What day is it?

December 8 is celebrated Day of the time traveler. If you translate the name of this holiday literally, it sounds like “The day you can pretend to be a time traveler.” The holiday appeared on the Internet more than 20 years ago thanks to fans of science fiction. They proposed an original way of celebration – pretending to be people who arrived from another time.

The idea of ​​such a journey has puzzled people’s minds for a long time. This topic was highlighted in their works by science fiction writers, and directors shot spectacular feature films. Scientists also did not remain aloof, and after the discovery of Einstein’s general theory, they began to work on creating a machine that would allow you to travel to the desired time.

But there is great danger in such attractive journeys, because no one can say for sure whether changing the past affects future events. The great science fiction writer Ray Bradbury described the possibility of such an outcome in And There Came Thunder, when the main character accidentally stepped on a butterfly while traveling back in time.

But just pretending to be such a traveler on December 8 is safe and fun. Therefore, it is worth making arrangements with friends and making this day unforgettable.
