John Titor

Ivan

Knowing boards & how everything always appears here at least once before, I'm sure this has been probably been posted here by someone, how fitting then that the subject should be timetravel.

John Titor, you may or may not have heard of him. A guy who in 2000 claimed he was from 2036, on some webforum, he continued to post until 2002, I think.

More info :

If you want more info type John Titor in google or something, there is a multitude of pages out there.

I've yet to find one that discredits him however and am personally rather skeptical about the whole thing, however I cant help but feel a rather nagging feeling at the back of my mind that says "what if he's telling the truth?"

Alot of his explanations for time-travel are pretty plausible and very well described.

The dual rotating singularities is an interesting point that I'm gonna look into more about.

If anyone has some inescapable proof that he is a fraud, I'd love to read it, and sorry for wasting your valuable time. :rolleyes:

Wow, and you did the same thing the second time as well didnt you.

Arent you special, with your observant & intelligent self.

What do you think of it Ivan? It's done really well isn't it? Nearly believable.

Only if you are gulible and impressed by buzzwords - a lot of americans will believe it cos it plays on (to?) thier fears. Thermodynamics mean time travel is probably less likely than Aliens arriving. And lets face it Aliens would have discovered it first and enslaved us back in the stone age... If you can break the rules of thermodynamics then you aren't living in our universe.

Some of the flat earth society explainations make sense as do a lot of the racial stuff - but since the facts they are based on don't exist the whole argument falls apart.

TBH - reminds me of Star Trek Voyager - lets modulate the [big impressive sounding words] beam polarity etc..

I fail to see how conservation of energy applies to this particular application.

Furthermore to say that the "laws" of thermodynamics are completely infallible is just plain arrogant.

Whether he sounds like he is using buzzwords to make his argument seem more likely, alot of his story checks out, from "Kerr Holes" to dual rotating microsingularitys.

But then this could simply be some crazy nutjob doing alot of research and then spotting these facts off with a nice spin that everyone will buy, who knows.

Certainly not me, anyway.

I wont be so quick to totally dismiss the idea.

I would however love to hear from some of the physics type people from boards about how/why exactly his explanations are implausible.
