Interesting timing of the article, eh?

[LPM1888]

Used to be. They've been undone. If there are still any loose ends, they'll unravel. Tempus fugit.

Not all.

Patrick, is that you?

Here's the link to John Titor, Time Traveler. He said there is a civil war here starting in 2004 (Presidential election). The civil war will escalate in 2011, culminating in nuclear strikes by Russia in 2015. The ME will not attack us with WMD, but each other.

He's from 2036, born in 1998.

Lazar?

"On the other hand, name your favorite person you are sure is really from the future."

Nicola Tesla.

He was a genius, but the course of his life would indicate that he didn't know the future. While he was right about AC transmission, he was wrong about the medium.

"And some we're stuck with, at least for the moment - Grelling's paradox"

== the "Cretan" paradox;
== "Russell's paradox

If "heterological" describes words that do not describe themselves, is "heterological" heterological?

"All Cretans are liars.
I am a Cretan."

Etc.

Certainly nothing new; Kurt Godel used it to good effect.

"On the other hand, name your favorite person you are sure is really from the future."

Charles Babbage.

[PatrickHenry]

Could you elaborate?

No. Top secret.

[Lord_Baltar]

That's assuming YOU sent the Marble...

[RightWingAtheist]

My opinion of Titor?

[general_re]

"This statement is false."

BS!

OK.

This would probably require infinite parallel universes. No?

What if someone were able to travel back in time and destroy mankind? Who would develop the ability to access wormholes?

[Anthem]

It's still available. Not for you, if you're around when the first wormhole is established. But someone other than you, from the future, could jump back here and kill an ancestor. But you'd be "grandfathered in," so to speak.

bump for later

[Anthem]

But in quantum mechanics, they say that there are causeless events.

Isn't there a quantum relationship that is the cause?

(still a rookie).
