The story of John Titor and other cases of time travel.

1. · In 1912, during the movement of the train from London to Glasgow, a man appeared out of nowhere in his hands who had a long whip and a bitten piece of bread.

In the first minutes he was in shock, the passengers of the train could not calm him down. Recovering, the man said: “I am Pimp Drake, a coachman from Chetnam. Where I am? Where am I?".

Drake claimed to be from the 18th century. A few minutes later he disappeared back. Specialists from the National Museum confidently asserted that the objects that remained after the arrival of an alien from the past belong to the end of the 18th century.

As a result, it turned out that such a village really exists, and moreover, that the coachman Pimp Drake, who was born in the middle of the 18th century, worked in it.

2. NYPD Files: In November 1956, an unidentified man was run over on Broadway. The driver and witnesses claimed that he appeared out of nowhere.

In his pocket, they found an identity card and business cards, on which it was written where he lives, that he works as a traveling salesman, and so on.

The police found such a person in the archive and interviewed relatives and people who lived nearby. An old woman was found who claimed that her father disappeared about 60 years ago in unknown circumstances: he went for a walk along Broadway and did not return.

A picture taken in 1884 of her father fully confirmed that this was the man who was hit by a car.

3. A few years ago, a certain Andrew Carl-sin was arrested in New York on charges of fraud.

Having invested less than a thousand dollars in shares, after 2 weeks he earned 350 million dollars on the stock exchange.

It is noteworthy that the trading operations performed by him initially did not promise a win at all. The state authorities accused Karlsin of illegally obtaining information profitable for himself, since they did not find other arguments for such a startling result.

Although all experts agree that even having full information about the companies where he invested money, it is impossible to earn so much and for such a period
However, during interrogation, Karlsin unexpectedly stated that he allegedly appeared from the year 2256 and, having information about all banking operations over the past years, decided to enrich himself.

He categorically refused to show his time machine, but made a tempting offer for the authorities - to announce several important upcoming events that will happen soon in the world, including the whereabouts of Bin Laden and the invention of a cure for AIDS ...

According to unverified reports, someone posted a million dollar bail for him to get him out of prison, after which Karlsin disappeared and, apparently, forever ...

4. A strange incident occurred in a small California town in the summer of 1936. On his street was an old-fashioned dressed, unknown to anyone, frightened old woman.

She literally shied away from the passers-by offering her help. Her unusual outfit and strange behavior attracted the curious: after all, in this town everyone knew each other, and the appearance of such a colorful figure did not go unnoticed.

When the old woman saw people gathering around her, she looked around with despair and confusion and suddenly disappeared in front of dozens of eyewitnesses.

5. Time jokes badly not only with individuals, it can also do very impressive objects.

American parapsychologists claim that the Pentagon classified a striking incident that happened to one of the submarines.

The submarine was in the waters of the infamous Bermuda Triangle, when it suddenly disappeared, literally moments later, a signal from it was received already from ... the Indian Ocean.

However, this incident with the submarine was not limited only to its movement in space over a huge distance, there was also a rather significant time travel: the crew of the submarine literally aged 20 years in tens of seconds.

6. Even more terrible accidents sometimes happen to airplanes.

In 1997, the W. W. News” told about the mysterious DC-4 aircraft that landed in Caracas (Venezuela) in 1992.

This plane was seen by airport employees, although it did not give any mark on the radar. Soon managed to contact the pilot. In a surprised and even frightened voice, the pilot announced that he was operating a charter flight 914 from New York to Miami with 54 passengers on board and was due to land at 9:55 am on June 2, 1955, at the end he asked: "Where are we?"

The dispatchers, stunned by the pilot's message, told him that he was over the airport in Caracas and gave permission to land.

The pilot did not answer, but during the landing everyone heard his surprised exclamation: "Jimmy! What the hell is this!” The surprise of the American pilot was clearly caused by a jet plane taking off at that time ...

The mysterious plane landed safely, its pilot was breathing heavily, finally he said: "Something is wrong here". When informed that he had landed on May 21, 1992, the pilot exclaimed: "Oh my God!"

They tried to calm him down, they said that a ground team was already heading towards him. However, seeing airport employees next to the plane, the pilot shouted: "Don't come near! We're leaving here!"

The ground crew saw the amazed faces of the passengers in the windows, and the DC-4 pilot opened the glass in his cockpit and waved some kind of magazine at them, demanding that they do not approach the aircraft.

He started the engines, the plane took off and disappeared. Did he manage to get there in time? Unfortunately, the further fate of the crew and passengers of the aircraft is unknown, since the magazine did not report on any historical investigation of this case.

As evidence of this unusual incident at the Caracas airport, there was a recording of negotiations with a DC-4 and a calendar for 1955 that fell out of a magazine that the pilot was waving ...

7. A resident of Sevastopol, retired naval officer Ivan Pavlovich Zalygin has been studying the problem of time travel for the last fifteen years.

The captain of the second rank became interested in this phenomenon after a very curious and mysterious incident that happened to him in the late 80s of the last century in the Pacific Ocean, while serving as deputy commander of a diesel submarine.

During one of the training trips in the area of ​​the La Perouse Strait, the boat got into a severe thunderstorm. The submarine commander decided to take a surface position.

As soon as the ship surfaced, the sailor on duty reported that he saw an unidentified floating craft right on the course.

It soon becomes clear that a Soviet submarine stumbled upon a lifeboat in neutral waters, in which the submariners found a half-dead frostbitten man in ... the uniform of a Japanese military sailor during the Second World War.

When examining personal belongings of the rescued, a premium parabellum was found, as well as documents issued on September 14, 1940.

After the report to the base command, the boat was ordered to go to the port of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, where counterintelligence was already waiting for the Japanese military sailor.

GRU officers took a non-disclosure agreement from the team members for the next ten years.

8. In 1966, three brothers were walking in the early New Year's morning along one of the streets of Glasgow. Suddenly, 19-year-old Alex disappeared in front of his older brothers. All attempts to find him were unsuccessful. Alex disappeared without a trace and was never seen again.

9. A photo in the virtual Bralorne Pioneer Museum called the rather boring title “Reopening of the South Fork Bridge after flood in Nov. 1940. 1941 (?)” was a minor sensation.

The public claims that it depicts a time traveler. The reason for this was some features of his clothes and a portable camera in his hands: he is wearing sunglasses, which were not worn in the 40s, a T-shirt with an advertising logo, a sweater in the fashion of the 21st century, a hairstyle that was not done in those days and portable camera.

10 John Titor - The Time Traveler Who Predicted War

John Titor is a man from the future who has been appearing on the Internet since 2000 on forums, blogs and various sites. John claimed to be a time traveler and arrived here from the year 2036.

He was originally sent in 1975 to collect information about the IBM-5100 computer, as his grandfather worked on the creation of this computer and programmed on it, but he stopped in 2000 for personal reasons. On the forums, he talked about future events. Some of them have already happened: the war in Iraq, the conflict in the US in the presidential elections of 2004 and 2008. He also talked about the third world war.

This is what the bleak future of our planet looks like: a second civil war will split America into 5 factions with a new capital in Omaha. In 2017, the third world war will break out, the result of which will be the loss of three billion people.

Then, to top it all off, there will be a computer glitch that will destroy the world we are used to. That is, it will be so if a brave time traveler does not overcome the space-time continuum to change the course of history.

It was at the end of 2000. A poster on various forums took on the web aliases "TimeTravel_0" and "John Titor", and claimed to be a soldier sent from 2036, the year a computer virus destroyed the world. His mission was to return to 1975 to find and capture an IBM 5100 computer that had everything needed to fight the virus (and he went to 2000 to meet his 3-year-old self, ignoring the paradox of the very fabric of time from stories about time travel).

For the next four months, Titor answered all the questions the other participants had, describing future events in the spirit of poetic phrases, and always pointing out that other realities exist, and our reality may not be his own.

Between grim exhortations to learn how to give first aid and not eat beef - in his reality, mad cow disease was a serious threat - Titor, using extremely difficult algorithms, uncovered some of the technical aspects of how time travel works and provided grainy photos of his time machine.

On March 24, 2001, Titor gave his last piece of advice ("Take a gas can with you when you leave your car on the side of the road"), logged out for good, and drove back. Since then, he has not appeared again.

Titor's story from a time when we were all so innocent, less than 15 years ago, just before everything started to change. And the legend of Tithor persists in part because no one has ever claimed to be its creator.

Since the mystery is not solved, the legend continues. "The John Titor story is popular because some of the stories just get popular," says writer and producer Brian Denning, who specializes in Titor.

Among all the stories about ghosts, demonic voices, swindle or rumors circulating on the Internet, something is becoming popular. Why shouldn't stories about Titor become so popular. Although there is (tiny, almost scientifically impossible) and one more possibility.

"One of the clues to Titor," writes Temporal Recon in an email, "is to admit the possibility that time travel might be true."

The great thing about time travel is that history cannot be refuted. If events don't happen the way the time traveler said, it's because he changed the course of history.

And one more thing... if this man John Titor wanted to be promoted, then why did he disappear forever?! Whether the special services took him away or whether he went back is a mystery.

Time travel has been talked about since the dawn of science fiction. But it is one thing when science fiction writers write about such cases, and quite another when ordinary people talk about them. Moreover, there are many such stories, and some are even confirmed by documentary evidence.

The real facts of time travel

Man hit by a car

A similar case was described by the NYPD in November 1952. Traffic accident on Broadway. A man is killed by a car. There doesn't seem to be anything strange. But the driver and passengers of the car claimed that the man appeared on the road quite suddenly. The clothes of the deceased and his documents caused even greater surprise among the arriving law enforcement officers. The identity card had been personally issued over eighty years ago, and the address on the business cards included a street that had been removed half a century ago. The diligent police officers found with difficulty, but in the archives, references to the gentleman with such an identity card, then found the daughter of the indicated person, already at that time an old woman. The old woman showed a photo of her father, who disappeared seventy years ago on Broadway. And the same man who was hit by a car was looking at the police from the photo.

Student and cemetery

A certain student from Switzerland was studying in Paris. On a May day off, the girl decided to go to the park of one of the suburbs of the capital. In the park, she found a quiet place where she sat on a bench with a book. Suddenly the light began to fade, and the girl looked up from her reading, assuming that it was the clouds that blocked the sun before the rain. But her eyes met something unimaginable. Instead of a park in front of her, there was a cemetery with many graves. The confused student left the book and took a few steps forward. Suddenly, in the distance, she saw a group of people in unusual clothes walking towards her. The procession was led by a priest, followed by several women and men who carried the coffin. The girl got scared and ran back. Around her again was a sun-drenched park, and on a bench lay an abandoned book. Later, the student found out that during the plague epidemic in the 14th century, a cemetery was made on the site of this park.

The man who was struck by lightning

It is worth mentioning the inhabitant of foggy Albion. It all happened during a thunderstorm when lightning struck next to Mr. Peter Williams working in his garden. He lost consciousness, and when he woke up, he found himself in an unfamiliar place. Having found people, the victim asked to be taken to the hospital, which was immediately done. After spending a couple of days in the hospital, Mr. Williams decided to go for a walk, but his trousers were in a terrible state. Then the man who was in the same room with him offered to help and gave him his corduroy trousers, which were practically new. Having gone out for a walk, the Englishman returned to the place where he had found help two days before, and having gone further, he found himself near his own house. Of course, after returning home, Williams immediately went to the hospital to return the trousers to their owner. He found the clinic pretty quickly, but no one was waiting for him there. Both the doctor and the nurse were the same, but they did not recognize their recent patient. However, the patient himself noticed that these two had changed, as if they had grown old. The roommate could not be found at all. Moreover, even in the registry there was no evidence of a patient like Williams. The last argument was the trousers, because of which the man returned to the hospital. But even here a discovery awaited him. These trousers have long gone out of fashion, and therefore they were removed from mass production. This prompted the stubborn Englishman to visit the factory that produced the trousers. There he found old workers who, after examining Williams' unwitting acquisition, reported that such clothes had ceased to be produced more than 20 years ago.

At all times, man dreamed of conquering time and space. Moreover, when some tried to do it technologically, others were looking for spiritual paths, when it would be possible to move in time and space over long distances without the help of any technical means. This article contains many legends, rumors and facts about such attempts.

Perhaps the theory of human movement in time and space originated back in 1913 after the publication of the work of the French mathematician Eli Cartan, when in his report the academician suggested the existence of rotation fields in nature. And now no one rejects such confirmation of his words, which can often be seen in the nature around us, if you look closely.

But the very idea of ​​a plurality of inhabited worlds appeared much later, somewhere in 1957, when the American physicist Hugh Everett first scientifically substantiated it in his doctoral dissertation. All the worlds, in his opinion, are nested one into another, like a Russian nesting doll, so they can be inside us, and not just on distant stars.

Energy fields of rotation are present everywhere in our life, and their main feature is the ability not only to transfer information, but also the ability to influence time. That is, torsion fields are the basis of the connection of the information field of the Universe, which gives the key to the possibility of moving a person in space. For them, there are no time limits, so the signals from objects, thanks to them, can be perceived directly from the past, present or future. A person is able to directly perceive and transform such torsion fields, as well as any other information he needs, directly through his brain, where "Time" is an integral part of all processes and at the same time the main driving force of everything that happens, since all processes in nature occur with the release of time or its absorption.

In the real structure of the picture of the world, there is an information field containing data about everything that can exist, what was and what will be. And torsion fields communicate with this information field, which in Western terminology is called the "Field of Consciousness". Our brain, as a sensitive device, interacts with torsion fields that carry information and therefore is able to use the knowledge that is in the information field of the Universe for its daily needs.

The strongest stressful states can cause irreversible processes and changes in the frequency of the atomic and molecular basis of a biological object, as a whole or in separate parts, are the result of a significant increase in the speed of rotation of electrons around the nucleus of atoms, and hence a change in a person’s own resonance and changes in his psychophysical and emotional parameters. Moreover, an increase in the frequency of its own resonance beyond 13.5 Hz opens up the possibility for a biological object to move in time and space at the same time!

Here are a number of other widely known facts from recent history.

More recently, in our history, in Indonesia, there was a separate tribe of Lukai, whose lifestyle contributed to the fact that they had a certain problem with the thyroid gland. This contributed to a change in their skin, which allowed them to stay in sea water for a very long time and freely extract pearls. The local colonialists took advantage of this and turned the Lukai into real, completely disenfranchised slaves, who were even kept chained on the seashore.

Of course, in such conditions, you won’t live long without stress, which did not take long to affect individual, weaker people of this tribe. And then, when their own resonance increased significantly, the same energetically very "contagious" state instantly spread to the others, which led to an increase in the own resonance of the rest of the people of the tribe, up to a value of 15 Hz. This frequency, as an indicator of the well-being of a biological object, is actually outside the boundaries of our world, therefore, as soon as their physical bodies began to have this high rate, the entire tribe disappeared from our material world in an instant, leaving the oppressors on the beach, some hateful chains.

Thus, from the material world and from our field of vision, gradually disappeared all the other, numerous, representatives of our richest world, whom humanity brought by its persecution or merciless exploitation to the same stressful conditions. So gradually, they left or dissolved, in other worlds, and at the same time from our lives - dragons, mermaids, brownies, foresters, goblins, cyclops and many other heroes of our epics and folk epic. an>

Such a law of survival and development of all biological beings is still in effect, only we do not know it or have forgotten it, therefore, seemingly causeless conflicts and disagreements occur in our lives, arising almost from scratch. And everything is very simple - today, very often the magnetic component of the environment around us changes, in connection with 2012, which changed the resonance of individuals who do not follow their lifestyle and do not control their psychophysical state, which is why they began to think differently and therefore went across all, leading his world to destruction. Such people go with their own souls to other worlds, but still remaining a physical body in this world. Therefore, they become his enemies, trying to finally destroy him.

Gradually, they will move there completely, and our world will begin to recover from March next year, opening up a new perspective for those who deserve it, for the long term. At the same time, today, many people have discovered in themselves certain, new, previously hidden abilities, and began to possess superpowers, which allows the majority of the population to hope for better times. Since highly advanced people will be able to do, together and at the right time, what their inner knowledge was opened for, awakened by the nature of the constant development and improvement of civilization.

Let us return to the movements of people known from history. Even during the reign of Catherine II, a strange young man appeared in the capital, who claimed to have been born in the 20th century. He clearly suffered from mental disorders, but at the same time he spoke so convincingly that he was finally introduced to the empress. And the young man reported not only the date of her death, but also the year of the murder of Paul the First. At the same time, he spoke about the invasion of Napoleon and predicted the end of the Romanov dynasty. The angry empress expelled the charlatan vzashey, but all the "tales" came true exactly.

Unproven scientifically, but recorded by witnesses, such movements happen, from time to time. And here are a few more.

In our time, on Easter Island, located in the Pacific Ocean, during the development of a swamp, a skeleton of a medieval knight in full armor from the time of the Battle of Grunval, sitting on a horse, was found. This battle took place on July 15, 1410 between the army of the Teutonic Order and the combined forces of Poland, Lithuania and Northern Russia.

Again our days - a teenager of a strange appearance in the clothes of the XVI century, who spoke in the ancient Chinese dialect, showed up in Shanghai. In the police, he named the monastery, and at the same time the century in which he lived. After some time, the boy disappeared again, but historians in the monastery indicated by him found preserved records of the birth and death of local residents. They confirmed the disappearance, and then the return of the said teenager. The records cited his stories about unusual flying metal dragons, self-propelled carts and people in strange clothes. At the same time, the chronicles noted that the boy suffered from physical ailments and soon died.

And again modern China. During excavations of an ancient burial site of the imperial family of the Han Dynasty, which ruled the Celestial Empire in the 1st century AD, archaeologists discovered a Swiss wristwatch.

At the beginning of the last century in Mexico City, two brothers fell out of the window of a multi-storey building. In front of the astonished passers-by, one of them disappeared into the air, and the other died.

A reliable case of teleportation was also documented on October 25, 1593, when a bewildered soldier in foreign uniforms and with weapons in his hands appeared in the city of Mexico City from nowhere. Since the soldier spoke Spanish, he was able to find out that he served in a regiment located in the Philippines, 5,000 kilometers from Mexico. It turned out that the soldier was on duty at the governor's palace in Manila and experienced his misconduct, expecting severe punishment for improperly performed duties. But how he ended up in Mexico City, he does not know. Many months later, people who arrived from the Philippines confirmed exactly all the details of his story ...

Another similar case occurred with a nun named Maria from the Spanish city of Agreda, who, due to stress, in the 20s of the 17th century made several hundred spontaneous teleportations to America, where she managed to convert an entire tribe of Indians to Christianity. This was noted by subsequent missionaries, who were very surprised to meet natives who believed in Christ in such a remote place, since no white man had set foot here yet. It was possible to find out that they owe the acquisition of faith to the "woman in blue." The Indians showed the monks crosses, a rosary and a liturgical vessel for consecrating wine. Later it was established that the liturgical vessel was taken from the monastery in Agred. And when the missionaries returned to Spain, they met with the nun Maria, who confirmed everything that the missionaries had learned from the Indians.

There was only one thing in common in all these cases, the own resonance of each disappearing person sharply increased from a stressful situation - up to 15 Hz, for a specific physical body, during the movement, and then gradually dropped again to the lower limit of our world of 12 Hz and the person appeared in another space or time. All of them lived in different eras, but all, as one, suddenly and abruptly for their nervous balance, fell into a cruel psycho-stress situation caused by illness or the harshness of the environment. All of them were waiting for death or severe punishment, and therefore the stress was powerful and instantaneous, which led to a change in the psycho-emotional and physical state, as well as a sharp change in their own resonance, as an indicator characterizing the personal state of a person in space.

ticle" data-ad-format="fluid" data-ad-client="ca-pub-2780402512659492" data-ad-slot="5323142934">

A similar situation occurs when using Kozyrev's mirrors, which are a specially polished, to a mirror shine, sheet of aluminum coiled into a spiral, inside which a person is placed. Only one consciousness moves in it, since the own resonance of subtle bodies reaches 15 Hz, but the resonance of the human physical body lingers at the border of the indicator no more than 12 Hz. Therefore, a person can see and feel other worlds only with consciousness, without going beyond the borders of the transitional vestibule between our world and other worlds.

There is another interesting point here, which is already tied to the very shape of the spiral. Nobody ever talked about him. It depends on the folding side of the spiral itself, in which this sheet of aluminum is wrapped.

From here, completely different types of teleportation occur - to the lower or upper worlds, where the time of movement depends on the reaction of his nervous system to the movement and other psychophysical qualities, as well as his inner mental state. Therefore, a person with such teleportation can get into special "wandering zones", the place of which is not strictly fixed.

So, for example, in 1994, a Norwegian seiner found a baby in the sea, a girl who was tied to an old life buoy with the inscription "Titanic" and was very cold. It was found in the very place of the Atlantic Ocean, where the ill-fated ship sank in 1912. How did she get into our times? The child did not yet know how to speak, so it remains to be believed that the girl fell into a "hole in time", where the past and the future are somehow invisibly connected.

Here is another case. In the fall of 1880, David Lang, a resident of the US state of Tennessee, walked slowly along the path to the house through the field. His wife was waiting for him on the porch and looked at her husband. Suddenly, she saw that David simply vanished into thin air and disappeared before her eyes. At first she thought it was her imagination. But the most thorough searches did not give anything - the husband disappeared, and as if forever. However, even a few years later, on the field where David Lang disappeared into the air without a trace, a dark circle with a diameter of about 5 meters was clearly visible, on which nothing grew and there were no insects. And when Lang's children ventured inside the circle, they heard their father's faint voice, but did not understand what he was talking about. Only many years later, the widow Langa received a letter from her missing husband in the mail, who said that he was in a place called the afterlife by people, and that everything was in order with him ...

Based on the experience of my long-term practical work with people, I can say that a real physical person who is in direct contact with his environment merges with his information parameters into the information field of the Earth. If he is under stress, then with his new state he unintentionally charges everything around him with his high resonance and the new state of his psyche, especially living biological objects. These are not only people, but also pets with whom he has at least some, even temporary or very short contact.

When a person is under stress and exceeds, from this state, the parameter of his personal resonance over 13.5 Hz, located on the border of our world, there is a movement either in time and space, when the frequency of 15 Hz is reached, or simply in time, without changing space, when such a high frequency is not reached. Lower parameters of one's own resonance only lead to a simple departure from the visibility of our world into a parallel world, where a person gets stuck for some time, until he lowers his resonance to a value that allows him to return back. (These are frequencies in the frequency range from 0.1 to 13, Hz.) With a very rapid development of a stressful situation, a powerful subconscious of a person, tuned to inner harmony, in order to avoid mental overstrain, transfers him to calmer zones of the information field. Often doing this not physically, but only in a subtle or purely energetic quality, as a result of which an unintentional spontaneous movement of a person in time and space or simply in space occurs.

Moreover, these changes are so strong that in the case of a knight, even the horse on which the rider was sitting was transmitted. Moreover, such facts are not isolated, since statistics voice many sad facts - the world's population is declining by about two million people every year. And, they did not pass into the other world for natural reasons - they inexplicably simply disappeared, as if dissolved. Traces of about half of the people are found over time - someone's life was cut short by an accident, someone was lost of his own free will, others were not lucky enough to become a victim of crime, and someone was unlucky enough to face a natural disaster.

But there is still a million people about whom, neither rumor nor spirit, forever. This happens annually throughout the Earth and, most likely, the mournful account will be replenished. Here's how it goes.

Like through the ground. In Italy, in the Sicilian city of Tacona, there is a place with a bad reputation. You understand, they don't give the name "Devil's Trap" just like that. That's how it was. In the middle of the 18th century, there lived an artisan Alberto Gordoni, a respected and respectable man, not some kind of heliporter. One day he decided to take a walk around his native estate in exceptionally pleasant company. On the right hand is his beloved wife, on the left - the kind Count Zenetti, and a few friends.

A leisurely conversation, appropriate jokes, everything is decorous and noble, and suddenly Alberto threw out a trick that one would expect from a beardless youth, but not from the father of the family - he took it and disappeared out of the blue. That's exactly what is on the level - no hole for you, no secret passage. How excited everyone is! The wife, of course, fainted, but Count Zenetti did not lose his head. He ordered the yard people to arm themselves with shovels and dig up the ill-fated site.

Of course, the excavations did not give any results, they found only sherds and an old shoe. But Alberto appeared in his native estate after 22 years. The astonished domestics exclaimed: "Oh-la! Signor, where have you been? Signora cried all her eyes, you seemed to have sunk into the water!" And Alberto's eyes widened: "Hey, are you drunk on grappas? I didn't disappear anywhere!" For these words, Gordoni landed in a lunatic asylum and for seven years the artisan stayed in the house of sorrow and sorrow, seven years among screeching fools, slobbering idiots and meaningless eyes. And he never spoke to anyone about where he had been walking for two decades. Until a doctor named Mario spoke to him, a kind and sympathetic man. It was to him that Alberto revealed the secret. Everything looked simple, he said. And quickly - well, think about it, disappeared for a couple of hours, got out after all! And here, for some reason, everyone goggles and talks about some 22 years. Also crazy, they should be in a cage!

It was a tunnel, long and dark. Alberto walked for a long, long time, calling to his fellow travelers, but the answer was silence. Suddenly a dull and dim light dawned ahead, towards which the Italian went. The picture that opened my eyes did not clarify anything, some unknown landscape, everything is full of dots and holes, flickering every now and then. And then another tunnel. This time, Alberto met a shaggy creature, which enlightened Gordoni that he had fallen into a crevice of time and space. And there is almost no way back. They told about a certain woman, a real storyteller, apparently. She told the prisoner of the tunnel about some drops and particles moving at lightning speed, about outlandish cities where all the inhabitants are eternally young and immortal. And then the tunnel took pity and "spit out" Alberto back - exactly to the place where he disappeared from.

The doctor believed Alberto's story and decided to return with him to the scene. When they found themselves in the courtyard of the artisan's house and approached the place described, a terrible thing happened again. Gordoni took one step and "dived" again, as for the first time, but now forever. After this incident, Dr. Mario, believing in the machinations of the Devil, ordered to build a wall around this place and called it the Devil's Trap.

Again Italy, Rome, July 14, 1911. Pandemonium on the station platform. Wealthy audiences fan themselves, sip lemonade and sangria, straighten their hats and smoke fragrant cigars. Young ladies excitedly clamor: "Mamma Mia, well, when ?!" The reason for the general fuss delights and intrigues: more than a hundred rich lucky people are about to go on a railway cruise, to see the sights of the new road. Oh, rather! Reporters are scribbling essays, commanding officials from the Sanetti company, which arranged this wonderful tour, proudly and dignifiedly bow to the voyagers ... And next to it, ordinary townspeople, homelessness and small things dealers do not take their envious glances away from those who are heading for a walk. If only I could be in their place, Blessed Virgin, why is everything for one and nothing for the other? ..

If they knew that there was nothing to envy here, but to feel sorry for the poor fellow travelers, it was just right for them. Everything happened incredibly fast and at the same time terribly slow. Before entering the super-long tunnel under Lombardy, tourists saw a strange fog, viscous, milky white. A couple of desperate heads found the natural phenomenon ominous and did not want "this abyss to swallow" them. And they jumped out of a train going nowhere, as it seemed to them. It was they who told what happened to the three-car train.

Eyewitness testimony was more than valuable: the train did not arrive at its destination. And no matter how combed the tunnel, it was not possible to find any traces of the collapse of the train, or human remains. And now information for reflection - after many years, the runaway train flashed into Mexico City, rushed past the central station, buzzed alarmingly and was the only one seen.

At the same time, the Mexican psychiatrist José Saxino described a strange case from practice, when 104 Italians were admitted to him in a psychiatric hospital within a week. These black-headed Mediterraneans were saying the same thing - they came to Mexico by train. Insane, what can I say! An equally mysterious story can be found in the archives of the New York police.

In November 1952, an unknown man was killed by a car on Broadway in the evening. The driver and witnesses assured that the victim "appeared on the street suddenly, as if fallen from above." The police noticed that the deceased was wearing an old-fashioned suit. They were even more surprised by the identity card issued 80 years ago. In the pocket of the victim, business cards were also found indicating the profession - a traveling salesman. One of the detectives checked the address on the business card and learned that this street had been renamed more than half a century ago...

Here is the continuation - in the old police archive they checked the lists of residents of this area at the end of the last century. There they found a mysterious traveling salesman - both the surname and the address coincided with the details of the business card. All people with this surname living in New York were interviewed. They found an old woman who said that her father disappeared 70 years ago under mysterious circumstances: he went for a walk along Broadway and did not return.

She presented the police with a photograph in which a young man, remarkably similar to a man who was hit by a car, was holding a girl in his arms with a smile. The date was stamped on the picture: April 1884... In our time of pragmatism and general skepticism, disappearances of people systematically continue. The police even have the term "lost".

And there are also strange finds: suddenly, in some city or village, “Ivan, who does not remember kinship” appears. That is, a person with an absolutely erased memory of relatives and friends, where he comes from, what, they don’t even remember the name of their poor fellow. The luminaries of psychiatry are engaged in them, however, the successes are insignificant: a few remember events from childhood, but they don’t know what happened to them in recent weeks and months.

There are no clues to the phenomenon of the disappearance of people today, there are only versions and hypotheses. They all revolve around one thing: we don't know anything about time yet. Apparently, it is not a constant value. And the Earth is full of places with anomalous chronometry. These are not some black holes similar to tornado funnels that move according to laws we do not understand and suck in various objects, animals and even people, like air or water hurricanes.

Such a theory of black wandering holes does not explain any riddles, everything is completely different. All events and other information about a person is clearly recorded in the information field of the Earth and therefore it can always be identified, studied, and if he is in our Universe, using only his name or description of appearance, you can change the situation. At the same time, he can always be provided with all the necessary medical care in any required format without personal contact.

Despite the fact that the internal psycho-emotional and physical parameters of different people vary greatly, or at the same time there may be some failures in the DNA program, but still, the simple laws of physics, taking into account the laws of energy of the hemisphere in which the person is in an altered state, can always to transform it with one correctly formulated mental sending of a specially designed treatment program.

Such programs can contain a huge mass of various attachments - subprograms and can be freely transmitted over any distance, both in time and in space. When the patient's own resonance changes, according to the method of Informational Medicine, when his internal vibrational processes calm down, coming to some pre-selected norm, the person immediately materializes in the physical reality to which his own resonance belongs.

The same process may be different - the opposite, but this is a completely different topic and has nothing to do with medicine, which is why I don’t deal with it, although such a procession may seem more interesting to someone. All such things are very dangerous in the unskilled hands of selfish people.

It is known that modern academic science, despite all its achievements, cannot explain these phenomena, since they refer to a different reality, while science deals with laws that relate exclusively to the physical world. From here, scientists deliberately do not give any definition of the information field, although a lot of scientific evidence and facts have been accumulated, but it is easier for most materially interested people to live this way, and there is no need to relearn when you have already reached a certain level of inner comfort and everything suits you.

Therefore, those who have somehow established themselves in science are always against any advanced direction and immediately go on the attack, crushing with their sometimes completely unconfirmed authority. The same has happened with so many inventions of our time. This is the transmission of electricity through the air and a car engine on plain water, and many other inventions.

A simple example, quite already of our time, is a household washing machine, the production of which was tried to be established under Brezhnev. The machine washed without any fancy powders or other soaps - just in cold water alone and in a very short period of time. It was an absolutely ecological product with a very simple principle of operation. But the developers of this product were inextricably pursued by tragic accidents, and the plant itself burned to the ground several times in a row, despite the high patronage of the Secretary General himself, having managed to produce only one small batch of products.

With a sensation: scientists managed to prove that it is possible to move in time ... So, according to the research of the Israeli scientist Amos Ori, time travel is scientifically substantiated. And at present, world science already has the necessary theoretical knowledge to be able to assert that in theory it is possible to create a time machine. The mathematical calculations of the Israeli scientist were published in one of the specialized publications. Ori concludes that the creation of a time machine requires the presence of gigantic gravitational forces. The scientist based his research on the conclusions made back in 1947 by his colleague Kurt Gödel, the essence of which is that the theory of relativity does not deny the existence of certain models of space and time. According to Ori's calculations, the ability to travel into the past arises if the curved space-time structure is shaped into a funnel or ring. At the same time, each new coil of this structure will carry the person further into the past. In addition, according to the scientist, the gravitational forces necessary for the implementation of such temporary travel are probably located near the so-called black holes, the first mention of which dates back to the 18th century. One of the scientists (Pierre Simon Laplace) put forward a theory about the existence of cosmic bodies that are invisible to the human eye, but have such high gravity that not a single light beam is reflected from them. The beam needs to overcome the speed of light in order to be reflected from such a cosmic body, but it is known that it is impossible to overcome it. The boundaries of black holes are called event horizons. Each object that reaches it gets inside, and it is not visible from the outside what is happening inside the hole. Probably, the laws of physics cease to operate in it, temporal and spatial coordinates change places. Thus, the spatial journey becomes a journey through time.

Despite this highly detailed and significant study, there is no evidence that time travel is real. However, no one has been able to prove that this is just a fiction. At the same time, throughout the history of mankind, a huge number of facts have been accumulated that indicate that time travel is still real. So, in the ancient chronicles of the era of the pharaohs, the Middle Ages, and then the French Revolution and world wars, the appearance of strange machines, people and mechanisms was recorded.

In May 1828, a teenager was caught in Nuremberg. Despite a thorough investigation and 49 volumes of the case, as well as portraits sent all over Europe, it turned out to be impossible to find out his identity, just like the places where the boy came from. He was given the name Kaspar Hauser, and he had incredible abilities and habits: the boy saw perfectly in the dark, but did not know what fire and milk were. He died from an assassin's bullet, and his identity has remained a mystery. However, there were suggestions that before the appearance in Germany, the boy lived in a completely different world.

In 1897, a very unusual incident occurred on the streets of the Siberian town of Tobolsk. At the end of August, a man of strange appearance and no less strange behavior was detained there. The man's surname is Krapivin. When he was taken to the police station and began to be interrogated, everyone was surprised by the information that the man shared: according to him, he was born in 1965 in Angarsk, and worked as a PC operator. The man could not explain his appearance in the city in any way, however, according to him, shortly before that, he felt a severe headache, after which he lost consciousness. Waking up, Krapivin saw an unfamiliar town. To examine a strange man, a doctor was called to the police station, who diagnosed him with “quiet insanity”. After that, Krapivin was placed in a local lunatic asylum.

In 1901, two English women went to Paris for the Easter holidays. The women were in awe of the architecture. During a tour of the Palace of Versailles, they decided to independently explore the most secluded corners, and in particular, the house of Marie Antoinette, which is located on the territory of the palace. But since the women did not have a detailed plan, they simply got lost. Soon they met two men who were dressed in 18th century costumes. The tourists asked for directions, but instead of helping, the men looked at them strangely and pointed in an indefinite direction. After some time, the women again met strange people. This time it was a young woman with a girl, also dressed in old-fashioned clothes. The women this time did not suspect anything unusual until they came across another group of people dressed in ancient clothes. These people spoke in an unfamiliar dialect of French. Soon the women realized that their own appearance caused amazement and bewilderment of those present. However, one of the men pointed them in the right direction. When the tourists reached their destination, they were amazed not by the house itself, but by the sight of the lady who sat next to it and made sketches in the album. She was very beautiful, in a powdered wig, a long dress, which was worn by aristocrats of the 18th century. And only then did the Englishwomen finally realize that they were in the past. Soon the landscape changed, the vision disappeared, and the women swore to each other not to tell anyone about their journey. However, later, in 1911, they jointly wrote a book about the experience.

In 1924, British Royal Air Force pilots were forced to make an emergency landing in Iraq. Their footprints were clearly visible in the sand, but they soon broke off. The pilots were never found, although in the area where the incident occurred, there were no quicksands, no sandstorms, no abandoned wells ...

In 1930, a country doctor named Edward Moon was returning home after visiting his patient, Lord Edward Carson, who lived in Kent. The Lord was very ill, so the doctor visited him every day and knew the area well. One day, Moon, walking outside the estate of his patient, noticed that the area looked a little different than before. Instead of a road, there was a muddy path that led through deserted meadows. While the doctor was trying to understand what had happened, he met a strange man who was walking a little ahead. He was dressed somewhat old-fashioned and carried an ancient musket. The man also noticed the doctor and stopped, obviously in amazement. When Moon turned around to look at the estate, the mysterious wanderer disappeared and the entire landscape returned to normal.

During the battles for the liberation of Estonia, which were fought throughout 1944, not far from the Gulf of Finland, a tank reconnaissance battalion commanded by Troshin came across a strange group of cavalrymen dressed in historical uniforms in the forest. When the cavalry saw the tanks, they fled. As a result of the persecution, one of the strange people was detained. He spoke exclusively in French, so he was mistaken for a soldier of the allied army. The cavalryman was taken to the headquarters, but everything he told shocked both the translator and the officers. The cavalryman claimed that he was a cuirassier of the Napoleonic army, and that the remnants of it were trying to get out of the encirclement after the retreat from Moscow. The soldier also said that he was born in 1772. The next day, the mysterious cavalryman was taken away by employees of the special department ...

Another similar story is connected with the Kola Peninsula. For many centuries there was a legend that the highly developed civilization of Hyperborea was located there. In the 1920s, an expedition was sent there, supported by Dzerzhinsky himself. The group headed by Kondiaina and Barchenko went to the area of ​​Lovozero and Seydozero in 1922. All materials on the return of the expedition were classified, and Barchenko was later repressed and shot. No one knows the details of the expedition, however, local residents say that during the search a strange hole was discovered underground, but incomprehensible fear and horror prevented scientists from penetrating there. Local residents also do not risk using these caves, because one may not return from them. And besides, there is a legend that near them they have repeatedly seen either a caveman or a snowman. This story, perhaps, would have remained classified if, as a result of intrigues, it had not got into Western publications.

One pilot of the NATO troops told reporters about a strange story that happened to him. It all happened in May 1999. The plane took off from the NATO base in Holland, carrying out the task of monitoring the actions of the parties in conflict with the Yugoslav war. When the plane was flying over Germany, the pilot suddenly saw a group of fighters that were moving straight at him. But they were all strange. Flying closer, the pilot saw that it was the German Messerschmites. The pilot did not know what to do, because his plane was not equipped with weapons. However, he soon saw that the German fighter had come under the sight of the Soviet fighter. The vision lasted for a few seconds, then everything disappeared.

There is other evidence of past penetrations that have taken place in the air. So, in 1976, the Soviet pilot V. Orlov said that he personally saw how ground military operations were being conducted under the wing of the MiG-25 aircraft he piloted. According to the descriptions of the pilot, he was an eyewitness to the battle that took place in 1863 near Gettysburg.

In 1985, one of the NATO pilots, taking off from a NATO base located in Africa, saw a very strange picture: below, instead of a desert, he saw savannahs with a lot of trees and dinosaurs grazing on the lawns. Soon the vision disappeared.

In 1986, the Soviet pilot A.Ustimov, in the course of a mission, discovered that he was over Ancient Egypt. According to him, he saw one pyramid, which was completely built, as well as the foundations of others, around which many people were swarming.

In the late 80s of the last century, captain of the second rank, military sailor Ivan Zalygin got into a very interesting and mysterious story. It all started with the fact that his diesel submarine got into a severe lightning storm. The captain decided to surface, but as soon as the ship took the surface position, the watchman reported that an unidentified floating craft was right on the course. It turned out to be a rescue boat in which Soviet sailors found a military man in the form of a Japanese sailor during the Second World War. During a search of this man, documents were found that were issued back in 1940. As soon as the incident was reported, the captain received an order to proceed to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, where counterintelligence representatives were already waiting for the Japanese sailor. Members of the team took a non-disclosure agreement for the fact of the find for a period of ten years.

The mysterious story happened in 1952 in New York. In November, an unidentified man was hit on Broadway. His body was taken to the morgue. The police were surprised that the young man was dressed in ancient clothes, and in the pocket of his trousers were found the same old watch and a knife made at the beginning of the century. However, the surprise of the police knew no bounds when they saw a certificate issued about 8 decades ago, as well as business cards indicating the profession (traveling salesman). After checking the address, it was possible to establish that the street indicated in the documents has not existed for about half a century. As a result of the investigation, it was possible to find out that the deceased was the father of one of the long-livers of New York, who disappeared for about 70 years during an ordinary walk. To prove her words, the woman showed a photo: it had the date - 1884, and the photo itself showed a man who died under the wheels of a car in the same strange suit.

In 1954, after popular unrest in Japan, a man was detained during passport control. All his documents were in order, except that they were issued by the non-existent state of Tuared. The man himself claimed that his country is located on the African continent between French Sudan and Mauritania. Moreover, he was amazed when he saw that Algiers was in the place of his Tuared. True, the Tuareg tribe really lived there, but it never had sovereignty.

In 1980, a young man disappeared in Paris after his car was covered in a bright, glowing foggy ball. A week later, he appeared at the same place where he disappeared, but at the same time he thought that he was absent for only a few minutes.

In 1985, on the first day of the new school year, second-grader Vlad Geineman played "war" with his friends at recess. To knock the "enemy" off the trail, he dived into the nearest doorway. However, when a few seconds later the boy jumped out of there, he did not recognize the school yard - it was completely empty. The boy rushed to the school, but he was stopped by his stepfather, who had been looking for him for a long time to take him home. As it turned out, more than an hour and a half had passed since he decided to hide. But Vlad himself did not remember what happened to him during this time.

An equally strange story happened to the Englishman Peter Williams. According to him, he got into some strange place during a thunderstorm. After a lightning strike, he lost consciousness, and when he came to, he found that he was lost. After walking along a narrow road, he managed to stop the car and ask for help. The man was taken to the hospital. After some time, the young man's health improved, and he could already go for a walk. But since his clothes were completely ruined, the roommate lent him his. When Peter went out into the garden, he realized that he was in the place where he was overtaken by a thunderstorm. Williams wanted to thank the medical staff and a kind neighbor. He managed to find a hospital, but no one recognized him there, and all the clinic staff looked much older. There were no records of Peter's admission in the registration book, as well as a roommate. When the man remembered the trousers, he was told that they were an outdated model that had been out of production for over 20 years!

In 1991, one railway worker saw that a train was coming from the side of the old branch, where not even the rails were left: a steam locomotive and three wagons. It was of a very strange appearance, and clearly not of Russian production. The train passed the worker and left in the direction in which Sevastopol was located. Information about this incident was even published in one of the publications in 1992. It contained data that back in 1911 a pleasure train left Rome, in which there were a large number of passengers. He got into a thick fog, and then drove into the tunnel. He was not seen again. The tunnel itself was filled with stones. Perhaps they would have forgotten about this if the train had not appeared in the Poltava region. Many scientists then put forward the version that this train somehow managed to pass through time. Some of them attribute this ability to the fact that almost at the same time when the train set off, a powerful earthquake occurred in Italy, as a result of which large cracks appeared not only on the surface of the earth, but also in the chronological field.

In 1994, a ten-month-old girl was discovered by a Norwegian fishing boat in the Atlantic's northern waters. She was very cold, but she was alive. The girl was tied to a life buoy, on which there was an inscription - "Titanic". It is worth noting that the baby was found exactly where the famous ship sank in 1912. Of course, it was simply impossible to believe in the reality of what was happening, but when they raised the documents, they really found a 10-month-old child on the Titanic passenger list. There are other pieces of evidence related to this ship. So, some sailors claimed that they saw the ghost of the sinking Titanic. According to some scientists, the ship fell into the so-called time trap, in which people can disappear without a trace, and then appear in a completely unexpected place.

The list of disappearances can be continued for a very, very long time. It makes no sense to mention all of them, because most of them are similar to each other. Almost always, time travel is irreversible, but sometimes it turns out that people who have disappeared for a while then return safely. Unfortunately, many of them end up in madhouses, because no one wants to believe in their stories, and they themselves do not really understand whether what happened to them is true.

Scientists have been trying to solve the problem of temporary movements for several centuries. It may well happen that soon this problem will become an objective reality, and not the plot of science fiction books and films.

The paradoxes of time travel regularly occupy the minds of not only scientists who comprehend the possible consequences of such a movement (albeit hypothetical), but also people who are completely far from science. Surely you have argued with your friends more than once about what will happen if you see yourself in the past - like many science fiction authors, writers and directors. Today, the film with Ethan Hawke in the lead role, Time Patrol, based on the story of one of the best science fiction writers of all time, Robert Heinlein, was just released. This year has already been a success of several films relating to the theme of time like "Interstellar" or "Edge of Tomorrow". We decided to speculate what potential dangers might await the heroes of temporary sci-fi, from killing their predecessors to splitting reality.

Paradox of the dead grandfather

The most common, and at the same time the most understandable of the paradoxes that overtake the time traveler. The answer to the question “what will happen if you kill your own grandfather (father, mother, etc.) in the past?” may sound different - the most popular outcome is the occurrence of a parallel time sequence, erasing the culprit from history. In any case, for the temponaut himself (this word, by analogy with "astronaut" and "astronaut", sometimes refers to the pilot of the time machine), this does not bode well at all.

Movie example: The whole story about teenager Marty McFly, who accidentally travels to 1955, is built on preventing an analogue of this paradox. Having accidentally conquered his own mother, Marty begins to literally disappear - first from photographs, and then from tangible reality. There are many reasons why the first film in the Back to the Future trilogy can be considered an absolute classic, but one of them is how neatly the script sidesteps the idea of ​​potential incest. Of course, in terms of the scale of the idea, this example can hardly be compared with the well-known plot from Futurama, as a result of which Fry still becomes his own grandfather, accidentally destroying the one who was supposed to become this grandfather; in the end, this event had consequences that literally affected the entire universe of the animated series.

Pulling yourself by your hair

The second most common time travel plot in cinema: going to a glorious past from a terrible future and trying to change it, the hero ends up causing his own (or everyone's) troubles. Something similar can happen in a positive context: the fairy-tale assistant who directs the plot turns out to be the hero himself, who came from the future and ensures the correct course of events. This logic of the development of what is happening can hardly be called a paradox: the so-called time loop is closed here and everything happens exactly as it should, but in the context of the interaction of cause and effect, the human brain still cannot but perceive this situation as paradoxical. This technique is named, as you might guess, in honor of Baron Munchausen, who pulls himself out of the swamp.

Movie example: In the space epic Interstellar (spoiler alert) there are a huge number of plot twists of varying degrees of predictability, but the emergence of a "closed loop" is almost the main twist: Christopher Nolan's humanistic message that love is stronger than gravity takes its final form only in at the very end of the film, when it turns out that the spirit of the bookshelf, protecting the astrophysicist performed by Jessica Chastain, was the hero Matthew McConaughey, sending messages to the past from the bowels of a black hole.

The Bill Murray Paradox

Plots about looped time loops have already become a separate subgenre of sci-fi about temponauts for some time - both in literature and in cinema. It is not surprising that almost any such work is automatically compared to Groundhog Day, which over the years has come to be seen not only as a parable of existential despair and the desire to appreciate life, but also as an amusing exploration of the possibilities of behavior and self-development in extremely limited conditions. The main paradox here lies not in the presence of a loop itself (the nature of this process is not always touched upon in such plots), but in the temponaut’s incredible memory (it is she who is able to provide any movement of the plot) and the equally incredible inertness of those around him to all the evidence. that the protagonist's position is truly unique.

Movie example: Detractors have dubbed "Edge of Tomorrow" something like "Groundhog Day with aliens," but in fact the script for one of the best science fiction films of the year (which, by the way, was super-successful for this genre) handles its loops much more delicately. The paradox of perfect memory is bypassed here as a result of the fact that the protagonist writes down and thinks through his moves, interacting with other characters, and the problem of empathy is solved by the fact that there is another character in the film who at some point had similar skills. By the way, the occurrence of a loop is also explained here.

Deceived expectations

The problem of not meeting expectations is always present in our lives - but in the case of time travel, it can hurt especially badly. Usually this plot device is used as an embodiment of the proverb "Be careful what you wish for" and works according to Murphy's laws: if events can develop in the worst possible way, then everything will happen. Since it is difficult to assume that a time traveler is able to predict in advance what the tree of possible outcomes of his or her actions will look like, the viewer rarely doubts the plausibility of such plots.

Movie example: One of the saddest scenes in the recent rom-com "Future Boyfriend" looks like this: Domhnall Gleeson's temponaut tries to go back in time to the time before the birth of his child and ends up coming home to a complete stranger. This is corrected, but as a result of such a collision, the hero realizes that more restrictions are imposed on his movements along the temporary arrow than he thought before.

Aristotle with smartphone

This paradox is a special case of the popular sci-fi trope "advanced technology in a backward world" - only the "world" here is not another planet, but our own past. It is not difficult to guess what the introduction of a conditional pistol into the world of conditional batons is fraught with: the deification of aliens from the future, destructive violence, a change in the way of life in a particular community, and the like.

Movie example: Of course, the Terminator franchise should serve as the most striking example of the destructive influence of such an invasion: it is the appearance of androids in the United States in the 1980s that ultimately leads to the emergence of artificial intelligence Skynet, which literally destroys humanity. Moreover, the main reason for the creation of Skynet is given by the protagonists Kyle Reese and Sarah Connor, due to the actions of which the main Terminator chip falls into the hands of Cyberdyne, from the depths of which Skynet eventually emerges.

The hard part of remembering

What happens to the temponaut's memory when, as a result of his own actions, the temporary arrow itself changes? The gigantic stress that must inevitably arise in such a case is often ignored by science fiction authors, but the ambiguity of the hero's position cannot be ignored. Well, there are a lot of questions here (and all of them do not have an unambiguous answer - to adequately check the answers to them, you need to literally get a time machine in your hands): does the temponaut remember all events or only part of them? Do two parallel universes coexist in the temponaut's memory? Does he perceive his changed friends and relatives as different people? What happens if you tell people from the new timeline in detail about their counterparts in the previous timeline?

Movie example: There is at least one example of such a state in almost every time travel movie; from a recent one, Wolverine from the last series of X-Men immediately comes to mind. The idea that as a result of the success of the operation, Hugh Jackman's character will be the only one who can remember the original (extremely gloomy) course of events, is voiced several times in the film; in the end, Wolverine is so happy to see all his friends again that memories that can hurt even a person with an adamantium skeleton fade into the background.

scary you #2

Neuroscientists are quite actively studying how people perceive their appearance; an important aspect of this is the reaction to twins and twins. Typically, such meetings are characterized by an increased level of anxiety, which is not surprising: the brain ceases to adequately perceive the position in space and begins to confuse external and internal signals. Now imagine how a person must feel, seeing himself - but of a different age.

Movie example: The interaction of the protagonist with himself is perfectly played out in Rian Johnson's film Looper, where the young Joseph Simmons is played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt in cunning makeup, and the elderly, who arrived from the near future, is played by Bruce Willis. Cognitive discomfort and the inability to establish normal contact is one of the important themes of the picture.

Unfulfilled predictions

Your opinion about whether such events are paradoxical depends directly on whether you personally adhere to a deterministic model of the universe. If there is no free will as such, then a skilled temponaut can safely bet huge amounts of money on various sports competitions, predict the results of elections and award ceremonies, invest in shares of the right companies, solve crimes, and so on. If, as is usually the case in films about time travel, the actions of the temponaut are still able to change the future, then the function and role of predictions based on a kind of insight from a stranger from the future are as ambiguous as in the case of those predictions that are based solely on on logic and past experience (that is, similar to those that are used now).

Movie example: Despite the fact that only "mental" time travel appears in "Minority Report", the plot of this film serves as a vivid illustration for both models of the universe: both deterministic and free will. The plot revolves around the prediction of crimes that have not yet been committed with the help of "clairvoyants" who are able to visualize the intentions of potential killers (a situation of extreme determinism). Toward the end of the film, it turns out that visions are still able to change in time - accordingly, a person to some extent determines his own fate.

I was yesterday into tomorrow

In most of the world's major languages, there are multiple tenses for events in the past, present, and future. But what about the temponaut, who yesterday could observe the death of the Sun, and today he is already in the company of dinosaurs? What tenses to use in speech and writing? In Russian, English, Japanese and many other languages, there is simply no such functionality - and you have to get out in such a way that something comical inevitably happens.

Movie example: Doctor Who, of course, belongs to the field of television, not cinema (although several television films can be found in the list of works related to the franchise), but the series cannot be left out here. The Doctor's confusing use of different times became a cause for bullying back in pre-Internet times, and after the revival of the series in the mid-2000s, the authors decided to deliberately emphasize this detail: now the on-screen Doctor is able to connect his non-linear perception of time with the peculiarities of the language (and at the same time laugh at the resulting phrases) .

multiverse

The most fundamental paradox of time travel is not for nothing that it is directly related to a serious conceptual discussion in quantum mechanics, based on the acceptance or rejection of the concept of a “multiverse” (that is, a collection of multiple universes). What actually needs to happen the moment you "change the future"? Do you remain yourself - or do you become a copy of yourself in a different timeline (and, accordingly, in a different universe)? Do all the timelines co-exist in parallel so that you just jump from one to the other? If the number of decisions that change the course of events is infinite, then is the number of parallel universes infinite? Does this mean that the multiverse is infinite in size?

Movie example: The idea of ​​multiple parallel timelines is usually not adequately portrayed in films for one simple reason: writers and directors become afraid that no one will understand them. But Shane Carratt, the author of The Detonator, is not like that: to understand the plot of this film, where one non-linearity is superimposed on another, and to fully explain the movements of the characters in time, it is necessary to draw a diagram of the multiverse with intersecting timelines, it is possible only after considerable effort.
