Now we have proof that time travel is possible.
Here is, caught on tape, a person with a cell phone in 1928. LOL.

A Belfast film-maker has posted a video on the internet showing what he says could be evidence of time travelling.
George Clarke from east Belfast has been puzzled for more than a year by a scene in a film which appears to show a woman talking on a mobile phone.
The unusual thing is that the movie was made by Charlie Chaplin in 1928 – long before mobile phones were invented.

He said no-one has been able to provide an explanation.
Since posting it on Youtube it has had more that 1.5m views and provoked 10,000 comments.
“A mystery like this one, bottom line I don’t think we’re ever going to find out,” George said.
“My initial reaction was that’s a mobile phone, they weren’t around then, my only explanation – and I’m pretty open-minded about the sci-fi element of things – it was kind of like wow that’s somebody that’s went back in time.”
