Back in mid-October of 2010, a scene from Charlie Chaplin's "The Circus" (1928) went viral on the web. the clip shows the hustle and bustle of people in Hollywood attending a premier at then Grauman's Chinese Theater. Irish filmmaker George Clark made an odd discovery: a man (or a woman) walks into the scene wearing a long black coat and appears to hold something akin to a cell phone up to his/her ear.
An alleged time traveler, according to some. Jumping to conclusions, are we?
Since the video circulated on the web, much has been said against the time traveler theory. Here are some obvious flaws to the time traveler theory.
Time Traveler Theory Hitches:
Even if someone had traveled back in time to 1928, cell phones would not work as there are no cell phone towers.
Time travel is still very much theoretical.
No one in the scene thinks anything of the alleged cellular phone, so if they're not worried - why are we?
Recently, the Charlie Chaplin Time Traveler clip was debunked. The alleged cell phone is actually an early form of a Siemens hearing aid, shaped much like a cellular phone and held up against the ear.
