I fancy myself a thinker and I cant get my head around time travel even a little bit. Time is a scary thing.

I dont think going into the future is possible because the universe is expanding and the future has not happened yet...

I think we will fold space before we time travel

Taken from the official website where the Titor guy answers questions: "Are the Olympics still being played in the future?
As a result of the many conflicts, no, there were no official Olympics after 2004. However, it appears they may be revived in 2040." One word: FAKE!!!

perhaps in his future the olympic games were not played after 2004, but by coming back he changed the space time continuum and ripped a hole between our parallel worlds, thus resulting in a different future for us...?!?

the most sensible theory of time travel that i have come across does state that we cannot travel forward in time but only back.

the theory states that time ans space is a wave. and if you are able to compress that wave, you are theoretically able to travel back in time.

think of an acordian. when the bag is collapsed the "crest" of each wrinkle are nearly touching and one can step from one to the other.
if this theory is correct, it means that theres only certain times in the past we can travel to.

i believe folding space and time travel goes hand in hand.

want a headache? think about this situation..... you're sitting at the cockpit of a space ship that can travel faster then the speed of light.
while you are traveling at speed, can you see anything behind you? what about in front of you?
if you turn 90 degrees from the direction you're traveling what do you see?

On one of the last days of my Senior year of high school, my English teacher's brilliant science major husband came to our class and spoke to us about time travelling and basically stated exactly what Einstein has proven. If you want an explanation of the only possible way to travel through time, you'd better read up on what Einstein stated.
BTW, this John Titor crap is predictably fake. Did he not predict a WWIII in 2008? Umm... In a month, 2008 will be over, so . Unless someone nukes the crap out of another country within a month, John Titor is a fake and anyone who believed him is stupid.

BTW, he states:
You do not rewrite history. I can only affect what happens here just as easily as you can. Why do people in this time period worry so much about time traveler's destroying their world line when they have no problem doing it themselves every day?
Umm... By supposedly travelling back in time, you are drawing people's attention, especially since you're posting on the internet about you being able to travel back in time. If this guy is real, did he not change time somehow by informing us of his being able to travel back in time? Or was it destined for him to do that and draw a little bit of the public's attention?

Does anything happen in the year 2012? I've heard stories about the world ending.
In my 2012, I was 14 years old spending most of my time living, running and hiding in the woods and rivers of central Florida. The civil war was in its 7th year and the world war was three years away. Yes, there are unusual events in 2012 but they do not cause the world to end. Unfortunately, I have decided not to discuss events that you or I can do anything about. It is important that they be a surprise. Perhaps you are familiar with the story of the Red Sea and the Egyptians?
2012 - 7 = 2005. In 2005, the only war we had was the one we're involved in today (the Iraq War, obviously). Where is the Civil War this loser speaks of?
John Titor was obviously just some random low-life guy who found out about internet connection and began using it a bit too much.

Sorry, I just feel like I have to prove that this is fake:

Does money look different than it does now?
No, money is pretty much the same. Unfortunately, I do not have any money with me because I wouldn't be able to use it here.
Umm... In 2001, we only had these types of bills:


He could've pointed out that some of the bills changed dramatically over the years:

Obviously he's a fake, but I don't think your argument holds water. To me, money still does look "pretty much the same". Still mostly green. Still has the same denominations. Still has the same presidents on the front. Still has the same text in various places and pictures on the back. To me, that qualifies for "pretty much the same". If you asked me to compare today's money with the money from 1980, I'd say it looks pretty much the same.

^^^True, but you could also point out that a purple-ish color has been added on to it, some numbers on the bill shine when pointed toward the sun, etc.
