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.
“ Ah, not this silly stuff again. This is Coast-to-Coast type crap, right up there with shapeshifters, holes that have no end, Bigfoot, and all that foolishness.”
You forgot shadow people and remote viewing! 😂
"Greetings, my friend. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember my friend, future events such as these will affect you in the future."
If you want to see a great series, look up ‘Travellers’.
He was a fake, he didn’t talk about the stolen election of 2020, the mask mandate or Senator Romney of Utah... 😀
If John Titor was from 2030, you might think he would mention something about 2020. Like “2020, man. Bummer.”
I will. Thanks.
You’ve been watching Turbo Encabulator videos again, haven’t you.
Yes. Unless he changed the future with his visit and caused the timeline to allow “shitty 2020” instead of “not notable 2020”.

ARTHUR Dietricht?
It’s an honor sir!
(since some doofus would just come along and change it so why bother doing anything)
LOL! Interesting take.
A great undead thread possibility, I heard it from a guy from the future!
I read this as it was being posted pre 9-11. It was really entertaining!
I heard it from a guy from the future!—With killer coffee!
They come in mighty handy now and then when you have to explain a complex technical topic to the great unwashed.
Obvious fake. Nobody names their kids “John” anymore.
READ A SI-FI SHORT STORY DECADES AGO ABOUT A TIME TRAVELER.
GUY HAD DISCOVERED THE UNDERLYING PRINCIPLE OF TIME TRAVEL. ALA DOC BROWN, AND WORKED FOR YEARS TO PERFECT A MACHINE TO DO SO. AS HE WORKED HE REALIZED WHAT A ROTTEN WORLD IT WAS, AND DECIDED THAT HE WOULD TRAVEL INTO THE FUTURE A FEW HUNDRED YEARS AND ACQUIRE WEAPONS THAT HE COULD COME BACK WITH TO BE INVINCIBLE, FIX THE WORLD, AND RULE IT.
FINALLY HE WAS READY. HE HAD CHECKED AND RECHECKED EVERYTHING
HE WAS READY! HE ENTERED THE MACHINE, THREW THE SWITCH, AND WAS INSTANTLY TRANSPORTED HUNDREDS OF YEARS INTO THE FUTURE.
BUT, HE HAD FORGOTTEN THAT THE EARTH MOVES IN TIME AND SPACE,SO HE DIED ALMOST INSTANTLY IN THE VOID WHERE THE EARTH USED TO BE.
NEAT STORY. ANYONE ELSE READ IT?
