By Titon, I mean Titor....
Has anyone here heard of the man, or story? A brief explanation:
"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.


One of the first things he did was post pictures of his time machine and its operations manual. As the weeks went by, more and more people began questioning him about why he was here, the physics of time travel and his thoughts about our time. He also posted on other forums including the now non-existent Art Bell site. In his posts John Titor entertained, angered, frightened and even belittled those who engaged him in conversation.


On March 21, 2001, John Titor told us he would be leaving our and returning to 2036. After that, he was never heard from again. Speculation and investigation about who John Titor was and why he was online continues to this day.


Although it may be easy to dismiss all this as science fiction, most people who read his posts agree that there is something very haunting about John Titor and what he said. In addition, and open to more debate, he also made a series of predictions and comments that eerily seem to be coming true.


Unfortunately, I never spoke directly to John Titor but there are many out there who have and continue to wonder about their experience. As you get deeper and deeper into the story, you will find his posts, links to other sites about him, downloads and speculative information attributed to him after he left. I have taken the posts and organized them by date and subject. My editorial work is copyrighted but the unedited posts and the people who experienced it are in the public domain can be found on other sites listed inside.


As you read, please try to keep two things in mind:


1. John appeared to answer nearly every question that was asked of him over the 4-month period he was online. Because of that, many people neglected to read the previous posts and asked similar or exact questions he had already answered. It may offer a glimpse of what a time traveler goes through when having the same conversation again and again.


2. These posts were written before 911, the Discovery accident and the second gulf war. Many people believe John may have known of these events and dropped clues without actually referring to them. It's also widely agreed that he made several predictions about future physics discoveries that have materialized as he stated.


I have included a guest book where you may leave your comments. I will endeavor to respond to any questions you have based on my work.




I hope you enjoy your journey with John Titor."

Discuss. At least check into some of his posts. They're amazing. Believe it or not, if it seems interesting to you, you don't know the half of it. I myself find it all hard to believe, and don't really know that much about it. But the story is amazing and should be published and blown up huge.

He also said there would be a "cold" civil war in the U.S. starting in 2004-2005, and it would stop being cold by 2008.

so far i havent heard about my neighbors being at war yet.

also if he wanted it to sound more beleivable he should have said 2138 or something not 3 decades.

I dont know personaly i dont beleive it but it is fun to look at.

[Quoten]Is the GPS system still in use in 2036?
Oh yes! In fact, the unit I have with me works here. I'm not sure why that surprises me. There are also a great many communications and Internet satellite systems.[/Quoten]



that right there makes me doubtful, global positioning systems are slowly becoming a thing of the past, the new wave in the future is lydar. Also im assuming north american would make a new datum by year 2036 so his hand held would not work in the past since it would be programed for a new datum instead of NAD83 like there using today. Therefore that datum woldent even be made in 2001.

Thats kind of why its interesting to everyone though. Although vague I thought a lot of what he wrote was interesting in the least. If you check the website about all his predictions what you find is actually pretty cool. My favorites are mostely like this.
[Quoten] Who won the Super Bowl in 2001?
(55) Besides, can you tell me if it rained in New York on June 4th 1932? You are from their future so should you know that?

(HOST: Although this isn't exactly a prediction, I thought I thought it was interesting that New York did indeed play in that year's Super Bowl.)[/Quoten]
I also really liked the idea that time traveling was a lot like trying to walk straight through a cone. Its impossible to know exactly where you're going to land because as you go further back, the cone would widen, making it a lot harder to stay in an exact straight line.
