What a fruit loop! If you read enough on that page you would see that the "grandfather paradox is impossible" and how can John Titor have done something in 1975 to change our world? I watch the discovery/learning and science channel all the time and never heard about this guy.

Time does not exist. How ya gonna manipulate something you can't even define? <br /><br />I find it hard to take seriously anyone who really believes that time travel will ever happen. If it was possible, why doesn't someone from the future come to the present and tell us how to do it now?

Silly, it is impossible to travel back in time because in the future, the "Time Travel Border" has been sealed by an act of congress! ;) <br />Do I have to explain everything around here? :p :p :p :) .....JK

Don Henley has a album I think it was put out about five years ago, called inside job. Cut eight comes to mind called (there not here). Sounds appropriate in this case. ;)

Re: Time travel or not John Titor

The guy (Titor) says it's very simple, it is not time travel, it is travel to another Universe. I'm with him, since Bush is so messed up we should just head to an alternate Universe of our own personal choice and be done with it. What could be more simple than that?<br /><br />Man, I sound like a reverse version of the new rodbolt and the new txs . . . It's anti-universe, that's it. Ya know, exactly like aniti-matter only different.

Hey the next time John comes back to the 21st century I'm going to show him this thread of you non-believers! <br />Have you never heard of the String theory?<br />That explaines the "Shadow People" and a whole lot of other stuff.<br />john, John JOHN! Where are you? I could use some back up here! ;) <br /><br />Disclaimer:<br />I did not wake up at 3am to a re-broadcast of Coast to Coast AM! :D :D

I'm not sure I would be so skeptical. Quantum teleportation is now just over the horizon. Who knows what's next.

In all serious, although I cannot articulate it, and don't claim to understand it, the concept of Time Dilation has always suggested to me that time travel is possible.<br /><br /> Time Dilation - Wikipedia

Re: Time travel or not John Titor

If time travel was possible, one could only travel into the future. You could not travel into the past because the time machine did not exist. You could only travel back in time to the date the time machine was develoed. If it were possible to go further back, there would be no way to return. :rolleyes: :eek:

I was ofcourse just goofing around when I posted this.<br />But in all seriousness that was a good read.<br />I saw a show on PBS where they are exploring the string theory.<br />Some think it would or does allow for parallel universes to exist at the same time.<br />Interesting thoughts indeed.

The answers you seek lies within this realm of thought.<br /> Not mind over matter, but how the mind interacts with matter.
