/x/ - Paranormal

Titor's original mission was to meet a certain person in 1975 worldline and to get an IBM 5100 and tweak it for the purpose of translating legacy code. It was supposedly needed to get a number of systems working which still relied on old code. Titor noted that it was worthwhile for a time traveller to be able to do this code translation and that this specific model of computer was needed to do it to the best of their knowledge in 2036.

Titor gave pretty detailed descriptions of the time machine, listing the main components that it was made of and how it worked. Titor wasn't a scientist or an engineer, but knew enough to operate it.

Here's a screencap of one of the postings on the Art Bell forum, which went down and is no longer to be found online except maybe with a thing like the wayback machine.

Thanks to the anon here we have the postings from the Art Bell forum in pdf format

Micro black holes are indeed being discussed at cern, with some even stating that micro black holes could be stable and safe.

Titor moved the device around in a corvette which later got switched out for a truck. Titor's instructor had sat in the corvette with a lit cigar and a laser pointer which showed how the field from the micro singularities affected the beam of light from the laser pointer, prior to Titor going on the mission.

Titor said the photos got scanned with a 2000 era scanner to get them into compatible digital format to post them online.

Here's a Titor uniform patch, I'm not sure if it's real or where it's from, it may have been altered but the part in the center looks pretty authentic to me.

Here are two pretty interesting pages with physics explanations

There was also another site which Titor may have posted on called the time travel institute, but that site has also gone down. That site also had some interesting material related to time travel, real or not, it makes for a good read.

A movie based on the story was going to come out in 2014 but it never did. It turned up results when searched for on imdb about 5 years ago.

Time travel to the past is possible, but it's a one way trip unless that time period has also developed it's own time machines or cryogenics. Scientists in the future are instead able to actively look at and view the past without direct interaction utilizing trace fabric of space-time dimensions. There's absolutely no reason to travel back in time in comparison, it's riskier, costlier, and -ironically- more time consuming and that's only when it comes down to running the machines. Scientists/Historians are able to learn much more efficiently about the past by simply peering in on past events than actually having to visit them, it also ensures past events can't be tampered with, even by accident.

John Titor's "story" is an elaborate hoax and it's obvious based off the causalities given and conflicting information. I personally don't buy into it. It's easy to be vague enough to avoid being wrong yet specific enough to appear right. 2036 is also way too early to assume time travel would be available, but I'd say it's reasonable to assume it would be a couple hundred years away. You'd need to think of other discoveries that would need to be made within that time frame before time travel could happen, like molecular teleportation, controlled space-time distortion, wormholes, etc. I think there's a greater chance of colonizing Mars and finding intelligent life beyond Earth before time travel is a reality.
