  • What people don't realise is that people have had ideas long before they became commercial - the first fax machines were invented in the 1840s and transmitting data using the telegraph system

  • Motorola had developed plans for analog cellular phones in 1964, but they were not economically feasible until the 1980's when Motorola dominated the hand held and car phone markets. Digital wireless technology followed with the US Government issuing a mandate to build a National Cellular Network that was to be built in strict accordance with Federal, State, County, City, Municipality laws & statutes. Those laws were obliterated including proper legal notice of the proposed construction.

  • Time travel, to the past, is impossible. I can explain, but there's not enough room here. However, why is it such a strange idea that the guy had an idea that the telephone would become portable some day? There were phones in cars since the 1940's. Telegraphs went wireless in 1887. The guy made a two-way radio, like a walkie-talkie. Not a cell phone, but may have called it a vest phone.

  • sure took technology a long time to catch up with his idea. LOL. by this logic, we wont have the flying cars, hover boards, etc. ala back to the future until approx. 2085-2089. :(

  • so where's his invention?

  • Past me invented the cell phone!

  • Believe it or not, they put him in Wikipedia...with that same photo and news article. He could have been a time traveler..who knows.

  • He is repeating what Tesla was saying at that time.

  • We have been SLOWED DOWN for decades -- current "tech" is merely throttled concepts from years ago, allowed to exist as business models. Research "secret patents" and be amazed...

  • @noponat666 wow there basicly inventing stuff and saying u cant n

    know about the good shit for securty reason

  • Holy shit 1:54 good full size square piano is fuckin $10,$15

  • Dude got ripped off.

  • reminds of la noire u also actually sound like cole phelps lol

  • wonder if he thought of downloading apps for his 'vest phone'

  • He probably had better reception on 1906.

  • all i will say check ancient aliens out there r hyroglyphs in a pharoahs tomb in egypt of choppers and ufo's how much more evidence do people need there r a lot of idiots out there

  • Comment removed

  • Well Jules Verne told us about super highways, submarines etc. Wells told us about air warfare and both told us about videophones and useing radiation to treat sickness, Cleve Cartmill was investigated by the FBI in 1944 because his story "Deadline" talked about a chain reaction in the creation of a bomb, and Robert Heinlein's 1940 "Solution Unsatisfactory" was about the use of unclear waste for "dirty bombs" , but I doubt none of them traveled through time.

  • HEY, STUID, BACK IN THE DAY, NEWS-PRINT-PAPER WAS """NOT""" ACID-FREE - THUS ALL OLD PAPERS TURNYELLOW - WHY ISN'T YOUR JIM-BOP-A-BOO PAPER YELLOW.

    WHAT A STOOL SIT!

  • @jehovahuponyou Well, that black line running through the print, and the fact that it's on white, 8.5x11 inch paper suggests that it's probably a photocopy.

  • @comorbid EVEN THEN, IT SURE PHOTO-COPIED VERY, VERY WELL, MAYBE HE TRAVELED BACK IN TIME WITH A XEROX MACHINE AND COPIED ONE OF THE PAPERS THE DAY IT WAS WRITTEN - YEAH, THAT'S THE TICKET.

  • He probably did make one and was quietly shut up i don't think the government at the time wanted people to have easy access to any communications, just like Nicola Tesla.

  • Why is he so underrated and overlooked in History Books? He came up with a brilliant Idea! It's sad that there are people that worked so hard and have made many great inventions, but recieve no rewards or recognition. :(

  • 5000 Years ago in a Tomb They had Model airplanes with windows on it and it was said on the tablets people would fly place to place one day.

    It's called Predictions.

  • a educated guess of the future, we can all make a educated guess about the technology in a 100 years time and most of us will be right

  • thx 4 sharing this

  • does this mean that im the inventer of the flying car and teleporter

  • during those times, most of those inventions were suppressed by greedy oil corporations, just like today, because they were afraid that inventors would find how to produce free energy and oil industry would go bankrupt because of it. Corruption and greed always hinder progress.

  • @sinand99 That is the reason the inventor of the Diesel Engine went "missing".

  • Hey... a phone you can carry around in your pocket that works via Radio waves.

    Hmmm...

    Who could have possibly thought up something like that back then???

  • Thumps up if you think Nikola Tesla definitely chatted up his ideas with this guy!

  • Nikola Tesla already spoke about that,and discovered many things.This is just explanation of Tesla theories.Tesla discovered wireless signal,microwave,radio signal and radio.Lack of education in USA is the real problem

  • NY World Fair. I think I saw this before. they called a lot of things because things were being thought of back then. They did have old version of radio phones. but the channels and bandwiths couldn't keep others from using the same channels so it would have been like a party line. I'm pretty sure they had car phones in the 1920s or 30s. "Line of site" satellites weren't thought of yet and even today iridium Sat phones aren't used because cell towers are far cheaper to maintain.

  • Why does he have to be a time-traveler? He seems like a visionary to me.

  • I would love to find out what he found that made the technology so easy. That would be interesting to find out how close he really was.

    -Joe

  • leonardo da vinci invented the helicoptor 6oo yrs ago - doesnt mean time travel - just clever people in the past

  • foreskin

  • It's not time travel...but a suppression of technology. Batteries not needed. Read about Nikola Tesla and free energy.

  • @jazzjodi Stole the words from my mouth good sir.

  • what does "invented" even means? why did he, with his connections, not build it?

    likely because it was impossible

  • so cool

  • That's not time travel r tard where do you think the idea for a mobile phone came from?

  • @AcidNiNjA1 If u had a few more cells in ur head u would realize he doesn't actually think there was time travel involved. 

  • Why you assume this has anything to do with time travel is beyond me.

  • if there was Radio transmission then coming up with the idea of WIRELESS telephone is not that.... u know

  • Interesting.....but not proof of time travel.

  • Radiotelephony has been around since Marconi. He just envisioned a naturally predisposed personal application for "wireless".

  • Nada de impressionante. Era um Walkie-talkie am simples, um cb radio

  • LOL!!! Shot on You phone :D AWESOME!!!

    What is the Megapixel of the camera on your cell phone?

    Thanks for sharing this, that is awesome. Wonder if he thought of a camera on a phone back then :D

  • i find this interesting.

  • Radio I bet like cb if this it true.

  • I tought that Finns invented the first wireless telephone During World War II

  • maybe the paper was a hoax but i DO OWN TESLAS journal, which you can buy....i forget the name of it, but it was something like: accelerating human energy ...or something like that... tesla in his own words stated that same exact claim in he same year. its in his book, and for a tiny fee you can see it for yourself. AND if he knew EDISON, and even came close to WIRELESS anything, ill bet ur bottom he didnt get it from thomas edison, goon of direct current. HELLO MCFLY

  • nice find! it is amazing how much of a gap there is between radio in the early turn of the century and the cellphones of the late 70s, early 80s, which were simply analog radio technology transmitting back and forth, only needing more local towers to work - same tech though.

  • I found a similar note of that year (1906)! look at...

  • chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lcc­n/sn99063957/1906-05-17/ed-1/s­eq-2/

  • That's funny as this page is NOT showing up in the New-York tribune., April 29, 1906 see link chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lcc­n/sn83030214/1906-04-29/ed-1/1­/

  • @hofnerman1 You rule man ;)

  • @Mfilipcewicz Thanks I try lol. It pays to do the research. :*)

  • Where can I find more info to verify this article you mention?

  • i know how magnets work

  • So what?

  • Didn't you know that the first cell phone tower was erected in 1887??

  • He got his recognition now good stuff man

  • But he didn't invent anything. He just had an idea that someone else would actually create. You might as well give H.G. Wells and Gene Roddenberry credit for things that they envisioned in their science fiction stories.

  • Whats that with the title : UNEXPLAINED DISAPPEARANCE? He was quite famous in certain circles, and died just before WW2 in Seattle.

  • There were the very few who had magnificent idea's at that time and tangible inventions that were never given the time of day or financial backing. You just need to look at Nikola Tesla with hundreds of inventions and many will never be made public for the sake of national security and no money to be made ie: free electricity

  • so this guy is a time traveller and all u talk about is the phone ur dumb man

  • Charles E. Alden (fl. 1906) was an obscure inventor mentioned in a 1906 edition of the New York World who was claimed to have created the idea of a vest pocket telephone, a device that was the precursor of the cell phone. He envisioned the idea in 1906, sixty-seven years before the first hand-held mobile phone was demonstrated by Dr Martin Cooper of Motorola in 1973. Wiki

  • wow, please look up the reporter,

  • i remember the size of the batteries on the 80s cell phones, his phone might fit in the pocket but he would have needed a lorry for the battery lol

  • @djvision20022000 The towers were much further away then, and the old AMPS signals needed 3 watts continuous power to be worth anything. These digital phones today have a tower a few hundred feet away, and transmit small packet data bursts instead of a continuous analog signal (why digital phones sound gritty and garbled half the time) They used 90% less power than the old brick phones!

  • Many people loose idea's to those who get the patents first so I wouldn't be surprised

  • theres nothing about him on the internet. this person could be made up as well as that "old" newspaper.

  • not a single thing about him anywhere wtf not even wikipedia has shit on this dude !?!?!

  • @andrewcollmario he is on wiki!

  • Yeah...screw making the world a better place, I'm going back in time to invent the cell phone....?

  • i dont think time travel is possable, i mean if it is (or will be) then it boggles the mind, i mean if you can go back in time and change it somehow do things now change in the present immediatly ? if so then the memories or that thing what ! is now gone !! weird...

  • @crazyknight2008 i may be awarded as a dumb fuck. but yes i believe that time travel is possible.

    well as you have said. if i go back in time and kill my parents. how will i be born if i killed my parents... its easy. ill be passed into another parallel universe where you exists but your parents dont... hehe just Sharing dude. sorry...

  • @deathc0rR3 easy? how the heck is that easy? you've done experiments on this? nobody is even sure parallel universes exists. i think you watch too much sci-fi. move away from star trek or whatever and watch science shows i guess eventhough i don't completely trust science nowadays.

  • @forinner well its better to trust those things rather than magic and so hat you call the man in the heaven.

    if you dont trust science. do use computers and dont get into techy things and stuff... if you dont like science. go praise a statue or something

  • @deathc0rR3 There is absolutely no wisdom in what ur saying. Science is a good thing but scientists are paid to lie, this is a documented fact. Technology is a good thing as well but it's leading us to be more impersonal and causing us to rely on it too much. It's like a drug for society. Once we've become to addicted to it then what happens when it's taken away?

  • @uppercutter21 if its taken away. we will still live in a good nation . we arent caveman you know...

    well for me. nothing is impossible...

    well... that what my teacher in music class always tell us...

    so all the things ive said i believe in it...

  • @deathc0rR3 It's like the Joker said, 'People are only as good as their world allows them to be. When the chips are down, these "civilized people", they'll eat each other'. 

  • @uppercutter21 im sorry. i dont believe in that at all...

  • @deathc0rR3 Don't apologize, you're free to believe whatever you want to believe. Do you not think that we'll squabble over what we desire to be ours and damn anything that gets in our way? It seems we do this now so why would things be any different without technology to make things readily available like clean food and water, clothing, and shelter? Without technology these things would all be scarce or gone. We're only so peaceful because there isn't much basic stuff to fight over.

  • @deathc0rR3 Please don't be so diluted. Real life is nothing like what any of your teachers tell you. Tesla and his technology has been suppressed from the populace as a whole. It's the job of government and all its entities to withhold truth from free thinkers.

  • @grinderBent I think the word you're looking for is deluded.

  • What are your thoughts about time travel?...Do u think we can only go forward?...or do u think we can also go in the past?...I have a hard time dealing with going in the past..only because there are a few people who have died and there is no way that i can see going in the past and being with them again..if we can..then how???

  • imagine if they invented that in 1906, we'd be in rocket cars n shit nowadays, just like on the Jetsons. Robot maids! Yay

  • The date is April 29, 1906--not 1926...

  • LIES - look it up no article exist of Alden in that edition of New York World 1926

  • A secret soldier

  • the illuminati aka time pirates

  • Abstergo

    

  • @dylan32c Friggin' Templar

  • @dylan32c Beware of the Animus

  • @dylan32c what does that mean?

  • Kearny, FYI "Cottage City" is Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts on Martha's Vineyard Island, It refers to the "Gingerbread Houses" there that were originally tent sites for Methodist Summer Revival Meetings post-Civil War. Maybe you can find out more there, or via "Dukes County" Historical Society. I was born on Martha's Vineyard and grew up there, We all knew Oak Bluffs (where Pres Obama recently vacationed) used to be called "Cottage City." Also, US Grant owned one of the homes there, by the Gazebo.

  • Thank you.

    That was interesting and informative.

    Opens up a whole new line of research.

  • Pity he didnt invent anti shake in a pocket cellphone for you.

  • What's a cell phone ? I'm a time travlers from the past and don't understand what everyone is talking about.

  • @guitarbug234 And that's why you're using a computer????

  • @guitarbug234 for a time traveler you sure can't spell

  • he also invented the Dikecycle a womans Bike

  • This man was genius if this is true.

  • His name is Charles E. Alden not Charles Alden lol .... Anyway U guys heard abt Google? Then Google it lol so Charlie Chaplin time traveller solved lol

  • Charlie Alden is on facebook wtf!!!

  • Can you talk any slower?

  • Ok This Is A Hoax Because Charles Alden Shoot Himself On June 20, 1887

    He Was The Inventor of Milk Condensing Plus Fruit Evaporating.. The New York Times Printed This On June 21, 1887.. So How Do You Explain Your Story And The Dates Are Off. For The Time Listed There Is No Charles E. Alden Printed In The New York Times With The Dates You Use..

  • @maximus2437 April 29 1906 edition of the New York World (not Times)

  • do you know about the "shumann resonance" ! you know something than Tesla projected to use for free energie on planet thank's to JP Morgan an "strange" accident hapen to the labo tesla ! well see by yourself maybe there is a lot of thig hided ? no ?

    ancient alien some stuff search the true ! thank's

  • there are millions of inventors that get unrecognized even today, so i don't think this is really that uncommon, not saying you did a bad job uploader, you did a very good job actually.

  • there are millions of inventors that get unrecognized even today, so i don't think this is really that uncommon, not saying you did a bad job uploader, you did a very good job actually.

  • i have NO trouble getting along without a cell phone!! I've never had one and don't want one and I'll do just fine!!

  • interesting

  • Nicely done. =)

  • more videos?

  • Very cool. Thanks for sharing that.

  • look for tesla and free energie... search for tesla tower no batterie needed with his invention. why they are keeping this hided ?

  • @GeekofLegends Finally somebody else ask the same thing. Althought i think we can just say Petroleum owners.

  • @GeekofLegends How is it hidden if you know about that?

  • Check for Tesla experiments...

  • That’s probably because he never invented a working model, nimh batteries weren’t available then so I can't see what he was going to use as a power source.

  • @sequence130 They had small lead acid batteries going back in the 1800's so that is what would have been used as a power source. Put a series in a belt or pouch and there is your power pack for the phone.

  • wouldnt this mr alden be talking about the telegraph wireless ?

  • Their was a man in th 1950s in america who had supposdly made a engine that could run on water 100 miles to the gallon.He was intimidated by ford motor company and told he had to sell it.

  • pauze at 1:30, the most disturbing is how low those piano prizes are

  • He has got to have a patent somewhere unless he sold it?

    Q and A

  • I dislike it to make it look like a burning blunt

  • @Andromelian might as well just like it because it doesnt.

  • @ChrisAlexanderVEGAS Ummm, thanks but nope. xD

  • @Andromelian haha

  • haha lol the goverment is hiding stuff from us :P

  • a hundred years ago wireless referred to wireless telegraph which used radio waves, from the wireless telegraph came what we now know as AM radio. this early inventor would surely have been trying to use radio waves for one-to-one voice communication, in other words what we would call walkie-talkie or CB radio ... completely different than wireless cell phone technology

  • Good video man...try not bumpin lines of coke before you film small things in zoom haha! Just messin with you...good info, really interesting

  • Interesting stuff. This guy isn't even listed on wikipedia ???

  • Comment removed

  • thanks, very interesting...

  • Interesting, never the less.

  • FINALLY, someone that knows how to research properly AND prepare dialogue before recording uploading! Thank you and well done “InsideKearnyCastle”.

  • How did he die ? Probably many interests to keep him silence.

  • @PalmBeachSOS Alive in East Side of Buffalo, N.Y.

  • There is also another article about Alden in the NO Times Picayune and his later efforts to invent an antenna/umbrella--for his "vest pocket telephone." There is a sketch of it in the paper.

  • wut

  • the illuminati

  • This thing was 4G!

  • My vest pocket phone comes with unlimited web for viewing porn and youtube videos.

  • wow!

  • It seems he invented the "Gentleman's Jet Pack", the Rubick's Cube, and online dating as well, all within the time frame of only 1 or 2 years.

  • Did you mean "The Evening World?" rather than the New York World?

  • look if time traveling existed then dont you think that one person would come back and tell us about it?????so technically time traveling will never be invented if it hasnt been invented yet

  • @crisagnew99 someone did. look up John Titor.

  • @zuluknob thx

    

  • @crisagnew99 because thats not how time travel works, whatever happens happens, you cant go back and change something that never happened. if you try, you will fail because that means that you always tried to go back and tell people but you never succeeded. its real confusing but you need to understand physics to really get time travel

  • @Platerpus7 I know exactly what you mean

  • @Platerpus7 that one of the things i never pay attention to physics in high school but now in college i have to now

  • @crisagnew99 i know lol me too, it wasn't till after high school that i started to like physics.

  • great video, this is what youtube is all about.

  • 30 people are with Verizon Wireless :p

  • This is very interesting, I know you didn't have to upload this information you came upon but thanks for doing so this is some cool info!

  • Great video. I am sure his version of the wireless phone didn't come with cancer as the side effects.

  • If time travel exist, I think the key is light. Light was the framework for creation.

  • very interesting..... nice video

  • I bet it really had good clear reception...Can you hear me now?

  • that could explain the charlie chaplin lady!!!

  • More research needs to be done on Charles E. Alden. When did he die?

    One researcher emailed me saying, "Alden just disappears from all records..."

    Whatever happened to him? Please forward any information.
