Time Travelers
The concept of time travel has long captivated the human imagination. From scientific theories to sci-fi films and internet conspiracy theories, it’s a theme that appears everywhere.
Is time travel possible? Have time travelers already visited our present?
According to Science
Einstein’s general theory of relativity suggests that time travel — or at least time dilation — could be theoretically possible!
Time Dilation: At near-light speeds, time slows down for the traveler compared to someone at rest.
Black Holes and Wormholes: Some theories propose that certain spacetime formations, such as wormholes, could allow forward or backward travel through time. However, we are far from having the technology or evidence to make this a reality.
Traveling to the Past & The Paradoxes
Grandfather Paradox: What happens if you go back and prevent your own birth?
Multiverse Theory: Some theories claim that changing the past would simply create a new timeline, leaving the original unchanged.
NASA’s Twin Experiment – Scott and Mark Kelly
Astronaut Scott Kelly spent 340 days aboard the International Space Station (ISS) between 2015 and 2016. Due to time dilation, he aged just slightly more slowly than his twin brother on Earth. His gene expression changed in space, but most of these effects reversed upon his return.
Meanwhile, Mark Kelly, his identical twin and fellow astronaut (retired at the time), remained on Earth and technically aged a few milliseconds more — a tiny but measurable difference.
This is the result of Einsteinian time dilation: Scott, orbiting Earth at around 28,000 km/h, experienced time more slowly than Mark.
Philosophical Questions
If time travel were possible, why haven’t we met any time travelers yet?
Maybe they hide, maybe time travel is banned, or perhaps it simply hasn’t been invented yet — or never will be.
Why Would Time Travelers Visit Us?
Historical Observation: Studying our era from the future.
Turning Point: Our decisions now — climate change, AI, wars, nuclear weapons — could significantly affect the future.
Tourism: Our present might be a destination for “time tourists.”
Intervention or Correction: Perhaps they’re here to fix something.
TikTok Time Travelers & Internet Theories
TikTok Time Travelers: In recent years, many TikTok users have claimed to be from the future, sharing photos of deserted cities or strange technology. These are almost always proven hoaxes.
John Titor (2000–2001): A self-proclaimed time traveler who posted online about his “mission” from the future. He predicted a world war in the 2030s and claimed to use a real time machine. It all sounds a bit like The Terminator.
1928 Charlie Chaplin Film: A woman is seen holding something to her ear — many think it looks like a mobile phone.
1995 Mike Tyson vs. Peter McNeeley Boxing Match: A video shows a man in the audience holding an object that looks suspiciously like a modern smartphone. Some speculate it was an early digital camera, like the Casio QV-100.
Fun Facts
Elon Musk is often jokingly called a time traveler because he seems far ahead of his time — obviously not real evidence, just internet humor.
CERN, the lab where the Higgs boson was discovered, is a popular target for conspiracy theorists. Some claim they’re experimenting with time travel.
Aliens as Time Travelers?
Some theories suggest extraterrestrials aren’t from another planet but are actually future humans or post-human beings who’ve come back via time travel!
