If you’re a fan of Doctor Who or Back To The Future, you might have always wanted to step into a time machine to be whisked away to another point in history. The scientific theory of today tells us that time travel is impossible and should be relegated to the realm of science fiction—but, these pictures potentially tell another story.

It’s easy to imagine Matthew McConaughey as a time traveler. It’s easy to see him as one, too, if you’ve seen one particular movie of his. But could he really have found a time travel machine in our time, messed around with the past, and returned to the present day?

Take a look at this one. Proof of time travel might well be staring you in the face. Do you see it yet? The man in the center of the photograph looks strangely out of place when compared to the well-dressed people around him. His clothes, his hair, and his expression look odd.

If time travel science fiction is anything to off of, we know that the punk style will survive at least until humanity begins traveling to other star systems. Could this be evidence of a punk visiting the 1900s in an attempt to shake up the status quo?

If anyone could time travel, it would be the legendary Nick Cage. Not even the laws of physics can hold him. This uncanny side-by-side compares the 58-year-old actor with a 158-year-old unnamed Tennessee man from times gone by.

Here’s an image of a crowd in British Columbia in the 1940s. See anything odd about this one? Check out the man in red. He looks like he’s wearing shades and holding some kind of device in his hands. Maybe a phone, camera, or portable time travel gadget?

If this woman is a time traveler, she’s really got her history muddled up. Cell phones weren’t really in use until the 1990s or the later 1980s at the earliest—and they certainly wouldn’t look as small and compact as this model seems to be. Then again, if she is a time traveler, she could be using an interplanetary communicator or something even more technologically advanced.

While some might argue that Bruce Willis simply has an enduring, old-timey look about him that resonates no matter the time period, one look at this comparison shot could make you question everything you thought you knew about science, time travel, and nautical engineering.

This piece of evidence comes from Charlie Chaplin’s The Circus, produced in 1928. That’s right—if you own a copy of this movie, you can play it back and check it out for yourself. Charlie Chaplin was known for having friends from all over the world—could it be that he had friends from another time, too?

Having the power of time travel doesn’t mean you have to go as far back as 100 years to have a good time. Boxing fans with this power might be tempted to hop back to 1995 when Mike Tyson was punching in his prime. If you look carefully in the background of this shot, you may notice a familiar item.

If you look at the bottom of this picture, you might be able to make out something strange in this person’s hand. It looks suspiciously like a cell phone—specifically a flip phone. It even seems to have a screen depicting the trophy-shaking action.

Here’s a colorized photograph depicting working-class people taking a vacation to the seaside. If you look right at the center of the photo, you might notice a man in unusual clothes—unusual for the beach, anyway. It’s a man in a brown suit holding something strange.

This picture, taken in a cathedral in Salamanca, Spain, had everyone up in arms about time travel after it made its rounds on the internet. It’s easy to see why. Why would a cathedral built in the 16th century depict a spaceman with a helmet, space boots, and spacesuit? How?

On the right is a picture of America’s much-celebrated fall guy, Jimmy Fallon. On the left is the Turkish Marxist-Leninist Revolutionary Leader, Mahir Cayan. It turns out that Cayan died sometime in 1972, aged 26—or did he!? Could it be that he survived, traveled forward in time, moved to America, and eventually worked his way up to talk show host?

You’re looking at a fine art painting by Pieter de Hooch, completed in 1670. The boy on the right is supposed to be a messenger relaying information from a far-off place, but to us, it looks like he just stopped to check his cell phone’s notifications. He could be relaying something off of messenger, maybe.

The rulers of ancient Egypt tended to get buried with their most valuable possessions, which they would take with them to the afterlife if their hearts were judged to be pure enough. This mummy seems to have been buried with a pair of his most valuable Adidas kicks.

You’re looking at a picture of downtown Reykjavík, Iceland, in 1943. At the center of this image, there appears to be a man in a hat listening to one of his voice notes or checking his voicemail. What else could he be doing, holding his hand to his ear like that?

This photo, taken from a New York public library, may be definitive proof that Jay-Z, like his music, is timeless. The man in the photo goes nameless (we know it’s Jay), but as you can see, there’s a great resemblance between the two, especially in these photos.

World War II was a major event in human history. It shaped the culture of the entire species in one way or another, so it’s no wonder that time travelers would be interested in this period. Take a look at this colorized image of World War II. What do you make of it? Fact or fiction?

The black and white photo on the right shows a picture of a woman who has a remarkable likeness to the climate change activist Greta Thunberg. Since Greta’s efforts to steer humanity’s collective sleepwalking away from oblivion seem to be going unheeded, is it possible she went 100 years into the past to try again at an earlier date?

Here’s a picture by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller. It depicts a woman walking down a country path while a man with pink flowers waits for her. She seems to be too distracted by her cell phone to notice him, however.

From these photographs spanning over 100 years, you wouldn’t be blamed for thinking that the Russian warmonger has been around for a lot longer than he looks. It might explain why he loves putting the military to work—he seems to have been in it for over a century.

Apparently, this man, Andrew Carlssin, first appeared in 2002—literally. There was no record of his existence before that time. After the Securities and Exchange Commission investigated him for his uncannily lucky stock market dealings, he vanished without a trace.

This photo was once put up for auction for $50,000 as proof of immortality or time travel. As you can see, the old-fashioned gentleman in the picture does strike a surprising resemblance to John Travolta, seen here on the right.

This is an ominous ad to put in the paper. Is it a prank or a genuine call for help in taking care of some time business? It looks like something you would see on Rick And Morty if the cartoon actually dealt with time travel.

This is a still from the 1953 movie, Niagara, starring Marilyn Monroe. This certainly isn’t a personal makeup mirror—it has to be an iPhone from 2019 in the hands of a time tourist, evident by the phone camera on the back!

See the kid in this picture, taken at Gettysburg in 1863? A man named Andrew Basiago claims to have been that boy after being sent back in time in the 1970s. It was all a part of a secret project called “Project Pegasus,” according to Basiago, now a Seattle-based attorney.

Anyone who’s seen Game of Thrones or Avengers: Infinity War will recognize this man, Peter Dinklage. When you look at this picture, it’s easy to imagine him traveling through time to get immersed in what a medieval society would look like.

This is an odd one: this artifact was found in China. It appears to be a miniature version of a Swiss watch, and apparently, it was engraved with the words “swiss” on the back. How extraordinary! The watch was found in the tomb of Si Qing.

You’re looking at a picture of a man in a civil war army uniform—no, this wasn’t taken during the civil war. It’s a movie still. That’s Henry Fonda in the uniform, on the set of Stagecoach, filmed in 1939. But wait, if it’s 1939, what could he be holding in his hand?

Notice anything strange about this image of a man in the street taken in the 1960s? That’s right, he’s cruising down the street on a skateboard. It’s odd because skateboards only really came around in the mid-70s.

Now here’s a man who was truly ahead of his time. Among his other inventions and designs was this: the world’s first helicopter. Where did he get the idea for something like this? Could he have gotten his ideas from a mysterious visitor from the future?

Take a moment to time travel with us—back to a simpler time, back when he hosted SNL and starred in movies like Trading Places and Beverly Hills cop. Well, anyway, here’s a picture of the comedy legend side by side with a familiar face.

Would you believe us if we told you that this photograph was taken in 1860? It’s true! But you may be thinking to yourself: “But planes, at least commercial flights, hadn’t been invented back then? Well, you’d be right.

If you’ve been on the internet for more than a week, you might have seen a picture like this. Here’s Keanu Reeves fresh out of the 1530s, painted by a man named Francesco Maria Mazzola.

This painting seems to depict a group of men gathering around what appears to be a compact disc—or a CD—in amazement. The painting was completed at some point in the 1800s, so it can’t be a CD case, can it?

We’d know that mop of hair and surly look anywhere—it’s Conan O’Brien and a picture of him when he was younger. Wait, that’s not quite right. Actually, the second photograph is actually of Marshall H. Twitchell, an officer in the Civil War.

It isn’t clear who the photo on the right belongs to, but we think we have the answer—none other than the time-traveling pop superstar Justin Timberlake, of course. While he may not have any credits in a time travel caper, he took the leading role in In Time, which is tenuously related to time travel, right?

According to this clipping, the US government once dipped its toes into temporal tampering in a government-funded lab. Apparently, things didn’t go perfectly to plan. One man was found in a field in what they described as a two-foot-long “space tube.”

You have to admit this one is uncanny. No, that’s not Matt Damon acting in a black and white period drama. That’s a real photo taken back in the late 50s or early 60s. You might argue that Matt Damon has a classic, regularly-handsome guy type-look. But just look at that smile and jawline! Uncanny.
