1928 Time Traveler Caught On Film?
Many of you have submitted a story about Irish filmmaker George Clarke, who claims to have found a person using a cellphone in the "unused footage" section of the DVD The Circus, a Charlie Chaplin movie filmed in 1928. To me the bigger mystery is how someone who appears to be the offspring of Ram-Man and The Penguin got into a movie in the first place, especially if they were talking to a little metal box on set. Watch the video and decide for yourself.
Yeah, that struck me as well. Where are all the cell towers?
Seriously, whoosh...
The Premise : Someone has time travelled back to 1928 and is inadventertly filmed using their "mobile phone - like" communications device.
The Refutation : There wasn't a mobile phone network back then.
Really? You're taking this seriously?
Ok, I'm going to be a buzz kill and respond with a non-sarcastic idea, but maybe it was a device that communicates via quantum entanglement. Technically those could communicate without regard to time as well, and entanglement communications is dirt simple compared to the massive effort of time travel.
