The story of John Titor is also quite strange. In the early 2000s, a person claiming to be John Titor from the year 2036 posted on the Internet. He talked about time travel technology and future events, like a coming civil war in the United States. He gave detailed descriptions of his time machine, which he said was based on some sort of miniature black - hole generator. Many people were intrigued by his posts, but it's also possible it was just an elaborate hoax.
There's the story of Rudolf Fentz. In 1950, a man dressed in 19th - century clothing suddenly appeared in Times Square, New York. He seemed very confused. Witnesses said he looked around in bewilderment and was then hit by a car and died. When the police investigated, they found items on him like business cards and currency from the 1800s. It's a mystery that some believe could be related to time travel, though there could be other explanations like a very elaborate prank or a confused mental state leading to dressing in old - fashioned clothes.
One interesting time travel story is the legend of Rip Van Winkle. He fell asleep in the Catskill Mountains and when he woke up, many years had passed as if he had time - traveled. Another is the story of the Philadelphia Experiment, where the U.S. Navy was supposedly experimenting with making a ship invisible, but some accounts claim it led to time - travel - like effects with sailors disappearing and reappearing in different times.
One of the most bizarre elements is the idea of changing the past without causing major paradoxes. In some stories, a character goes back in time, changes something small, and yet the whole future is completely different. Another strange element is time loops, where a person or event is stuck repeating over and over again. It's really mind - boggling how these things are presented in time travel stories.
In my opinion, strange time travel stories are mostly fictional. While science does have some theories that touch on time travel, like wormholes, we haven't been able to prove that time travel is possible. These stories are great for entertainment though. They let our minds wander and consider things like what if we could go back and prevent a bad event from happening. But until there's scientific evidence, they'll remain in the realm of fantasy.
A very famous one is 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court' by Mark Twain. The main character is transported back in time to the era of King Arthur. He uses his modern - day knowledge to try to change the course of events in that historical period.
One interesting short story could be 'The Guns of the South' by Harry Turtledove. It involves time travel where Confederates are given AK - 47s, which completely changes the course of the American Civil War. Another is 'By His Bootstraps' by Robert A. Heinlein. It's a mind - bending time travel story that plays with the idea of self - causation in an alternate timeline.
The dancing plague of 1518 is also quite strange. In Strasbourg, France, a woman named Frau Troffea started dancing in the street and couldn't stop. Soon, more than 400 people joined her in this uncontrollable dancing. It lasted for days, and theories range from mass hysteria to food poisoning.
In Dr Strange time travel fanfiction, time dilation is an interesting concept. Maybe Dr Strange travels to a dimension where time moves much slower or faster than in his own world. This can cause all sorts of problems and opportunities. He might find that while only a few minutes have passed for him, years have gone by in his home dimension, or vice versa. This can lead to him coming back to a very different world than the one he left, and having to deal with the consequences.
I'm not sure which transmigration novel you're referring to,"Strange Flower". If I can provide more information, I will try my best to provide you with a more detailed answer.
One such story is about the Dancing Plague of 1518. In Strasbourg, France, a woman named Frau Troffea started dancing in the street and couldn't stop. Then, within a week, around 400 people joined her in this uncontrollable dancing. It lasted for days and days. Doctors had no idea how to stop it. It was a very strange and true event in history.
There is also the story of H. G. Wells' 'The Time Machine'. Although it is a work of fiction, it has influenced the concept of time travel in history. The protagonist in the story travels to the far future and witnesses the evolution of humanity into two different species, the Eloi and the Morlocks. This story made people start to seriously think about the possibilities of time travel and what the future might hold.
