Youtube time traveling video doubts

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on skepticism regarding YouTube videos claiming evidence of time travel. It emphasizes that there is currently no scientifically validated method for time travel, with theoretical concepts like wormholes and closed timelike curves relying on hypothetical entities that have not been observed. The conversation highlights the ease of creating convincing fake content due to affordable photo editing software and advanced AI tools, suggesting that the likelihood of such videos being fabricated is significantly higher than them being genuine.

There is no known way to time travel. Time-travel-like things that can exist in theories (wormholes, closed timelike curves, etc) all require things that we've never seen and we suspect don't exist.

Also, Photoshop is pretty cheap and some people are pretty good with it. And modern AI tools lower the barrier to convincing fakery a long way.

So yes, far, far more likely to be fake than not.

Thread 'In the early days of electricity, they didn't have wall plugs'

Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff! Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use? 1906 ad DDTJRAC Even big...
