10 Most Compelling Pieces Of Evidence That Prove Time Travel Exists

Turns out that Batman isn't the world's greatest detective; that title has to go to the internet. Reddit has fingered criminal suspects, Catfish has started a whole grass roots industry for seeking out online fraudsters, and the collective inquisitive minds of the web have managed to find proof of time travel in the most unlikely places. Such as, for example, a short clip taken from a special feature on the DVD version of the Charlie Chaplin film The Circus.
When the clip was uploaded to YouTube with annotations, everybody started freaking out. Quite understandably, since in the background of a crowd amassed at the films Grauman's Chinese Theatre premiere in 1928, there appeared to be someone using a mobile phone. Yep, holding something up to the ear, that's for sure.
Historians have tried to spoil our fun since then by suggesting that the item in question isn't a modern cell phone being used by a time traveller but an early hearing aid that just happened to look like a phone. Psht. Sounds like a bit of a stretch to us. It's definitely a time traveller, boffins, just accept it. We suppose this woman touring the a DuPont factory in 1938 was also using one of these old-timey hearing aids too, huh?
Then there's the time that Henry Fonda and Shirley Temple thought to check their stagecoach route on an iPhone in the movie Fort Apache, back in 1948. Pretty impressive that they get 3G coverage out there in the desert, not to mention a good half-century before such technology was even invented. We guess either one or both of those Hollywood actors were time travellers, which would make sense, cos celebrities get access to all the cool gadgets way before any of us.
