Was Jules Verne a time traveler?

Jules Verne's novels have been noted for being startlingly accurate anticipations of modern times. Paris in the 20th Century is an often cited example of this as it arguably describes air conditioning, automobiles, the Internet, television, and other modern conveniences very similar to their real world counterparts.

Another example is From the Earth to the Moon, which is uncannily similar to the real Apollo Program, as three astronauts are launched from the Florida peninsula and recovered through a splash landing. In the book, the spacecraft is launched from "Tampa Town"; Tampa, Florida is approximately 130 miles from NASA's actual launching site at Cape Canaveral.[7]

In other works, Verne predicted the inventions of helicopters, submarines, projectors, jukeboxes, and other later devices.

He also predicted the existence of underwater hydrothermal vents that were not discovered until years after he wrote about them.

What do you think?

He was definitely on to something!

"Was Jules Verne a time traveler?"

No he was French, that and that alone accounts for his fanciful notions of moon men and underwater submersibles and his faintly garlic smelling body odour.

He did THC!

And relaxed and saw images in his 3rd eye.

bump

you gotta be kidding ! read 20,000 leagues under the sea
then ask wtf no electric light , sonar ?? and so on ffs
radio ,F Me

P.S only an electric ARC light -outside the sub

He wasn't even in the navy or an intel officer, just someone who'd written sci-fi since he was a kid

but he got much right.. maybe he had contact with a traveller??

Old thread but much bump!

THC just makes you a fat do nothing...he probably did DMT.

The guy invented science fiction.
