What do you think would be the best evidence a time traveler can provide to show you he's / she's without a doubt legit? Would you actually need the time traveler to show you that his/her time machine works?
Here's a quick list of examples I thought about:
These items are in no particular order, but some of them are obviously more convincing than others... or are they? Let's face it, the time traveler bringing you back in time with him is a pretty easy one. But if the TT can't show his machine to anyone for instance... what happens then? He has to show us stuff and tell us information.
What kind of evidence can a time traveler provide us with that would be convincing enough? Are time travelers showing up online condemned to be unconvincing?
What can they do?
Here's a quick list of examples I thought about:
- A photo or a video that is obviously from another time period.
- An object that comes from the future
- The proof of a timeline shift
- The time traveler showing you his time machine
- The time traveler bringing you to another time period with his machine
- A prediction that is spot on
- Information that couldn't be acquired by other means
