The concept of time travel has been a topic of intrigue and debate for years.

Recent studies, such as one published in *Nature Physics*, have explored the non-linear behavior of time in certain materials.

However, these studies do not substantiate the possibility of actual time travel.

Despite some promising findings, definitive proof of time travel remains elusive. Last year, scientists ruled out the possibility of time travel, adding to the ongoing confusion.

The 1941 photo has certainly stirred imaginations and fueled discussions about time travel.
