Have we gone "Back to the Future"?



Remember the Back to the Future movies? When Marty McFly went into the future, in Back to the Future part 2, he went into the year 2015. Wow, 2015! In 1989, when the movie came out, the idea of being in the year 2015 seemed impossible. It seemed like a fantasy world. There were hover boards, flying cars, TV screens with multiple channels hanging on the walls, video conferencing, 3D movies, computer tablets and even wireless video games. The crazy thing is, today in the year 2014, we have most of these things. Where did they get the ideas for these futuristic items way back in 1989? Was this a prediction for the future? Is time travel really possible and someone had knowledge of these things? The truth is, they were developing these technologies back then and we are just seeing them on the market today.

They say, the technologies being developed today, are 10-15 years ahead of what is currently on the store shelves. As new items come out, they need to be marketed and sold, before they can introduce new products to the consumer. As they get sold, they slowly introduce the new products. Meanwhile, they are creating new and more advanced technologies every day. Do they have TVs that project holograms into your living room? Yes, but you cannot buy them yet. You will be able to soon however. The first time I saw Back to the Future 2, I couldn't imagine having these types of things. Some may say we even have the technology, to see into the future and that is where we get these ideas. There was a guy by the name of John Titor, who was posting on a message board on the internet back in the year 2000  and claimed to be from the year 2036. He claimed to be from a parallel universe, just on a different timeline. He talked of WWIII, the end of Olympic games after 2004, hurricanes, another American civil war and other wild tales, only to have the things he said not come true. It was just another hoax.



What if time travel was possible? What if we could go back to the past? I've asked my friends and family what they would think if I went into the past, to a year before I was born and told them I was from the future, here to visit them. I told them I would be able to tell them details that no one else would know, to make them believe me. Some said they would believe me, others said they would think I was crazy. It is an interesting theory. Ask someone you know and see what they say. What is time? It is just another form of measurement. Some say UFOs are just us, coming back in time to visit. They say, if you traveled at light speeds through space, what would seem like minutes, would actually be years on earth and you would return to be the same age, as others would have aged. Sound crazy? Sound impossible? So did flat screen wall mounted TVs, hover boards and computer tablets, way back in 1989.
