Time travel is possible? This story proves that.
A man dies in a car accident in downtown New York. Investigators are unsuccessfully trying to find the victim's relatives. The evidence collected clearly indicates that this is 30-year-old Rudolph Fentz. There would be nothing strange about this story if it weren't for the fact that his family reported him missing... 80 years earlier.
In 1950, a strangely dressed man appears in New York He behaves irrationally and dies by falling under a car He has documents belonging to a man who disappeared last century "Time and space are not a barrier for us. The horizon is determined only by your desires: philosophize with Socrates, experience a moment of terror in Countess Bathory's castle, dance the foxtrot on the Titanic. For the less sentimental, a journey into the future to the end of the universe" - this is what the offers may sound like travel agencies in the future. The discovery that time is a subjective category and that conditions in the universe may exist that allow us to cross the space-time barrier was one of the greatest revolutions of the 20th century.
Visions that for centuries remained in the sphere of science fiction have become the subject of scientific debate. Some go a step further, claiming that we are already dealing with travelers traveling through the fourth dimension. One of them was Rudolph Fentz. Lost in time An autumn afternoon in 1950 in New York's Times Square. A strangely dressed man attracts the attention of passers-by. At first it seems to be an actor - he has sideburns and is wearing an old-fashioned outfit - but his behavior becomes more and more disturbing by the minute: he shouts, waves his arms, finally runs blindly and falls straight into the path of an oncoming taxi. He dies on the spot. The New York Police Department's files are full of strange cases, but this one is special.
The documents found with the deceased date back to the last century. The money and business cards with an address on Fifth Avenue and a bill in Fentz's name on Lexington Avenue date from 1870, but they still look like new. The police begin searching for the victim's relatives. Unsuccessfully. Finally, after several months, an old woman is found who claims that Rudolph Fentz, her late husband's father, disappeared under mysterious circumstances in the last century. The police find old files: the address of the missing man matches the one on the business card found in the jacket of the Times Square madman.
Fentz's story still arouses a lot of emotions: for some it is proof of the possibility of time travel, for others it is just an urban legend inspired by science fiction literature. This was the conclusion drawn by Chris Aubeck, who investigated the Rudolph Fentz case in 2005. He then announced that the New York time traveler was the hero of a science fiction story by Jack Finney.
Two years later, this thesis was questioned, pointing out that Finney was inspired by press reports - the story was to be published a few months after the strange accident in Times Square. If this latest investigation is considered credible, is it enough evidence that Rudolph Fentz is lost in space-time? Back to the future Time is one of humanity's greatest mysteries. Despite scientific progress, we still know extremely little about it. The father of classical physics, Isaac Newton, claimed that time is an absolute category: it flows inexorably and equally for all objects in the universe. Today we know that it is different. There are extreme theories that treat time only as an illusion of our minds that helps to organize the chaos of reality. The way to the subjective perception of time was opened at the beginning of the 20th century by a brilliant patent clerk: Albert Einstein. With his special theory of relativity, he destroyed the belief in absolute time, proving that there is no single divine timer for all objects in the universe. Time is a dimension closely related to space, creating a four-dimensional reality. So if time is the same dimension as space, the question arises whether, like every place in space, every moment of time exists here and now?
Einstein showed how time can flow differently depending on matter and energy. In the vicinity of black holes, where a strong gravitational field operates, the clock would measure only a few dozen hours, while on Earth centuries would pass. Time also passes differently for objects moving at great speed: when we get into a rocket and travel at sublight speeds for seven years, when we return we will find that over 500 years have passed on Earth! So, today, a journey into the future - although only in theory - is possible. The problem of our civilization is the lack of energy resources to maintain the speed necessary for such an expedition. The question of traveling to the past still remains open. Perhaps one day we will be led to it by the so-called time tunnels. Albert Einstein's theory suggests that there may already be natural time vehicles in space, i.e. places where space-time curves, creating a kind of shortcut between different places. Based on this thesis, in 1988, in the serious scientific journal "Physical Review Letters", three physicists from the California Institute of Technology proposed the construction of wormholes. And although these theses still sound revolutionary today, in a few decades time travel will turn out to be as natural as sky travel is today. In the light of modern knowledge, we cannot rule out that there are time travelers among us. Perhaps the phenomena that we today call "paranormal" - such as unidentified flying objects or encounters with ghosts - are related to visits by guests from other space-time who have mastered the ability to navigate tunnels.
Rudolph Fentz (also spelled as Rudolf Fenz) is the focal character of "I'm Scared", a 1951 science fictionshort story by Jack Finney, which was later reported as an urban legend as if the events had truly happened. The story tells of a 19th-century-looking young man possessing items of that period who is found confused in the middle of Times Square in the 1950s before being hit by a motorist and killed, suggesting that he had, perhaps involuntarily, time travelled about a century forwards.
The story of Rudolph Fentz became one of the more significant urban legends of the 1980s and has been repeated occasionally since. With the spread of the Internet in the 1990s, it has been reported more often as a reproduction of facts and presented as evidence for the existence of time travel.
It sounds like that possibly,allegedly 100% Men in Black had visited Jack Finney similarly to for instance nowadays one guy from one of episodes of original The X-Files TV mini-series of where one of Men in Black got inside to someone else garage similarly like Batman’s Hideout while riding with Batmobile straight to the Bat Cave Top Secret Hideout…etc.
Something something planet Venus and death threatening him.
