A man who claims to have been sent to the year 2118 by the CIA has shared his predictions of the future, including a third world war, extraterrestrial life, and AI dominance. The supposed time traveller, who gave his name as Alexander Smith, claims he participated in top-secret Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) trials throughout the 1980s.
The alleged time traveller appeared on the popular YouTube conspiracy channel ApexTV, where he "came forward with fresh revelations" about what awaits us in years to come. Hidden beneath a human-shaped latex disguise, Mr Smith insisted he was transported to the year 2118 by the CIA back in 1981.
Why He Came Forward
Mr Smith said: "The world as we know it will change a lot and I feel it being beneficial to humanity to know not only about this change but also about the secret technologies being withheld from the public."
"After my original video and after the second interview I did, in which I showed the photograph taken in the year 2118, I have decided it is time to share every detail of my experience. I believe the people deserve to know. I believe that you, whoever is out there watching this, I believe that you deserve to know the truth because I feel it would be beneficial to the human race about what is happening behind closed doors."
World War Three and a Connected Future
According to this self-proclaimed time voyager, Earth faces a third global war sometime within the next century. Mr Smith asserted that in future times, most of humanity will be confined to massive metropolises crammed with bizarre technology, artificial intelligence machines, alien beings, and airborne transport.
This stems from his claim that the globe was hit by a "conflict of interests" between the United States and North Korea at some point in the coming years. He claimed: "The conflict started off small, however, it soon spread and Russia soon took the side of North Korea. Tensions began to escalate and eventually missiles were fired. I can't say where these missiles hit, however, I can say the effects were not what one may consider desirable. However, as a result of this conflict, the world began to become one."
"Borders began to become meaningless and the people began to have a love and appreciation for life - one which would inspire them not to inflict any type of harm upon their neighbour. As a result of that, of the conflict, which some might describe as a Third World War, the world became a better place."
Time Travel and Alien Disclosure
Mr Smith continued by outlining how society is extraordinarily "connected" in the future, with incredible robots and technology integrated into everyday existence. He even claimed that commercial time travel becomes available to ordinary people in the future, as early as the year 2028. That same year, the US Government will also allegedly disclose the existence of intelligent extraterrestrial life.
Despite these wildly unconventional claims about time travel, there remains precious little credible evidence to back up their authenticity. Physicist Gary Horowitz, from the University of California at Santa Barbara, suggests that time travel isn't entirely out of the question and isn't prohibited by natural laws. However, there's no concrete evidence to suggest that humans can traverse through time, either backwards or forwards, as Mr Smith has outlined.
William Hiscock, a physics professor at Montana State University, told Scientific American: "Time travel into the past, which is what people usually mean by time travel, is a much more uncertain proposition. There are many solutions to Einstein's equation of General Relativity that allow a person to follow a timeline that would result in her or him encountering himself - or her grandmother - at an earlier time."
"The problem is deciding whether these solutions represent situations that could occur in the real universe, or whether they are mathematical oddities incompatible with known physics."
