proof that time travel is possible and has been done

check out the 2:40 mark, it appears to show a woman talking on a cell phone, problem is that it's from a film shot in 1928.

That's Flash Gordons' mom.

So the idea that it's a radio is silly "because, obviously, it's 1928", but the idea that it's a time traveler with a mobile phone (possibly a transvestite time traveler, at that), is the only possible explanation that makes sense ? Really ?

OK, putting aside Occam's Razor for a moment, and assuming, for the sake of silliness, that this is a transvestite time traveler with a mobile phone - who are they talking to ? Are there other time travelers with mobile phones ? What network are they using ? How long until they go back and change time so that this footage never existed ?

Crazy lady having a private rant to her pocket book is far more likely than time traveling transvestites, although not as exciting, so it won't convince someone like George.

I guess it was an at&t network since they were the only phone company back then

That was Jim Kirk in disguise calling up the enterprise!Think he was looking for Bones again.

I know what she's saying. "Can you hear me now?"

i'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you didn't realize that i posted this as a goof...

From your previous posts it was hard to tell

This seems to fit the bill nicely. Or this.

Thanks to Richard Wiseman.

I don't see her talking into it.

i guess you weren't paying attention any of the 90 thousand times i mentioned that i majored in physics and comp sci in college

And ? Your point is ?

[deadrats]

And ? Your point is ?

i doubt you will find many physics majors that believe time travel is possible, i'd like to think that most people that have studied physics in a serious capacity realize that time is a dimension not in some odd ethereal sense but rather in the sense that length, width and height are dimension, only unlike l/w/h that are simply geometric ratios, time is simply a scalar measurement of duration, thus it's nonsensical to talk of traveling through it.

Nonsense. Time travel is definitely possible. I do it everyday, second by second...

At a rate of 60 seconds a minute, no doubt.

Several normal explanations are there, be it scratching or using a hearing aid of the era.
