Possible Evidence of Time Travellers.

[Falkon303]

Two researchers are using Google Trends by searching for existence of things before they actually occurred, such as "Pope Francis", and looking if there is a hit before he was elected.

Their paper - http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1312/1312.7128.pdf

I decided to do some research of my own, and found this -

Google Trends

Barack Obama was elected in 2008, but if you look around 2004, you will see two hits. The probability of those two words coinciding *is* a possibility, but it would be a strange coincidence.

I have emailed the findings to the researchers already, but also would love to hear thoughts from you all.

I researched if Obama had been campaigning in 2004,

"Smith does note, however, that Obama’s first stop in Iowa was “notably early: October 4, 2004 in Davenport, right across the river from Illinois, where he was still just a state senator."

also

"Dan Shomon, an Obama aide at the time, also told Smith he didn’t recall any presidential planning in 2004."

Well I looked it up. I found Obama's speech from July 27th, 2004 when he won the senate seat, becoming the fifth african american to hold a seat on the senate. He does make mention to then presidental canidate John Kerry, and claims that Kerry will be elected in November.

Another hit is this: "The Great Black Hope" by Benjamin Wallace-Wells

It just talks about african american's who have now taken reigns of political power and grasps at the idea that someday there could be a black president.

That's about it really. Then it jumps to 2007 where he announces his candidacy for presidency.

Your google skills are most excellent. Thanks.
