Question about Back to the Future

1972 Pontiac LeMans | Duffy's Classic Cars same color as mine was

Drool, slaver and envy! Nice motor mate!

No, you're not weird. That much said, if a dude came up to me and told me that he was from a different time, I wouldn't believe it.

Pretty much my thoughts too. There is currently no basis for time travel within the current laws of physics as we know them.

Was a good movie series. I think I would find time travel far fetched as well.

That's the key words: ...as we know them.
Time changes everything as we make our trips around the sun.
But, I would also be very hard to convince of someone giving proof they are time travelers.
I hold an open mind on just about everything, but, what could they offer as proof?
Whatever was offered I would probably think it was some elaborate spoof.

If their clothes were of a design I hadn't seen before and of a material that wasn't typical, they spoke like people in my area with some unexplained slang, and displayed some values in the form of assumptions that one might have predicted future-people would have (like, say, assuming a black man would be mayor during the early days of the civil rights movement), I would at least have given them some benefit of the doubt. But I would have been very on-guard about slip-ups.

Yes, maybe that is more where I am coming from. I would give them the benefit of the doubt. I would not just believe them, but I would not just disbelieve them either. Disbelief is not my general rule. Where as in the movie, it seemed that the people all just disbelieved. I didn't get that. I would have listened and heard them out.

I've often wondered that if I traveled through time, how could I prove to anyone that I was telling the truth that I was from a different era? If I traveled back into the 1980's from when I was a kid, people would probably be like, "If you're from the year 2018, why aren't you dressed in a spandex bodysuit? Where's your robot sidekick?"

Yeah but look at this little flat rectangle in my pocket that takes photos, records and plays videos and even music!

He's a witch! Burn him!

 

[Nervous Rex]

Whooooosh. It went right over your head. Think about it, old timer.

Hint: Sniff, sniff.

But yes, the car itself was junk.

I remember the joke on the Tonight Show was that when a Delorean drove down the road, the white lines disappeared.

I love 80s films I love 80s things generally. I love the first two back to the futurer films in particular. If I had access to a star trek hollodeck I would visit the 80s being an adult, as I'm nearly 40. I like time travel films too. Remember the guy John Titor online who claimed to be a time traveller.
