he is a true time traveler!!!! he has the advantage of knowing the future and plays off people who are curious.
he will only give enough info to keep your attention.
all that he has said that turned out to be false were on purpose cause he obviously does not want our future/his present to change.
he just wants be acknowledged as a time traveler.

outstanding! a brilliant time traveler avoiding temporal disruptions but still feeding his narcissistic needs through compulsive lying... except for the time travel part-- THAT'S TRUE!

wow I didn't even mention this. Anybody ever hear of the Philadelphia experiment? The movie is not really related to the true history of it at all. It was the U.S. navys attempt to basically make their ships invisble to radar since it was during WW2 and Uboats were creating disaster. I think they used a pretty famous physicist einstein? to help out. This experiment failed miserably. What ended up happening was that the ship got transported to another dimension and then another location hundreds of miles away. The navy ship was tied to another ship, all witnesses could see were the ropes still attached to the ship like it was there but the ship completely dissapeared. The ship and surrounding water was also covered in a greenish hazy fog. The crew had horrible stories to tell. When the ship did reappear some of the crew were actually molded into the bulkhead and walls of the ship. Half of their body would be in the steel then the other half would be outside. Shortly after this happened, some of the crew would actually dissappear and reappaer for seconds. One example was a bar fight. 2 navy enlisted guys went into a bar from that ship and got into a fight shortly after. The 2 sailors according to witnsses in the bar dissapeared and then reappeared.
This story fascinated me when I was a kid and it came out in the 80s. Numerous numerous books on this subject, unsolved mysyeries did a show along with discovery channel, sci fi etc.
Anybody else know more about this?
yeaahhhh unsolved mysteries was such an awesome show. i wonder if they have any on youtube...

if u time travel just make sure you have a constant. or else you're gonna start jumping back and forth between different time frames, followed by nose bleeds, and eventually your death.

Time travel discussion? Mmmmm sorry but i just HAVE to mention Donnie Darko <3 (amazing movie)

And here is a question/idea to boggle your minds:

Picture this..the moment that time travelling is finally discovered (by you).

it would be either impossible or very dangerous to travel back in time.

If it was possible than if you did you would be creating a constant "loop" of you(s) performing this action. Everytime you travelled back in time you would create a second reality (which includes another you) leading to the moment where you "travel" back in time again. This would basically replicate itself repeatedly over and over again and you would be forced to kill the new you to prevent this process from continuing on. You would have to kill the new you on your first try or the process would be endless.

Either that is the case OR there is only one you, and will only be one you (although i disagree with this idea). This would be impossible because even if you jumped back in time everything would be occuring the same way up until the moment of your jump (ex. your birth, and life interactions) In this sense you either become just a second you in a world thats future will be forever changed by your new interactions OR you will interfere with the birth of yourself again creating a new future OR again create this "loop" dilemma should you not change enough to stop yourself from travelling back in time.

Should you jump forward in time you would miss everything that happend before your future arrival date.



So either you jump back and do not interfere with the world (just becoming an observer) or you choose to interact consequently creating a new world with a different future than you knew. Or you jump forward and miss everything that has passed from the time of you jumping to the time of your future arrival. Again be careful because if you choose to jump back to change something in the past you will be altering the future that you had just seen.

I think this makes sense..i just thought about it for the last 3 hours at work

I'm actually reading it. I didn't realize this John Titor phenomenon caught attention outside of the internet, too.


Anyway, as for CR EH's post, that makes complete sense. I understand exactly what you're saying.
