Moving in time: is this real? Will people be able to travel in time?

With the appearance in literature of such a genre as a fantasy novel (and subsequently with the development of cinematography), the topic of time travel became very popular. For example, the heroes of George Lucas's trilogy "Back to the Future" carry out a movement in time, interfering in the course of certain events, thereby changing their lives and the lives of their loved ones. Agree, this is quite an interesting idea. After all, you can not only correct the mistakes of the past, but also learn the truth about certain periods of the history of our planet. You can meet and personally meet with outstanding personalities, for example, with Aristotle or Omar Khayyam. You can try to save the Alexandria library from the fire, and someone will even try to prevent Adolf Hitler from becoming the leader of Germany and so on. No less exciting can be a journey into the future ... Fantasy science fiction, and is it possible to actually travel in time? And if so, is everyone really enjoying it? However, whether pleasure? In this article, we will try to understand how close scientists have come to creating the notorious time machine. It seems that we will not lie against the truth, if we venture to assume that such attempts have taken place, and not once. And to convince the readers that the impossible is possible, let us consider the facts of time travel recorded in world history.

The Philadelphia experiment

This case could be called the first officially registered fact, in which there was a movement in time and space, if not for one BUT. The US government has classified all the materials on this case, moreover, even denies the fact of the experiment itself. Nevertheless, information about him seeps into the media, and in Hollywood even feature films were shot about those events.

Let us briefly get acquainted with this scientific experiment. The events described took place on October 28, 1943 in the military port of Philadelphia. On the sea destroyer (DE 173, better known as USSEldridge), several electromagnetic generators were installed. It was assumed that the said equipment would generate huge electromagnetic regions, which would cause the radio and light waves to envelop around the destroyer, which would make it invisible. After turning on the generators, the ship was supposedly enveloped in a green mist, after which both the ship and the fog began to dissolve and completely disappeared. A few minutes later the destroyer appeared in its original place, but later it became known that at the time of his disappearance at the site of the experiment (Philadelphia), he appeared, and then disappeared on the site of his home in the docks of Norfolk (Virginia). The project was led by none other than Albert Einstein. It is believed that the scientist, through his generators, has made a hole in space and time. He was so shocked by the results that he burned all his notes on this experiment and said that mankind is not yet ready to use this kind of force.

The results of the investigation of the "Philadelphia experiment"

Despite the fact that the visible part of it was successful, the results were catastrophic. Of the 181 crew members of the ship only 21 (!) People returned unscathed. It turned out that most of them became mentally ill, some sailors in general disappeared, and their fate remained unknown. But the most mysterious and terrible thing is that five people were, as it were, "fused" into the metal structures of the ship. Many of the "returned" had severe burns, from which they died in a few hours. The participants of the project told that they were in another, apparently parallel world, in which they saw creatures they did not understand. Which had such a strong impact on their psyche. Half of the surviving officers and team members were completely insane, most of them ended their days in a psychiatric clinic. With one of the members of the experiment, there was a generally incomprehensible case: before the eyes of his wife and child, he passed through the wall of his own apartment, and since then no one has seen him.

Not surprisingly, the US government did not venture to disclose such results. That's what jokes can end with in time. Before turning to the modern vision of the scientists of this issue, let us consider the cases of time travel, which were recorded at various periods of our history.

Facts that have no explanation

Despite the rapid development of all branches of science, to date there is no evidence that time travel is real. However, no one can prove the opposite. At the same time, a lot of inexplicable facts have been accumulated in the history of mankind that make one think and admit that time travel is possible. Such cases are described even in the chronicles of the epoch of the pharaohs and the Middle Ages. Similar facts continue to accumulate in our days. In order not to be unfounded, let's look at some of them.

Cases of people moving in time

This story occurred in August 1897, in the Siberian city of Tobolsk. A man named Krapivin was detained, who had a very strange behavior and appearance. He was taken to the police station and interrogated, the results of which were quite surprising to the investigators. And there was something to be surprised! The man claimed that he was born in 1965 in Angarsk, and works as a PC operator. The mystery man could not explain how he appeared in Tobolsk, he said, he felt a strong headache and lost consciousness. Woke up, he saw before him an unfamiliar town. A doctor was called, who diagnosed a "quiet insanity," and the man was sent to a madhouse.

History of Soviet aviation

There are other evidence of movement in time. Here are a couple of them:

1. In 1976, the Soviet pilot V. Orlov said that during the flight on the MiG-25 he saw that military operations were being carried out on the ground. If you believe the descriptions of the pilot, he was an eyewitness of the battle, which occurred near Gettysburg in 1863. It should be noted that the Soviet military, unlike their American counterparts, have always been restrained in such statements, because such information could put an end to their career.

2. In 1986, a similar situation occurred with another Soviet pilot - A. Ustimov. In the course of the assignment, he discovered that he was above ... Ancient Egypt. According to him, he saw that one pyramid was built completely, and next to it lay the foundations of others, near which people were crouching.

And what do foreign pilots say?

In 1985, the NATO pilot during the flight over Africa drew attention that it was not a desert, but a huge savannah with large trees. And he supposedly saw dinosaurs, who peacefully grazed on lawns. Soon the vision disappeared.

Another American pilot (again NATO) said that in May 1999, flying over Germany, he saw a group of fighters advancing on him. All the planes were somehow unusual. Flying closer, the pilot recognized the German Messerschmitts in them. While the American was pondering what to do, a Soviet fighter appeared, attacking the enemy. Soon the vision disappeared.

There were many such facts (failures in the past), but they also prove nothing. Now let's look at the examples that tell us about traveling to the future.

Aliens from the past in modern warfare

In 1944, during the fighting on the territory of Estonia, not far from the Gulf of Finland, a tank reconnaissance battalion of Soviet troops under the command of Troshin collided with a group of cavalrymen dressed in an antique uniform. The last ones at the sight of the tanks rushed off. As a result of the persecution, it was possible to detain one fugitive, who was taken to the headquarters. The cavalryman in French spoke. Our people did not get confused, quickly found an interpreter, and the man was interrogated. He claimed to be the cuirassier of the French army, commanded by Napoleon. The remnants of his corps are trying to get out of the environment after a retreat from Moscow. In addition, the soldier claimed that he was born in 1772. The further fate of the cavalryman is not known, since it was taken by the employees of the special department.

The next fact of time travel takes us to the 80s of the 20th century. The diesel submarine of the naval forces of the USSR, under the command of Captain II Zalygin, as a result of the storm, was forced to go on an emergency ascent near the shores of Sakhalin. The watch officer reported to the captain that there was a boat right at the rate, which turned out to be a rescue boat. In it, a man in the military uniform of a Japanese sailor of the Second World War was discovered. During the search, he found documents issued in 1940. The incident was reported to the headquarters, the captain was ordered to follow to Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, where the detainee was transferred into the hands of counterintelligence.

Victim of an accident

In 1952, a strange story happened in New York. On Broadway, an accident occurred, which resulted in the death of a pedestrian. Policemen were surprised by the clothes of the victim - she was an old specimen, and in her pockets were discovered an old clock and a knife made in the last century. When the victim was found a certificate issued 80 years ago, and business cards, which indicated the profession of the victim - a traveling salesman. The police checked the address recorded in the documents. It turned out that this street has not existed for about 50 years. Later it turned out that the person with such data lived in New York and disappeared about 70 years ago. Moreover, it turned out that at that time his daughter was alive, who provided photos of his father depicting the deceased under the wheels.

It is possible to enumerate endlessly the cases that recorded movement in time. Stories of this kind, which tell of jumps as in the past, yet into the future, have always been of interest to the public. And for some, they are even a collector's item. Here's an interesting hobby. However, we will not focus on this and turn to modern scientific developments.

Sensation

As the Israeli scientist Amos Ory said, time travel is possible and scientifically grounded. Mathematical calculations of the scientist were published in special printed publications. He argues that the creation of a time machine requires the presence of giant gravitational forces. The basis for his research was the findings of Kurt Gödel, made in 1947. The essence of the latter is based on the theory of relativity A. Einstein. According to Ori calculations, the probability of traveling to the past arises in the case of giving curved space-time structures a funnel shape or a ring. Thus, each turn of the received structure will carry the person back into the past. As Amos Ori says, humanity has come close to creating a time machine. It is possible that soon it will become an objective reality, and not just a plot of fantastic novels and films. Are we ready to meet the unknown? What awaits us there - beyond the face? ..

Bermuda Triangle

This anomalous zone is famous for its bad reputation, ships and planes often disappear in it. Sometimes they are found, but they are more like ghost ships. There were recorded cases when ships without crew were found there, and there were no signs of evacuation, all things remained in place, food was prepared in the galley, and the smell of cigarette smoke was felt in the cabin. It seemed that the crew and passengers just left the ship just this minute. Another oddity, which the rescuers noted, was that on all the watches found on the "ghost", time lagged significantly behind the real one. So this phenomenon quite falls under the category of "moving ships in real time." However, to date, there is no necessary amount of information about this phenomenon, so it is not possible to draw the right conclusions.

Moving planes in real time

By the way, and after all we with you can quite travel in space and without any machines there. An alternative option is ahead of time - it's air travel. The essence of this method is to move between time zones. For example, a flight from the Far East to the European part of the Eurasian continent. As a result of such a journey, you can overtake time, there are even extreme lovers who meet the New Year on several occasions, winding from one time zone to another.
