What's more likely: an old woman traveled back in time to 1928 and used a cell phone that didn't require cell towers, or said old woman is just holding something random up to her ear?
- Qz 16y agoCell/mobile phone is just a term based on our frame of reference. For the sake of argument, if it is a time traveler, the device could be transmitting to someone from the future for all we know.
- stoney 16y agoOk, so we have a mysterious device that looks a little bit like a cell/mobile phone. Except we know it's not a mobile phone, because there are no towers. But it could be something else that is transmitting to someone from the future, it just looks a bit like a phone. Maybe it evolved from the phones we have today and it's more convenient than using a discreet in-ear device. Maybe it has a hi-res multi-touch screen. But then I guess if we're entertaining the idea that it's some kind of mystery future technology, maybe we should open our minds to the possibility that it's not transmitting anything to anyone, maybe it has some other purpose that we don't understand yet. So what we have is footage of someone holding an unknown object near the side of their face. All we really know is that it's some kind of unimaginable technology. Or maybe it's something completely mundane that they had in their hand.
- te_platt 16y agoThis story is funny in a lot of ways but my favorite is how people keep noting that there were no cell towers. As if traveling back in time is a bit unlikely - but with a CELL PHONE! - that's just crazy.
