TELEGRAM MESSAGES TRAVELING FASTER THAN LIGHT SPEED
Encrypted messaging app breaks physics laws and delivers texts before they're sent
MOSCOW, IDAHO – Physicists at the University of Idaho are scrambling to understand a phenomenon that threatens to shatter our understanding of reality itself after dozens of users reported receiving Telegram messages before they were actually sent, with some arriving up to 47 minutes prior to transmission.
The bizarre incidents first came to light when graduate student Rebecca Martinez received a text from her roommate asking about dinner plans at 3:22 PM on Tuesday – only to watch in stunned disbelief as her roommate typed and sent the identical message at 4:09 PM that same afternoon.
“I screenshotted everything because I knew nobody would believe me,” Martinez told reporters, her hands visibly shaking as she displayed the timestamp evidence. “I even responded to the message before she sent it. When I showed her my reply, she went completely white. She said she hadn’t even thought about texting me yet when I answered.”
Dr. Elena Kowalski, a quantum physics professor who has been investigating the reports, believes the encrypted messaging platform may have accidentally tapped into what she calls “temporal data streams.”
“What we’re seeing defies every known law of physics,” Dr. Kowalski explained during an emergency press conference. “Information cannot travel faster than light, yet we have documented cases of digital messages arriving in the past relative to their transmission point. If this is real, it suggests Telegram’s encryption algorithms may have created an unintentional bridge through spacetime itself.”
The incidents are not isolated. More than 200 users across 17 countries have now reported similar experiences through underground forums and social media platforms, though mainstream tech publications have remained mysteriously silent about the phenomenon. Users describe receiving messages that contain information about future events, conversations that haven’t happened yet, and responses to questions they haven’t asked.
One particularly disturbing case involves London businessman James Fletcher, who claims to have received a Telegram message from his wife describing a car accident – three hours before she was actually involved in the crash. Armed with the foreknowledge, Fletcher was able to convince his wife to take a different route home, potentially saving her life.
Government agencies have begun taking notice. Sources within the Department of Energy, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirm that federal investigators have quietly launched an inquiry into Telegram’s servers and infrastructure. Several users who initially came forward publicly about their experiences have since recanted their stories or disappeared from social media entirely.
“They don’t want us talking about this,” whispers Martinez, glancing nervously over her shoulder. “Two men in suits came to my apartment asking questions about my ‘research interests.’ I never said I was researching anything.”
Telegram’s parent company has issued only a brief statement dismissing the reports as “user error and misunderstood timestamps,” but former company employees paint a different picture. Ivan Petrov, who worked on Telegram’s encryption protocols until his abrupt termination last month, suggests the company may have stumbled onto something far beyond their understanding.
“The new quantum encryption they implemented uses algorithms based on theoretical physics that nobody fully comprehends,” Petrov revealed during a clandestine meeting at a remote café. “They’re manipulating data at the subatomic level. If they’ve accidentally created some kind of temporal loop or quantum entanglement effect, the implications are terrifying.”
As reports continue to surface worldwide, one question haunts researchers: if messages can travel backward through time, what else might be slipping through these cracks in reality?
