How would they could use phones if they travel back in time?
There is no way they can make calls or anything, when there is no phone-towers.

The hit & run story was intriguing.
Aubeck discovered that the tale had begun life as a science-fiction story penned by Jack Finney and published in a 1951 anthology. Two years later a writer named Ralph Holland reprinted the story in a booklet, but he did so without permission and removed all indication that the story was fiction. Holland was a member of a group called Borderland that was committed to promoting belief in the existence of a ‘fourth dimension.' The Fentz story, when presented as fact, ably served this agenda. Through Holland’s booklet, the tale of the accidental time traveler made its way to Europe, where it soon took root and circulated for decades within the European paranormal research community.

Maybe they are just reflections from another universe, if our universes bend close enough to merge. Normally they are flowing linear path next to each other, but sometimes they overlap. Just my theory.

Guys, you are all forgetting that Time is a human concept.

The idea of time travel in science fiction is a good one, but in reality you'd not only have to travel in time but also in space.
You'd have to figure out exactly where the Earth was in Space at any given moment in time, and exactly where your part of the Earth was on an object spinning at 1,000 miles per hour and travelling at 67,000 miles per hour at the same time.
If you simply went back in time to the spot you are currently at, the Earth won't be there anymore, even going back 1 second.

When you move through time you move to where the earth will be, then. Your time machine doesn't have to find where the earth will be, it just picks a 'when' and the machine moves to where you'd be 'then'.

Started to watch it but had to turn it off, the font they are using to describe the events is barely legible against the background images. Not your fault of course.
