Proof of Time Travel: 5 Photos That Seemingly Support the Possibility of the Hypothetical Activity

2. Mr. Ben From 1943?

An image from 1943 purports to depict British factory workers taking a holiday during the war by going to the seaside. Most people's attire and beachwear are appropriate for this period.

However, a man in a Mr. Bean-like outfit seems to be t in the middle of the frame, looking at his phone. The figure sparked rumors that he was a time traveler.

3. Surfing Time Traveler

Another photo that individuals have taken to demonstrate the existence of time travel is a shot taken nearly a century ago. It depicts a few well-dressed Canadians perched on a hillside.

However, a young man with ruffled hair and what looks to be a t-shirt and shorts sits on the left. His peculiar clothing rapidly earned him the nickname "surfer time traveler."

The people surrounding him seemed surprised by his outfit. One woman can be seen gesturing toward him, looking shocked at how different his clothes were compared to them.

4. Girl from 1898 Resembles Activist Greta Thunberg

This 1898 shot in Canada's Yukon region shows three kids working a goldmine. It is from the extensive archive of documentary photographer Eric Hegg. The Swedish Americans took some of the most famous pictures of people trying to earn their fortunes in the untamed north at the end of the 1800s.

However, many noticed that one of the girls looked strikingly similar to activist Greta Thunberg. The sight sparked theories that Thunberg traveled through time to save the planet.

5. iPhone Featured in Artwork Decades Before it Hit the Market

The modern iPhone appeared in a 19th-century artwork, "Marriage of Burns and Highland Mary." The painting was completed 125 years before the iconic smartphone hit the market. Several other paintings also depict smartphones and tablets. Umberto Romano's 1937 painting "Pynchon And The Settling Of Springfield" also featured a man seemingly holding a mobile phone. He even grips it in his palm with his thumb on one side of the object, like most people have smartphones.

Is Time Travel Possible?

Time travel is possible. However, it doesn't work like how people think about it or how it has been featured in movies and TV shows.

Science does justify some degree of time-bending. For instance, time is an illusion that moves about to an observer based on scientist Albert Einstein's theory of special relativity. When an observer travels close to the speed of light, they will perceive time and its consequences- such as aging and boredom- much more slowly than when they are at rest.

The idea of altering the past or seeing the future before it's due intrigues a lot of people, but no one has ever shown how to travel back and forth in time like in science fiction, nor has anyone suggested a way to send someone through significant periods without destroying them in the process. Furthermore, physicist Stephen Hawking noted in his book "Black Holes and Baby Universes" (Bantam, 1994) that "the best evidence we have that time travel is not possible, and never will be, is that we have not been invaded by hordes of tourists from the future."
