Do you remember in Back to the Future, Part II , when Old Biff travels back in time and gives his younger self a sports almanac? A book that gives Young Biff knowledge of future sporting victories and allows him to make a fortune? Looks like a similar thing has happened in real life….

In my last time travel-themed article , I explored the possibility that time travellers might be among us.

Have I just stumbled upon more evidence of this? A few weeks ago, a friend of mine sent me the above newspaper clipping. An article about an alleged time traveller called Andrew Carlssin, who had skipped a court appearance and disappeared.

In brief, the story goes that on January 28th , Andrew Carlssin was arrested and detained for insider trading. But when investigators questioned him, trying to find out his sources, he offered an alternative explanation for his knowledge of the stock market. He claimed to have travelled back in time from armed with knowledge of future stocks.

But then, shortly after his release on bail, he disappeared and could not be traced. But what makes the article more intriguing is that apparently Carlssin correctly predicted the exact date of the US invasion of Iraq, and that no record of him existed before I obviously had to do some more probing into this rather fantastical story.

The first article about Carlssin and the follow-up article in the above clipping originated in a newspaper called the Weekly World News, published in the US between and A story about a surgeon who reattached a pair of Siamese twins when they failed to pay their medical bill for the separation procedure.

And look at some of these corkers…. Problem was, sometimes reputable news publications got hold of their stories and reprinted them without making it clear that they were coming from a fictional newspaper.

This is what happened with the Andrew Carlssin story, which was re-reported by Yahoo!

Hence it became an urban legend. The tale was re-printed later as though it was real. But — unlike the Carlssin story, which most people agree is a hoax — the Rudolph Fentz tale remains somewhat unclear.

Others claim to have discovered evidence proving the existence of the real Rudolph Fentz…. Could it be that both the Fentz and Carlssin cases are being branded myths and hoaxes to cover up the truth?

That time travellers really are among us? Aside from the fact that there is no record at all aside from a Weekly World News article there is an obvious error in judgement here that is not so obvious: Bear in mind it took is less that years to switch from a gold backed currency to a credit based system and that the appearance alone of many major currencies has change drastically over the last few decades. Present money would be as unto monopoly money.

I think its completely untrue as well, but your point about currency being nothing of value is ludicrous.

Old money is most often more valuable, hence us having rare coins and bills that are usually extremely valuable..

Why do you think he must have brought the currency from the future? He could have brought something valuable other than actual currency note, such as precious stone, and exchange it to money in the time. Even if we see them they can go back in time and change the time line. Everyone knows that, Weekly World News is for humor, not real news. But I do believe Carlssin is a real time traveler.

Maybe in years to come time travel will be possible for anyone. If there were time travelers. We would see Time Police constantly popping in trying to hunt down these individuals. We have seen none of this activity. Perhaps the US dollar becomes obselete and collectors will pay a pretty penny to lay their hands on one. Think of the way we collect valuable coins now.
