John Titor was an alleged time traveler from the year 2036, who shared detailed information about his time machine, mission, and original timeline with forum users in the years 2000 and 2001.
A Brief History Of John Titor In 1998, late night paranormal talk show host Art Bell received two faxes from an individual claiming to have pertinent information on the nature of time travel.
In the first fax, the sender (at that time, unnamed) detailed the discovery of time travel (involving the particle accelerator at CERN) in the year 2034. He also claimed that a “brick wall” existed in the timeline, and that no traveler could breach the year 2564.
The second fax, while less detailed, promised photographic evidence, as well as scans of the traveler’s time machine operations manual.
On November 2, 2000, an individual using the forum username TimeTravel_0 posted at the Time Travel Institute (TTI), in a thread titled Time-travel Paradoxes!: “Wow! Paul is right on the money. I was just about to give up hope on anyone knowing who Tipler or Kerr was on this worldline.
By the way, #2 is the correct answer and the basics for time travel start at CERN in about a year and end in 2034 with the first “time machine” built by GE. Too bad we can’t post pictures or I’de show it to you.” On January 27, 2001, this same user appeared on Art Bell’s Post to Post BBS, creating a new thread titled I am from 2036:
“Greetings. I am a time traveler from the year 2036. I am on my way home after getting an IBM 5100 computer system from the year 1975.
My “time” machine is a stationary mass, temporal displacement unit manufactured by General Electric. The unit is powered by two, top-spin, dual-positive singularities that produce a standard, off-set Tipler sinusoid.
I will be happy to post pictures of the unit.” The individual posting as John Titor went on to answer questions, detail the function and design of his time machine, and provide alleged photographs of the time machine and its operations manual. On March 24, 2001 John Titor shared his final message. “I will be leaving this worldline shortly and this will be my final post,” he wrote. True to his word, he never posted again.
To this day, no one knows John Titor’s true identity. His true name, his appearance, his location — all of it remains a mystery. If he was an actual time traveler, as he claimed, that version of John Titor no longer exists on this worldline. If he was a hoax, an individual playing a character, that person has yet to officially come forward to reveal the truth with evidence.
Saw your reference. Interesting.
“He also claimed that a “brick wall” existed in the timeline, and that no traveler could breach the year 2564.”
Did they ask Chuck Yeager to give it a shot?
If time travel was invented in the 2030s, we would be overwhelmed with time travel tourists trying to see the mask freak show of 2020-2021!
Those kids. They certainly had fun with this one even when it came apart.
A bad call on a civil war among others but hey, it was a lot of fun.
Mmmmmkay.
What a waste of ‘time’.
“”the case that the causality violations appear in a finite region of spacetime without curvature singularities” and proves that “[t]here will be a Cauchy horizon that is compactly generated and that in general contains one or more closed null geodesics which will be incomplete.”
Just sayin’...
The HAL (Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic Computer) 9000 computer is an artificial intelligence and the onboard computer on the spaceship Discovery 1. HAL 9000, more commonly called “Hal”, became operational in the HAL plant in Urbana, Illinois, on January 12, 2024. He belonged to Elon Musk before he ate him.
LOL. It'd be like choosing to vacation at the south side of Chicago.
Sounds like a fake name (like Sillius Soddus or Biggus Diccus).
“two, top-spin, dual-positive singularities that produce a standard, off-set Tipler sinusoid.”
I had that after a wild night with “Tiffany”?
If only I had a dollar for every looney tune on arts bell and coast to coast I would be as nutty as Bill Gates.
Well played.
It’s great to learn we’ll survive the soroznazi - Biden/ ineligibleharris regime!
“ …My “time” machine is a stationary mass, temporal displacement unit manufactured by General Electric….”
********************************************
It his time machine is stationary after his trip back to our time he will have arrive at a place, in our expanding universe, in space where the Earth will be at the future time he left. His arrival location will likely be a cold empty space. From where we are at now, our planet will move through space as it rotates and orbits our Sun. And, of course, our Sun will continue in its orbit around the center of our Milky Way galaxy which itself is moving through space.
The thing is, he warned about Y2K in 1998, then when he came back in 2000 he was concerned that he changed the timeline.
I remember around 1998 everyone suddenly worrying about Y2K- I did a lot of software work finding Y2K fixes.
His description of the civil war sounds EXACTLY like what is happening now.
His original projection was that it would start in 2008 - but that since Y2K did not happen on this timeline it delayed it.
The thing is, this was actually recorded in the year 2000. CERN, Multiple Universes, etc were NOT well known like they are now.
