    In 2006, a mysterious man appeared on the streets of Kiev, claiming to have come from 1958. And the story gets crazier from there. The Sergei Ponomarenko story has become a bit of an internet phenomenon as one of the most compelling time traveler stories ever documented. It's a great story. But is it any more than that?

    I think the problem with the story is that he is quoted as saying “look at my camera” to prove he saw the UFO, and also after he took the photo he also says that he looked at his camera. In pre-digital cameras there was no need to look at a camera after taking a photo, because you couldn’t see anything until the film was developed. He would have instead told the people quizzing him to look at his film. And of course would not have looked at all after taking the photo of the UFO.

I presume that would still be a cold, uncaring, capitalist world.... a world I don't want to inhabit. I want Artificial Supertintelligence to make society so great that an economic system is unnecessary and everyone's life on Earth is truly awesome, perhaps via a personalized, highly awesome simulation for everybody, reverse aging, all diseases cured, everyone is genuinely happy and satisfied with their life... etc. So I breathe a sigh of relief that that is NOT 2050. Although, 2050 might still look like that in New York City and everything I said above might be true? I don't know. Thinking about the technological singularity and the upcoming decades in a realistic manner can be tough. It's hard to predict.

    Being from Kyiv and in my teen years back at the time, I can share that such techno-mystical stories were quite a hit back in the day. In every corner, you could buy some yellow newspaper talking about Soviet UFO secrets, and TV was filled with "Psychic" reality shows and pseudo-documentary UFO-cryptid mystery dramas. One of the most popular shows was literally called "Psychic War" where they would test a bunch of "Psychics" and make them complete quest-like challenges. This story 1:1 fits the mold of such yellow entertainment and I vaguely remember hearing about it.

    A few customers came in and as I served I as a good pub landlord took note of who is in and out. Now after 20 minutes this chap had not come out of the toilet so I went in to find no one in but also a stall was locked and I had to climb over to open it from the next stall. The only window was a barred 2 by 3 foot window.

    Most convincing one I've seen was the guy from the 1800s who stepped into a street in NY and was immediately hit by a car. There were police reports found on it that corresponded to both the year he disappeared and when he died. Its a story I ran across the first time before the internet was even invented.

      This is actually a short story called "I'm Scared" by Jack Finney, published in 1951. It was in the early 70s that it became an urban legend with newpapers publishing elements of the story as factual. Search up "Rudolph Fentz" for this character, but I do recommend giving the original story a read, it's pretty good.

    The grandfather paradox has never seemed like a big deal to me. By going back to kill your own grandfather, *you* still experience time in a linear path. Even going back in time, *you* are still going forward in time relative to you. You still age, *your* wristwatch still goes forward etc. Your timeline of events is that your grandparents led to your parents leading to you leading to you going back and killing your grandfather. You would have just displaced yourself entirely from the linear timeline everyone *else* experienced. No one else would be able to explain your birth but you could. There's actually an easy explanation for why you exist with no traceable lineage. Existing in a time before your birth to kill your grandfather in the first place should be a paradox but it's not. If you secretly stayed in the past before your birth and didn't kill your grandfather, then eventually witnessed your own birth and now there's two of you, it's not paradoxical because there is a through-line of time for you. In fact, if you went back one week and killed your past self then showed up back in the present to the amazement of those who thought you were dead, you wouldn't cease to exist for the same reasons. You exist as matter, if you just disappeared that would violate more laws of physics than the time thing. That's my take anyway, but what do I know? Lol

It's a kind of weird show about a guy who discovers time travel and starts changing the future by sending text messages into the past. The way they explain how those changes happen, and the effects of paradox were pretty creative. The first three episodes about microwaving bananas is really difficult to endure but if you can make it through, the rest is worth it, in my opinion.

      The "What if...?" question has driven both SF _and_ science and continues to this day! Indeed! SF itself has heralded scientific advancement! And we hold in our hands smart phones that surpass Star Trek communicators and tricorders to some extent.
      Buck Rogers (in the 1930's) predicted laser weapons, a concept SF still uses, and which scientists harness.
      IIRC, there were SF depictions of using energy beams to find buried ancient cities. Today we have laser apparati that can do this and have done it.
      LIGO has measured gravitational waves from colliding black holes.
      I think Superman might have seen underground lost villages with his X-ray vision.
      Consider this: one big thing from the iconic book _Stranger in a Strange Land_ was that water is a sacrament. Nowadays around the world everybody is realizing how sacred water is to life on Earth and how precious it is.
      Robert Heinlein wrote this concept into this famous book. But anyone with this concept could have written it. Many people feel this way from all walks of life. Over time, more and more people came to think this way.
      So not only scientific concepts and those of fantastic technology manifest, but also societal concepts, many that were laughed at but came to be adopted.

      Anakin I'm not sure if anybody's actually done this, but imagine you took a stick and tied a carrot to it. Then you get on the back of your horse, or get in the seat of a wagon, and you use the stick to dangle the carrot in front of the animal. The horse, or donkey or whatever, wants the carrot so they walk forward, and you've tricked them into moving you.
      So carrot on a stick means something you want which motivates you.
      The other part of this is if the animal quits moving you hit them with the stick. So you have positive motivation from the carrot and negative motivation from the stick.
      Please note that I've never hit an animal with a stick.

    • @ImHeadshotSniper
      @ImHeadshotSniper Před rokem

      the exploitation of that carrot on a stick, "what if" factor is something like the "Barnum effect", which just means that people want to be fooled and entertained based on an incredibly vague claim with a very limited amount of information, often because it's what the person wants to hear.
      i believe this is a side effect of being "intelligent", because every other animal on Earth appears to never delude themselves of their senses unless one of them is taken away. humans seem to have the ability to believe our powerful imagination, such that people could believe that a magician makes a ball vanish into thin air because the magician suggested to you that's what they were going to do.
      i'm pretty sure that every other animal besides us do not actually believe that a ball can vanish into thin air, even when they are confused about where the ball went when you did a magic trick, because they don't have the capability to make such conclusive assumptions that it somehow disappeared into nothingness, especially when it is (always) concealed before the vanish, as to have not actually witnessed the vanishing of physical matter.
      actually, if you give that animal time, it may try to search every part of your body which could contain the ball which appeared to have vanished, which would actually be an incredibly logical reaction to their observations, and of course you would indeed have the ball somewhere on you, as matter cannot vanish. humans seem to have been conditioned for magic, such that we don't really care to inquire much with our sensory abilities beyond an immediate presentation of what something *appears* to be

    he asked me, "can i just get some lemon-lime marlboros?"
    after taking a couple seconds to recoil from my shock, i just told him, "we don’t have those. I don't actually think those exist."
    still looking really confused, he paused for a minute, then just said "okay" and walked out of the store.

    The idea of a self-correcting timeline was one of the sub-plots of that Stephen King story about the Kennedy assassination, and as a story device it was really well done. It's also, sorta, part of the underlying lore for Nolan's _Tenet_: the reason inverted phenomena didn't work the same way (like a fire burning in reverse) was that they were always pushing against the normal flow of time in the environment around them. Like they were constantly paddling upstream.
    I kinda like the idea of time having its own momentum that resists you trying to bend it too far. Another way of looking at it is that you can't change the past because whatever changes you make were already made in your own past, and that past arrived at your present as it is.

    “One of the major problem encountered in time travel is not that of becoming your own father or mother. There is no problem in becoming your own father or mother that a broad-minded and well-adjusted family can’t cope with. There is no problem with changing the course of history - the course of history does not change because it all fits together like a jigsaw. All the important changes have happened before the things they were supposed to change and it all sorts itself out in the end.
    The major problem is simply one of grammar, and the main work to consult in this matter is Dr. Dan Streetmentioner’s Time Traveler’s Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations.”

    Regarding the Godfather paradox - I have two different takes on it.
    1) By going back in time and changing events in the past, you would simply create a new, alternative timeline that runs parallel to the original one.
    2) Similar to the billboard thing - you going back in time is already considered in the timeline. The fact you went back and did things is already part of the past, therefore there are no "changes".
    Both options would also explain why our past wasn't changed by people from the future to rectify catastrophic events like WWII or climate crisis. Either they did and created new timelines as a result (which we wouldn't know) or they tried but their actions had no effect because they were already included in the calculation.

It landed just fine and I don't know if that counts as a success or failure because maybe in his reality it did crash again and right now he's on that plane again trying to get people to believe its the 7th loop??

      @@morpher44, I think it's more of a case that Albert didn't live long enough to have access to all the info he needed to complete his work during his lifetime. Physics is still evolving, and will do for centuries. Writers have to make do with what we can understand of all the sciences we use as story plot points. One of the limits we are up against is that we can't let facts get in the way of a Good Story. Some writers actually are scientists, and the science in their stories are more accurate--*if the story benefits from greater scientific accuracy.* While loads of us do care about scientific accuracy, what *all* of us care about is writing good stories that readers enjoy--AND, are willing to pay us a bit of their hard-earned cash for the chance to read our work. In the final analysis, writing is as much of a job as it is a calling.
      My time travel stories *can* involve lots of research into actual history. Or Physics, for that matter. But only when dropping that in makes the story better. You've got to remember, no matter how many lab coats and particle accelerators appear in the story, time travel is, in it's deepest essence, a Fantasy genre. It can have as many science-fiction elements as a writer chooses to include, but at its heart, it is always going to be a retelling of "Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur's Court," or "Rip Van Winkle." At least, those are the two main tropes I can think of at the moment.

    A little detail puzzled me: the picture camera was a real object from the 1950s, but it was a Japanese machine. How likely was a young man in the Soviet Union in 1956 to have acquired a Japanese technological item? What is more, there was an extremely similar picture camera produced in the Soviet Union at that time, it was called "Любитель" (I happen to own one). Again, the film may not be produced anymore, but any photographer is able to develop it from an old camera.

      this story is completely fiction - this can be seen from the handwriting in which the document is filled out. This is a document that a person is a member of a Komsomol organization.. This is not an identity document.
      And most importantly, it is filled with clumsy handwriting - which is nonsense. People with a calligraphic handwriting were always selected to fill out documents. This immediately caught my eye - this is 100% fake.

    The story contains an element that is common in SciFi time-travel stories that haven't really been thought through well. If you leave for another time, and spend three days there, there is no reason why it would be three days before you showed up in your own time again. That would be true if you went to Paris for three days, but not if you went to 2050 for three days, since you are then traveling between points in time, and can supposedly return to any such point.

    Stephen King utilizes the Billiard Ball model REALLY well in his novel 11/22/63, because when the main character travels back in time to stop Oswald from killing Kennedy, there are multiple moments where the main character is prevented from reaching that goal by seemingly unnatural forces (fate or bad luck, whatever you want to call it.) It’s described as if the past is resistant to change, its really interesting and it seems as if King had done his research before he wrote it

John Kennedy might have slowly morphed into a dated, even quaint figure. Robert Kennedy, if he had become president, would have presided over the same reforms and probably the same dragged-out ending of the Vietnam war as Nixon did. It would be only that these things would be looked at as great accomplishments.
