught up in some sort of an electrical storm. It should be noted that this trip took place over the Bermuda Triangle. As the plane tried to get through the storm he noticed that he was caught up in sort of an electrical cone or funnel. He also noticed that the end of the funnel was closing and he did his best to get his plane through the funnel before that happened. He barely succeeded, when he did he notice that he was over Florida. The problem was he had somehow gotten there an hour ahead of schedule, which was impossible. He checked his fuel and he had too much to be at Florida. Is it possible for people to travel through time, because of some sort of accident of nature? According to one of the stories I read in one of those supermarket tabloids, they claim that the Large Hadron Collider may have caused incidental time travel. The article claims that three M-16 rifles were found in an old Roman fort near the machine and that these rifles were buried down to a level where Roman swords and armor's were laying and that they were over 2000 years old. The article stated that they believed that three American soldiers along with their rifles were somehow accidentally sent back to the past to the time of the Romans and they eventually fought with the Roman legions and discarded the rifles when they ran out of ammunition.

If we would ask scientists about the ability of the Collider causing time displacement they would laugh at us. We also know that while most scientists do not believe that this machine can create black holes, there are some that do. Could a very tiny black hole cause time displacement? Einstein equated time and space together and said that time is displaced around large bodies in space. Knowing this, do we still believe that strange things are impossible, given the power of a machine like the Large Collider? The same article cited another situation that was believed to be time travel. It spoke about two young boys who were on their way to school. The walk took about 20 minutes and as the boys were walking they stopped for a second. An old lady came out of a cottage and offered them lemonade. They accepted and drank the lemonade and continued on to school. When they got to school it was four hours later and they were never able to explain the time difference, even as they got older. They went back to the area where they had stopped the day before, and looked for the old lady, but they were told that the cottage she lived in had been torn down 20 years before. The rest of their lives they were said to believe that they somehow traveled in time.

Many scientists believe that time travel is indeed possible. Some of them even predict that before this century is over we will have time travel. Rumors abound that the US government has been working on time travel projects for years. Most scientists agree that the hardest part of time travel would be going back to the past, but it all depends on how you define time travel. Scientists believe that if you were in a spaceship traveling faster than the speed of light you might be able to reach a destination in just a couple of weeks that was hundreds of light years away, but time on earth would have passed for hundreds of years. The theory is that our bodies would slow down so much in the spaceship that if somebody from Earth could see us they would think that we were statues, but the people on the ship would feel no different. This would allow for travel into the future, but it would be a one way trip. I'm not so sure that I could agree with this theory without it being proven to me in real life. As a matter of fact I don't even consider this time travel, but something else.

A man was working in his kitchen when he noticed a puddle on the floor. The puddle was coming from under the sink, so he went and got his tools, opened the cabinet under the sink and reached in as far as he could. It was just too far, he couldn't reach in that much. He decided to crawl all the way in and to his surprise the area under the sink became like a tunnel and he crawled until he saw a light and to his surprise he says he was able to now stand up. He then claimed he could see himself, but what he saw was an older man, maybe about 70 years old. It turns out that he had a mobile phone with him and filmed what he saw. The video link is below:

There is another interesting story about the Large Hadron Collider. A man was arrested last year at the site of the Collider and he was dressed very strangely. The man claimed that he was from the future and he had come back to prevent the Collider from destroying the world. When he was arrested he had been looking through bins and tried to explain to the police that he was looking for fuel for the power unit of his time machine. The year before that a Japanese and a Danish scientist came out with the statement that the discovery of the God particle, also known as the Higgs boson was being prevented by a ripple in time. Apparently these scientists believed that the Collider does affect time in some manner. If this is true then that would mean that time travel just might be possible. The man who claimed to be the time traveler was named Cole, and he was taken to a secure mental health facility in Geneva, but later disappeared from his cell.
