Many other people on the internet claim to have used the time to make a stopover in the future or in the past.
Usually, those “time travelers” claim to come back from the long term with some sort of caution or a series of precautions about anything bad that might happen.
Their claims are often dubious at best.
However, that doesn’t mean that time is rarely very real. This also does not mean that no one has come to our time from the future.
“Time has captured the public’s attention for much of the last century, but little has been done to truly pursue chronometers,” an organization of physicists at Michigan Technological University wrote in a recent research paper. “Here, 3 implementations of web time seekers are described, all seeking a prophetic mention of information not available in the past.
“The first search examined premonitory content posted on the Internet, highlighted through an in-depth search of terms expressed in tweets on Twitter,” the scientists continued. “The then-proven prophetic queries submitted to a search engine, highlighted through a full search of quick search terms submitted to a popular astronomy website. The third request concerned a request for direct communication via the Internet, either by email or tweet, prior to the time of the survey.
Basically, they searched the web for data that would only have been known beforehand through a time traveler in the future, because it would be less difficult to determine than data shared from the past.
“Stories of bright comets like Comet ISON are well preserved in societies and journals around the world, indicating that Comet ISON will likely remain memorable in the future,” the researchers wrote. “In contrast, there is little explanation for someone without prescient data to refer to something as ‘Comet Ison’ before September 2012. Therefore, discussions or even mentions of ‘Comet ISON’ have been sought before September 2012. 2012 as potentially prophetic evidence of time travelers from the future.
Unfortunately, they found no evidence of time travel, but, they explain, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
“First, it would possibly be physically for time travelers to leave lasting remnants of their sojourn in the past, even adding remnants of non-corporeal data on the internet,” they wrote. “Then it could be physically for us to locate that data that would violate an as-yet-unknown law of physics, perhaps similar to the chronological coverage conjecture. In addition, time travelers would possibly not need to be tracked and would possibly be smart about covering their tracks.
Interestingly, in 2023, scientists managed to simulate time and showed that “paradox-free” time is theoretically possible.
