Human beings have invented some pretty impressive stuff. From the wheel to the printing press to the iPhone and beyond in, from the perspective of all of time, the blink of the eye. Some human-made experimental weapons may have even caused our friends at the Dyatlov Pass Incident from our last episode to flee their tent in the dead of the Russian winter to meet their deaths. Speaking of everything that has ever happened ever, here’s a question for you: is time travel possible? Seems impossible but let’s says it is not. Let’s say you travel back in time to Europe to the early 1600s and show the townsfolk what level of Best Fiends you’ve reached on you iPhone (no internet required). Not only would this totally normal 21st century thing seem impossible to them but you’d probably also find your ass thrown into the closest pond with an anxious crowd watching to see if you’d float and are therefore a witch who must be executed or sink and drown proving your innocence but also you’re dead. My point is this – maybe given the right smarty pants people in the right circumstance time travel is possible. In this episode, we’ll tell you about a couple of guys who claimed to invent their own version of a time machine. I don’t know how true these stories are but I do know this: they are some weird.
