A Time Traveler's Tale

Product Information

He said one of his tasks was to retrieve an IBM 5100 computer which he said was needed to debug several programs in 2036. Titor also said that for several months he had been trying to warn anyone who would listen about the potential threat of Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease spread through beef products, and about the possibility of an upcoming civil war within the United States. Since the Many Worlds Theory is, according to Titor, accurate, this has implications for Titor's claim to be a time-traveller and how his predictions for our future can be evaluated. If Titor is to be believed we need to accept he is visiting from another closely-related time line with its subtle differences from our own. Consequently we can expect some of his predictions for the future to be false for us, but since according to Titor there is only a two per cent discrepancy between the two timelines, there is a good possibility some of his predictions will be fulfilled. Therefore, as the time approaches for each of his predictions to occur, eventually the probability of Titor’s claim that he is a time traveller will increase either towards being true or towards being false, depending on whether the prediction is fulfilled.

William Taylor claims to have worked for the British government over a decade ago - and said he was sent to the year 8973 in a secret time machine. Genetically modified food will be used to produce hybrid seeds that will have detrimental effects on the population's health.

An Overheating Space Plane

He claims Martin Luther King Jr's grandaughter, Yolanda Renee King, will be president in 2030 - although laws will have to be changed to permit it, as she will only be 21. Scott, Alwyn (September 26, 2007). The nonlinear universe: chaos, emergence, life. Springer. p.121. ISBN 978-3-540-34152-9.

Four years later, the RAF developed and began using the exact planes he claimed he'd seen in his 'time travel experience', and they switched their uniforms from brown to blue. Titor predicted that civil war would break out in the US in 2004, getting steadily worse over the next four years.When the day comes for my ‘prediction’ to be realized it will either happen or not. If it does happen, then your ability to judge your environment is crippled by your acceptance of me as a “knower of all things” and gifted with the ability to tell the future.

While the 2008 Olympics were held in Beijing, China, they didn’t occur without a hitch. During the lead up to the Olympics, Tibetan protests spread throughout Chinese provinces, with calls for independence and the return of the Dalai Lama, as well as a number of boycotts. Many wondered if this would interfere with the Olympics, though they did continue forward. So Barron’s dogs' name is Patton. George S. Patton is an American Military captain who was an instrumental factor in the US’s victory at The Battle of The Bulge during WWII. We know it’s stretch but with all the strange connections so far it’s not too big a leap to take from Bulge to Bulger.

In an issue of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, John Titor is listed in the Deadpool's Guide to Super Villains card set as an alias of Kang the Conqueror. [19] Titor said that he had been selected for this mission because his paternal grandfather was directly involved in the original assembly and programming of the 5100. He attempted to provide proof of this by describing unpublicized features of the 5100, which led some people to believe that a computer scientist must have been behind the postings. [3] In 1932, two German newspaper reporters travelled to the Hamburg-Altona Shipyards to research a story. NASA’s space shuttle program has been shuttered for almost 10 years, now, so perhaps it’s not so unusual for Titor to refer to it as a “space plane.” From his point of view, the program would’ve perhaps been a forgotten footnote in history, something he didn’t remember much about. Future Tech and the Internet Image: Joshua Sortino/Unsplash He said America would split into five different regions and predicted that World War III would break out as a result, ending in 2015.

But again, we must remember that these aren’t necessarily “predictions.” They’re statements made from the point of view of an alleged time traveler, one who often spoke of worldline divergence, and never seemed to tell the full story. These are, then, alleged reflections of an individual’s past that were never guaranteed to become our future. As a result of the many conflicts, no, there were no official Olympics after 2004. However, it appears they may be revived in 2040.”– January 29, 2001 The more time that passes, the fewer people who believe Titor ever really was a time traveler. And yet, some of his statements from 2000 to 2001 were eerily prescient.

Before we go any further you must know it is not easy sleeping when you constantly question if your reality is real. We are sorry if this keeps you up at night and thank you for reading. Oh, and get your tinfoil hats ready, we'll let you know when to put them on. Although I do have personal reasons for being here and speaking with you, the most I could hope for is that you recognize the possibility of time travel as a reality. You are able to change your worldline for better or worse just as I am.”– February 2, 2001, Post2Post Art Bell Forum Now, as in any good story, there needs to be an explanation. Something ‘real’ that grounds the narrative in a world with rules an laws. Even the best shitposts do this because just making shit up only entertains for so long before narrative the runs its course. Well, in this story, that figure is none other than Pepe The Frog. Titor said that he was on a stopover in the year 2000 for "personal reasons": [3] to collect pictures lost in the (future) civil war, and to visit his family, of whom he spoke often. At the moment, none of this can be verified, but our current path of physics may surprise us, and the Many-worlds interpretation is considered a legitimate possibility.
