Editing John Titor A time Travelers Tale (section)

=56 = 


Actually, there are 2 singularities in the unit. The gravity field is 
manipulated by three factors that affect it in distinct ways. Adding 
clectric charge to the singularities increases the diameter of the inner 
event horizons. Adding mass to the singularities increases the area of 
gravitational influence around the singularities. Rotating and 
positioning the polar axis of the singularities affects and alters the 
gravity sinusoid. 


The effects of the gravity produced by the unit do not have enough time 
lo significantly alter physical objects within a reasonable distance from 
the outside of the sinusoid. No, things do not get smaller. 


Q: If the electron injection system changes the shape of the field, 
would that not force the unit to accelerate through space? 


There is no relative movement in space due to three main factors. 
Large, kinetic energy inducing effects of the gravity field are 
compensated for by the interaction of the singularities. The observed 
path of the traveler is obtained by changing the gravity, not by moving 
the vehicle. The black hole comes to you. 


Q: Define "time". 

To me, time has two definitions. I see time as a mathematical 
component of a 10 dimensional super universe. It is a variable I use to 
define my location and existence. 

I also see time as a metaphysical compromise our senses use to define 


the area of collective existence God has placed us in. When I can 
measure and sense time, I know I am not with God.

Q: I know you have a hidden agenda. You have not made clear 
your motives and are only giving us very little proof. Why are you 
holding back? 


Rest assured there is nothing I have planned in my “hidden agenda” 
that will make anyone’s life any worse than it already might be. 


Q: Do you do a lot of work in the background of our society? 
Admit it. 


S57. 


I plan to leave soon. There is nothing I can do here that will affect my 
home. My goals are based on the love I have for my family. 


Actually, my interest in the past is a result of going through piles of 
half burned books and magazines left over from a war started by people 
you share this planet with right now. On that note, perhaps it’s more 
interesting to consider what I won’t be doing to try and stop that war. 


Q: Do you believe in God? Which one? Do you think ends justify 
the means? Don't you have people regulating Time Travel? 


How many Gods are there? I believe in just one. What are your 
suggestions for regulating time? Perhaps a list of your “time rights” 
would be something to spark conversation on the board. 


Q: You are a cheater. Why can’t your time fend for itself? You 
take the solution from us and threaten to change billions of lives 
here. Why don’t you care about that? 


rm just guessing that “cheater of life” is not a compliment. I can’t 
think of a reason why my actions would be immoral and someone 
else’s would not. You suggest I’m capable of changing lives. I suggest 
that I’m no more capable of that than you are. 


Pm Just not so sure you recognize your own potential. You don’t need 
a time machine to save or destroy people. If there was another person 
doing the exact same things I was but they didn’t have a time machine 
would they be putting billions of lives at stake and suffer your 
judgment? 


Q: Is there any such thing as wrong for you? 


Yes, I believe in wrong and right. I judge my actions based on God’s 
law. Is it wrong for me to murder? Yes, it is. Is it wrong for me to teach 
someone how to defend himself and they commit murder? No, I am not 
their keeper. Since I am leaving, I will be incapable of causing any 
harm. But, what damage will you do with anything I have said? 


January 17, 2001 


In the future, sociologists spend a great of time discussing the 
collective mentality before the war that led to the demise of “Homo 


Materia”. Many of them point to an experiment that was d : 
1970’s or 1980’s. P one in the 


- 58 - 


‘The experiment isolated various sizes of rat populations in varying cage 
sizes with varying food and cleaning schedules. It was discovered that 
no matter what, there was a certain ratio of rats to space that once 
overtaken by population would always lead to aggressive and 
destructive behavior in the rats until enough of them had died or been 
killed to get back under the ratio. This was true even when the rats that 
were given plenty of food and had their cage cleaned every day. 


Besides the occasional school or office shooting and violent video 
game, I can’t help but think about that experiment every time I see 
someone stranded on the highway or walking on the side of the road 
carrying an empty gas can. I ask my parents why we don’t stop and 
help and they tell me the possible consequences of helping someone 
they don’t know. I would respond by pointing out that it’s our duty to 
help, not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because we can 
never know that person’s true worth and the risk of losing them is too 
preat. 


| didn’t fully understand their stubbornness until I saw a news story 
about a doctor who was sued for applying emergency first aid to an 
accident victim who died. I believe your society is biologically geared 
for self-destruction. However, I feel strongly that does not excuse me 
from my responsibilities as a temporary member of this community. 


This event actually happened as we drove down the highway with John 
one day. We passed a man and woman with a child who had a flat tire 
and John was insistent we stop. We explained they could easily walk to 
a phone for help and we put ourselves in danger by stopping but John 
was not deterred. When we arrived home, John and his father went 
back and did help them. j 


Although (name of poster on forum) is a bit quirky and eccentric, he 
does belong to us. Although he can be aggravating, I can’t help but 
feel protective of him. As I’m sure most of us believe, under all of his 
posts, he has some interesting things to say. When I first read one of his 
postings, I shook my head and questioned my own understanding of the 
English language. If it’s done on purpose, it’s quite effective. 


January 26, 2001 


Greetings, everyone. I’ve been away for a while so I apologize for not 
getting back to these questions sooner. 


- 59 - 


Q: Why are you interested in the Constitution? 


After the war, the United States had split into five separate regions 
based on the various factors and military objectives they each had. 
There was a great deal of anger directed toward the Federal government 
and a revival of states rights was becoming paramount, However, in 
their attempt to create an economic form of government, the political 
and military leaders decided to hold one last Constitutional Congress in 
order to present a psychological cohesion with the old system. 


During this Congress, the leaders discovered and decided that coming 
up with a new and better form of government was nearly impossible. 
The original Constitution itself was not the problem; it was the 
ignorance of the people that lived under it. 


Q: Don’t you like your "new" Constitution? 


From my viewpoint, it’s very effective. I am a very strong believer in 
the rights of local and state governments. 


Q: When are you leaving? 


There are certain windows I must wait for in order to leave. There will 
be two this year. The first one opens this spring. 


Q: Is it possible for you to return to this time once you leave? 
Not with the machine I have now. 


Q: If we all had time machines, would we end up destroying the 
rest of the world lines? 


Since everything is already happening and possible on different world 
lines, the answer is yes, and no. 


Q: You appear to be a Libertarian who stresses getting back to 
basics. You also seem to be a gun rights activist. 


I suppose that’s a fair assessment. I would call myself more of a 
centrist. Although I understand the “gun rights” issue here, I cannot 
relate to it all and it’s a common point of argument with my mother. 


I believe handguns should be illegal and I have not changed my view 
on that one bit since John left. 


- 60 - 


| keep saying her tune will change in about ten years and she’ll be 
cleaning shotguns in her sleep but it doesn’t help. If it makes you feel 
any better, I never shot anyone who wasn’t trying to kill me. 


Q: Since we’re not very smart can you help us solve the technical 
problems of time travel? 


When you say “us”, what do you mean? Do you mean “you”? Where 
would you go if you had my machine? How do you think the rest of 
the world would react to the U.S. having a time machine and they 
didn’t? 


Q: You stated you went back in time from 2036 to 1975 with a near 
2 percent divergence. You also said that a zero divergence is a 
myth or technologically improbable. 


Yes, a “ZD” is thought to be impossible. However, consider that an 
exact entry point “may” not be necessary to get home. The important 
factor is the path, not the destination. Under multiple world theory, 
there are an infinite number of “homes” that I could return to that don’t 
have me there. The divergence for that window is somewhere near 
.0002377%. 


Q: Are parallel universes created by events in our own world line? 


Parallel universes exist independently of each other and only interact to 
avoid the collapse of the wave function for any given particle or event 
that you are looking at. 


I like to imagine it as a series of parallel lines crossed by a wavy line. 
Each point on the wavy line where a straight line crosses it represents 
an alternate outcome. The multiple “yous” on each world line record a 
different result for the activity of the particle. 


Q: Multiple World Theory and parallel universes have never been 
proven. It exists as a way to explain findings in quantum 
mechanics. Just because people talk about it doesn’t mean it’s real. 


I agree with you that an explanation doesn’t make it so. However you 
can build a model to describe physical behavior. Even if the model is 
not complete, its “truth” can be measured by how well it predicts the 
behavior it describes. 


Q: Where did the idea of the multiverse come from? Where is the 
evidence of its existence? 


I believe the closest non-related evidence for multiple universes right 
now comes from the physics (derived from special relativity) of 


rotating (Kerr) black holes. If you examine a typical Penrose map, | 


science agrees that you can travel to “other universes” through these 
cosmic oddities. They can’t be different places in your own universe 


(world line) because you would have to violate the speed of light limit 
to get there. 


Since the existence of multiple universes is a reality from my 
viewpoint, please allow me to disclose an idea we toss around a bit in 
2036. Since all possibilities, outcomes and events are occurring and 
exist simultaneously; it would mean there are multiple universes out 
there where “you” are living a day behind and a day ahead of the “you” 
on this universe. 


There are some who believe that memory is some sort of information 
transfer or communication with the “yous” in the past, across world 
lines or universes. Although this is seemingly quite ridiculous, if you 
think that could be true, than physics tells us that the same information 
transfer from our future selves on other world lines is not only possible 
but also certain. Could it be that fantasy or “what if’ scenarios are 
actually future memory from an alternate “us” on a future world line? 


According to physics, there is no reason why this cannot be true. 


Q: Your mission to go back in time seems rather pointless since you 
stated earlier there is no way to get back to your exact Starting 
point. 


The reality of infinite possibilities is rather difficult to get a grip on and 
if it were not for the math, I would delegate it to the realm of religion. I 
like to think of it as standing in a room with mirrors on all the walls. I 
can look to my right and left and see many “mes” all doing exactly the 
same thing. If we all took a step to our right and passed through a 
dimensional doorway to the next mirrored room, it would be very 
difficult to tell if anything had changed. In that sense, there are an 
infinite number of world lines waiting for me to return with the 
computer. If I can get to one of them, I have completed my mission. 


60.5 


(: Another time traveler that looks like you could arrive on your 
world line of origin with another IBM computer and no one would 
know the difference? 


Bingo!! Seems like something they would do a lot of psychological 
(esting for before they sent us off. 


January 28, 2001 
Q: You never showed us a picture of your uniform. 


Actually, there are numerous places I have posted pictures. I believe the 
links are still on the board. 


Q: Why haven’t you commented on not caring about your original 
world line? 


I’m not sure what you’re asking. I think those statements speak for 
themselves and your interpretation of them may be unique. 


One of the reasons I like this board is because the questions are mone 
thought out, the people seem to be a bit smarter than normal and I m 
not continually bombarded with questions about stock tips. I will admit 
that on a conceptual level, you are picking it up much faster than I did. 


Q: If you leave your world line, your friends and family members 
will never see you again. That seems like a very immoral thing to 


do. 


I’m not sure why you think it would be immoral. Don’t soldiers today 
go on duties they may not return from? 


It depends on how you define what the real “me” is. If you consider the 
mirror example again, as all of the “mes” step one room to the right, the 
family and friends in that room (and the time traveler for that matter) 
would not be able to tell the difference. 


The probability of us noticing a difference is based on the. divergence 
of the trip. If all events and outcomes are certain, there are world lines 
where I do return for every world line I don’t. All the “moral” events 
would then balance out to zero. Again, it’s hard to judge good and bad 
outcomes, only good and bad decisions. 


Sere 


Q: What’s the point of fixing something in one world line if there's 
an infinite number of world lines where the problem doesn't exist? 


Our actions and decisions are based on the knowledge we have in our 
own world line. Yes, the bell-shaped curve is a useful tool but if we are 
capable of change for the better then we feel we should at least try. 
Even if “I” don’t return to my exact world line, a similar “me” probably 
will. Besides, I just look at it as helping a world line where their time 
traveling me didn’t show up but I did. 


Q: Earlier you said the people on your world line would only 
experience your being away for a second. How can this be true if 
you’ll never return to that world line? 


Again, I refer to the mirror example. 


Q: It seems impossible that another you would return to the world 
line you originally came from. 


I’m not sure I said another time traveler “will” return, I think I said they 
“could” return. The location/gravity “map” I have of my path getting 
here could be duplicated with a fairly high degree of accuracy. It’s just 
that my machine was not designed to do that. 


I think it’s a mistake to rely on the concept of the impossible when 
dealing with the reality of multiple worlds. Keep in mind there are an 
infinite number of “yous” on infinite world lines having completely 
different experiences with “me”. 


Q: You stated that returning to your world line of origin is 
impossible. 


My initial flight was from 2036 to 1975 (61 yrs). I then went from 1975 
to 2000 (25 yrs). Later this year, one of two favorable windows will 
open and I will return to my 2036 (35 yrs.) I am here now for personal 
reasons. The web page is not mine. I have been speaking online for 
about three months and the page is a collection of the various 
documents and pictures I have sent to other individuals. 


Actually, John’s trip from 1975 was to 1998, not 2000. 


Also, I realize there is no way for anyone to believe me with absolute 
certainty so I hope I'm at least entertaining. 


- 64- 


You may be interested to know that even in 2036, there are a large 
iumber of people who don’t believe in time travel. Are you sure the 
world is round? 


January 29, 2001 


Please keep in mind the web site is not mine and I apologize for the 
poor quality of the files. The photo you saw was taken by me with a 
Polaroid camera manufactured here. The other documents were 
duplicated by placing a book onto a copy machine at a packaging and 
shipping store and then scanning and saving them. 


As for the printing technology in 2036, you may be surprised at how 
many people use typewriters; however, I agree the documents were 
probably not created that way. 


1, too am very anxious to hear your thoughts and questions on time 
travel / gravity displacement and any comments on the Everett Wheeler 
Graham model. 


Although the documents posted were printed from a computer printer, 
is it really that hard to believe that manual typing is just a bit more 
common in thirty years? After the war, many things like manual 
printing machines, bicycles, sailboats and hand tools were valued a 
great deal. I have noticed more people in California are installing wood 
burning stoves. 


| realize my claims are a bit ridiculous but my intent is not really to be 
believed. However, if I had an opportunity to talk to a time traveler, I 
might ask questions like: How exactly does the singularity sensor 
measure the expansion of the inner event horizon or why does the 
reality of multiple worlds support the religious dogma that there are no 
good or bad people just good and bad decisions or what were the 
political motivations that changed the U.S. Constitution? 


In my experience, when it becomes necessary to convince someone 
what I do for a living the only way to do that is to be related to them. 
Everything else is immediately written off as a parlor trick, even if 
they’re standing in front of a cooling distortion unit and I show them a 
dollar bill from the year 2029. 


In the last few months, I have had numerous extended conversations 


online and there are quite a few things I’ve said which can easily be 
checked but haven’t. 


E652 


I get no pleasure out of being right when it comes to CJD disease, war 
in the Middle East or suffering people in far away lands. There’s 
nothing like the look on someone’s face when you tell them 100,000 
people will be dead tomorrow. 


In my travels, I have discovered that most people really don’t want to 
know about the future because if it’s different than what they want, it 
ticks them off. Actually, I don’t blame them. 


The means by which I travel in time is very physical. I require a 
“machine” to do it. It weighs about 500 pounds and gets quite hot. I do 
not own it and I did not build it. Within limits, I will be happy to 
discuss how it works and how “future” science thinks time works. No, 
we have. not completed string theory yet but (N-10) seems to work 
pretty well. 


As far as the future goes, your world line is about 2.5% different than 
mine. This is a roughly cumulative measurement based on my arrival in 
1975. As far as I can tell right now, you are headed toward the same 
events I would call “my history” in 2036. However, the very nature of 
time travel states that every world line is unique and you are very much 
in control of what you do and how you get there. Heck, the fact that I’m 
here makes it different from mine. 


I have nothing to sell, and there is nothing I want anyone to do. For all 
you other time travelers out there, I have no tests for you and I would 
enjoy discussing your feelings and experiences after the war. To 
everyone else, while I’m here, I am very interested in your philosophy, 
religious outlooks and speculations on technology. 


Q: Are the Olympics still played in the 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. 


Q: Why wouldn’t it be possible to use a recording to go back to 
your original starting point without any divergence at all? 


Perhaps it’s better to say it’s so highly improbable as to be considered 
impossible. A good example is the concept of trying to get closer to 
something by cutting the distance in half for every step you take. Since 
the computer is basically making calculations from an imperfect model 
of reality, there are no absolutes. I also believe there is a theory that 
states you would have to violate the speed of light limit to have a 
perfect ZD. 


- 66 - 


(): Why are there only two windows of opportunity for you to go 
back? Does this have anything to do with the weather? 


The weather isn’t a factor as much as gravitational tidal forces at the 
point of arrival. 


Q: I disapprove of war because I think it's immoral. What do you 
think? 


| disapprove of murder. Man as a species is incapable of changing his 
nature through will alone and war is a tool of biology. The ability for 
war sleeps in each one of us and we must decide what we will do 
before the beast awakens. As for morality, again I point to the 
“universal” balance of good and evil. For every world line where there 
is peace, there is a world line that has destroyed itself. 


Q: What's the use of bringing back the computer to a slightly 
different world line since you know there are just as many world 
lines in which no one returns to bring back the computer? 


The decisions and actions we take as individuals can only help those 
who we have direct interaction with. I believe it is wrong to be capable 
of helping and do nothing. My struggle is in the irony that if everyone 
just “did nothing”, on every world line, there would be no action and 
thus no immorality or evil (no good either). 


Q: I'm very interested in your comments on the greed of humanity. 
Please feel free to ask anything you like. 
Q: Can you record a voice message for us before you leave? 


Yes. I am considering trying to videotape my departure and having my 
parents post it after I leave. That should keep you all busy for a while. 


Q: What sort of future do you imagine after 2036? Will we colonize 
the solar system? 


Keep in mind that not all humans were destroyed but we were all 
affected. There is an effort going into colonizing space because it is 
believed that the problems of overpopulation were a large cause of the 
war. 


6] < 


Personally, my generation sees itself as having a duty to try and repair 
the mess our fathers handed to us. When we were young, most of us 
had a small taste of the world you live in now and our only dream is to 
clean it up and give it back to those still able to have children. 


Sometimes I imagine what it would be like to approach the Wright 
Brothers in 1910, before their first flight, and make the suggestion that 
in a mere thirty years, man would be on the brink of flying through the 
air at the speed of sound. 


I don’t know why John got this date incorrect, Perhaps on his world 
line, the first flight of the Wright Brothers was not the same date as we 
know it. 


What tools would I be able to show them that would convince them? 
Would a picture of a jet airplane do it? Would complicated math and 
physics equations do it? Would it take a ride? Perhaps there will be a 
way to share the photos again but I don’t expect it would convince 
anyone. I would only hope they would spark conversation and make the 
reality of time travel a little more personal. 


Although I have no personal experience with non-mechanical time 
travel, I cannot discount it. Physics has a way of making the impossible 
a reality. 


I’m not here to study anyone. My objective was in 1975 and the reason 
I’m here now is my family. I find my preconceptions of what I would 
encounter interesting. Being exposed to a society through its art, music 
and advertising is one thing and experiencing it is another. 


I’m not sure the physics of time travel is really that hard to grasp. Most 
of the working theory has been around on a large scale since 1970 and 
the technical breakthroughs are happening on your world line right 
now. 


Technology is not gone in 2036 nor is it the private domain of 
“government” leaders. Computer printers just didn’t work very well on 
12 volts and many people just got used to doing things the old way. 
After the war, the main problem was distribution. Can anyone tell me 
how many companies in the United States still manufacture bicycle 
tires today? Anyone who still has a bike in 2008 will find out. 


- 68 - 


January 31, 2001 


|'m not aware of any specific predictions I made or perhaps we do not 
gree on the definition. What anyone chooses to do based on something 
| might say will not affect me in the least. 


My goal is not to be believed and I submit that your life would not be 
ny better (and perhaps worse) if you did believe me. You placed 
“tests” before me that I must pass. Why? What do I have to gain by 
passing them? 


The fact is there is nothing I can say or show you or let you drop 
hydrochloric acid on that will “make” you believe me and I really don’t 
want that. 


|t would be nice to discuss your views on religion, politics, physics and 
the mechanical requirements of time travel but in order to engage in 
(hose types of conversations, I must apparently tell you who wins the 
hockey game next week. I’m just guessing that if I were to write out the 
(en lines for Fermat’s final proof you wouldn’t be very impressed 
cither. 


(1) Industrialized mass production does not produce the uncountable 
tonnage of useless consumer items so gleefully absorbed by your 
society. I would estimate there are about 10 units like mine (C204) and 
(wenty larger units (C206). The main difference is the sensitivity and 
number of main Cesium clocks. I would estimate that some sort of 
public time travel will be common around 2045. 


(2) I’m not aware of any other time travelers “here” now. But if they 
are here, I’m sure they’re pouring over sports history books so they can 
go back in time another week and start a friendly conversation on the 
web. 


(3) The “Mad Cow” story here is yet to begin but don’t worry, the 
fruited gelatin desserts are safe. 


(4) I’m glad to see it’s so easy for you to dismiss the Middle East. Yes, 
I suppose it is a no brainer but pretty soon it will be a “no armer” and a 
“no legger”. 


Ethics is an excellent topic of discussion and I hope we can move past a 
collective insistence of applying everything to this frame of reference. 


The distortion unit reaches its target destination by using very sensitive 
gravity sensors and atomic clocks. The basic unit of calculation is the 
second. So yes, in a sense you do “dial in” in a date and the computer 
system controls the distortion field. At maximum power, the unit I have 
is capable of traveling about 10 years an hour. 


Unfortunately, time travel is not an exact science. There is inherent 
error and chaos in the computer’s ability to make accurate calculations. 
Based on the current technology of the clocks and sensors, distortion 
units are only accurate to about 60 years or so. So no, in 2036, we are 
unable to travel back 1000 years due to the error rate in the system. 


The divergence between the world line of origin and the target world 
line would be too great. If one were to try and travel back that far, 
history would look nothing like what you would expect. The unit has 
mass limits but the 204 is capable of transporting about three people 
and equipment. I don’t think you would like 2036 very much. 


The 5100 had a very simple and unique feature that IBM did not 
account for and decided it was not in their best interest to advertise 
(which in hindsight was not very smart). This accidental feature was 
thus removed from any future desktop computers. In order to take 
advantage of this feature, the 5100 I have now required a couple of 
special “tweaks” that had to be done by one of the software engineers 
in 1975. Anyone who is familiar with this feature and was told to keep 
their mouth shut about it will be able to tell you what it is. 


I have noticed and gotten used to the act of verbal conflict as a cathartic 
entertainment. I don’t totally understand it but I take no offense by it 
either. Perhaps we could just arm wrestle some day and still be able to 
have a pleasant conversation. 


The year 2008 was a general date by which time everyone will realize 
the world they thought they were living in was over. The civil war in 
the United States will start in 2004. I would describe it as having a 
Waco type event every month that steadily gets worse. The conflict will 
consume everyone in the US by 2012 and end in 2015 with a very short 
WWII. 


The source of power for the C204 that allows it to distort and 
manipulate gravity comes from two microsingularities that were 
created, captured and cleaned at a much larger and “circular” facility. 
The dual event horizons of each one and their mass is manipulated by 
injecting electrons onto the surface of their respective ergospheres. 


ETO 2 


The electricity comes from batteries. The breakthrough that will allow 
lor this technology will occur within a year or so when CERN brings 
their larger facility online. 


Perhaps it would have been clearer to state that the math has been 
around since 1970. I would urge you to examine the properties of Kerr 
black holes and Tipler cylinders. 


An actual working prototype was first tested in 2034. On my world 
line, time travel is not a public recreation but we are all aware that it 
exists. You may be disappointed to know that the ability to manipulate 
gravity is not the technical challenge that had to be overcome. 


Miniaturizing the clocks and sensors, creating clever ways to vent x- 
rays and creating a computer system dependable enough to calculate 
the changes required to the field were the main challenges. ‘There are 
no missing pieces, just missing energy levels and a few very interesting 
subatomic particles.

Q: What horse won a (famous) race? 


Unfortunately, winners of sports events in the past are not high on the 
priority list in 2036. As a thought experiment, if I told you who the 
winning horse was and you killed it before the final race, would that 
make me a liar or would it support my statement that our world lines 
are about 2% different? Do you know who won that race 30 years ago? 


The people who sign my paycheck told me why we needed a 5100 and 
sent me off to get one. I was not in a position to make suggestions 
about the mission. As I recall, isn’t the Cray a rather large system? We 
need something portable. The 5100 isn’t required for its reliability, it’s 
needed to translate between APL, UNIX and a few obscure IBM 
mainframe languages.

Yes, I age and my hair and nails grow at normal rates. Please keep in 
mind that gravity distortion involves some dilation effects but 
“jumping” between world lines are time-like trips, not space-like trips. 


Unfortunately, I don't know if we're acquainted on my world line. Yes, 
love is a challenge. What’s harder is knowing you could go back and 
correct a mistake but at the cost of the “you” on that world line. 


The questions about the president and space travel are reasonable but 
now we come to a conflict between physics and ethics. First, the ethics: 


I have seen a television program about a man who is able to speak with 
the dead. When I watch the show, I am more afraid about the 
possibility that what he is doing is real not whether or not he is doing it. 
Since I will be leaving this world line soon, I could easily tell you that 
the President lives or dies in the next four years. In fact, I could 
probably find some way to even charge you for it. 


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”.

If | am wrong, then everything I have said that might possibly have 
made you think about your world in a different way is suddenly 
discredited. I do not want either. 


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 
lime travel as a reality. You are able to change your world line for 
better or worse just as I am. 


Therefore, any “prediction” I might make has a slight chance of being 
incorrect anyway and you now have the ability to act on it based on 
what I’ve said. Can you stop the war before it gets here? Sure. Will you 
do it? Probably not. 


As far as space travel goes, no, we are not on Mars yet but we’re trying 
very hard so we can avoid another “Hell’s Kitchen” outcome from an 
overpopulated Earth 


Perhaps it would be better if you just considered me a fraud. I really 
don’t have a problem with that. If that were the case, could we then 
have discussions that you were comfortable with? 


Q: If I knew someone was going to die, and I could stop it, I have a 
moral obligation to do something about it. Can you give me any 
examples where this isn’t true? 


| can think of a couple of examples. 


If the Egyptians knew the Red Sea was going to drown them, do you 
think they would have pursued Moses? 


If you could go back in time to 1941 and tell the radar operators (at 
Pearl Harbor) to take a second look at the radar screen on December 
7th, would you? Before you say yes and accept that parade in your 
honor down Main Street, perhaps you should go forward in time and 
see if the U.S still had the motivation to make the A-bomb before Hitler 
did. 


1 fail to understand why my words generate so much conflict. I think 
it’s far better for you to consider what I say as fantasy so there is no 
question of credibility. How is my credibility going to affect your life? 
I don’t want you to believe me and it doesn’t affect me in the least if 
you did.

I don’t know any other way to tell you that I am unaware of what 
happens in the next week, especially in Hollywood. Just curious, that's 
a common question; why do you think I would know something about 
that? 


Yes, it’s very possible that what I say would spin your future off into a 
different direction. But since what I say is “bogus,” that shouldn’t be a 
problem. 


On a philosophical level, the existence of multiple worlds implies a 
moral balance in the superverse. For every world line you perform a 
good action, there is a world line where you perform a bad action. 
There are no good and bad people, just good and bad decisions. We can 
only be responsible for what we do as individuals on the world line we 
are on now. 


So take heart! Somewhere out there is a world line where I’m spilling 
all the beans on hockey, the stock market and Hollywood and you’re all 
off to Vegas and Wall Street making millions of dollars. 


I do very much enjoy these conversations and I’m working on the other 
questions. 


As far as the war goes, my best advice is to find at least 5 people within 
100 miles of you that you trust with your life. 


No, I haven’t met any other time travelers here and although from my 
perspective that’s highly unlikely, it’s not impossible. No, I don’t have 
any additional information concerning crop circles, ETs or UFOs. I find 
those subjects rather interesting myself and it’s one of the reasons I was 
drawn to this web site. 


Q: Can you give us any personal stories of your past? 


I was born in 1998 so I do share some childhood memories with all of 
you. I remember going to (famous Central Florida vacation area) at 
Christmas and I remember going to the beach in Daytona. When the 
civil “conflict” started and got worse, people generally decided to either 
stay in the cities and lose most of their civil rights under the guise of 
security or leave the cities for more isolated and rural areas. Our home 
was searched once and the neighbor across the street was arrested for 
some unknown reason. That convinced my father to leave the city. 


Diy Pe 


l'rom the age of 8 to 12, we lived away from the cities and spent most 
of our time in a farm community with other families avoiding conflict 
with the federal police and National Guard. By that time, it was pretty 
clear that we were not going back to what we had and the division 
between the “cities” and the “country” was well defined. 


My father made a living by putting together 12-volt electrical systems 
and sailing “commodities” up and down the coast of Florida. I spent 
most of my time helping him. 


Before John arrived, my husband was in the market for a used sailboat 
we could trailer around between the coasts in Florida. After John 
arrived, he decided against it. I've often wondered if that was the same 
sailboat John remembers as a child. If it was, then in a very small way 
the future has already changed for us. 


Outright open fighting was common by then and I joined a shotgun 
infantry unit in 2011. I served with the “Fighting Diamondbacks” for 
about 4 years. (Hearing in my right ear isn’t as good as I would like it). 
The civil war ended in 2015 when Russia attacked the U.S. cities (our 
enemy), China and Europe. As unusual and bad as my childhood might 
seem, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. 


Africa is not a pleasant place to be in 2036 although I would 
characterize it as recovering. 


The music you enjoy now is quite popular and available; it’s just not 
produced in anywhere near the same amount. There is a revival of 
“local” and classical music. Many people have learned to play their 
own. I personally enjoy Big Band, some Classical and interesting 
lyrical pieces from the 1970s and 1980s. 


Q: What does time travel do to the religious? If I exist on many 
time lines, which one is really me? 


This is an excellent question that causes a great deal of controversy. 
Since every possible outcome, event and possibility is happening and 
will happen, then all good and all evil balances out in the superverse. 


After the reality of multiple worlds sank into our collective thought, the 
one basic change to all religious dogma is the concept that good and 
evil does not exist as an organized force in our lives nor can it be used 
as a useful way to judge what God may think of a situation. 


7S 


Good and evil are personal experiences that can only guide what we do 
as individuals and how we relate to others. This outlook also makes it 
impossible for me to judge any other person or event. We cannot see 
the entire universe as God sees it; therefore, we will never be Gods or 
be capable of judging anything outside of ourselves. My actions can 
only be judged as good and bad by me and my God. 


There is also an area of thought that maintains all of the “yous” out 
there will make up the “you” that eventually returns to God. In that 
manner, it is frustrating to know that you are capable of and acting on 
all of the thoughts and ideas you have regardless of what the “you” here 
is doing. How good or evil do you think you can be? 


There is even an idea (supported in physics apparently but I have a hard 
time with this one) that there is some sort of communication going on 
between all of the “yous” that are out there. Some people think that 
memories, intuition and conscience are actually attempts by one 
version of “you” to talk to another. 


Yes, we still have football and you will easily recognize it in 2036. 


I am posting here because I enjoy talking with people without having to 
hide who I am. It’s safe. I can then gather historical information from 
you and the web. 


Yes, I have superiors. However, from their perspective, I will only have 
been gone a split second. The only real risk I am taking is spending too 
long outside my main line and risking a probability error (dying, 
accident, etc.). Based on the physics of gravity displacement, I can’t 
leave whenever I want anyway and I do have some leeway into how I 
conduct my mission. 


After Y2K did not happen, John stored the computer he had from 1975 
with his time machine in some unknown vehicle storage facility. He 
told us it would automatically return to his home if something 
happened to him. 


It is impossible for me to change any world line that I am not on. 
Nothing I do here will affect my home. The “60 year flux” is a 
limitation of my machine, not of physics. Jet planes can’t fly into space, 
my machine is not reliable past a 60 + year destination.
