In 1924, Paul Amadeus Dienach had been teaching the German language in Greece. Dying of tuberculosis, he wanted to return home to Switzerland. Before he left, he gave hundreds of pages of handwritten notes to his favorite language student Georgios Papachatzis. Dienach thought translating his notes would help Papachatzis in his study of the German language. They said goodbye and never saw each other again. Papahatzis began translating the pages.
There were whole passages about a coming nuclear war, colonizing Mars, and a global government. Sections about flying vehicles, holographic technology, and contact with alien life. Papchatzis thought it was a science fiction novel. But as more and more of the text was revealed, Papahatzis was shocked at what he discovered. This wasn’t a novel at all. This was actually Dienach’s personal diary. Dienach wrote about how he went into a coma and woke up 2000 years in the future. It seems that Paul Amadeus Dienach had experienced some kind of time slip that caused him to fall asleep in the year 1921, and wake up in the year 3906. He spent a whole year in the future. And he wrote down everything he saw.

0:38poppahotsis thought it was a science
0:40fiction novel but as more and more the
0:42text was revealed papahatsus was shocked
0:45at what he discovered this wasn’t a
0:47novel at all this was actually dienoch’s
0:49personal diary dinock wrote about how he
0:52went into a coma and woke up two
0:54thousand years in the future
0:56it seems that paul amadeus dinock had
0:59experienced some kind of time slip that
1:01caused him to fall asleep in the year
1:021921 and wake up in the year 3906
1:06he spent a whole year in the future and
1:08he wrote down everything he saw
1:10this is his story
1:11[Music]
1:16it’s may 1921. paul dinock is teaching
1:19his college language class when he
1:21starts to feel dizzy he has a history of
1:22illness and eventually ends up
1:24hospitalized he develops a terrible
1:26fever and for the next few hours he’s in
1:28and out of consciousness he perceives
1:30different men and women gathering around
1:32him but he’s too weak to communicate
1:34when he finally wakes up his hospital
1:36room is different people are dressed in
1:39unfamiliar clothing and they’re speaking
1:41a strange language being a language
1:43teacher he recognizes a few words from
1:45english and swedish adenoc tries to
1:48communicate but nobody can understand
1:50him one of the doctors recognizes his
1:52language the doctor tries his best to
1:54communicate in broken german he tells
1:56dnoc his name is actually andreas
1:59northam a famous physics professor who
2:01had an accident now dinock says he has
2:03no idea who andreas northam is but he’s
2:06shown a mirror and he sees a stranger’s
2:08face looking back at him now dinock
2:10becomes visibly upset and starts sobbing
2:13he thinks he’s dead or worse gone crazy
2:16he cries that he’s just a simple
2:18language teacher from switzerland and
2:19has no idea what’s happening to him
2:21the doctors seem to react to the word
2:23switzerland and someone asks him what
2:26year it is dinox says it’s 1922.
2:29a hush falls over the room after a few
2:31seconds the older physician steps
2:33forward and tells deenock but the ear is
2:35actually 3906 now dinock doesn’t believe
2:38it the blinds on his windows are opened
2:40and he sees buildings reaching through
2:42the clouds vehicles that seem to defy
2:44gravity buzz quickly past his window
2:47suddenly overwhelmed he blacks out
2:52dinock is watched carefully for three
2:53days but he eventually recovers enough
2:55to walk and he describes walls made of
2:58crystal that give you a panoramic view
3:00of the landscape objects are made of
3:02pastel colored glowing metal that’s warm
3:04to the touch and he’s led through a
3:06corridor to a large room here he meets
3:08two older men in white robes and at
3:10first dinock thinks they’re actually
3:12priests or kings but they’re actually
3:14called electors with an eye these are
3:17like elder wise men now up until this
3:19time doc’s doctors didn’t believe he was
3:21from the past they thought he was
3:22suffering from some kind of brain trauma
3:25but after questioning him for a while
3:26the electors do believe him they have
3:29knowledge of a rare psychic phenomenon
3:31that they called a consciousness shift
3:33where someone’s mind or soul could be
3:34transported into somebody else’s body
3:37and they think that’s what happened to
3:38dinock when andreas northam whose body
3:41was being occupied by dinoc was injured
3:43in an accident he was clinically dead
3:45for 15 minutes doctors dropped the
3:47temperature of his brain and they were
3:49able to restart his heart it was at that
3:51point the electors believed that this
3:53personality shift occurred and the mind
3:55of paul dinock was transferred into the
3:57body of andreas northam two thousand
4:00years in the future how does your
4:02consciousness get beamed into the future
4:04well enoch wonders about this too and he
4:06asked the electors about it and they say
4:08that time isn’t linear that everyone’s
4:10consciousness exists all the time
4:12everywhere you know even though this is
4:14a rare event it is something that’s
4:16known to happen it’s at this point that
4:18a man named stefan is summoned now
4:20stefan had been a close friend of
4:21andreas northam and the electors decide
4:23that only stefan and his doctors would
4:26know his true identity to everyone else
4:29paul dinock would be andreas northam and
4:31enoch would assume his life now the
4:33electors believe that if stefan could
4:35help andreas northam regain his memories
4:38that the personality shift could be
4:39reversed and dinock would be sent back
4:42to his own time so
4:43stefan agrees to visit dinoc every day
4:45to teach him about modern society but
4:48dinock is mostly interested about what
4:50happened in the past
4:53even though the doctors in
4:5560 understood the psychic personality
4:57shift there was one thing that puzzled
4:59them back in the 1920s dnoc was
5:01suffering from something called
5:02encephalitis lethargica sometimes called
5:05sleeping sickness and people with this
5:07disease have difficulty speaking moving
5:09staying awake in the 1920s there was
5:12actually an epidemic of encephalitis
5:14lethargica that affected over a million
5:16people around the world but even though
5:18dinock had been living in the future for
5:19a full two weeks he never slept he would
5:22stay awake throughout the night reading
5:24books learning the new language but he
5:26never felt tired and never actually fell
5:28asleep he spent a lot of time using a
5:30new piece of technology called oregon
5:32schwager now up until now the most
5:35modern learning device dnoc ever
5:36encountered was a book but he describes
5:39the regan schwager as a handheld device
5:41with moving three-dimensional images
5:43that glow in the dark with sound music
5:46and narration
5:47like an ipad kinda yeah and denox
5:49doctors encouraged him to learn anything
5:52he wanted about the past but they did
5:53not let him study the 20th century they
5:56didn’t want him to have knowledge about
5:57any historical event that he might be
5:58able to change so what did he learn well
6:01the years 2000 through 2300 are the most
6:04difficult for the human race
6:05overpopulation and regional conflict are
6:08the biggest problems we face
6:10in 2204 we finally colonized mars over
6:1360 years the population on mars grows to
6:1620 million people but
6:18in 2265 there was some kind of
6:20planet-wide catastrophe like a large
6:22impact event that wiped out the entire
6:24colony and we never tried again in 2309
6:27there was a medium-scale nuclear war
6:29that devastated most of europe only the
6:32baltic and scandinavian countries
6:33survived which is presumably why their
6:35language is an english scandinavian
6:37hybrid now this war would be global and
6:40last for 80 years and most of the human
6:42population would be wiped out in 2396 a
6:45new world government called a redstot
6:46was established and this ends the
6:48ancient period of history and marks the
6:50beginning of modern history oh no what
6:53one world government
6:55yep when the red stop was formed in 2396
6:58it was a one world government designed
7:00to end the global war and it was a
7:02government like we’d recognize today
7:04corrupt pretty much it was run by the
7:06wealthy and powerful and countries
7:08around the world still had strong local
7:10nationalism so they resisted the new
7:12government for about 200 years
7:14eventually citizens stopped electing
7:16politicians and businessmen instead the
7:18higher offices were held by scientists
7:20philosophers and humanitarians
7:23what that actually makes sense it does
7:26and over the next 300 years society
7:28starts to reform in 2823 a world leader
7:32named torahild proposed a new economic
7:34system and this system is not based on
7:36global scarcity like our system instead
7:39the system is based on global adequacy
7:41it is at this point that people start
7:43working for the greater good
7:45initially they work for 40 years of
7:47their life in their chosen field and
7:48after that they retire all of their
7:50material needs are met by the global
7:52community now as time goes on technology
7:54and automation progresses so much that
7:57when paul dinock arrives people work
7:59only two years of their life they’re
8:01educated through their childhood and at
8:03age 17 they enter the workforce they
8:06work very hard for about two years and
8:08then they retire able to pursue any type
8:10of life they want they work for two
8:12years that’s it that’s it because in
8:143906 all material needs are met food
8:17shelter clothing education even
8:19entertainment and money as we know it
8:22isn’t used anymore instead value is
8:24placed in art and science you could
8:26absolutely pursue a career if you wanted
8:29like andreas northam was a physicist but
8:31you didn’t have to work if you wanted to
8:33live a life of leisure as long as you
8:35completed your two years of service you
8:37could do that sounds to me like some
8:39hippie star trek socialite paradise bull
8:42i admit it does kind of sound like that
8:44you know socialism and communism never
8:46work right i know that which is an
8:48interesting twist to the story let me
8:50ask you why doesn’t socialism work
8:52because no matter how good most people
8:54are there’s always selfish jerks who
8:56want more that’s right human nature gets
8:58in the way but by the year 3906 we’re
9:01not human anymore wait wait what at
9:03least we’re not human as we think of it
9:05we evolve into something else
9:10paul dinock talks of a phenomenon that
9:12starts to happen to people around the
9:14year three thousand it’s called the
9:16needlework needlework niebelwerk what i
9:19say in the future the human brain
9:21structure evolves and a new sense organ
9:23is developed this gives people the
9:25ability to perceive a new plane of
9:27existence and access to vast spiritual
9:30knowledge they call this ability over
9:32sin sons or supervision and it gave
9:35people a new cognitive ability instant
9:37enlightenment sounds pretty good well
9:39you would think this new sense gave
9:41people feelings of incredible happiness
9:43and spiritual peace and it’s described
9:45as divine joy acceptance of death a
9:48disregard for all worldly things
9:51and this feeling came all rushing at
9:53once people freaked out didn’t they they
9:56did and everyone who experienced the
9:58needlework died they died with looks of
10:01ecstasy on their faces but they were so
10:02overwhelmed that they couldn’t survive
10:04the event until
10:0633.82 on september 6th of that year a 76
10:10year old man named alexis volky was hit
10:13with the navel work needlework
10:15niebelwerk what’d i say
10:17but he survived
10:18and from then on everyone survived the
10:20nibel work eventually the switching on
10:22of this new perception was a common
10:24process in everyone’s life homo sapiens
10:27then gave way to a new species of human
10:30homo occidentalis novus or new western
10:33man so in the future human nature itself
10:35changes present humans are hardwired for
10:38survival competition and success even at
10:41the expense of others so this utopian
10:43vision of the future just wouldn’t work
10:45today but what if you can change the
10:47actual wiring of the human brain itself
10:49in 3906 there were hardly any laws they
10:52weren’t needed anymore people actually
10:55worked for the common good because
10:56that’s how they’re evolved selfishness
10:59is a concept that is studied as an
11:01archaic remnant of a less evolved
11:03species people in 3906 can’t even
11:06imagine themselves acting like we do
11:08today now paul dinock finds the future
11:10people very strange he says they act
11:12like carefree children but you have to
11:14admit
11:15there’s a part of you maybe even a large
11:17part that would like to go back to some
11:19moment in your childhood where all your
11:21needs were met where you had no fear no
11:23envy no anxiety as denox friend stefan
11:26says all these things that you view as
11:28strange who is to say that they are
11:30childish instead of divine
11:33interesting point
11:35but dinock wonders how would these
11:37people survive an outside threat like
11:39contact with aliens well stefan says
11:42they’ve already been contacted many
11:43times and it turned out fine
11:46humans in the future are aware of
11:48intelligent beings living in the solar
11:50system and around the galaxy but they
11:52aren’t interested in communication with
11:54us instead they prefer to study us from
11:56a distance but stefan does admit they
11:58have intervened with the human race on a
12:00few occasions like when our species was
12:02close to self-imposed extinction and
12:04enoch learns that these extraterrestrial
12:06beings experience their own kind of
12:08enlightenment needlework neighborwork
12:10what i say
12:12so aliens leave us alone to walk our own
12:14path
12:16when paul dinock was a young man he fell
12:18in love with a girl from his village
12:20named anna
12:21though anna felt the same her family
12:23wanted her to marry someone else now
12:25during one of their last moments
12:26together they were sitting on a hill
12:28surrounded by blossoming wind flowers
12:30which are white buttercups now paul
12:32wanted this day to last forever because
12:34he knew he was losing her so finally she
12:36said enough for today let’s go back and
12:39paul said promise me that i will see you
12:41again and she said she promised and the
12:43next time we’re here i’ll make a wreath
12:45of wind flowers for you to place upon my
12:47head now paul never did see her again
12:50and this was something that tormented
12:51him his entire life he would constantly
12:54pray for signs of anna’s eternal love
12:56for him but those signs never came okay
12:58cute story but
13:00where are we going with this let’s get
13:01back to the crazy stuff well having
13:04spent a year with the people in 3906
13:06d-noc developed a relationship with a
13:08woman named sylvia they decided to go
13:10for a day trip they traveled in what
13:12deena called avigiosa which was a flying
13:14vehicle that could take you anywhere on
13:16earth almost instantly he decided he
13:18wanted to visit his old village though
13:20sylvia didn’t know that’s where they
13:21were going so they spent the day talking
13:23and exploring eventually ending up on
13:25that same hill where paul and anna were
13:27all those years ago now wind flowers
13:29were also blossoming that day and while
13:32they sat and talked sylvia made a wreath
13:34of wind flowers she then looked at paul
13:36dinock and said enough for today let’s
13:39go back she hands him the reef and asks
13:41him to place it upon her head
13:43reincarnation yes dinock feels like he’s
13:46hit by lightning he sees this as the
13:48sign he’s been praying for his entire
13:50life later he reflects on the day with
13:52stefan who reminds him that time isn’t
13:54linear stefan believes sylvia is the
13:56reincarnated soul of anna who 2000 years
13:59later fulfills her promise that night
14:02paul dinock feels his eyes getting heavy
14:04and he wonders if he’ll finally be able
14:06to sleep at night from now on and his
14:08last thought is how much he missed this
14:10feeling finally andreas northam falls
14:12asleep for the first time in a year and
14:15back in 1922 paul dinock awakens from a
14:17year-long coma
14:21[Music]
14:24the story of paul amadeus dinock is such
14:27a good one but what really happened to
14:29him was his story real was it a hoax a
14:31money grab
14:32well there are a couple of options the
14:34first is that he was telling the truth
14:36that he really had a paranormal
14:37experience that sent him 2 000 years
14:40into the future and if you read the
14:42entire book it seems plausible it’s over
14:44300 pages and it’s full of details there
14:47are hundreds of names places dates dnoc
14:49talks about future technology like
14:51cryonics the internet flying vehicles
14:54teleporters and even something that
14:56sounds like a holodeck i can’t come
14:58close to covering everything here but
14:59i’ll link to the book if you want to
15:00check it out if you’re a kindle
15:02unlimited subscriber no sponsor it’s
15:04actually free to read the second option
15:06is that while in his coma paul dinock
15:08experienced what he thought was reality
15:10but was nothing more than vivid dreams
15:12you could dream in a coma well it
15:13depends on the illness and injury of the
15:15brain but people definitely can and do
15:17and if he was dreaming for a year that’s
15:19plenty of time to create a richly
15:21detailed vision of the future world but
15:23there’s one more theory we have to
15:24consider and it’s the theory that i
15:26believe
15:27it’s that paul amadeus dinock never
15:30existed
15:32even though the story of paul dinock is
15:33not that well known it’s been covered in
15:35a few blogs and podcasts and videos and
15:38in all of them the same photo of paul is
15:40used it’s the photo i used in the
15:42thumbnail it’s this one here but what’s
15:44never mentioned
15:45that this is actually the mugshot of
15:47daniel towhill who was arrested for
15:49theft in new zealand in 1908. also paul
15:52dinock lived in zurich in the 1920s
15:54that’s not that long ago the city has
15:57records of every citizen living in the
15:58city at that time as does the city of
16:00athens where dinock was supposed to be
16:02teaching but there are no records of
16:04anyone by this name not even close now
16:06georgia’s papahatsis the translator and
16:08publisher of the story says he tried to
16:10find enoch years later but couldn’t he
16:13attributed this to the fact that dinock
16:14fought for germany during world war one
16:17and actually changed his name before
16:19moving to neutral switzerland so we
16:20don’t know what his real name is yeah
16:22it’s convenient well what’s even more
16:24convenient is that the original
16:26handwritten diary is gone papa hatsu
16:28said that while living in greece during
16:30the war his house was searched by the
16:32greek military and because the notes
16:34were in german the soldiers seized them
16:36and never gave them back yeah sounds
16:37fishy it does and others have noted the
16:40similarity of this story to a story
16:42written by h.p lovecraft called the
16:44shadow out of time lovecraft’s story is
16:46written in the first person like a diary
16:48and the protagonist goes into a coma and
16:50wakes up at a different time
16:53well deenock woke up in the future and
16:55lovecraft’s hero wakes up in the past
16:57still there are similarities and the
16:59shadow out of time was published in 1936
17:02so if the story was inspired by
17:03lovecraft then there’s no way it was
17:05written by dinock in the 1920s so this
17:08greek dude read a hoax i don’t think so
17:10giorgio’s papahatsis was a highly
17:12respected law professor and intellectual
17:15he even served as a jurist on Greece’s
17:17council of state that was like their
17:18supreme court so this was a serious guy
17:21he was very interested in administrative
17:23law social studies and humanities and
17:26these are the themes we see in paul
17:27dinock’s diary it’s likely that the book
17:30was written as an intellectual exercise
17:32and exploration of human spirituality
17:34and papahasis added the sci-fi twist and
17:37the love story as literary devices now
17:39he probably didn’t mean for anyone to
17:41take it seriously as something that
17:42actually happened but there’s no way to
17:44know for sure i mean this is the age of
17:46the internet and if you write a story
17:48about a time-traveling coma patient
17:50people are going to believe it
17:52i certainly wanted to
17:53[Music]
17:55thanks so much for hanging out with us

He Spent a Year in 3906 | This is what Paul Amadeus Dienach saw

Dying of tuberculosis, he wanted to return home to Switzerland. Before he left, he gave hundreds of pages of handwritten notes to his favorite language student Georgios Papachatzis. Dienach thought translating his notes would help Papachatzis in his study of the German language. They said goodbye and never saw each other again. Papahatzis began translating the pages. There were whole passages about a coming nuclear war, colonizing Mars, and a global government. Sections about flying vehicles, holographic technology, and contact with alien life. Papchatzis thought it was a science fiction novel. But as more and more of the text was revealed, Papahatzis was shocked at what he discovered. This wasn’t a novel at all. This was actually Dienach’s personal diary. Dienach wrote about how he went into a coma and woke up 2000 years in the future. It seems that Paul Amadeus Dienach had experienced some kind of time slip that caused him to fall asleep in the year 1921, and wake up in the year 3906. He spent a whole year in the future. And he wrote down everything he saw. This is his story. —- Tinfoil hat stories: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list… Weird Science: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list… Science Science: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list… —- SUPPORT THE WHY FILES https://www.patreon.com/thewhyfiles —- OFFICIAL https://thewhyfiles.com —- SOCIAL Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheWhyFiles/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/thewhyfiles Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/OMGTheWhyFiles Twitter: https://twitter.com/OMGTheWhyFiles TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thewhyfiles Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OMGTheWhyFiles Discord: https://thewhyfiles.com/discord —- CHECK OUT HECKLEFISH’S CHANNEL https://www.youtube.com/c/HecklefishM… —- SOURCES & LINKS The book Chronicles from the Future: https://amzn.to/3MXzWSP Georgios Papachatzis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgio… The Shadow out of Time: https://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/…#unsolvedmysteries#timetravel#urbanlegendSHOW LESS

1 month ago (edited)As a guy who was in a coma, and waking from one — you can see and hear all kinds of weird things. Off-planet people, and an originator of all humans was in my waking experience. It was pretty entertaining. During my coma I did have bizarre things in a story line. It was all linear. In retrospect it was incredibly entertaining. I believe the brain must make information to be consumed! Lack of information is the same as being in solitary in prison. The human must consume information, or have something akin to it. It must be a survival mechanism for the sleeping brain.Read more

3 weeks agoThis is eerily similar to a dream my son told me about. One morning we sat talking for 2 hours about it. The details he gave were incredible. He also told me about concepts that his 8 year old mind had no knowledge of until the dream. I was so baffled and impressed that I recorded our conversation as he recalled his dream. It would make one awesome sci-fi novel.

2 days agoThis was a really cool story. I found myself subtracting the years because of just that tiny twinkle of hope of what we could be and how awesome it would be to not only just be alive at that time but to have come through our present time and how appreciative you would be because of what you had been through. Eventually though you would see the ship taking a sharp left turn and you would be screaming to everyone to please listen to you because you would be able to see where they were headed because as we all know history always repeats itself!REPLY

4 weeks agoThank you very much for this! Very interesting and I liked the fact you consider the strong possibility it’s all untrue. So many of videos like this are made by very credulous people who think everything said about an unlikely subject is true, it’s great to have someone who takes a balanced point of view!

2 weeks agoI’ve never heard this story before. Wow!! Utterly fascinating!! Reminds me of Al Bielek, (of the “Philadelphia Experiment” story), who went into the future from 1948 first to Montauk in the 1980s, then to the year 2137. Andrew Basiago, (a time traveler involved in Project Pegasus’s time-traveling experiments), stated that the Philadelphia Experiment story was a cover story to conceal the fact that a teleportation experiment was being implemented utilizing Tesla’s technology. The ship wasn’t the Eldridge, but the Martha’s Vineyard ship docked in Long Island Sound. It teleported to Newport News, VA. Perhaps Al Bielek created his “time travel” story based from this Paul Amadeus Dienach story? Life is never what it seems. 
Thank you for this interesting story!!Read more

3 weeks agoHe spent a whole year in the future. And he wrote down everything he saw. When did he write it down? He certainly couldn’t take paper notes with him back to his own time. And if he wrote it all down later, it wouldn’t be in the form of a daily diary. Most likely Papahatzis was the author of what WAS effectively a science-fiction novel. But like the authors of some of the earliest novels, he chose not to say so directly.Read more

0:01in 1924 paul amadeus dinock had been
0:04teaching the german language in greece
0:06dying of tuberculosis he wanted to
0:08return home to switzerland before he
0:10left he gave hundreds of pages of
0:12handwritten notes to his favorite
0:13language student georgios papahatsis
0:16dinock thought translating his notes
0:18would help papahatsus in his study of
0:20the german language they said goodbye
0:22never saw each other again papahatsus
0:25began translating the pages there were
0:27whole passages about a coming nuclear
0:29war colonizing mars and a global
0:32government sections about flying
0:34vehicles holographic technology and
0:36contact with alien life
0:38poppahotsis thought it was a science
0:40fiction novel but as more and more the
0:42text was revealed papahatsus was shocked
0:45at what he discovered this wasn’t a
0:47novel at all this was actually dienoch’s
0:49personal diary dinock wrote about how he
0:52went into a coma and woke up two
0:54thousand years in the future
0:56it seems that paul amadeus dinock had
0:59experienced some kind of time slip that
1:01caused him to fall asleep in the year
1:021921 and wake up in the year 3906
1:06he spent a whole year in the future and
1:08he wrote down everything he saw
1:10this is his story
1:11[Music]
1:16it’s may 1921. paul dinock is teaching
1:19his college language class when he
1:21starts to feel dizzy he has a history of
1:22illness and eventually ends up
1:24hospitalized he develops a terrible
1:26fever and for the next few hours he’s in
1:28and out of consciousness he perceives
1:30different men and women gathering around
1:32him but he’s too weak to communicate
1:34when he finally wakes up his hospital
1:36room is different people are dressed in
1:39unfamiliar clothing and they’re speaking
1:41a strange language being a language
1:43teacher he recognizes a few words from
1:45english and swedish adenoc tries to
1:48communicate but nobody can understand
1:50him one of the doctors recognizes his
1:52language the doctor tries his best to
1:54communicate in broken german he tells
1:56dnoc his name is actually andreas
1:59northam a famous physics professor who
2:01had an accident now dinock says he has
2:03no idea who andreas northam is but he’s
2:06shown a mirror and he sees a stranger’s
2:08face looking back at him now dinock
2:10becomes visibly upset and starts sobbing
2:13he thinks he’s dead or worse gone crazy
2:16he cries that he’s just a simple
2:18language teacher from switzerland and
2:19has no idea what’s happening to him
2:21the doctors seem to react to the word
2:23switzerland and someone asks him what
2:26year it is dinox says it’s 1922.
2:29a hush falls over the room after a few
2:31seconds the older physician steps
2:33forward and tells deenock but the ear is
2:35actually 3906 now dinock doesn’t believe
2:38it the blinds on his windows are opened
2:40and he sees buildings reaching through
2:42the clouds vehicles that seem to defy
2:44gravity buzz quickly past his window
2:47suddenly overwhelmed he blacks out
2:52dinock is watched carefully for three
2:53days but he eventually recovers enough
2:55to walk and he describes walls made of
2:58crystal that give you a panoramic view
3:00of the landscape objects are made of
3:02pastel colored glowing metal that’s warm
3:04to the touch and he’s led through a
3:06corridor to a large room here he meets
3:08two older men in white robes and at
3:10first dinock thinks they’re actually
3:12priests or kings but they’re actually
3:14called electors with an eye these are
3:17like elder wise men now up until this
3:19time doc’s doctors didn’t believe he was
3:21from the past they thought he was
3:22suffering from some kind of brain trauma
3:25but after questioning him for a while
3:26the electors do believe him they have
3:29knowledge of a rare psychic phenomenon
3:31that they called a consciousness shift
3:33where someone’s mind or soul could be
3:34transported into somebody else’s body
3:37and they think that’s what happened to
3:38dinock when andreas northam whose body
3:41was being occupied by dinoc was injured
3:43in an accident he was clinically dead
3:45for 15 minutes doctors dropped the
3:47temperature of his brain and they were
3:49able to restart his heart it was at that
3:51point the electors believed that this
3:53personality shift occurred and the mind
3:55of paul dinock was transferred into the
3:57body of andreas northam two thousand
4:00years in the future how does your
4:02consciousness get beamed into the future
4:04well enoch wonders about this too and he
4:06asked the electors about it and they say
4:08that time isn’t linear that everyone’s
4:10consciousness exists all the time
4:12everywhere you know even though this is
4:14a rare event it is something that’s
4:16known to happen it’s at this point that
4:18a man named stefan is summoned now
4:20stefan had been a close friend of
4:21andreas northam and the electors decide
4:23that only stefan and his doctors would
4:26know his true identity to everyone else
4:29paul dinock would be andreas northam and
4:31enoch would assume his life now the
4:33electors believe that if stefan could
4:35help andreas northam regain his memories
4:38that the personality shift could be
4:39reversed and dinock would be sent back
4:42to his own time so
4:43stefan agrees to visit dinoc every day
4:45to teach him about modern society but
4:48dinock is mostly interested about what
4:50happened in the past
4:53even though the doctors in
4:5560 understood the psychic personality
4:57shift there was one thing that puzzled
4:59them back in the 1920s dnoc was
5:01suffering from something called
5:02encephalitis lethargica sometimes called
5:05sleeping sickness and people with this
5:07disease have difficulty speaking moving
5:09staying awake in the 1920s there was
5:12actually an epidemic of encephalitis
5:14lethargica that affected over a million
5:16people around the world but even though
5:18dinock had been living in the future for
5:19a full two weeks he never slept he would
5:22stay awake throughout the night reading
5:24books learning the new language but he
5:26never felt tired and never actually fell
5:28asleep he spent a lot of time using a
5:30new piece of technology called oregon
5:32schwager now up until now the most
5:35modern learning device dnoc ever
5:36encountered was a book but he describes
5:39the regan schwager as a handheld device
5:41with moving three-dimensional images
5:43that glow in the dark with sound music
5:46and narration
5:47like an ipad kinda yeah and denox
5:49doctors encouraged him to learn anything
5:52he wanted about the past but they did
5:53not let him study the 20th century they
5:56didn’t want him to have knowledge about
5:57any historical event that he might be
5:58able to change so what did he learn well
6:01the years 2000 through 2300 are the most
6:04difficult for the human race
6:05overpopulation and regional conflict are
6:08the biggest problems we face
6:10in 2204 we finally colonized mars over
6:1360 years the population on mars grows to
6:1620 million people but
6:18in 2265 there was some kind of
6:20planet-wide catastrophe like a large
6:22impact event that wiped out the entire
6:24colony and we never tried again in 2309
6:27there was a medium-scale nuclear war
6:29that devastated most of europe only the
6:32baltic and scandinavian countries
6:33survived which is presumably why their
6:35language is an english scandinavian
6:37hybrid now this war would be global and
6:40last for 80 years and most of the human
6:42population would be wiped out in 2396 a
6:45new world government called a redstot
6:46was established and this ends the
6:48ancient period of history and marks the
6:50beginning of modern history oh no what
6:53one world government
6:55yep when the red stop was formed in 2396
6:58it was a one world government designed
7:00to end the global war and it was a
7:02government like we’d recognize today
7:04corrupt pretty much it was run by the
7:06wealthy and powerful and countries
7:08around the world still had strong local
7:10nationalism so they resisted the new
7:12government for about 200 years
7:14eventually citizens stopped electing
7:16politicians and businessmen instead the
7:18higher offices were held by scientists
7:20philosophers and humanitarians
7:23what that actually makes sense it does
7:26and over the next 300 years society
7:28starts to reform in 2823 a world leader
7:32named torahild proposed a new economic
7:34system and this system is not based on
7:36global scarcity like our system instead
7:39the system is based on global adequacy
7:41it is at this point that people start
7:43working for the greater good
7:45initially they work for 40 years of
7:47their life in their chosen field and
7:48after that they retire all of their
7:50material needs are met by the global
7:52community now as time goes on technology
7:54and automation progresses so much that
7:57when paul dinock arrives people work
7:59only two years of their life they’re
8:01educated through their childhood and at
8:03age 17 they enter the workforce they
8:06work very hard for about two years and
8:08then they retire able to pursue any type
8:10of life they want they work for two
8:12years that’s it that’s it because in
8:143906 all material needs are met food
8:17shelter clothing education even
8:19entertainment and money as we know it
8:22isn’t used anymore instead value is
8:24placed in art and science you could
8:26absolutely pursue a career if you wanted
8:29like andreas northam was a physicist but
8:31you didn’t have to work if you wanted to
8:33live a life of leisure as long as you
8:35completed your two years of service you
8:37could do that sounds to me like some
8:39hippie star trek socialite paradise bull
8:42i admit it does kind of sound like that
8:44you know socialism and communism never
8:46work right i know that which is an
8:48interesting twist to the story let me
8:50ask you why doesn’t socialism work
8:52because no matter how good most people
8:54are there’s always selfish jerks who
8:56want more that’s right human nature gets
8:58in the way but by the year 3906 we’re
9:01not human anymore wait wait what at
9:03least we’re not human as we think of it
9:05we evolve into something else
9:10paul dinock talks of a phenomenon that
9:12starts to happen to people around the
9:14year three thousand it’s called the
9:16needlework needlework niebelwerk what i
9:19say in the future the human brain
9:21structure evolves and a new sense organ
9:23is developed this gives people the
9:25ability to perceive a new plane of
9:27existence and access to vast spiritual
9:30knowledge they call this ability over
9:32sin sons or supervision and it gave
9:35people a new cognitive ability instant
9:37enlightenment sounds pretty good well
9:39you would think this new sense gave
9:41people feelings of incredible happiness
9:43and spiritual peace and it’s described
9:45as divine joy acceptance of death a
9:48disregard for all worldly things
9:51and this feeling came all rushing at
9:53once people freaked out didn’t they they
9:56did and everyone who experienced the
9:58needlework died they died with looks of
10:01ecstasy on their faces but they were so
10:02overwhelmed that they couldn’t survive
10:04the event until
10:0633.82 on september 6th of that year a 76
10:10year old man named alexis volky was hit
10:13with the navel work needlework
10:15niebelwerk what’d i say
10:17but he survived
10:18and from then on everyone survived the
10:20nibel work eventually the switching on
10:22of this new perception was a common
10:24process in everyone’s life homo sapiens
10:27then gave way to a new species of human
10:30homo occidentalis novus or new western
10:33man so in the future human nature itself
10:35changes present humans are hardwired for
10:38survival competition and success even at
10:41the expense of others so this utopian
10:43vision of the future just wouldn’t work
10:45today but what if you can change the
10:47actual wiring of the human brain itself
10:49in 3906 there were hardly any laws they
10:52weren’t needed anymore people actually
10:55worked for the common good because
10:56that’s how they’re evolved selfishness
10:59is a concept that is studied as an
11:01archaic remnant of a less evolved
11:03species people in 3906 can’t even
11:06imagine themselves acting like we do
11:08today now paul dinock finds the future
11:10people very strange he says they act
11:12like carefree children but you have to
11:14admit
11:15there’s a part of you maybe even a large
11:17part that would like to go back to some
11:19moment in your childhood where all your
11:21needs were met where you had no fear no
11:23envy no anxiety as denox friend stefan
11:26says all these things that you view as
11:28strange who is to say that they are
11:30childish instead of divine
11:33interesting point
11:35but dinock wonders how would these
11:37people survive an outside threat like
11:39contact with aliens well stefan says
11:42they’ve already been contacted many
11:43times and it turned out fine
11:46humans in the future are aware of
11:48intelligent beings living in the solar
11:50system and around the galaxy but they
11:52aren’t interested in communication with
11:54us instead they prefer to study us from
11:56a distance but stefan does admit they
11:58have intervened with the human race on a
12:00few occasions like when our species was
12:02close to self-imposed extinction and
12:04enoch learns that these extraterrestrial
12:06beings experience their own kind of
12:08enlightenment needlework neighborwork
12:10what i say
12:12so aliens leave us alone to walk our own
12:14path
12:16when paul dinock was a young man he fell
12:18in love with a girl from his village
12:20named anna
12:21though anna felt the same her family
12:23wanted her to marry someone else now
12:25during one of their last moments
12:26together they were sitting on a hill
12:28surrounded by blossoming wind flowers
12:30which are white buttercups now paul
12:32wanted this day to last forever because
12:34he knew he was losing her so finally she
12:36said enough for today let’s go back and
12:39paul said promise me that i will see you
12:41again and she said she promised and the
12:43next time we’re here i’ll make a wreath
12:45of wind flowers for you to place upon my
12:47head now paul never did see her again
12:50and this was something that tormented
12:51him his entire life he would constantly
12:54pray for signs of anna’s eternal love
12:56for him but those signs never came okay
12:58cute story but
13:00where are we going with this let’s get
13:01back to the crazy stuff well having
13:04spent a year with the people in 3906
13:06d-noc developed a relationship with a
13:08woman named sylvia they decided to go
13:10for a day trip they traveled in what
13:12deena called avigiosa which was a flying
13:14vehicle that could take you anywhere on
13:16earth almost instantly he decided he
13:18wanted to visit his old village though
13:20sylvia didn’t know that’s where they
13:21were going so they spent the day talking
13:23and exploring eventually ending up on
13:25that same hill where paul and anna were
13:27all those years ago now wind flowers
13:29were also blossoming that day and while
13:32they sat and talked sylvia made a wreath
13:34of wind flowers she then looked at paul
13:36dinock and said enough for today let’s
13:39go back she hands him the reef and asks
13:41him to place it upon her head
13:43reincarnation yes dinock feels like he’s
13:46hit by lightning he sees this as the
13:48sign he’s been praying for his entire
13:50life later he reflects on the day with
13:52stefan who reminds him that time isn’t
13:54linear stefan believes sylvia is the
13:56reincarnated soul of anna who 2000 years
13:59later fulfills her promise that night
14:02paul dinock feels his eyes getting heavy
14:04and he wonders if he’ll finally be able
14:06to sleep at night from now on and his
14:08last thought is how much he missed this
14:10feeling finally andreas northam falls
14:12asleep for the first time in a year and
14:15back in 1922 paul dinock awakens from a
14:17year-long coma
14:21[Music]
14:24the story of paul amadeus dinock is such
14:27a good one but what really happened to
14:29him was his story real was it a hoax a
14:31money grab
14:32well there are a couple of options the
14:34first is that he was telling the truth
14:36that he really had a paranormal
14:37experience that sent him 2 000 years
14:40into the future and if you read the
14:42entire book it seems plausible it’s over
14:44300 pages and it’s full of details there
14:47are hundreds of names places dates dnoc
14:49talks about future technology like
14:51cryonics the internet flying vehicles
14:54teleporters and even something that
14:56sounds like a holodeck i can’t come
14:58close to covering everything here but
14:59i’ll link to the book if you want to
15:00check it out if you’re a kindle
15:02unlimited subscriber no sponsor it’s
15:04actually free to read the second option
15:06is that while in his coma paul dinock
15:08experienced what he thought was reality
15:10but was nothing more than vivid dreams
15:12you could dream in a coma well it
15:13depends on the illness and injury of the
15:15brain but people definitely can and do
15:17and if he was dreaming for a year that’s
15:19plenty of time to create a richly
15:21detailed vision of the future world but
15:23there’s one more theory we have to
15:24consider and it’s the theory that i
15:26believe
15:27it’s that paul amadeus dinock never
15:30existed
15:32even though the story of paul dinock is
15:33not that well known it’s been covered in
15:35a few blogs and podcasts and videos and
15:38in all of them the same photo of paul is
15:40used it’s the photo i used in the
15:42thumbnail it’s this one here but what’s
15:44never mentioned
15:45that this is actually the mugshot of
15:47daniel towhill who was arrested for
15:49theft in new zealand in 1908. also paul
15:52dinock lived in zurich in the 1920s
15:54that’s not that long ago the city has
15:57records of every citizen living in the
15:58city at that time as does the city of
16:00athens where dinock was supposed to be
16:02teaching but there are no records of
16:04anyone by this name not even close now
16:06georgia’s papahatsis the translator and
16:08publisher of the story says he tried to
16:10find enoch years later but couldn’t he
16:13attributed this to the fact that dinock
16:14fought for germany during world war one
16:17and actually changed his name before
16:19moving to neutral switzerland so we
16:20don’t know what his real name is yeah
16:22it’s convenient well what’s even more
16:24convenient is that the original
16:26handwritten diary is gone papa hatsu
16:28said that while living in greece during
16:30the war his house was searched by the
16:32greek military and because the notes
16:34were in german the soldiers seized them
16:36and never gave them back yeah sounds
16:37fishy it does and others have noted the
16:40similarity of this story to a story
16:42written by h.p lovecraft called the
16:44shadow out of time lovecraft’s story is
16:46written in the first person like a diary
16:48and the protagonist goes into a coma and
16:50wakes up at a different time
16:53well deenock woke up in the future and
16:55lovecraft’s hero wakes up in the past
16:57still there are similarities and the
16:59shadow out of time was published in 1936
17:02so if the story was inspired by
17:03lovecraft then there’s no way it was
17:05written by dinock in the 1920s so this
17:08greek dude read a hoax i don’t think so
17:10giorgio’s papahatsis was a highly
17:12respected law professor and intellectual
17:15he even served as a jurist on greece’s
17:17council of state that was like their
17:18supreme court so this was a serious guy
17:21he was very interested in administrative
17:23law social studies and humanities and
17:26these are the themes we see in paul
17:27dinock’s diary it’s likely that the book
17:30was written as an intellectual exercise
17:32and exploration of human spirituality
17:34and papahasis added the sci-fi twist and
17:37the love story as literary devices now
17:39he probably didn’t mean for anyone to
17:41take it seriously as something that
17:42actually happened but there’s no way to
17:44know for sure i mean this is the age of
17:46the internet and if you write a story
17:48about a time-traveling coma patient
17:50people are going to believe it
17:52i certainly wanted to
