Time travellers among us?

In 2010 the Internet was all about talk of time travel — and it had nothing to do with the 25th anniversary of Back To The Future film. The big news was the discovery of some old Charlie Chaplin footage from the 1920s which appeared to show a woman talking on a cell phone. In 2013 another sensational black-and-white film shot in 1938 was discovered showing a group of young people, possibly factory workers, walking out of a building. A dark-haired girl in a light-coloured dress smiles into the camera, her hand pressed to her ear. She is holding what looks to be a large portable phone.

The newspapers reported it was clear proof that time travel had been invented, and that we were being monitored by people from the future at all times, probably even in the bathroom ...

For your info

The first hand held mobile phone was invented in the 1970s.

34 Прочтите первую часть текста «Путешественники во времени среди нас?». Согласны ли вы, что это является доказательством путешествий во времени, или вы можете придумать какие-либо другие объяснения?

Ответ:

I don't agree that this is evidence of time travel. It seems more like a coincidence or a misunderstanding. The woman in the Charlie Chaplin film could be holding a portable hearing aid, which looked like a large receiver back then. The girl from the 1938 film might not be holding a phone at all; perhaps she's just scratching her ear or adjusting her hair, and the object in her hand is something else, like a small purse. Old films are often blurry, so it's easy to see things that aren't really there.

Я не согласен, что это доказательство путешествий во времени. Это больше похоже на совпадение или недоразумение. Женщина в фильме Чарли Чаплина могла держать портативный слуховой аппарат, который в то время выглядел как большая трубка. Девушка из фильма 1938 года, возможно, вообще не держит телефон; может быть, она просто чешет ухо или поправляет волосы, а предмет в ее руке — что-то другое, например, маленькая сумочка. Старые фильмы часто бывают размытыми, поэтому легко увидеть то, чего на самом деле нет.
