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.
Not possible since the future hasn’t happened yet; there is only the present.
Thanks. I loved Art Bells show when driving late at night. Similar feel.

And just to be certain: none of this is my fault.
Spent many a night travelling with C2C on the radio, good entertainment.
Maybe Robert Lamm would know the answer? lol (nod to Chicago 25 or 6 to 4)
yeah that’s the exact reason I know 100% certain that time travel (to the past at least) will never be invented. Because if it was ever invented... we would have time tourists. Once something is ready to be invented, you can’t keep the cat in the bag for long.
Those who control the present control the past and those who control the past control the future.
(forgot who said that, maybe Orwell, or Phillip K. Dick, or both ;-o)
There is a theory that Donald Trump was the creator of John Titor. Trump’s uncle was involved with gathering and studying Tesla’s research after Tesla died. A job assigned to him by the government. It is said that Trump and his uncle were close. Therefore giving Trump the tools that he would need to create such a fictional character. As many of us know Trump was recently involved with another huge pie in the sky type character called “Q”.
Now you tell me.
Was Mr. Titor successful in keeping Stan Marsh off drugs?
Interesting.
Ah well presumably it is very highly controlled, because if a time tourist from the future disrupted anything at all (and just observing the past is theoretically a disturbance) then the future from which the traveler came may no longer exist.
I learned all that from Jean-Claude Van-Damme, Timecop.

“two, top-spin, dual-positive singularities that produce a standard, off-set Tipler sinusoid.”
Right there, you can tell it’s a fake. You don’t use an off-set on the Tipler sinusoid. An off-set conflicts with the flux capacitor and will burn it out leaving you stranded. This boob knows squat about time travel.
Born too late in a world too old.
Will he give out Kentucky Derby winners?
