Top 8 Crazy History fact that Sounds Like a Time Traveler was Involved in:
1/8
One of H.G. Wells' short stories, a character is amazed that someone is able to place a smaller rectangular object into a receiver in their wall, and then watch a pre-recorded program on a screen. He basically described the VHS tape in the 1920's.
2/8
Albert Einstein fundamentally rewrote the law of gravity, almost single- handedly. His general relativity has withstood every test since.
3/8
The July Bomb plot. Someone tried to assassinate Hitler with a bomb in a suitcase. He placed the suitcase next to Hitler and left with the intention of detonating it. Someone at the meeting moved the suitcase so it was behind a table leg which meant that the table absorbed the force of the explosion and Hitler survived
4/8
If you’re into music theory and classical music, listen to Don Carlo Gesualdo. This guy was doing musical stuff nobody would even consider until many hundreds of years later. The tonality he used in particular wasn’t seen until the 19th century. Absolutely wild stuff that’s both a bitch and beautiful to sing.
5/8
A man wrote a book about a boat called the Titan being hitting a Iceberg in the exact same area of sea as the Titanic which was not very strong only a couple years before the titanic sunk
It goes way deeper than that... the book was written almost 15 years before the sinking of the Titanic, and in the book, several things that actually happened with the Titanic happened to Titan, including:
Location in the North Atlantic (400 miles east of Newfoundland)
Traveling between New York to England
Thought to be unsinkable because of its watertight compartments
Travelled in excess of 22 knots before hitting the iceberg
Didn’t even have enough lifeboats for half of its 3000 passengers
Gross tonnage was 45000 tons and was almost 900 feet long
Sunk after colliding with an iceberg on the starboard side
A majority of the passengers died
It’s tough for me to believe in time travel, but if I had to pick out one person in history who could’ve been a time traveler, I’d be hard pressed to not pick Morgan Robertson, the author of Futility, or The Wreck of the Titan.
6/8
Tbh if you learn about physics and when physicist had their theories or even proved them, then it feels like witch craft. Like mostly everything was done in 1900-19xx (or even (way)earlier) and we started to develop the ideas or even prove them hundred years later.
A lot of them couldnt prove anything as they were limited by the technology of their time but they still had theories that were proved very late or even late after their death.
7/8
The curious case of Peter Power and the anti-terrorism training exercise which involved five simulated bombings of five London underground train stations which took place at exactly the same time and at exactly the same stations as the actual bombings on 7th July 2005. Power later described this as a "spooky coincidence".
8/8
All the unsuccessful assassination attempts on Hitler. A lot of people say they'd go back in time and kill Hitler if they had a time machine. Many have tried; many have failed. Hitler is inevitable.
