“The distinction between the past, present and future is only an illusion, however persistent.” –Albert Einstein
These days, even respected physicists like Stephen Hawking are being forced to admit that time travel may be possible. But has it already happened? These people say it has.

Father Pellegrino Ernetti was a Benedictine monk and respected authority on archaic music. He also claimed to have co-invented—as part of a team that included Nobel Prize-winning physicist Enrico Fermi and German rocket scientist Werner von Braun—the “chronovisor,” a device that looked like a television butcould tune in to events from the past.
According to Ernetti, he had observed the last supper and Christ’s crucifixion, as well as Napoleon and Cicero. The team had later voluntarily dismantled the device, because in the wrong hands, it could create “the most fearsome dictatorship the world has ever seen.” It had been inspired, he said, by Nostradamus—who had personally related to him the device’s possibilities.
When pressed for evidence, Ernetti produced a picture of Christ on the cross reportedly photographed through the chronovisor. After the photo’s resemblance to a carving by Cullot Valera was noticed, however, Ernetti was forced to admit the photo was a fake. Nevertheless, Ernetti insisted the chronovisor was real.

n 1932, German newspaper reporter J. Bernard Hutton and photographer Joachim Brandt reportedly visited the Hamburg shipyard to do interviews for a story. As they were leaving, they heard the drone of aircraft engines. Looking up, they saw the sky filled with warplanes. Bombs began exploding around them, and within a short time, the area was a raging inferno.
Brandt snapped pictures of the devastation and the two drove back into Hamburg, but when the film was developed, there was no evidence of the attack. The pairs’ editor accused the men of being drunk and discounted their story. Afterward, Hutton moved to London, where he supposedly saw a newspaper story in 1943

    Imagine living in a society in which the government monitors your every move. That sets the scene of George Orwell's 1984. Winston Smith, the protagonist of this novel, lives in such a society, and his job is to modify history by altering old newspaper records to coincide with the new reality decided by the Party. Therefore, it has complete and utter control of its subjects: a totalitarian government. To reinforce its authority, the Party has slogans that hold its ideals and major beliefs. One of these slogans are "Who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past." This, as a whole, means that the past has an effect on the future, for previous events that occurred ensure the mindset of the people in the future, and whether or not they want to repeat history. Also, the Party controls the people in the present, and can therefore control the past with the authority to go back and modify history on paper to control what is being taught to the masses.…

    The key events that British officials used to create a “master narrative” consists of three events that contributed to the propaganda regime. The series of events were the barbaric acts committed by the German troops during the invasion of Belgium in 1914, The execution of the nurse Edith Cavell, and the sinking of the Lusitania where 1,200 civilians perished. Jo Fox also explains how the use of barbaric weaponry contributed to the effective use of the propaganda.

    Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five treats one of the most horrific massacres of World War II—the firebombing of Dresden. Dresden was completely wiped out by more than 3900 tons of high-explosive bombs and incendiary devices dropped by the thousands of heavy bombers. By detailing the devastating effect of the air bombing in Dresden and alluding to the evil of technology through the Trafalmadorians’ stories, Vonnegut criticizes the application of technology in war. He indicates that technology represents a regression of civilization, because the use of technology in war allows people to bomb one another “back to the stone age”.…

    In modern day people live their life and are determined to better their future from their past. This means that the past that I have already lived is what created the path, walkway, stepping stones for who I want to become in the future and, what I plan on accomplishing in life. I live for this belief because it is the reason why I do what I am doing today. The plan that I thought I was destined to take three days ago might have been altered today, and I might have to found a new path to follow.…

    After carefully analyzing “Thought” by Louis H. Sullivan, it is evident that he believes the basis of creativity lies within thought. Fascinated with the power of thought, he begins to correlate the hinderance of creativity with the usage of words. He dives into a very mysterious yet relatable topic about thinking in the past, present, and future. The focus of his argument which caught my attention was thinking about the past or future. By thinking about the past or future, are we making significant decisions in the present based off of those thoughts? I believe so, but only for people who are committed to improving and can envision themselves in situations yet to come. A proper balance of learning from the past and planning for the future…

    Perhaps, in the following essay I put a quart into a pint pot, because I intend to puzzle out, or rather, find and give a deeper insight into Walt Whitman's sexuality that is still a question on agenda. There are readers and critics who state that it is a shame to humble his poetry to this level, but I think that he was homosexual in his era the topic cannot be left untouched, because therefore this factor was very influential on his everyday life, thinking and hence on his poetry, too.…
