As humanity continues to turn science fiction into reality, some people are now convinced that a photograph from the 1940s serves as ‘proof’ that time travel has been accomplished.The image in question, taken in 1941, shows a line of children dressed smartly, queuing outside a cinema in Chicago. Among them, one boy is seen gripping what some believe to be an iPad.Of course, the first iPad was introduced by Apple 69 years later, in 2010. However, the device he’s holding appears to have a slightly different finish, suggesting it could be a later-generation model—if it is indeed a tablet at all.
Will time travel ever be achieved by mankind? It depends which physicist you ask!
But science continues to prove that the impossible can become possible. For example, a team of scientists from Oxford University successfully teleported particles of light between two quantum computers, while in Russia, a YouTuber has created a retractable lightsaber.Progress has also been made toward developing an artificial sun using a fusion reactor. The goal is to generate unlimited clean energy for humanity indefinitely, achieved through hydrogen isotopes—where just a single gram can produce the same amount of energy as 11 tonnes of coal.What I’m saying is that the brilliant minds of our planet are bringing many of our wildest fantasies to life… and no, I’m not talking about those weird dolphin ones.Anyway, an old photo posted on Reddit has sparked a time travel debate, leaving social media users shocked. The picture, taken by Edwin Rosskam, has drawn widespread attention.While it’s fascinating to see how youngsters lived during the time of World War II, one kid, in particular, has everyone on Reddit talking.
Spot the kid with the iPad?
A boy on the far right of the photo has sparked discussion, with some believing he may be holding an iPad.Of course, this seems impossible—the first iPad was released in 2010. But according to some Reddit users, there can only be one explanation… time travel.“iPad-carrying moviegoer, all the way to the right,” one user wrote, while another claimed the photo provides “proof of time travel.”However, many other Reddit users flocked to the comments to offer more realistic explanations.“Just getting that early practice pirating films, that’s all. Back in the early days of film, ushers scanned the audience for pens and notepads to prevent bootleg recreations of movies,” one user joked.Another added, “It’s most likely The Holy Bible. They have their Sunday best on—bless their wee souls. Yes, I definitely think that’s what it is.”
