If anyone was a time traveler, it was George Orwell.

I don't know how many people are actually serious about believing it... but people are strange.
What I find interesting is that one of the smartest men of our generation (Hawking) has floated similarly "crazy" ideas (the multiverse, for one) but no one questions his MENSA credentials. I wonder why it is that some theories (flat earth... or time-traveling propaganda props) are considered crazy... while others (multiverse... dark matter...) are- at the very least- considered worthy of speculation.

Because those people are highly educated minds that have an unquestioned understanding of physics; they posit theories, and welcome other scholars to challenge and pick them apart so as to eventually form a better understanding of the subject matter... the other side consists of religious zealots with YouTube accounts who don't follow the scientific method.

Same old argument as always, pumpf. "But I'm just asking questions!" Yeah, we know. Stick to football.
