Time Travelling is Real

Peen

In the Charlie Chaplin 1928 film "The Circus" there's a woman on a cell phone!

See!

That's right, a woman traveled back in time to be in a movie and call her girlfriends about it.

Mysst

it's probably a hearing aid, stop perpetuating this retarded business

By coincidence, I just ordered Declare. I've never before read Tim Powers, but I keep hearing good things.

The GAF thread about this was also disappointing

Sweet.

I was directed to Declare while reading wikis about the early history of the CIA. Time travel, mysticism, and spycraft seemed like an interesting premise.

You get to see the past when you look in the mirror, since light takes a (trivially small, but nonzero) bit of time to get from place to place.

Also, if relativity is to be believed, you could theoretically build a spaceship that travels at near-light speed, take a 20-year trip somewhere else in the universe and a 20-year trip back and less than 40 years would have taken place on Earth, thus traveling into the past, sort of!

More perplexing still, is how Charlie Chaplin could possibly have uploaded his film on YouTube in 1928.

time dilation is not the same as time travel

Looking into the sky (especially at night) extends this by minutes to millenia

It's the opposite of disc 4 of Final Fantasy 8.

I don't see a phone, I just see a hand

besides, cellphone reception was terrible in 1928

I thought that worked the other way around

that sequel to ender's game told me all about it.

The Player Hater Ball was one of the most ingenious bits of television ever made

Everyone should make a secret safety word that only you know so if you ever meet your time traveling self you can know that they are the real deal and not a killer robot.

Hence the "sort of"

At least I didn't make some sort of cell phones in the past claim

I wonder if she was on a 3G network

Could this be proof that Doctor Who is a documentary, not a work of fiction, as this woman is an as yet unknown companion...

?

Can we talk about Quantum Leap here?

I like the episode where Sam is in Veitnam and thinks he's there to save his brother and Al disagrees but is vague about the person he really should be rescuing. It also has Patrick Warburton water skiing by being pulled by a helicopter. I think Wayne's girlfriend from the Wayne's World movies was in it too.

At the end, Sam manages to save his brother but...

Spoiler:

A reporter lady dies and it turns out that saving his brother wasn't supposed to be Sam's mission. He was supposed to save the person Al was trying to get him to save, which was actually the past version of Al who was captured and going to spend years as a POW (thus causing his first wife to move on since she thought he was dead), but Al didn't tell Sam all of that so that he could save his brother instead.

The lady with the cell phone? Scott Bakula in drag.

He's there to save Charlie Chaplin.

This is a stupid time traveler.

A cellphone wouldn't even work in the 1920s. She's probably like "what the hell I'm in the middle of a city and there's no service!"
