Yep, she time traveled with her cell phone, no other explanation.

And the satellite necessary to talk on a cell phone time travelled with her.

And another person with a cell phone also time travelled to this place in time.

What's so hard to believe about that?

EXACTLY! I WANT TO BELIEVE!

If she/he was talking to the future that;s gotta be one heck of a long distance/length of call charge.

Well, if time travel is this random, and you have no choice where you end up, to the point that you may get stuck as an extra in a Charlie Chaplin movie, then time travel is obviously not all that hot. I'll stay put, thank you.

It was at the premier of the movie; not an extra. It's all starting to line up now isn't it.

Oh, so she wasn't in the movie, she was going to see the movie? A silent black and white movie?

That reinforces my disappointment in time travel.

If I time travel, I want to meet Jesus Christ, or Muhammed, or see what killed the dinosaurs. Not go to a black and white silent movie.

Time travel is impossible anyways. Or at least hundreds if not thousands of years away even at current technology progress rates. Think about it, if you travel in time 1 minute either way, to the same exact spot, you would be in the middle of outer space around 68,000 miles from Earth because the Earth is moving around the sun and rotating. That doesn't account for the speed of the galaxy within the universe, or even the speed of the universe if it's moving. So not only would you have to solve the problem of moving time, you'd have to calculate the space part too, using information that is unknown or information with a large margin of error.

Anyways, I say that to say this... Someone smart enough to figure out the above, would probably be smart enough to develop a communication device between times or with other time traveling partners. One that did not require current communication technology. Hypothetically, the time traveler could be from 100-1000 years in the future, using technology we can't comprehend. Imagine what someone from the 1500's would think of watching us talk on a cell phone....

Perhaps in 1000 years, someone finds an ancient text that led them to believe Charlie Chaplin is actually Jesus.

I just blew my own mind.

This makes perfect sense to me. The time traveller was from the future, travelling back in time maybe aiming for the dinosaurs but somebody punched in a number wrong.

Hey....it happens....A couple of years ago NASA crashed a space craft into Mars. It was later determined that they did a metric/imperial conversion worng. Or didn't do it at all.

Maybe she is from a place like the Matrix.

My reasons to love halloween are more along these lines:

capnsandwich · #12 10-29-2010, 10:47 AM

Who's to say that the person in question's not actually from thousands of years away? Who's to say we're not caught up to real time anyway? Who's to say I know what I'm talking about? I have a headache now.

Klopp18 · #13 10-29-2010, 10:49 AM

thats probably the weirdest thing i've ever seen. i really wonder what that thing is.

+1 Ziltoid!

need4mospd · #14 10-29-2010, 10:52 AM

Ziltoid for president!

It's not even a headset, it's a handheld device already behind current technology. I have more faith in future generations. I also think they are smart enough to look for something more edifying than the premier of a Charlie Chaplin movie.

sloasdaylight · #16 10-29-2010, 02:23 PM

I dunno what that is, but either way it's kinda neat.

TBird1958 · #17 10-29-2010, 02:28 PM

I'd say go back in time just far enough to beat Leo Fender to introducing a bass guitar, then come back to present day and witness the fun here on talkbass

it is the new time travel app for the iphone.

Maybe time is only relative to our planet and the satellites we've sent to space exist only there, in space, not fixed to any time period but to ALL time periods and we just happen to be the only era in existence with the technological capacity to put them to use. Except, of course, this time traveller who had this specific knowledge...

Maybe, as well, your perception of the importance of the past is not all its cracked up to be. Why go to the past to talk to a carpenter? I'd much rather be at the premiere of a Chaplin flick.
