In these testing times, a lot of people are looking for a bit of guidance. Which is why we're thankful that 'time traveller' Adam Archon has come all the way back from 2045 to give us a bit of insight into what we have in store - all while hooked up to a totally legit lie detector. Yes, this sounds plausible. The fact he's here at all means we can be grateful that - at the very least - the world won't end within the next 26 years, so hooray! We're off to a good start. He revealed what we can expect to Apex TV, including who will be President of the United States in the year 2045. According to Adam, the future leader is described as the 'greatest president' the country has ever seen. Sounds familiar...Claiming to be born in December 2019, the video sees Adam being asked the question: 'Do you promise you are a time traveller?'Some The WordArt-esque text then pops up confirming he is in fact a time traveller. Who are we to argue? That's me convinced.
The Apex TV folks behind the camera then go on to ask the time traveller a series of questions around big issues. When asked about over population, and if it's a big issue in 2045, Adam replies yes, but that is because many big cities are now underwater due to rising sea levels. As an example, he said: "Los Angeles is underwater in the future but relocated and there is now a new Los Angeles."Looks like Busted might not have been too far off the mark with their 'not much has changed but they live underwater' predictions for the year 3000, guys.
The interviewer asks if Adam has any evidence, to which he obviously says yes. The lie detector doesn't show anything at this stage. Presumably, all working correctly, then.Adam's face is blurred out the whole way through the video, presumably protecting his identity for his own safety - after all, we don't want The Man crashing our science-defying time travel party, right? Don't let the bastards get you down, Adam! The big reveal though comes when he confirms that Martin Luther King Jr's granddaughter Yolanda Renee King - who will be 36 in 2045 - will be President of the US.
This is one bit that I can truly get behind. Last year, Yolanda, aged just nine at the time, addressed a crowd of thousands of protesters in Washington DC demanding gun control. Echoing King's famous speech, she said: "My grandfather had a dream that his four little children will not be judged by the colour of their skin, but the content of their character."I have a dream that enough is enough. And that this should be a gun-free world, period."Wise words - so let's hope that there's some truth in Adam's time travel knowledge.
