The phrase “time capsule” was invented in 1937. The main significance of the phrase was to communicate with human beings in the future about a particular date. Nowadays, the phrase is used to describe intentional and unintentional discoveries. Intentional discoveries have meaning anchored to definite dates and times while unintentional discoveries define items that may not be defined on the dates and times that they occurred. San Diego , which is the largest city in California enjoys adverse time capsules which are used to mark various moments for the city.
