Are These Images Proof Of Real Time Travel? Ladies and gentlemen, we have a problem. Apparently, no one is willing to follow proper time travel etiquette. Time travelers are leaving proof of their escapades everywhere! Well, the best I can do is keep track of these temporal anomalies. Join me as I explore these temporal tears in the fabric of the universe. Our first stop on this temporal disaster is China.

Nordkvist claimed that he traveled into the future, to the year 2042. He also allegedly captured this footage of himself (himselves?) “…I dont´care if people thinks I am a lier. As is usually the case, sometimes it’s better to suspend disbelief and just enjoy the story itself. Why not?
