Anyone heard of timetraveller John Titor?

[dragonfly]

i remember in my early days with the internet and trying to use this medium, that i can accross a very fascinating story about a timetreveller named John Titor, and how the claims were that he had arrived from some suppossed future to pay us a visit. Anyways, what i was curious to know is if anyone has heard of him also? And if anyone has heard news about this being a hoax or not?

Could be since i first heard of "timetraveller Titor" in 2003/04.....!!

Peaceful thoughts; from Dragonfly :-)

I was under the impression many of his key predictions had failed to come to pass and that the whole ordeal had been laid to rest as a hoax long ago.

[whitenight639]

but if he was from the future and his predictions were wrong it would prove there is no set path for everyone and there are infact infinte dimensions!

[cowboy]

Yeah. I've heard of him, used to read all his shit. Thought it was a hoax then, think it is now. Who knows though.

[adzboarder]

It was interesting I thought, but as I want to be able to travel through time myself so bad it was definitely exciting reading.

You can read all the posts he supposedley made right here:

Would be so cool to time-travel back to the lawn of the Pentagon on a certain sunny morning in September a few years back. Catch footage myself of the vanishing plane and zip back to 2007 to expose them for the rascals they are!

[auron]

Yeah, i remember reading about him a few years ago. :D

[earthseed]

I recall the project called Titor saying 2012 is nothing don't look into it. Oh and the world will be so much better after WW3. Hmm okay Military Intelligence thanks.

John titor,
With ghostbuster technology,
The future is only 10 years infront,
Look at the UFOs
of the 60's
They are 70's technology,
Lava lamps,
and Aliens with sideburns,

HeHeHe
:eek:

[freedomnonfighter]

Yeah I read all about 'him' and everything 'he' said and all 'his' pictures back in high school. I found it very interesting and intriguing then.
I never came to any conclusions then, I was just fascinated by the ideas and fantasies projected from the story.

Basically none of his predictions have come true. I remember it was suggested his whole plot came from the book Alas, Babylon
(which is funny because that's the book I was assigned to read for school at the time I was reading about John Titor...)

I agree with earthseed, sounds like our best friend at work.

this link is more comprehensive. I think you should keep an open mind on whether or not Titor was for real. For sure. How will you look back on it after the next Problem; Reaction; Solution? Where will you say the problem started?

Q: Will the Solution involve the implementation of martial law?

Q: Will we be able to see much more clearly after this happens?

Q: Will we say that the struggle was happening before the war?

A: What do you think?

Quite interresting.

Although there is debate over the exact date it started, on November 02, 2000, a person calling themselves Timetravel_0, and later John Titor, started posting on a public forum that he was a time traveler from the year 2036.

And I really like all the scientific data on his site. Seems quite accurate. To call "themselves" Timetravel_0 makes quite alot of sense to be honest :) I hope I can look more into this later. I wonder if I can get in contact with this person. Could he be a source of cyborg technology like in T1 and T2? One thing I dont get is how they got to have cyberkinetics technology already.

Then again, I guess it could just be that the most innovative and powerfull research discoveries are simply kept secret.

Everyone can Time Travel! You do it in your Head- you only need to THINK yourself into the Past and where are you? IN THE PAST!

Think yourself into the FUTURE and where do you end up? In hospital with a stress related illness.

The Past and the Future do not exist- the only thing that exists is this current moment and this moment alone. Always. Infinitely.

'Time' travel could actually be 'dimension travelling' though... i'm not impartial to slipping between different dimensions and BELIEVING you have travelled in time.

[kblood]

I have actually changed the flow of time so many times by now, that you can believe what you will, for my belief doesnt require you to believe in them ;)

I once pulled a spirit angry spirit that had been raped and killed out of a the mirror world, and gave her a different past which therefore also changed the future. All the people around us of course got quite surprised to see that she was suddenly back amongst the living, after reading and hearing about her murder. I had sent her back in time and told her to sign up in the army. So it ended up as if she had just taken a sabbath year from school. Her old class mates had just finished last year, but still heard about her being back :) One of the funnier moments. I hope it teached those who let it happen have a good scare. Now she is working for the police :) And she is a he as well, which is a bit confusing. I guess she wont let males dominate her life ever again.

I got plenty of stories like this. The police have been quite frustrated having someone like me around, but they have come to realise that they just cant make all their crime reports complete, without adding stuff that is commonly believed as impossible :rolleyes:

Still, with all the things I run around doing, people still wont believe it. They might even see it for themselves, and they end up suppressing their memories of it. They even made a movie about this episode, but then, they left out the most miraculous parts of the story and made it a spooky movie :p

I guess I cant prove time travel is possible, but it is just as difficult as proving ghosts. I have seen them all my life and everyone else cant see them simply because they dont want to see them. Seeing a ghost is simply something people dont want to. I guess it does take some near death experience to be able to see ghosts, but then I have had more than just "near" death experiences.

So... when all comes down to it, time travel is so very possible, just not easy to comprehend by our minds. And all that we can do can be done by machines as well, with the right coding.

[kblood]

Hmmm... this 5100 IBM computer mentioned on John Titors site is interesting. Legacy code and legacy programs? Is the code I know about the same as this one? Would be nice to know. The extra features of the 5100 could then be quite nice. Like being able to hack just about anything, without needing much CPU power.

This makes no sense.

1. How do you change the past of someone who's in spirit? Wouldn't have to change the event whilst still in the body?

2. If you had changed the event then to her friends and family she wouldn't have died and therefore it would be like the event didn't exist, thus no surprise of her rising from the grave.

As for John Titor, it gave me a good chuckle.:) They seem to have updated the site because I remember last time I looked years ago he had what looked like a time travelling Ford Cortina or something, with his Flux Capacitor in the back. :D

[QUOTE=neutron flux;103592]This makes no sense.

1. How do you change the past of someone who's in spirit? Wouldn't have to change the event whilst still in the body?

That is why I had to change the event so that she returned to her body further back in time. Around the time when she was killed, so that she could have another timeline, somewhere else. Not near her family and those that knew her before.

2. If you had changed the event then to her friends and family she wouldn't have died and therefore it would be like the event didn't exist, thus no surprise of her rising from the grave.

Which is why she had to join the military right after ressurection and go to foreign countries for a year. Otherwise she would be interfering with existing timelines around her past. Cant change something that far back unless it doesnt interfere with the past she already had made in spirit form. Like avenging her death in her own way.

what is this mirror world you speak of? you sound like an interesting person with some interesting stories to tell.

[kblood]

Well... I think it is one of the dimensions, the mirror world. Many stories about mirrors and ghosts. Of course there are the way vampires in the movies cant be seen in mirrors. I think that is to say that the mirror shows how the vampires doesnt have any soul. In a symbolic way anyway.

This is one of the things I didnt remember untill I came to think about it again. To me these things seems to happen quite instinctively, as if it is something I am meant to do. Every seen the series supernatural? Sometimes I can identify with some of the things that happens in that series, with experiences I have had myself. I have even come to remember that I have seen ghosts since I was a kid as well. I even knew what they were. I was going to the hospital because my brother needed a checkup I think. There was a boy there who seemed a bit lonely, so I played with him, and began telling him about death was not really the end, for all I knew. His mother came and got a bit upset that I would tell him something like that. We had played together quite well, and agreed to see each other again. I dont remember how long it went, but next time I came, I saw him again. We talked a bit, but he didnt seem the way he used to. I tried throwing a ball at him, and it went right through him. I told him he wasnt fun to play with anymore and that he probably ought to go away. Then I went to my mother and whispered to her that I think he was in fact dead. Back then I dont think I had realised that others couldnt see him. I did overhear others wondering what was wrong with me though, but didnt think much about it. Seems I knew that he was going to die the first time I met him.

Sorry for changing the subject a bit. I hope we can get back to chat about the time traveller again.

[thirdwave]

did anyone ask him what he was doing when he was alive in the year he was posting on the forums? ... there for the real person could have been tracked down to see if he was alive...... and doing what he told us he would be doing?

[moonoodoo]

If they are clever enough to figure time travel, how come they can't solve the UNIX date issue, which is only a case of going to a bigger integer. Or write an emulator... or just use some old Linux disk off a frosties packet for that matter, that's if kelloggs do one by then of course, but there are other sources.

Perhaps open source software does not figure on his timeline, in which case he had a bloomin cheek for blaming these days for his woes (although I can see his point).

Also, if born in 1999 it makes him 8 years old at this moment, which means he is likely to be one of those spoilt brats that.... sorry I am starting to rant.

Time travel is just one of those subjects that seams to have more questions than answers, so it's no wonder we hear little of time travellers as they would be constantly hounded for answers.

I quite dislike time travel as I find it has right brain ideas and left brain questions and very little in the way of answers.

But you said:

That would denote the same timeline, wouldn't it?

How did you tell her to join the military, wouldn't she have no recollection of her death, thus not meeting you in the "mirror world" and doing all this timeline manipulation and you telling her in the spirit world to join the Army?

It still makes no sense.

You will probably not get a reasonable answer for that one neutron... I think that time travel is not possible in the back to the future sense because time is a made up thing... Like watches clocks etc. these are human inventions .. they didnt exist until humans were here on the planet... or did dinosaurs have watches? So really if someone had the intelligence to travel through a dimension... they wouldnt call it timetravel theyd call it something else bcuz theyd be smart enuff to realise there is no time!
