Jenny, a reporter for the New York Times, decided to go to Powder Street because her mother grew up there. If the rumors were true, she wanted to see if it was possible to enter her mother's childhood.

As a society reporter, Jenny has been writing stories about strange things. When she was in college, she interviewed a passenger who had an adventure over Bermuda. The man recalled that his plane lost contact with the ground for two hours, and the ground thought they had fallen into the sea. Then they magically came back... Although no one has yet been able to explain this mystery, Jenny believes that there is some kind of mysterious passage there, connecting to the other world.

Her boyfriend, however, scoffs at the idea.

Her boyfriend, who covers breaking stories and does not believe in supernatural forces, joked: "If there really is a time tunnel in Bird Street, and you are lucky enough to enter it, and even lucky enough to meet your mother, if you take her by the hand and drag her out into the world, then your mother's fate will be changed by you. How can you explain your existence? Isn't this the greatest contradiction and joke?"

Her boyfriend even made a bet with her that they would spend a month on Bird Street and make their new house look fantastic if they could only see and photograph the sights.

The couple, armed with high-powered cameras, set up shop on Bird Street. The house they rented is between the post office and the Stone Bookshop. To their surprise, the streets were crowded with explorers from all over the world in search of a time warp, making the hot weather even more oppressive.

Jenny and her boyfriend also chose to hang out on Bird Street when the sun is at its strongest. But for half a month, they walked back and forth together for countless times, without any unusual encounter.

One day, while they were walking, the boyfriend suddenly thought their behavior was ridiculous and offered to go home, but Jenny insisted on staying. They quarreled, and Jenny left in a fit of anger. The boyfriend angrily sat down on the street and realized for the first time that his girlfriend's superstition had hurt their love.

The boyfriend sat with his head down for a long time before he decided to go after Jenny. But when he looked up, he noticed that something was wrong around him. The modern people in fashionable clothes had disappeared and were replaced by people in old clothes. He even sees one of the oldest vintage cars passing by. He realizes, to his surprise, that he has entered the time warp, but when he touches his chest, the camera is not with him, but with Jenny.

His first reaction is to find Jenny, making everything in sight, he quickly walked forward, see the familiar couldn't be familiar with the shops are all changed, in a written words "Burberry women supplies monopoly" before the store, he won't want to miss this golden opportunity, he walked into the shop, women want to bring something back from there to do certificate. But when he got inside, he saw that it was a bookstore, and he saw Jenny, who had bought a large pile of books and was about to pay for them.

He had only crossed a threshold, and everything in front of him changed back to its original shape. He ran to Jennie, who was still angry and ignored him, and he could only say, "I see..." As she removed the camera from her chest.

But when he crossed the threshold and went out into the street again, the people in their outdated clothes were gone again, and the sun was so bright that one could hardly keep his eyes open. Jenny didn't understand. "What do you see?" she asked.

"The people dressed in strange clothes, and the street in the past, that was right in front of me, but you took the camera." "Replied the boyfriend.

Jenny was immediately excited. She pulled her boyfriend along and asked, "Where did you first notice something was wrong? That must be the entrance to the tunnel."

Jenny dragged her boyfriend up and down that stretch of road, but the wind was rising and they saw nothing but the billowing contemporaries.

The boyfriend's experience smoothed over their differences and they decided to stay and not leave their cameras around the clock.

However, several cloudy days followed, and they prowled the streets, taking no pictures.

The 112-year-old Burberry clothing company is very proud to announce that they did indeed open a luxuriously decorated women's goods store on Bird Street in 1951.

It follows that Bird Street does indeed have a time tunnel to 1951, as the Beatles formed in Liverpool in 1951.

Experts say that if the time tunnel theory is true, then there should be two different time tunnels near Bird Street because the massive bombing of Liverpool by German Helll bombers in 1943 means that there is a time tunnel to the 1940s above the street.

The head of Britain's leading scientific body has concluded that the current state of the art cannot explain the existence of the two channels, apart from believing in Einstein's theory of wormholes based on the conservation of energy.
