'Time traveller' from year 6000 shows picture of future city to prove he's real

A self-proclaimed 'time traveller' has shared his extraordinary account of life in the year 6000, complete with a supposed photograph of a future cityscape. The individual, who has concealed his identity by blurring his face, alleges that he was part of a clandestine time travel experiment in the 1990s.

He describes a world 4000 years from now where medical breakthroughs, governmental systems, and technological advancements render our current existence comparatively 'primitive'. Speaking with a disguised voice, the 'time traveller' asserts that humanity enjoys a harmonious existence under the watchful governance of a kind AI overlord.

The peculiar footage, which was posted on ApexTV, a YouTube channel known for delving into enigmas and supernatural occurrences depicts the man rendezvousing with a journalist at an undisclosed site to disclose his insights on 'secret technologies' and what lies ahead for humankind in the year 6000.

In the video, he purports to have photographic evidence to substantiate the reality of time travel. Nevertheless, the image presented is notably fuzzy, which he claims is a common side effect of temporal displacement.

"In the time travel process pictures tend to get distorted, as well as many other things," he explains. He further acknowledges the scepticism his tale might evoke: "I know a lot of you are going to find my story extremely hard to believe and I don't blame you and if I was watching somebody claim these same things I myself would most likely not believe them.", reports the Mirror.

"It is not my intention to deceive anybody, I simply want to spread a message about the future of humanity and where the world is heading. I have seen the way the world's changed and the technologies that have emerged it would blow your mind if you only knew the technologies that exist in the year 6000."

The 'time traveller' then begins to cry as he reveals that he left a close friend behind who can never return. "I know he's in a good place," the man said.

"In a way the future is like a utopia but sadly when we attempted to travel back we couldn't. I just wanted to see him one more time."

Before the video ends, the man claims that future technology will allow people to shrink down so space won't be a problem, as seen in the film Downsizing, starring Matt Damon. He also claims that time travel will become common knowledge by 2028, meaning we don't have to wait long to find out if he is telling the truth or not.
