Time travel has always been a frequent topic in science fiction, and there are also some mysterious people on the Internet who claim to be from the future. They will also make some so-called predictions about the future, and today we will look at the predictions of these future people. And are the prophecies of these future people reliable?
People claiming to be from the future predict three big things that will happen in 2022
1. Predict supervolcano eruptions
In the TikTok video, @thatonetimetraveler predicted a major eruption at a supervolcano in the United States on July 4, 2022. The outbreak was powerful enough to trigger mass extinction. The only active supervolcano in the United States is Yellowstone.
The history of the Great Eruption of Yellowstone Volcanoes. During the Cenozoic Era (roughly the last 66 million years of Earth's history), extensive orogeny, volcanic activity, faults, and glaciation shaped the Yellowstone region. About 16.5 million years ago, a period of intense volcanic activity began near the borders of present-day Nevada, Oregon, and Idaho. Subsequent eruptions can be traced back to southern Idaho in the direction of Yellowstone. This 500-mile trail, made up of more than 100 calderas, was formed as the North American plate moved southwest on shallow magma.
The Yellowstone Eruption, 2.1 million years ago, was one of the largest known eruptions. The eruption covered 5,790 square miles of volcanic ash as far as Missouri. The total amount of volcanic material ejected is estimated to be 6,000 times the volume of material ejected during the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington. About 1.3 million years ago, a second major eruption occurred on the western edge of the first crater, but this one was smaller. The third and most recent large-scale volcanic eruption 631,000 years ago formed the Yellowstone Crater, now 30×45 miles wide. Since then, there have been 80 smaller eruptions. About 174,000 years ago, one of them created the west thumb of what is now Yellowstone Lake.

Recent Yellowstone volcanic activity. By 1985, surveys had documented an unprecedented uplift of more than one meter (3 feet) across the entire crater. The largest vertical motion recorded is at the White Lake GPS station within the eastern rim of the Caldera, where the total uplift from 2004 to 2010 was about 27 centimeters (10.6 inches). The rate of ascent slowed in 2008, while the crater began to sink again in the first half of 2010.
Future volcanic activity. Will Yellowstone erupt again in the next few thousand to millions of years? According to the NPS article in the United States, the most likely activity for a Yellowstone eruption is lava flows, such as those that occurred after the last major eruption. Lava flows can seep out slowly over months or even years, giving scientists plenty of time to assess the situation and protect people. And there's no scientific evidence that this lava flow will happen anytime soon. To monitor volcanic and seismic activity in the Yellowstone area, the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO) was established in 2001. YVO scientists monitor the Yellowstone volcano through a real-time and near-real-time monitoring network consisting of 26 seismic stations, 16 GPS receivers and 11 flow measurement stations.
In short, every move of Yellowstone Volcano is under the observation of scientists, and if it really has any activity, scientists will know in advance. So this future man's prediction of the July eruption of Yellowstone volcano is simply unreliable.
2. Fight a skinny alien?
A self-proclaimed "time traveler" from 2491 predicted that giant aliens with "distorted appearances" would arrive on Earth in 2022. TikTok user @futuretimetraveller said that your so-called aliens will first appear on Earth in 2022, and the exact date they will be first discovered is May 24, 2022.
They came for peace, but the United States attacked them and led to the beginning of the war. They are about 7 feet 4 inches long and have long skulls that are long, dark gray and twisted in appearance. They are harmless, but can become very dangerous when provoked.
This so-called future man prophecy is even more unreliable, first of all, there is no evidence to prove the existence of aliens. The key thing is that this future person has released many amazing prediction videos, but they have not come true at all. Therefore, the prediction of this future person is just an eye-catching fantasy.
3. Surprising scientific discoveries
Happily, in 2022 people will discover a mysterious new sea creature? According to TikToker @authentictimetraveler claims to be from 2582, claiming: "After October 14, 2022, marine biologists will discover a species. This new species will be three times the size of the blue whale, and eventually it will be named Cirein-croin.
The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is undoubtedly the largest creature in the ocean and is actually the largest animal that ever lived on plant earth, and the adult blue whale is twice the size of the largest terrestrial dinosaur ever lived. They can reach a maximum length of 33 meters (108 feet) and weigh up to 200 tons (400,000 pounds), although most blue whales are smaller than this, averaging about 20 to 25 meters in length when fully grown.

So could there be an animal larger than a blue whale, and the answer is that it won't be there at this time. First of all, we must know that the blue whale is the largest known animal on the earth, and it is larger than the dinosaurs of the Jurassic era. Second, the larger the animal, the easier it is to be spotted, although the ocean is very large and deep. But if there is a creature larger than the blue whale, the probability of its discovery is still very large.
With the advent of modern sonar and unmanned detection, the larger the more likely it is to be discovered. And the energy needed to sustain this animal or their population means that their need for food is also enormous, so that they may be noticed in another way. Even if humans have not detected its existence, such a large species, its bones can easily be washed off the coast after death. But no larger species have been found now than blue whales.
In short, these so-called future people, their predictions are simply unreliable. In fact, I believe that everyone knows that these people are just to win eyeballs, and everyone watches their videos just for entertainment. That's what we're talking about today, I'm the Fire Emperor, we'll see you next time.
