How about taking a leap in time and providing documentary evidence of your passage, on your return?
Ask Stelfie the Time Traveller, who during the month of last December created a real travel diary, jumping from one place to another, from era to era. We can see him posing in front of the pyramids still under construction, chased by a mammoth, smiling next to Leonardo da Vinci. Look, we often talk about travel and time travellers and finally we have proof of the veracity of the claims of the so-called multidimensional pilgrims. Actually, no. In reality the explanation is much simpler, less scientific, but absolutely worthy of being reported.
Our hero – a true innovator – has been playing with Stable Diffusion, a deep learning image synthesis model that lets people create imaginary scenes using text descriptions called prompts. With an additional technique called Dreambooth, people can insert their own subject or character into the scenes generated by Stable Diffusion.
Who knows if what Stelfie inaugurated might inspire someone to create a real virtual reality in which everyone, with their own avatar, can really live the adventures presented by our friendly precursor of time travel, through ad hoc scripts that make us at least think we are experiencing something truly extraordinary and unique. Obviously wearing comfortable clothing and snappy sneakers. It is a good habit to be ready to escape. You never know when a pterodactyl might start chasing us…
