How to travel in time: all the ways and paradoxes. Is time travel possible? (7 photos) Known facts about time travel

I will give in this post some of the most mysterious and inexplicable cases associated with space-time anomalies, officially documented at different times.

Scientists have managed to prove that it is possible to travel 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 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 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 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, milk was. He died from an assassin's bullet, and his personality remained a mystery. However, there were suggestions that before coming to Germany, the boy lived in a completely different world.

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 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 ...

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.

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 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 about 70 years ago 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 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.

In medieval Europe, those places where space-time anomalies occurred were called "devil's traps". So, on the road leading to Dresden, there is a large boulder, in the middle of which there was a large hole. Outwardly, this stone resembled a gate. And if you believe the Dresden chronicles, which claim that any traveler who passed through this hole in the stone disappeared without a trace, then it can be assumed that this is the “gate of Time”. In 1546, the city magistrate decided to dig a large hole next to this boulder, after which the stone was dumped into this hole and covered with earth. But that didn't help either. And although the stone was no more, disappearances of people periodically occurred in its place. Sicilian chronicles for 1753 tell that in the small settlement of Tacona, in the courtyard of an abandoned castle, an artisan named Alberto Gordoni literally vanished into thin air. Moreover, it happened in front of astonished witnesses. Almost three decades later, the man reappeared at the same place where he disappeared. He was extremely surprised by the inquiries of people, but said that he got into some strange white tunnel, at the end of which a bright light was visible, and the man went to this light. And, as it seemed to the artisan himself, in just a few minutes he managed to get back into the castle courtyard. The man was examined by doctors, and they came to the conclusion that the man had not lost his mind, but he was not lying either. Then the locals decided to check the veracity of Gordoni's words. When they all came together to the place of disappearance, the craftsman again took a step and disappeared. But no one else saw him. Then the priest ordered to protect the cursed place with a high stone wall, and then sprinkled it with holy water.

There is a belief that the gates of time open exclusively under the influence of natural elements - thunderstorms, earthquakes, storms and tsunamis. One of the first written references to this anomaly dates back to the 12th century. It is contained in the "Pantheon" of the Italian bishop Gottfried of Viterb. In his work, the priest described one story that happened to the monks of the Abbey of Saint-Mathieu. The monks on the ship were heading for the Pillars of Hercules, but they got into a terrible storm. When the storm subsided, the passengers and crew of the ship saw that the ship was off the coast of some island. The island had a fortress made of pure gold, and all the paths were paved with gold tiles. Already when the day was drawing to a close, the monks met two elders. But they met the strangers very unfriendly and, after listening to the stories of the monks about their misadventures, they ordered them to get back, because one day on the island is equal to three hundred years on Earth. The monks heeded the advice of the elders, quickly boarded the ship and sailed home. Three weeks later, the monks arrived in their native harbor, but it was very different from the place that they left a few months ago. In addition, the people who surrounded them were dressed in a very strange and unusual way. When the traveling monks arrived at their native monastery, they did not recognize either the abbot or the inhabitants. When the abbot listened to the story of the monks, he looked through the archives, in which he found the names of all the travelers. But it turned out that the note about their departure was made three hundred years ago. By the end of the same day, all the monks who had endured such a strange journey had died.

Leningrad region. In September 1990, a simple Soviet engineer named Nikolai went to the forest to pick mushrooms. A thick bluish fog shrouded him in the forest. Afraid of getting lost, he went back to the road, where he left his old "Cossack", but when he went out onto the road he did not recognize the familiar place. Instead of a broken dirt road, there was an asphalt highway along which unusual cars drove. There was a parked car nearby, and near it a man and a woman. Nikolai approached them to say that he was lost and to ask for directions. The woman took out an atlas from the car on the title page of which it was written in large size "2022 map of the Leningrad region." The man took out a small black flat device from his pocket, on which the map was also visible. After a long conversation, it turned out that he was in the right place but that he was in the future in 2024, that the Soviet Union collapsed, that hard times would come, but then everything would work out. The man insistently invited him to stay. Nikolai replied that he had a family and two children and he wanted to go back to the 1990s. The strange couple then suggested that he quickly return to the fog before it dissipated. Nicholas with all his might ran back into the forest. Having found an unusual fog, he passed through it and after a while, having wandered a little, went out to his "Cossack".

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 theme of time travel excites the minds. Admit it, you also fantasized about this topic? Where would you like to visit, past or future? There are suspicions that such travels are available to some people, in any case, we know stories that are difficult to explain otherwise.

A few years ago, a certain Andrew Karlsin 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 complete 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 a tempting offer was made to 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 bail for him a million dollars to get him out of prison, after which Karlsin disappeared and, apparently, forever ...

2. Old lady

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.

3. Submarine

Time plays a bad joke 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.

4. Plane from the past

Even worse things 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 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 God!" They tried to calm him down, they said that a ground team was already heading towards him. However, when he saw airport employees next to the plane, the pilot shouted: “Do not approach! We're leaving here!"

The ground crew saw the astonished 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 airport of Caracas, there was a recording of negotiations with DC-4 and a calendar for 1955, which had fallen out of a magazine, which the pilot was waving ...

5. Japanese military

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 vehicle 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.

6. Story six

In 1966, three brothers were walking down a street in Glasgow early on New Year's morning. 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.

7. Story Seven

A photo in the Bralorne Pioneer Museum virtual museum titled rather boringly titled “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.

8. Time Traveler

John Titor is a man from the future who has appeared 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 2015, 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 travel back 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).

Over 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. In between grim exhortations to learn first aid and not eat beef - in his reality, mad cow disease posed a serious threat - Titor, using extremely difficult algorithms, uncovered some of the technical aspects of how time travel works and provided grainy photographs 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. Today, everything that is posted online is perceived with a healthy dose of skepticism.

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. If all the previous cases described can still somehow be suspected of unreliability, exaggeration or delusion, then the facts mentioned below cannot be classified as such. We are talking about the so-called chronal artifacts - things, objects, clearly made by man, found during archaeological excavations and in geological layers dating back to a time where neither a person nor the things themselves should be.

9. Story nine

In the 80s of the 19th century, while drilling a well in one of the US states, a metal object was discovered, obviously of artificial origin. The age of the find was about 400 thousand years. It was a coin of an unknown alloy and with hieroglyphs on both sides that could not be deciphered. It is known that a modern man appeared on our planet about a hundred thousand years ago, and on the American continent even later.

10. Story ten

Around the same time, an elegant ceramic sculpture of a woman was found at great depths in Idaho. Its age was about two million years.

11. Incident on the train

Five years ago, Mexican newspapers described a mysterious story that happened on a train from Mexico City to Acapulco. In the compartment where there were a young surgeon and a woman with a child, a disheveled man, terrified to death, dressed in a long camisole, suddenly appeared. On his head was a powdered wig. In one hand he held a quill pen, in the other a large leather purse.

I am Minister Jorge de Balenciaga, he shouted, trembling with fear. - Where I am? The surgeon ran after the conductor. Returning to the compartment, he saw that the man who called himself the minister had disappeared. The conductor decided that they wanted to play a trick on him and for a long time was indignant that he was being taken away from business, until material evidence was found on the floor - a pen and a wallet.

The surgeon picked up both objects and showed them to historians, who determined that they belonged to the 18th century. We managed to find documents in the archives with a curious postscript of the then bishop, from which it followed that Minister de Balenciaga, already an elderly man, allegedly falling into madness, told everyone about how one day, returning home late at night, he saw an iron, long, like a kite, "devil's carriage"", bursting with fire and smoke.

Then, according to the minister, he inexplicably found himself inside a monstrous vehicle, where bizarrely dressed people were sitting, whom he mistook for minions of Satan. Seriously frightened, de Balenciaga read a prayer to the Lord, calling on Him for help. Suddenly he found himself again on one of the streets of Mexico City. Despite the fact that the devil was repeatedly cast out of him, he did not return to common sense until his death.

12. Accident in Tokyo

An equally mysterious incident occurred in 1988 on one of the streets of Tokyo, where an unknown man was hit by a car, who died on the spot. The driver and witnesses assured that the victim "appeared on the road suddenly, as if fallen from the sky." The police drew attention to the fact that the deceased was dressed in a suit of obviously old-fashioned cut. They were even more surprised by the passport issued ... exactly 100 years ago. In the man's pocket, they also managed to find business cards indicating his profession - an artist of the Tokyo Imperial Theater. It turned out that the specified street has not existed for more than 70 years.

The police interviewed all Tokyo residents with the same surname. After many days of searching, they found an old woman who reported that her father had disappeared under mysterious circumstances. He went to a friend to play a game of GO, and did not return. The woman showed the police a photograph in which a young man, remarkably similar to a man who had been hit by a car, was holding a little girl in his arms. The picture was dated. May 1902.

13. See Paris and...

Last week, a resident of Rouen, Pierre Dupre, was called by his sick aunt, who lives in Paris, and asked to come to her urgently. The nephew did not make himself ask twice and, sitting in the car, rushed to her. He definitely did not recognize the road, besides, for some reason, the lanterns did not burn, and the asphalt suddenly changed to gravel. He was also surprised that he did not meet a single car along the way. Pierre decided that he was lost, and, seeing a two-story building, he stopped to ask how he could get to Paris. The door was opened by an elderly man with a candle in his hand. Staring at Pierre, he asked what he needed. Pierre explained. Two women (probably the wife and daughter of that man) ran out of the house and, calling him a redneck, answered that he was in Paris itself.

It was only then that Pierre noticed that his interlocutors were dressed in medieval clothes. They, in turn, looked at his leather jacket and jeans with amazement. Suddenly there was a clatter of hooves. Catholics, the man shouted. We must save ourselves, and, turning to Pierre, he expressed the hope that he was a Huguenot. Pierre realized with horror that he had fallen into a time loop, which until now he knew only by hearsay.

He was always interested in the past, but the last thing he wanted was to get into the era of the famous religious wars. Without hesitation, he pushed his casual acquaintances into the car and stepped on the gas. Pierre brought the Huguenot family to him in Rouen. Numb with fright, they did not react to anything. After spending the night with Pierre, they left in the morning without even waking him up, and disappeared from his life forever.

14. Old lady

Last year, 48-year-old Giovanna Cavolini, along with her daughter Loretta, walking along the street of her native Palermo, noticed an old woman who was walking with difficulty moving her legs. The women wanted to help her cross the road. However, for some reason she was frightened and, as best she could, hastened her pace. Mother and daughter were struck not only by her clothes - a long dress sewn in the fashion of the 19th century, and a large black hat - but also by a snow-white face with skin tight to the skull, on which huge blue eyes stood out.

Crooked fingers, studded with ancient gold rings, delicate features and an arrogant look spoke of her high origin. The old woman limped to the alley, then looked around helplessly - apparently not knowing where to go. Seeing that a crowd of townspeople was watching her, she stopped in confusion and immediately disappeared.

15. Future of the Earth

There are many cases of penetration of our contemporaries into the future. In April 1992, the Italian Bruno Leone went for a walk with his wife and, right in front of her eyes, disappeared into thin air. When she reported the incident to the police, she was advised to see a psychiatrist. However, Bruno returned home safely two days later. In fact, he looked confused. According to him, he ended up in the 25th century. Outlandish people in the same clothes treated him like an exotic animal. Hearing that he arrived from Italy, they rolled their eyes in surprise, claiming that a country with that name disappeared from the face of the earth in the 21st century.

He was surprised that, walking around the city of the future, he did not see a single building of the 20th century and not a single tree. The “descendants” kindly took the hungry Bruno to a cafe where only one dish was served - a colorless, cloudy jelly that resembled a spreading jellyfish. Nasty in taste, it, however, instantly satisfied hunger. Having warned him about the coming cataclysms, the hospitable hosts opened a geographical map to show places where they could be saved, but as soon as they pointed a finger at Mongolia, Bruno suddenly found himself at home.

16. 2245

Last summer, 17-year-old Frenchwoman Florence Dunoy was returning from a disco at 3 am. Only 50 meters were left before the house, when, having turned the corner, she found herself on a completely unfamiliar street, on which identical houses of a bizarre cone-shaped shape towered in even rows. There were no passers-by at such a late hour, and she became frightened. Finally noticing the two guys, Florence, hoping for salvation, rushed to them. After carefully examining her fashionable chic outfit, they asked what museum she stole her junk from.

They themselves were dressed in gray, as if rubber sweaters and tight-fitting pants. Her questions puzzled the young people, as they first heard the name of the street where the stranger lived. And when the girl asked where they could get a taxi, they nearly fell over laughing. You must have come from far away,” one of the guys said. Would you like to come with us? Florence was insanely tired, besides, she really wanted to go to the toilet, so she accepted the invitation. There was no furniture in the room they brought her to, except for a soft mattress that covered the entire floor.

Light was breaking through from under the plafond built into the ceiling. Next to it, also on the ceiling, a green flashing light illuminated a clock - a calendar showing September 23, 2245 ... The guys, having heard what century Floris had come to them from, handed her the one that appeared from somewhere glass with blue liquid. An unfamiliar pungent smell hit the girl's nostrils, but after drinking one sip, she lost consciousness...

When she came to herself, the guys were not around. Looking at her watch - calendar, she found out that she had slept for three days, her lower abdomen hurt. Rising from the floor, she wandered to the doors, which swung open by themselves. Obeying the thought that suddenly dawned on her, she went along the road that led her to that wonderful quarter, turned around the “fatal” corner and ... ended up on the very street along which she was returning from the disco.

Soon, Florence lost her period and she was drawn to salty, which she was extremely surprised, since she had not had sexual intercourse with anyone for six months. Then she remembered how badly her lower abdomen hurt after she woke up in an apartment of the XXIII century, and guessed that the guys who sheltered her had deprived her of consciousness, and then raped her. The doctor who examined Florence confirmed the pregnancy. Tired of proving anything to her parents, she began to say that she had sinned with an alien. A month and a half later, Florence had an abortion ...

17. Gluttonous old woman

People of the future are also not immune from falling into the "corridor of time" and sometimes visit their distant ancestors. In January, an elderly, completely bald woman with a face mutilated by deep scars and ulcers, and dressed in a translucent plastic suit, walked into a summer cafe in Cape Town. The gluttonous old woman ate a dozen cups of ice cream, drank two liter bottles of Coca-Cola and ate a hefty bunch of grapes.

When the waiter caught her at the exit of the cafe, she stared at him as if he was crazy, and. scolding with her last words, she promised to complain to the International Committee, the old woman, called by the police, explained that all survivors of a nuclear disaster that erupted 30 years ago enjoy the right to free food in all cafes and restaurants in the world, Sweet Tooth presented a phosphorescent card with her holographic photograph. On it was the year of her birth - 2198. To clarify the circumstances of the appearance of a guest from the future, the police offered the old woman to go with them. However, heading for the car, the granny disappeared into thin air.

18. Clock through time

One of the archaeological finds confirming time travel took place in China. In 2008, archaeologists working on a tomb in Guangxi province hoped to unearth the remains of a Chinese emperor from the Ming Dynasty. Whose reign was at the turn of the 15th century. Sealed 400 years ago, the tomb is opened for the first time. With the utmost care, scientists remove the fossilized layers of soil, and get to the tombstone. And then their first discovery awaits them. As soon as they begin to remove dust from the stove, a strange object breaks off from it, outwardly similar to a ring.

But having cleared the traces of time, rust and fossils, archaeologists freeze. In front of them are real Swiss watches! On the back cover of which, there is an engraving Swiss. It is quite understandable that in the 15th century there was no Swiss watch, and there was no technology for making wristwatches. A strange artifact, but there is no other way to call it, is sent to Beijing for study. Where the authenticity of the origin of the watch is established. And according to the serial number and date of manufacture, a hundred years ago.

The results of the study are somewhat shocking to researchers. How could a clock have ended up in a tomb that had been sealed four hundred years before it was made! This finding baffles researchers. It is impossible to explain this from the point of view of science familiar to us. At first, it was assumed that the clock was placed in the tomb along with other decorations. But the reign of the Ming dynasty fell on the 14th-16th centuries. Whereas, watchmakers began to create wristwatches only by the end of the 17th century.

According to scientists, only one version can explain the appearance of the clock in the tomb, several centuries before its manufacture. The watch has traveled back in time! But then, we must recognize the fact that someone owns the technology of time travel.

Just imagine how many useful things could be done if we could travel through time! Kill Hitler, change dollars, convince yourself not to drink last night, convince Hitler to drink last night! But our heroes were busy with completely different things.

Father Pelligrino Ernetti

Father Pellegrino Ernetti, a Benedictine monk, lived almost all his life in a monastery on the island of San Giorgio. He was a practicing exorcist and chair of the prepolyphony department at the local conservatory. But, apparently, when he was not busy with exorcism and early music, he still had free time, because Ernetti's father invented the chronovisor, a device that allows you to travel back in time to see historical events with your own eyes.

According to the confession of the priest, he wanted to visit the Trieste opera, which made a splash in Rome in 169 BC. There are testimonies of people who were present at the launch of the chronovisor. Pellegrino Ernetti's friend, the priest François Brun, even wrote the book "Chronoprojection apparatus - a new secret of the Vatican", which tells how he listened to Napoleon's speeches and saw the crucifixion of Christ. To date, there is no information about the chronovisor, and everything that is offered on Avito is a miserable fake.

Billy Meyer

Swiss Billy Meier's first contact with aliens, according to his testimony, occurred when he was five years old. An alien from the Pleiades constellation named Sfat, who replaced Billy's father, got in touch with the boy. (And who among us from time to time did not suspect that his dad was also from another Galaxy!)

Then, when Sphat died, Billy was contacted by the Pleiadian Ascetic, with whom he kept in touch for 11 years. In 1975, when Billy reached puberty, Sfat's granddaughter, Semjase, came to him. Don’t ask what she taught Billy, we don’t know ourselves, he didn’t talk about it, but he presented the public with many photographs of his alien friends and their spaceships.

Aliens came to him both from the past and from the future, as well as from parallel dimensions, warning of the coming world cataclysms. Concerned about the well-being of earthlings, Billy reported on the upcoming Third World War, which was supposed to begin in November 2006, then in 2008, and finally in 2010. But, apparently, Billy's friends are not very experienced in earthly history, because we are writing these lines to you from 2016.

Charlotte Ann Mauberly and Eleanor Jourdain

Two schoolteachers of exemplary reputation went on an excursion to Versailles in 1901 and, getting lost in the gardens, ended up in 1792, right at the height of the French Revolution. They claimed to have seen Marie Antoinette in her last days before her arrest. The queen was sitting in front of the Petit Trianon and drawing, when an armed mob moved to Paris.

Returning to the present, Charlotte and Eleanor wrote a book about what happened to them and called it "The Adventure". The book, of course, was immediately criticized, and the teachers were accused of fraud. As evidence of the deception, critics used a modern map of Versailles. Charlotte and Eleanor described how they crossed a bridge before going back in time that didn't exist in their time.

However, a map of Versailles of the 18th century was later discovered, on which the bridge described in the "Adventure" really was. However, as it turned out later, neither Charlotte nor Eleanor were experts in the history of France, and before writing a book, they studied the issue with the meticulousness of a teacher.

John Titor

Internet forum hero of the early 2000s who claimed to be from the year 2036. John's final destination was 1975, and his destination was an IBM 5100 computer needed in the future to destroy a computer virus meant to destroy the world. It is even strange that the name of John Connor was never mentioned.

When asked how he ended up in 2000, John replied that he had dropped in to see his family, as the Third World War was coming, as a result of which America would be subjected to nuclear bombing by Russia. And for sure the bombing was what we needed, since the Americans in 2036 were in need of computers from the 70s.

Bob White

In 2003, a lot of people received an email asking them to help build a large warp module with a generator and an induction motor (or something like that). To those who responded to the letter, the author willingly and in detail told his theory about time travel and how to create a device for their implementation. The author of the letter scheduled a meeting for his followers in a small town in Massachusetts on July 9, 2003, to which he did not turn up safely. We hope he was able to return to his planet. Or in a psychiatric hospital.

Victor Goddard

Marshal of the British Air Force Sir Victor Goddard simply attracted the paranormal. In 1935, while flying in his biplane with an open cockpit, he got into turbulence, during which he observed a strange picture when he flew over an abandoned airfield: the landscape seemed to have changed under him, on the airfield, where there should have been no one, there were planes , and mechanics in blue clothes scurried between them. This surprised Goddard, as at that time all mechanics wore brown uniforms. Of course, none of his colleagues believed him, and the story was forgotten until, four years later, the Air Force actually changed the color of the uniform from brown to the same shade of blue that Goddard had seen.

He argued that it is enough to accelerate to to get into both the past and the future. Although many have the audacity to disagree with the light and offer their own theories. However, they are all questionable, because they have not been tested; there is no documentary evidence of their success, and the scientists themselves are not sure. Everyone knows that this is possible, but they have not decided how.

Anyway, the idea to move in time is a very strange thing. How many temporary collapses are waiting for us, plus the emergence of alternative universes in which we will be confused like mental patients in straitjackets. And is it worth going to the past if 6,000 Earth years pass after returning to Earth, while the journey took no more than a day? Deal with the present before ruining the past. In the end, if it were not for Hitler and the Second World War, then most of our grandparents would hardly have married each other. There were all sorts of situations, novels at the front and evacuations. Yes, and there was not much choice. Well, God bless him, it's not about that. It's about something that's not written in the Bible.

1. Punch the future with your forehead

Here is the most primitive of all theories: you need to run as fast as you can until you reach and pierce the future with your forehead. And what is most strange: in fact, this statement is absolutely true. The faster you walk, the further you fly.

This has been the subject of many experiments. For example, in 1971 an experiment was conducted. In order not to delve into the technical component, let's say briefly: the research team flew around the Earth until time travel occurred. No, for real. They loaded the atomic clock onto the plane and flew east until they returned to where they started. When the researchers landed, clocks on Earth were 60 nanoseconds ahead of aircraft clocks. In other words, the clock on the plane was effectively pushed 60 nanoseconds into the future. The explorers then flew off in a different direction. This time, the aviation clock was 270 nanoseconds ahead of the earth clock.

This is explained by the fact that the clock on Earth was not stationary, because it was on the rotating surface of the planet. The clocks on the plane flying west ran slower, so everything on Earth slowed down by comparison. It turns out that the famous scene where Superman flies around the Earth and turns back time is just the fruit of the screenwriter's sick brain.

By the way, consider this type of time travel in our pocket. Your phone is connected to GPS satellites, which have to be corrected for slowing down (satellites have their own time course). If this is not done, the navigation system will take you to the crack den of the neighboring area instead of the nearest KFC.

Let's assume that a car has already been invented that actually allows you to travel in this way. We reach speed and jump not by 60 nanoseconds, but by 60 years. A few minutes or a few hours around the planet, and then - boom! - bright future!

Only now, can you live in this future, where everyone has forgotten you, and if they remember you, then only as an asshole who spins around the Earth endlessly?

2. Dense holey objects of comic proportions

If you have seen Interstellar, then the essence of the theory should be clear. The closer you are to a large, dense object, the slower time passes. For you.

Massive time travel is already happening. Scientists fired a huge laser 10,000 kilometers up. Sometimes science is left with no other choice but to shoot from a mega-gun into space. But the experiment confirmed that time really moves at different speeds depending on the distance to gravity.

And what did this shot give? Nothing, once again confirmed the theory that time flows much more slowly near a supermassive object. Closer to the Earth, the passage of time is not as fast as in the layers of the stratosphere. So, if someone suddenly decides to use the mass of Jupiter for travel, then good luck. It is enough to compress the mass of the planet to the size of a tin can, and then travel will become 2 times faster. And you don’t have to fly to, which is not only supermassive, but also a real galactic time machine: time flows around it very slowly.

The strangest part of this theory is that a similar journey is already happening to you right now. In fact, it happens everywhere, not just in the magical horizons of some mysterious black hole on the other side of the galaxy. The core of the Earth moves in time more slowly than people standing at a bus stop in Makhachkala. When you stand, your butt ages more slowly than your face (although it would be better the other way around). We don't need a car to travel through time. We just need something huge nearby, like the ego of Milonov or the carcass of Stas Baretsky. Although, even if such a machine using a monstrous mass is created, then a crowd of protesters will instantly appear, fearing a cosmic collapse and the fact that the Earth's axis will shift, and Snoop Dogg will become president.

3. Wormholes and Krasnikov's pipes

You cannot travel through space and time faster than the speed of light, but with Krasnikov's pipes this problem is instantly solved. You just cut a tunnel through space and time and go back and forth like one of those green pipes in Super Mario. Here, too, there is an entrance, an exit, and most importantly - the journey goes very quickly, regardless of the distance, so it is unlikely to get bored.

Such "wormholes" are not a physical object, but a distortion of space and time. Schematically, it looks like this: two layers of space bend in a certain place until they touch each other, like underpants stuck in the ass.

The main advantages of pipes are that they can be created artificially, and the biggest plus is that the traveler returns there exactly at the same time from which he began the journey. But remember: cutting a window to new stars located at a distance of 3000 light years, you risk getting into an intergalactic war.

In 1993, University of Wellington professor Matt Visser noted that two wormhole entrances with an induced time difference could not be combined without a quantum field and gravitational effects causing the wormholes to collapse or repel each other. Simply put, the mass will increase, which will only destroy the unfortunate pipes. In addition, this method of movement does not, in fact, violate the so-called universal speed limit - the speed limit of light - because the ship itself does not move faster than light. The wormhole shortens the path not only in space, but also in time.

4. Mexican bubbles

Traveling faster than light is as real as milking a female unicorn and giving that milk to a malevolent leprechaun. So stop thinking about it - it's stupid and unrealistic.

So everyone thought until, in the 90s, the Mexican scientist Miguel Alcubierre thought about a bubble that compresses the space in front of it and expands it behind it. All that is needed for this is tons of negative energy (we are not talking about envy, murder, apathy, speeches by Vladimir Solovyov). The idea was purely theoretical and even fantastic. Given the existence of negative energy, moving a bubble 200 meters in diameter would require energy equivalent to the mass of Jupiter. Here you can’t get by with the Solovyovs - you will have to connect Kurginyan.

However, in the last few years, modifications of his idea have been proposed, in which the "bubble" was replaced by a torus, and the negative energy turned out to be completely unnecessary. In this case, calculations show the need for energy contained in just hundreds of kilograms of mass. Even an experiment was carried out that proved that space is perfectly curved without negative energy. But there is one problem: the bubble is sensitive, like a virgin in the first experience with a woman, and too many extraneous facts can confuse him.

5. A cylinder in some galaxy

What is a Tipler Cylinder? Somewhere in space, approximately to the left of Betlgeuse, there is a rotating cylinder. You take a ship and happily go there. When you get close enough to the surface of the cylinder (the space around it will be mostly deformed), you will need to go around it several times and return to Earth. Reminiscent of the Buryat shamanic rite, but with the cosmos, everything is not always simple. But you will arrive in the past. How far depends on how many times you go around the cylinder in orbit. Even if your own time seems to be moving forward as usual, as you circle the cylinder, outside of the distorted space, you will inevitably move into the past. It's like running up an escalator going down.

It remains only to find this cylinder. Apparently, this is something very big and long, like ... films by Nikita Mikhalkov. But so far no one has seen them. Not in a telescope, not in any other instruments. The astronauts were asked - they also did not see. The cylinder is a hypothetical thing, verified from Einstein's equations, and therefore no one knows how this journey will turn out.

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 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 order not to be unfounded, here are a few examples:

***

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.

***

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 ...

***

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.

***

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.

***

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 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!

***

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.

***

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.
