Is Time Travel For Real ?

10 Most Compelling Pieces Of Evidence That Prove Time Travel Exists

What we don't talk about when we talk about time travel.

What we talk about when we talk about time travel: going back to kill Hitler, Back To The Future, treading on butterflies causing irreparable damage to history, Doctor Who, whether or not it’s ethical to use it to cheat on the lottery or sports gambling or whatever, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. What we don’t talk about when we talk about time travel: whether it actually exists. Or will exist. Or has existed. We don’t know, this wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff kinda messes with our tenses a little. The idea of being able to travel backwards or forwards through history has appeared in countless forms through pop culture, conversation and daydreams for ages, but how come we don’t discuss whether it’ll actually ever be real?

Does it just seem too beyond the pale? Is the the idea of time travel so beyond the realms of possibility that we don’t even consider that it could be real? Well, we’re here with good news! Not from the future, sadly, just in the grimly predictable present. A grimly predictable present that includes quantum physics, Higgs Bosons and other science-y things we don’t quite understand but apparently have something to do with a conceivable way for us to travel through time. No less a genius than Stephen Hawking spent years looking for a reason that time travel couldn’t exist, only to find the concept didn’t contravene any laws of physics, eventually admitting “time travel may be possible, but it is not practical”.

Plus there’s that history of time travel in our culture has frequently strayed into the non-fiction – so long as you're inclined to believe the possible crackpots that are discussing it – all of which adds up to some pretty compelling pieces of evidence that prove time travel is real. Ten, in fact.

A Tiny Time Travelling Watch

In December 2008, Chinese archaeologists discovered a giant tomb that was believed to be an undisturbed, 400-year-old coffin of Si Qing in Shangsi County. That’s pretty old, you guys. Before they even managed to crack the lid and find out what was inside, however, they came across something even more amazing than a centuries-old bag of bones in the soil around the outside of the tomb: a small piece of golden metal, shaped like a watch, with the time frozen at 10:06, and the word “Swiss” was engraved on the back. A watch that couldn’t have been more than one hundred years old. So how did it end up embedded in the soil of an ancient, undisturbed tomb?

We’ll tell you, pals. It’s time travel. At least that’s the conclusion that the world’s media came to when the story broke a few years ago. We’re pretty interested as to how the watch in question go to be so miniscule – something to do with quarks, we imagine (because we don't know what quarks are) – but also how a watch from the last century ended up bundled with a coffin dating back to the Ming Dynasty (the 15th-16th Century).

The plot thickens since, apparently, there was a ban on flashy jewelry around that time in Geneva, so the idea it may actually be watch would make sense, because they were considered as an essential, practical accessory rather than decoration. There’s no record anywhere of watches being popular in Europe until after 1780, though, so what’s the deal? Guy with a tiny watch travelled back in time, mucked around with some old Chinese dude’s grave, then dropped his watch on the way out? Also: he was tiny for some reason? Continue Reading...HERE
