People Are Now Convinced That Old Photo Is ‘Proof Of Time Travel’ As It Shows Kid Holding ‘iPad’

As Apple details all on its latest line of tech products at an event later today, many have been left convinced a photo from 1941 shows a child holding an iPad.

Even though there is no evidence to support the existence of time travel, it is still a hot topic of discussion in 2024—something that social media has undoubtedly contributed to.

Over the years, there have been many opposing reports. This year, scientists found evidence of the existence of “time travel.”

A study published in Nature Physics named ‘Time reversibility during the ageing of materials’ focused on time effectively ‘shuffling’ in the structure of certain materials like glass.

The study found that time doesn’t exactly behave in a linear manner, though scientists were not able to determine whether the changes are happening forwards or backwards.

The results did offer some hope that time travel is feasible.

Nevertheless, scientists had definitively ruled out time travel last November, which further clouded the issue.

However, the time travel controversy has recently returned due to an old image that was shared on Reddit.

Social media users have been left in shock by a snap taken some 83 years ago in 1941.

Edwin Rosskam took the photo, which shows a group of youngsters waiting in line to enter a Chicago cinema.

Although it’s amazing to observe how children lived during World War II, there’s one child in particular that everyone on Reddit is talking about.

A boy on the far-right of the shot has many talking, with some believing he may have an iPad in his hand.

This is just about unfeasible. As the first iPad was released in 2010, Reddit users have determined that time travel is the only plausible explanation.

One person commented, “iPad carrying movie goes, all the way to the right,” while another said the image shows “proof of time travel.”

Numerous additional Reddit users poured into the post’s comments section with some more grounded answers.

“Just getting that early practice pirating films is all. Back in the day of early film, usher’s scanned the audience for pens and notepads as to prevent bootleg recreations of the film,” one user exclaimed.

And another added: “It’s most likely The Holy Bible. They have their Sunday best on, bless their wee souls. Yes, I definitely think that’s what it is.”
