The Most Convincing Time Traveler Story

In 2006, Ukrainian police in the city of Kiev  were called to deal with a confused man, and when they arrived they found a young man who was scared, did not know where he was and was dressed in strange anachronistic clothes, carrying a camera. . they were probably face to face with a real time traveler, the man's name was Sergey Panamarenko and when the police asked him for his ID he handed it over to them and the first thing they noticed was that it was issued from a country that no longer exists. . does the soviet union exist  of course Ukraine used to be part of the soviet union but the soviet union collapsed at that time almost twenty years ago so let's just say the police no longer see these IDs, especially  young people and this man. looked like he was in his 20s, but his ID card stated his birthday was in 1932.

He responded to the picture on his ID, so nothing matched. When asked what day he thought it was, he said April 23rd, 1958, and then the police said, "We will take you to a small room and you can talk nice, doctor, so Sergey is committed to the mental hospital for treatment by Dr. Pablo Kudrakov, so the doctor played with his whole idea and asked him if he could find out or if he remembered how he ended up in 2006. The year was 1958, and when the doctor recorded, Sergei said in a quote that it was daytime and I wanted to walk in the city. I took the camera with me, but when I left the house, I saw a strange object. That was shaped like a bell, and it was very strange and flew in a strange way. It is hard to explain what I saw. Maybe it would be better to look at the pictures from your camera. Dr. Kudrakov was curious, so he entered the camera holder, and the first thing he noticed was an old, rare Yashima Flex. The doctor himself was a bit of a photographer, so he recognized the brand and immediately knew that it was like an antique, which is the problem because they are using a type of film that hasn't been made since the 1970s; it couldn't just be developed by CVS, so he called in a photography expert named Adam Poison Batam to get the film out. and he could see the real information that was given in 1956.

but it was in perfect condition, so he developed the role, and now everything just got weirder. What he found about the role was that the photos from Kiev were clearly from a long time ago; all the cars, all the clothes, and all the street signs were from the 1950s, and there were pictures of buildings that no longer existed. Directly in front of those buildings, Sergey was with his girlfriend at the time, enjoying a beautiful day, wearing exactly the same clothes he was wearing in the last photo. The wrapper contained a bell-shaped UFO, as Sergei suggested when the doctor asked him about the UFO image. Sergey said that the quote now says, "Are you sure I'm telling the truth?" I still don't understand what this object is or how something like this happened to me at the same moment when I took a picture and went down to look at the camera, and somehow it appeared this year. Dr. Kuchakov had a scientifically inclined hypothesis that if it was some kind of alien, it could fly through the universe at the speed of light and bring him back in a fraction of a second, and thanks to Einstein's theory of relativity, he experienced time dilation, meaning that time would barely pass for him but back on Earth it wouldn't.

The navigator's theory, if you will, is that that night Sergei went back to his room, closed the door, and was never seen again. The hospital's security camera recorded her entering the room, but it never showed her leaving because there was only one exit from that room; it was always a surveillance room, and the windows in the room had nets, so she had no way to escape unnoticed. Yes, Sergey just pulled a Shawshank Man Gone Like a Fart in the Wind, but there was no Raquel Welch poster to explain what happened to him. Never finding a way out, he simply disappeared, leaving the police with his photo and a crazy mystery to solve—a mystery that only gets stranger as the case is investigated and it is discovered that it really was Sergej Panamarenko who was reported missing in Kyiv in 1960.

They also managed to track down the woman in the photo, his girlfriend, who was in her 70s at the time. The woman told police that Sergei disappeared that day in 1958 and returned a few days later, exactly at the same time as in 2006, but then claimed that he disappeared again in the 1970s, and this time he was never found or seen again. But years after his disappearance, he received a strange photo in the mail.

It was from Sergey, and according to the note he wrote on it, it was a photo from 2050. It has an older man with a moustache, Sergey Kiova, in the background, but in this photo the horizon is full of skyscrapers, which he also said in the note that he wrote. Coming back soon, which for some reason didn't happen, the story of Sergey Panamarinko went down in internet history as perhaps the best documented case of time travel in history. You know now that it might be a good time to introduce you to Willow Alarm's Quick Shout 2.0. From a video where I put woo-woo," the alarm went on for almost a minute, and people started commenting, "Uh, yeah, pretty good about that aspect; it's a great story; ok, I totally understand why it became such an urban legend; the problem is just me here. All the images you saw during this video all refer to the back of one TV show. It was a show called Aliens, which aired on the OnePlus One channel in Ukraine in 2012. There were 10 episodes in total, and the episode that tells this story is the third episode called The Time Traveler. It is a whole series of different stories about alien abductions and other titles such as alien abductions, levitation effects, ghosts, and agroglyphs, and there was actually a disclaimer at the beginning of the programme that translated, quoting, "The Alien series aims to restore scenes of controversial topics to air or the hypothesis presented cannot be considered correct in further scientific research; all scenes are necessary." Restorations are based on witnesses. There is no convincing proof of the existence of aliens; your opinion on this matter is up to you, so yes, the show itself says that none of the proposed theories can be considered correct, which is more than you will ever get from the history channel. and also points out that there are recreated scenes, so all those pictures of Sergey that keep appearing on all the websites and all the videos that tell the story are all hobbies, not real interview material, which seems obvious to me, but I think that I spend more time in front of cameras than most people. Some glaring details are wrong in this part; for example, the surveillance camera recording shows the time as Tuesday, April 23, 2006.

But if you pull up a calendar app on your phone you'll see that April 23 2006 was actually a Sunday others have pointed out that the ID card that you see on the show has the Seal of the Communist Youth League stamped on it but it's not the actual seal from that time period like I'm sure the art director was good but you can never beat the internet and then there's that picture from 2050 it has buildings copied and pasted all over it and I'm pretty sure that's the Empire State Building so minor Photoshop but the point is those are Recreations again the show says it right up at the beginning fine but according to the story there was an ID there were photos there was a recorded interview so where are the real ones that they exist all I can say is that my writer Jason and I we searched all over the place and we couldn't find them anywhere nor could we find any actual police records no other media reports and I couldn't find anything on any of the key figures like Dr Pablo kuchakov or Venom poisoner granted some people don't have much of a web presence and there's definitely a language barrier here but yeah I couldn't find anything now I don't know anything about this show um if you're in Ukraine and you know something about it please feel free to educate me and everybody else in the comments but it comes across like one of those History Channel type shows where they take some urban legend and then dramatise it like I feel like this is just basically a good piece of Creepypasta that the producers ran across and decided to run with and they did a great job let's face it they did a great job it has taken on a life of its own the credits list of scriptwriter is Constantine cover again the director is Vladimir rybus and the producer is Alexi lebach and the executive producer is Oleg recozna who owned the station any of whom I would love to ask directly about this but I wasn't able to find a way to contact them so for me the overwhelming evidence here is that this is just a work of fiction and a great story it is a great story but like don't take it any more seriously than you did that mermaid show on Animal Planet which was actually a thing that happened I hate this timeline but I can't I get it I get it I totally get it Time travel is a fascinating subject, and a lot of thought has been put into how it would actually work. For example, a paper published in classical and quantum gravity in September 2020 suggested there's actually a way to travel backward in time. They looked at Einstein's theory of relativity specifically as calculations that show that it should be possible for an object in the universe to travel through space and time in a circular direction and end up back at the starting point. Einstein called it a closed time-like curve, but of course, physicists, when talking about time travel, deal with paradoxes like the grandfather Paradox you know that's the idea that a time traveller goes back in the past and kills a younger version of her grandfather this of course means that time travellers parents weren't born along with the time traveller herself and at the time traveller didn't get born then how would she have gone back to kill a grandfather that whole thing so the writers this paper use what they call the billiard ball model to tackle this Paradox they say imagine several billiard balls across a circular table a circular table so when you push one ball away from position X it goes around the table and hits the other balls in a particular pattern but the researchers calculated that even if the ball's pattern is messed with at some point during its Journey future interactions with the other balls can actually correct its path the ball will come back to position X at the same speed that it would have if it hadn't been interfered with basically the ball will fall into the same place so they use this model to explain how if you did travel back in time you could change events but not significantly enough to really change the future so like with the grandfather Paradox it would basically mean that something would always get in the way of you trying to kill him as researcher Jermaine terbar said quote no matter what you did the sailing events would just recalibrate around you try as you might to create a paradox the events will always adjust themselves to avoid any inconsistency now I think this paper is mostly just sort of an interesting thought experiment but this does sound a bit like determinism you know like the idea that the world will just recalibrate around any changes you make in the timeline kind of like a car navigation when you miss your exit the big question though is what causes this recalibration what holds this reality together is it a fundamental Quantum Force.

The Matrix The power of Zoe Unfortunately, it'll be a long time until we can test something like this and actually send an instrument or a person on a closed timeline curve. Until then, we'll just have to imagine it, which we've kind of been doing this whole time. I mean, one of the earliest ancient Sanskrit epic poems was called the Mahabharata, and it was about time travel. I think maybe we're drawn to time travel stories because time is the most insidious force in our lives. Time marches on; it never stops. We are ultimately at its mercy, and the greatest fantasy we have is to escape its grip. As a professor of science fiction studies at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Lisa Yazak told Life Science in 2022, "Time Travel." Tales let us imagine that we can break free from the grip of linear time and somehow get a new perspective on The Human Experience either our own or as Humanity as a whole so maybe that's why this urban legend has struck such a chord online with everybody you know as disoriented and confused as he was in some small way we kind of all want to be sergeying okay so this whole Sergey story kind of revolves around the whole idea that you know a UFO picked him up and carried them around at the speed of light and then dropped them back on Earth 50 years or so later this is of course you know an example of Einstein's theory of relativity in action which you all probably get the general gist of your smart people watching this but why does that happen exactly now if you think I'm going to answer with some course on brilliant well you're right it's it's right there in the classical mechanics course and this in my opinion is why brilliant is so powerful um you know they take you all the way back to the basics of kinematics and Newton's laws and let you work all the way up to reference frames which Einstein used to explain relativity you're just sitting there solving puzzles having fun and next thing you know you get it you don't just know it you get it and it's that deeper understanding that provides a foundation for many other concepts of once seemed Out Of Reach which I've been saying for a while now but what's more important is that really it kind of changes your whole world you just kind of see everything differently you know there's this new layer of understanding to everything plus it kind of it strengthens the problem-solving muscle in your brain so you're not just learning facts you're learning how to think this not only keeps your brain sharper as you get older it gives you an edge in a world all right guys here we are in the final four a sketch Madness there's only four left you guys voted last week there was only two votes so it wasn't that big of a deal um but uh let's let's see we're gonna find out right now who the last two are what the last two sketches are so here we go so the four that we had lined up last week was the penis designer sketch the big million uh subscriber clone sketch the Venus sketch and the uh golden ratio sketch and um we had 850 people so it has been a little bit less each time that's fine um but there's still two people that have answered all of them correctly and if those two people get this next one right they're gonna win the grand prize by the way I don't know who they are and they don't know who they are it could be you it could be you was that dramatic all right Let's do this all right here. First, match up the penis designer sketch and the big million subscriber clone sketch. I really don't know which one's going to win. I've come to expect the unexpected, so let's just do this. The winner is the clone sketch, which was still pretty close. I keep being surprised by how close they are, uh, not to surprise this one, though I still fully expect this one to take the whole thing, but let's see, uh, the next one. Venus versus the golden ratio I really don't know which one's going to win this one. Let's find out about the Venus one. All right, you guys like me in the makeup and the nail polish, don't you? I think that may be my new thing. So there we go. We have the final two: the big clone sketch and the Venus and Earth Brothers sketch. So guys, we got one more vote. That's all it takes. So just go to that. Joe Scott's Sketch Madness: Vote for the champion! It says right there, "Champion," and we'll see which one was the best sketch ever made.
