🕰 The Mysterious Case of Sergey Panchenko: Time Traveler?

In 2006, Kiev police encountered a young man named Sergey Panchenko, dressed in anachronistic clothing and carrying an old camera. He claimed to be from 1958 and had an ID from the Soviet Union. Dr. Pablo Kudrakov, a psychiatrist, examined Sergey, who described seeing a bell-shaped UFO before finding himself in the future. Photos from his camera, developed by an expert, showed Sergey in 1950s Kiev, adding to the mystery. Despite the doctor's scientific hypothesis of time dilation due to a possible alien encounter, Sergey disappeared from a secure room, leaving behind only his camera and photos. Later, it was discovered that a Sergey Panchenko was reported missing in 1960, and his elderly girlfriend claimed he had disappeared and returned before vanishing again in the 1970s. She received a photo supposedly from 2050, suggesting he might have time-traveled. This story, however, is considered internet lore with no concrete evidence, making it a fascinating but unverified account of time travel.

🎭 Debunking the Sergey Panchenko Time Travel Tale

The story of Sergey Panchenko is traced back to a Ukrainian TV show called 'Aliens' that aired in 2012, which included a disclaimer about the speculative nature of its content. The show's episode 'Time Traveler' featured dramatizations of various alien encounters, including Sergey's tale. Despite the disclaimer, the story gained traction online. However, upon investigation, inconsistencies were found, such as incorrect dates and anachronistic seals on the ID card. The security footage and other evidence presented were also scrutinized and deemed recreations rather than authentic. The narrator's search for concrete evidence, such as police records or media reports, yielded nothing, leading to the conclusion that the story is a work of fiction, albeit a compelling one that has captured the public's imagination.

10:02

🔬 Theoretical Explorations of Time Travel

The script delves into the theoretical aspects of time travel, referencing a paper published in 'Classical and Quantum Gravity' in 2020. The paper suggests the possibility of closed time-like curves, where an object could travel in a circular direction through space-time and return to its starting point. It addresses the paradoxes associated with time travel, such as the grandfather paradox, using a billiard ball model to illustrate how events could recalibrate to avoid inconsistencies. The paper proposes that any changes made in the past would not significantly alter the future, implying a form of determinism where reality recalibrates itself. This theoretical exploration is presented as an interesting thought experiment, highlighting the ongoing scientific debate and curiosity surrounding time travel.

🎨 The Allure of Time Travel and the Finale of Sketch Madness

The script concludes with a reflection on the allure of time travel stories, suggesting that they allow us to imagine escaping the constraints of linear time. It cites a professor of Science Fiction studies who posits that such tales offer a new perspective on the human experience. The script then transitions to a lighter topic, announcing the final stages of a 'Sketch Madness' competition held on the channel, inviting viewers to vote for their favorite sketch. The results of the competition will be revealed in the following week's video, and the script ends with a prompt for viewers to like, share, and subscribe for more content.

Keywords

💡Time Travel

Time travel is a concept that involves moving between different points in time, either to the past or the future, in a manner analogous to moving through space. In the video, it is the central theme, with the story of Sergey Panchurenko who supposedly traveled from 1958 to 2006. The video discusses the possibility of time travel through the lens of Einstein's theory of relativity and the hypothetical implications it has on reality.

💡Sergey Panchurenko

Sergey Panchurenko is the purported time traveler in the video's narrative. He is described as a man who appeared in 2006 with anachronistic clothing and a camera, claiming to be from 1958. His story is used to explore the concept of time travel and its potential evidence, such as his old ID from the Soviet Union and photographs that seem to be from the past.

💡Anachronistic

Anachronistic refers to something that is not in its correct historical or chronological time, being either too early or too late for the context in which it appears. In the script, Sergey Panchurenko's clothing is described as anachronistic, suggesting it belonged to a different time period, specifically the 1950s, rather than 2006 when he was found.

💡Soviet Union

The Soviet Union, or the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), was a socialist state that existed from 1922 to 1991, covering a large part of Eurasia. In the video, Sergey's ID is from the Soviet Union, which had dissolved in 1991, indicating that he claimed to be from a time before its dissolution, adding to the mystery of his alleged time travel.

💡Dr. Pablo Kudrakov

Dr. Pablo Kudrakov is a character in the video who is introduced as the doctor caring for Sergey Panchurenko in a mental hospital. He plays a significant role in the narrative by investigating Sergey's story, examining his camera, and hypothesizing about the possibility of time dilation due to a potential encounter with a UFO.

💡Time Dilation

Time dilation is a difference in the elapsed time measured by two observers, due to the relative difference in their velocities or gravitational fields. In the script, Dr. Kudrakov hypothesizes that if Sergey encountered an alien spacecraft, it might have caused time dilation, allowing him to travel to the future while experiencing little to no passage of time himself.

💡UFO (Unidentified Flying Object)

A UFO, or Unidentified Flying Object, is any aerial phenomenon that cannot be immediately identified. In the video, Sergey claims to have seen a bell-shaped UFO before finding himself in 2006. The concept of UFOs is used to explore the idea of extraterrestrial technology potentially being involved in time travel.

💡Einstein's Theory of Relativity

Einstein's theory of relativity refers to two theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity. The script mentions this theory in the context of explaining time dilation and the possibility of time travel. It suggests that according to this theory, time and space are relative and can be affected by motion and gravity, which could theoretically allow for time travel.

💡Mystery

Mystery, in the context of the video, refers to the enigmatic circumstances surrounding Sergey Panchurenko's disappearance and the unresolved questions about his alleged time travel. The narrative builds on the mystery to engage the audience and explore various theories about time travel and its implications.

💡Urban Legend

An urban legend is a story or anecdote that is widely circulated as true, but whose authenticity is not proven. The script describes the story of Sergey Panchurenko as an urban legend, suggesting that it may be a piece of folklore or a fictional tale that has been widely shared and discussed, particularly online.

💡Determinism

Determinism is the philosophical concept that all events, including moral choices, are determined completely by previously existing causes. In the video, the idea is related to the concept of time travel and the paper mentioned that suggests that any changes made in the past would be corrected, implying a form of determinism where events recalibrate to avoid inconsistencies.

💡Paradox

A paradox is a statement or situation that seems self-contradictory or logically absurd, but may express a possible truth. The script refers to the 'grandfather paradox' in the context of time travel, illustrating the logical problems that could arise if a time traveler were to change the past in a way that prevents their own existence.

💡Brilliant.org

Brilliant.org is an online platform for learning and problem-solving, mentioned in the video as a resource for gaining a deeper understanding of complex subjects like classical mechanics and Einstein's theory of relativity. The video uses it as an example of a tool that can help viewers grasp the foundational concepts necessary to understand the theory behind time travel.

play00:00

in 2006 in the city of Kiev Ukraine

play00:02

police were called to deal with a

play00:04

confused man when they arrived they

play00:06

found a young man who was scared didn't

play00:08

know where he was and was dressed in

play00:10

strange anachronistic clothing carrying

play00:12

a camera little did they know that they

play00:14

were possibly standing face to face with

play00:17

an actual time traveler

play00:19

[Music]

play00:22

the man's name was Sergey panamerenko

play00:24

and when the police asked him for his ID

play00:26

he handed it to them and the first thing

play00:28

they noticed was that it was issued from

play00:30

a country that didn't exist anymore

play00:33

the Soviet Union Ukraine was of course

play00:35

part of the Soviet Union in the past but

play00:37

the Soviet Union had dissolved almost a

play00:39

couple of decades ago at that point so

play00:40

let's just say the police didn't see

play00:42

those IDs much anymore especially on

play00:44

young people and this guy looked like he

play00:45

was in his 20s and yet his ID stated

play00:47

that his birthday was in 1932.

play00:50

and he matched the picture in the ID so

play00:53

something didn't add up when they asked

play00:55

him what day he thought it was he

play00:57

answered April 23 1958 and that's when

play01:00

the police said okay we're going to take

play01:01

you to a little room and you can talk to

play01:03

the nice doctor

play01:06

so Sergey winds up in a mental hospital

play01:08

in the care of Dr Pablo kudrakov so the

play01:11

doctor played along with his whole idea

play01:13

and he asked him if he could figure out

play01:14

or if he could remember how he wound up

play01:16

in 2006 even though he thought it was

play01:17

1958 and as recorded by the doctor

play01:19

Sergey said quote it was daytime and I

play01:22

wanted to go for a walk in the city I

play01:24

took my camera but when I left my house

play01:26

I saw a strange object that had a bell

play01:28

shape and it was very strange and it was

play01:30

flying in a strange way it is difficult

play01:32

to explain what I was seeing it might be

play01:34

better to look at the photos from my

play01:35

camera

play01:36

Dr kudrakov was curious so he got a hold

play01:38

of the camera and the first thing he

play01:39

noticed was that it was an old rare

play01:41

yashima Flex the doctor was a bit of a

play01:43

photographer himself so he recognized

play01:45

the brand and knew right away that this

play01:46

was like an antique which is a problem

play01:48

because they use a type of film that

play01:50

hadn't been manufactured since the 1970s

play01:52

you can't just take it down to the CVS

play01:54

to get it developed so he called in a

play01:55

photography expert named Adam poisoner

play01:57

batam got the film out and he was able

play01:59

to see from the real info that was

play02:01

manufactured in 1956.

play02:03

but it was in perfect condition so he

play02:05

developed the role and um

play02:07

this is when everything just kept

play02:09

getting weirder what he found on the

play02:11

role were photos of Kiev but clearly

play02:13

from a long time ago all the cars all

play02:15

the clothes all the street signs all

play02:16

were from the 50s and there were photos

play02:18

of buildings that didn't exist anymore

play02:20

and right there in front of those

play02:21

buildings was Sergey with his girlfriend

play02:23

at the time out enjoying a beautiful day

play02:27

wearing the exact same clothes he was

play02:29

found in in the last photo on the Reel

play02:30

just as Sergey had suggested featured a

play02:33

bell-shaped UFO when the doctor asked

play02:35

him about the UFO photo Sergey said

play02:36

quote now are you convinced I'm telling

play02:39

the truth I so far do not understand

play02:40

what this object is and how something

play02:42

like that happened to me at the same

play02:44

moment when I took the picture and I

play02:45

went down to look at the camera and

play02:47

somehow I showed up in this year Dr

play02:48

kuchakov being scientifically minded

play02:50

hypothesized that if this was some kind

play02:53

of alien spacecraft

play02:54

it could perhaps have flown him across

play02:57

the universe at the speed of light and

play02:58

brought him back in a split second and

play03:00

due to Einstein's theory of relativity

play03:02

he would experience time dilation

play03:03

meaning that time would have barely

play03:05

passed for him but back on Earth 47

play03:07

years would have gone by the Flight of

play03:09

the Navigator theory if you will that

play03:12

night Sergey went back to his room

play03:13

closed the door

play03:15

and was never seen again the hospital

play03:17

security camera captured when he entered

play03:19

the room but it never filmed him leaving

play03:21

there was only one way out of this room

play03:23

it was always watched and the room

play03:25

windows had bars so there was no way for

play03:27

him to escape without being noticed

play03:30

yeah Sergey just pulled a Shawshank man

play03:33

I'm vanished like a fart in the wind

play03:34

only there was no Raquel Welch poster to

play03:37

explain what happened to him he was

play03:39

never found no means of Escape were ever

play03:41

found

play03:42

he just vanished leaving the police with

play03:45

his camera his photographs and a crazy

play03:48

mystery to solve a mystery that just

play03:50

keeps getting weirder because they

play03:52

investigated the case and they found out

play03:53

that there was actually a Sergey

play03:55

panamerenko that was declared missing in

play03:57

Kiev in 1960. they also were able to

play03:59

track down the woman in the photograph

play04:00

his girlfriend who was now over 70 years

play04:03

old at this point she told the police

play04:04

that Sergey had disappeared that day in

play04:06

1958 but returned just a few days later

play04:10

the exact amount of time that he had

play04:11

been in 2006 but then she claimed that

play04:13

he disappeared again in the 1970s and

play04:16

this time he was never seen again but

play04:18

years after he vanished she received a

play04:20

strange photo in the mail it was from

play04:22

Sergey and according to the note he

play04:23

wrote on there the photo was from 2050.

play04:25

it shows an older Mustachio Sergey with

play04:28

Kiev in the background only in this

play04:30

photo the skyline is full of skyscrapers

play04:32

he also said in the note that he would

play04:34

be back soon which for whatever reason

play04:36

didn't happen the story of Sergey

play04:38

panamarinko has gone down to internet

play04:40

lore is possibly the most

play04:41

well-documented case of time travel in

play04:43

history

play04:49

thank you

play04:50

you know

play04:51

now might be a good time to introduce

play04:53

you guys to Willow alarm 2.0

play04:56

foreign

play04:59

quick shout out to the video where I put

play05:01

on the woo-woo alarm for almost a full

play05:02

minute and people went ape comments uh

play05:05

yeah okay that's enough of that look

play05:07

it's a great story okay I totally get

play05:10

why it became such an urban legend the

play05:11

problem is everything that I could find

play05:13

on this all the images that you've seen

play05:15

throughout this video they all tie Back

play05:17

To One TV show it was a show called

play05:19

aliens that aired on a Ukrainian Channel

play05:21

called OnePlus One in 2012. there were

play05:23

10 episodes total the episode that tells

play05:25

this story is the third episode it's

play05:27

titled time traveler it's an entire

play05:29

series about different stories of alien

play05:31

abductions and stuff other titles

play05:32

include alien abductions levitation

play05:34

effect Phantoms and crop circles and the

play05:37

show actually featured a disclaimer at

play05:38

the beginning that translates to quote

play05:40

the Alien series aims to restore scenes

play05:43

of controversial topics in ethere or

play05:45

hypothesis proposed cannot be considered

play05:47

to be correct in further scientific

play05:48

research is required all scene

play05:50

Restorations are based on the statements

play05:52

of witnesses there's no conclusive

play05:54

evidence to prove the existence of

play05:56

aliens your opinion on this issue is up

play05:58

to you so yeah the show itself says any

play06:01

theory proposed cannot be considered to

play06:03

be correct

play06:04

which is more than you ever get from the

play06:06

History Channel and it's also careful to

play06:08

point out that these are scene

play06:09

restoration so all these images of

play06:11

Sergey that keep showing up on every

play06:13

website and every video that talks about

play06:14

the story those are all Recreations this

play06:17

is not real interview footage

play06:20

which kind of feels obvious to me but I

play06:23

guess I spend more time around cameras

play06:24

than most people and Minds there's a few

play06:26

glaring details that are wrong in this

play06:28

episode for example the security camera

play06:30

footage displays the time as Tuesday

play06:32

April 23 2006. but if you pull up a

play06:35

calendar app on your phone you'll see

play06:36

that April 23 2006 was actually a Sunday

play06:38

others have pointed out that the ID card

play06:41

that you see on the show has the Seal of

play06:42

the Communist Youth League stamped on it

play06:44

but it's not the actual seal from that

play06:46

time period like I'm sure the art

play06:48

director was good but you can never beat

play06:50

the internet and then there's that

play06:51

picture from 2050 it has buildings

play06:54

copied and pasted all over it and I'm

play06:56

pretty sure that's the Empire State

play06:57

Building so minor Photoshop but the

play07:00

point is those are Recreations again the

play07:02

show says it right up at the beginning

play07:03

fine but according to the story there

play07:06

was an ID there were photos there was a

play07:08

recorded interview

play07:10

so where are the real ones that they

play07:12

exist all I can say is that my writer

play07:14

Jason and I we searched all over the

play07:16

place and we couldn't find them anywhere

play07:17

nor could we find any actual police

play07:19

records no other media reports and I

play07:21

couldn't find anything on any of the key

play07:23

figures like Dr Pablo kuchakov or Venom

play07:25

poisoner granted some people don't have

play07:27

much of a web presence and there's

play07:28

definitely a language barrier here but

play07:30

yeah I couldn't find anything now I

play07:32

don't know anything about this show

play07:34

um if you're in Ukraine and you know

play07:35

something about it please feel free to

play07:37

educate me and everybody else in the

play07:38

comments but it comes across like one of

play07:40

those History Channel type shows where

play07:41

they take some urban legend and then

play07:43

dramatize it like I feel like this is

play07:45

just basically a good piece of

play07:46

Creepypasta that the producers ran

play07:48

across and decided to run with and they

play07:50

did a great job let's face it they did a

play07:52

great job it has taken on a life of its

play07:53

own the credits list of scriptwriter is

play07:55

Constantine cover again the director is

play07:57

Vladimir rybus and the producer is Alexi

play07:59

lebach and the executive producer is

play08:01

Oleg recozna who owned the station any

play08:03

of whom I would love to ask directly

play08:05

about this but I wasn't able to find a

play08:07

way to contact them so for me the

play08:09

overwhelming evidence here is that this

play08:11

is just a work of fiction and a great

play08:13

story it is a great story but like don't

play08:15

take it any more seriously than you did

play08:17

that mermaid show on Animal Planet which

play08:19

was actually a thing that happened

play08:21

I hate this timeline but I can't I get

play08:23

it I get it I totally get it time travel

play08:25

is a fascinating subject and a lot of

play08:27

thought's been put into how it would

play08:28

actually work for example a paper

play08:30

published in classical and quantum

play08:31

gravity in September 2020 suggested

play08:34

there's actually a way to travel

play08:35

backwards in time they looked at

play08:36

Einstein's theory relativity

play08:38

specifically as calculations that show

play08:39

that it should be possible for an object

play08:42

in the universe to travel through space

play08:43

and time in a circular Direction and end

play08:46

up back at the starting point Einstein

play08:48

called it a closed time-like curve but

play08:50

of course physicists when talking about

play08:52

time travel they deal with paradoxes

play08:54

like the grandfather Paradox you know

play08:56

that's the idea that a time traveler

play08:58

goes back in the past and kills a

play08:59

younger version of her grandfather this

play09:01

of course means that time travelers

play09:02

parents weren't born along with the time

play09:04

traveler herself and at the time

play09:05

traveler didn't get born then how would

play09:07

she have gone back to kill a grandfather

play09:09

that whole thing so the writers this

play09:10

paper use what they call the billiard

play09:12

ball model to tackle this Paradox they

play09:14

say imagine several billiard balls

play09:16

across a circular table a circular table

play09:18

so when you push one ball away from

play09:20

position X it goes around the table and

play09:22

hits the other balls in a particular

play09:24

pattern but the researchers calculated

play09:25

that even if the ball's pattern is

play09:27

messed with at some point during its

play09:28

Journey future interactions with the

play09:30

other balls can actually correct its

play09:31

path the ball will come back to position

play09:33

X at the same speed that it would have

play09:35

if it hadn't been interfered with

play09:37

basically the ball will fall into the

play09:39

same place so they use this model to

play09:41

explain how if you did travel back in

play09:43

time you could change events but not

play09:45

significantly enough to really change

play09:46

the future so like with the grandfather

play09:48

Paradox it would basically mean that

play09:50

something would always get in the way of

play09:52

you trying to kill him as researcher

play09:54

Jermaine terbar said quote no matter

play09:56

what you did the sailing events would

play09:57

just recalibrate around you try as you

play10:00

might to create a paradox the events

play10:01

will always adjust themselves to avoid

play10:03

any inconsistency now I think this paper

play10:05

is mostly just sort of an interesting

play10:07

thought experiment but this does sound a

play10:09

bit like determinism you know like the

play10:11

idea that the world will just

play10:13

recalibrate around any changes you make

play10:14

in the timeline kind of like a car

play10:16

navigation when you miss your exit the

play10:18

big question though is what causes this

play10:21

recalibration

play10:23

what holds this reality together is it a

play10:25

fundamental Quantum Force The Matrix

play10:28

the power of Zoe unfortunately it'll be

play10:31

a long time until we can test something

play10:32

like this and actually send an

play10:34

instrument or a person on a closed

play10:36

timeline curve

play10:37

until then we'll just have to imagine it

play10:40

which we've kind of been doing this

play10:41

whole time I mean one of the earliest

play10:44

ancient Sanskrit epic poems was called

play10:45

Mahabharata and it was about time travel

play10:48

I think maybe we're drawn to time travel

play10:50

stories because time is the most

play10:53

Insidious force in our lives

play10:56

Time Marches on it never stops we are

play10:59

ultimately at its mercy and the greatest

play11:01

fantasy we have is to escape its grip as

play11:04

professor of Science Fiction studies at

play11:05

Georgia Institute of Technology in

play11:07

Atlanta Lisa yazak told life science in

play11:09

2022 quote time travel Tales let us

play11:12

imagine that we can break free from the

play11:13

grip of linear time and somehow get a

play11:15

new perspective on The Human Experience

play11:17

either our own or as Humanity as a whole

play11:20

so maybe that's why this urban legend

play11:21

has struck such a chord online with

play11:23

everybody you know

play11:25

as disoriented and confused as he was in

play11:28

some small way

play11:30

we kind of all want to be sergeying okay

play11:32

so this whole Sergey story kind of

play11:34

revolves around the whole idea that you

play11:35

know a UFO picked him up and carried

play11:37

them around at the speed of light and

play11:39

then dropped them back on Earth 50 years

play11:40

or so later this is of course you know

play11:42

an example of Einstein's theory of

play11:44

relativity in action which you all

play11:45

probably get the general gist of your

play11:47

smart people watching this but

play11:50

why does that happen exactly now if you

play11:52

think I'm going to answer with some

play11:54

course on brilliant well you're right

play11:56

it's it's right there in the classical

play11:57

mechanics course and this in my opinion

play12:00

is why brilliant is so powerful

play12:02

um you know they take you all the way

play12:03

back to the basics of kinematics and

play12:05

Newton's laws and let you work all the

play12:07

way up to reference frames which

play12:08

Einstein used to explain relativity

play12:10

you're just sitting there solving

play12:11

puzzles having fun and next thing you

play12:13

know you get it you don't just know it

play12:15

you get it and it's that deeper

play12:18

understanding that provides a foundation

play12:19

for many other concepts of once seemed

play12:21

Out Of Reach which I've been saying for

play12:23

a while now but what's more important is

play12:25

that really it kind of changes your

play12:28

whole world you just kind of see

play12:30

everything differently you know there's

play12:31

this new layer of understanding to

play12:33

everything plus it kind of it

play12:34

strengthens the problem-solving muscle

play12:36

in your brain so you're not just

play12:37

learning facts you're learning how to

play12:39

think this not only keeps your brain

play12:41

sharper as you get older it gives you an

play12:43

edge in a world where you know

play12:44

everything just keeps getting more

play12:45

competitive you don't want AI to put you

play12:47

out the pasture well here's one way to

play12:49

fight against that so so go get Brian a

play13:43

um but uh let's let's see we're gonna

play13:45

find out right now who the last two are

play13:47

what the last two sketches are so here

play13:49

we go so the four that we had lined up

play13:51

last week was the penis designer sketch

play13:54

the big million uh subscriber clone

play13:56

sketch the Venus sketch and the uh

play14:00

golden ratio sketch and um we had 850

play14:03

people so it has been a little bit less

play14:05

each time that's fine

play14:08

um but there's still two people that

play14:09

have answered all of them correctly and

play14:11

if those two people get this next one

play14:13

right they're gonna win the grand prize

play14:14

by the way I don't know who they are and

play14:16

they don't know who they are it could be

play14:18

you it could be you

play14:22

was that dramatic all right let's do

play14:23

this

play14:24

all right here we go first match up the

play14:26

penis designer sketch and the big

play14:28

million subscriber clone sketch I really

play14:30

don't know which one's gonna win

play14:32

I've come to expect the unexpected so

play14:34

let's just do this the winner is

play14:37

the Clone sketch that was still pretty

play14:39

close I keep being surprised by how

play14:40

close they are uh not to surprise this

play14:43

on one though I still fully expect this

play14:46

one to take the whole thing but let's

play14:47

see uh so the next one

play14:50

Venus versus golden ratio this one I

play14:53

really don't know which one's gonna win

play14:55

let's find out

play14:58

the Venus one all right you guys like me

play15:01

in the uh makeup and the the nail polish

play15:04

don't you I think that may be my new

play15:06

thing so there we go we have the final

play15:08

two the big clone sketch and the Venus

play15:10

and Earth Brothers sketch so guys we got

play15:14

one more vote that's all it takes so

play15:16

just go to that Joe scott.com sketch

play15:19

madness vote for the champion it says

play15:21
