Youtube time traveling video doubts

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on skepticism regarding YouTube videos claiming evidence of time travel. It emphasizes that there is currently no scientifically validated method for time travel, with theoretical concepts like wormholes and closed timelike curves relying on hypothetical entities that have not been observed. The conversation highlights the ease of creating convincing fake content due to affordable photo editing software and advanced AI tools, suggesting that the likelihood of such videos being fabricated is significantly higher than them being genuine.

There is no known way to time travel. Time-travel-like things that can exist in theories (wormholes, closed timelike curves, etc) all require things that we've never seen and we suspect don't exist.

Also, Photoshop is pretty cheap and some people are pretty good with it. And modern AI tools lower the barrier to convincing fakery a long way.

So yes, far, far more likely to be fake than not.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
