THE PARADOXES…
If you went back in time
and visited your granny during her ninth birthday don’t kill her! Because if
you put a gun to her head and pull the trigger she could not have given birth
to your mum. YOU certainly were never born…
Therefore you could not
have killed anyone as you never existed. Now this means your granny couldn’t
have been killed by you. She didn’t die nine years old. This permits you to be
born.
If you were born could you
go back and kill your granny? No, not your real granny. This general idea has
been used in Back to the future. Marty nearly stops himself from being born
when he prevents his parents from falling in love.
Solving The Problem
1, You simply can’t change
history meaning if you go back in time you have no free will(as shown in Twelve
Monkeys, Crime Traveler etc. Events will get in your way if you try to kill
your granny. YOU CAN’T DO IT.
2, When you so-called
change history you’re actually moving up a different branch in time into
another universe. The previous universe (where you were born) still exists.
When you fire the gun you’re really killing another version of your
grandmother.
3, Any actions you make in
the so-called past has no affects on the present. It’s a different time-line
universe.
The laws true solutions
don’t present real time-travel as you go into another world.
Conclusion
We can’t simply use the
grandmother paradox to rule out time-travel claiming it causes logical
inconsistencies. We need to look at all the possibilities.
How could we build a time
machine?
The mathematics of general
relativity suggest that under extreme conditions space-time might become so
warped it would be possible to travel back in time. There is also the
possibility of tunnels in time created by negative mass.
Very long rotating
cylinders of matter-proposed by Frank Tipler
Kerr’s spinning
blackholes-since most stars spin this becomes worth looking (proposed by Roy
Kerr).
Cosmic strings-(as Richard
Cott suggested)
Travelling faster than
light – would take us back in time(as suggested by solutions to relativity).
Wormholes might allow us to outpace light (if you walk through the short cut
quicker than light through convential (normal) space.
Tachyons -are sub-atomic
particles which always travel faster than light and therefore move back in time
constantly. They have not yet been found and remain hypethical.
Contracting Universe- Time
might then be running backwards but since everything else also would it’s
unsuitable.
Macro-wormholes(Kip Thorne
showed how we could use it as a time machine).
time - paradox
Paradoxes
Grandfather paradox
Suppose you could go back
in time, lets say several decades and found your grandfather when he was two
years old. In his house you could grab a knife and stab him to death. He
doesn't get the chance to have children with your grandmother. Therefore either
your mother or father doesn't get born. Your parents can't give birth to you
because one of them don't exist. You could never have been born and don't even
exist. But could your grandfather have been killed by someone who doesn't
exist? He must have lived through his childhood. This would allow you to exist
if this is the case. Seemingly you can go back in time to commit the murder if
you are born but then you would never have been born. And so on and so on. This
situation is not consistent with itself. It doesn't make sense and can't
possibly happen.
Solutions
1, You simply can't change
the past. Time will stop you limiting your freedom while you're in the past
from your point of view. This puts the concept of freewill in serious danger
especially if you tell people what's going to happen to them in their future.
If you believe when you go back in time you are from one possible future from
everyone else's point of view they can simply go up any root in time they want.
According to quantum
physics Many Worlds theory there are a huge amount of universes where every
possibility occurs between them all. In some you're the opposite sex. In some
you won the lottery etc.
You might be heading
towards the universe you originally came from before you travelled back in
time. Everything will happen the way you remember it. But all the people you
meet are free to decide what they want to do and enter a different universe.
Since it's not possible for you to be there you disappear from their lives.
Meeting a time traveller from your future could therefore be very strange.
2, A parallel universe
might be created when you seem to change the past. Imagine if time itself was
just like a tree. The different branches show different ways events could have
happened. Every time we decide to do or not to do something time splits. Even
if we are not aware we decided something it have affects. Quantum physics
reveals a many worlds theory like this.
Conclusion
Since this parallel
universe is not really your past (despite it's first appearance) anything you
do there does not affect you. You can prevent a version of yourself from being
born because you are not really related to anyone there. They just look very
like your family and friends. You are not home! You may be somewhere that looks
like the place you live but a different universe in quantum physics is a
completely different reality.
3, No matter what you do
in what is really a parallel universe you will do back to your previous
universe which is not affected by your previous actions. A space-time wormhole
could lead you back to your original unaffected universe.
What came out of the
wormhole if the ball never went into it?
Another common example of
a paradox is a ball that goes through a wormhole connected with a moment in the
past. Therefore it comes out of the other space-time wormhole mouth actually
before it went in! Then what might happen? If the ball then hits it's younger
self out of the way of the mouth then it never goes in. But if the ball never
did go in the wormhole then how can it ever come out. The existence of the
older version of the ball is destroyed i.e. it never falls back in time. But
then this version certainly can't hit the younger version out of the way. So it
must go into the wormhole as a collision with it's older self is evidently the
only force that could and did stop the ball from entering the wormhole. This of
course is unexplainable and is logically inconsistent.
But the situation could
happen differently to allow it to become self consistent.
1, What if after the ball
comes out of the wormhole at an earlier time it does hit it's previous self but
this collision is what makes the ball fall into the mouth in the first place!
It hits the other version into the mouth. This would imply that the past or
present is affected by the future. In fact in this case the past is dependant
on the future.
2, The ball might simply
hit it's other self only slightly so the direction of the ball is not altered
enough to cause a paradox.
3, The ball might just
miss it's younger self.
Nature might protect time
and prevent paradoxes. From theories and many stories it's clear that paradoxes
cannot happen in the real world.
Other types of paradoxes
In the terminator movies
John had something important to tell Sarah. Thank her for her help through the
hell. Tell her not to give up or he will never exist.
Who wrote the speech?
John certainly didn't
write it. He was told it since he was a kid from Sarah who could remember it.
Sarah just recalls what Kyle told her in 1984. Kyle just remembered what John
told him to say.
Conclusion
No one wrote it. It exists
somehow but not by John, Kyle or Sarah being creative. No one had to write it
because it was created by the affect the future on the past had on each other.
If I in 2000 study the
history of work done in a private factory and learn about the development of a
time machine! Their scientists worked from designs and plans noted in a book
(never published)they used. They had no idea how to achieve such technology
until they read it.
Then to experiment with
temporal(time) paradoxes I am sent back to 1983. The entire building has not
even been built as I arrive. Later accidentally I meet one of the scientists
and talk to him. When I hear how excited he is I hand him that book which he
uses future success. The answers! He is more than willing to read and use the
book.
But who came up with the
idea of how the time machine is built?
Not any of the scientists
as they just followed instructions in that book.
Not me as all I did was
hand a scientist a book. Noone actually wrote the book and no one had to work
it out.
Is this allowed by
physical laws?
Noone really knows...

There is no grandfather
paradox in the multiverse scenario. In a multiverse, your grandfather's
multiple histories included many in which he was not murdered and many in which
he was murdered.
Those many histories in
which he was murdered included some involving different male or female
murderers who killed him. It's possible that you were one of those murderers in
one of your previous lifetimes or incarnations.

Paradox can't hold a
candle to "twinadox". Thats when you time travel back and MARRY your
gradndmother and become your own grandpaw. What if you had a twin brother and
the THREE of you all show up one day, wich one is the other you? How do you
know that there shouldn't be four of you and somebodys missing? Cheesh man!!
I'm going to get some sleep, and try not to read this thread next time...er

Let's get away from
travelling to the past for a moment. Let's look at what was made popular in
Back to the Future pt 2, where Marty sees his son, or his girlfriend sees
herself.
It cannot happen! If you
left time, you would be considered 'missing', or dead. The truth is, you don't
exist from the point in which you lept forward in time. You therefore cannot
see yourself, or your son, because you stopped existing at that point in the
past where you left.
Is this a proper paradox?
Is there any reasoning I am missing that says you can see your future self?
Look forward to responses.

True. If you leave this
time, you will not be here until you return. But, if you are aive in the future
as you were alive in the past, then you could visit yourself because you are
there. Your present self is different from your past or future self. This
definitely applies to the past because you know you lived in the past and if
you can go there, then you can visit yourself.

I think there is two ways
to look at this Jiga Watts. The first one is where you can actually change the
past so it effects the future. If you were presumed dead in the future, then
you could go back to the time right after you left and nothing would have been
changed. However if you leave again, it will just be the same as before.
The second one is where
you can't change the past, and you'll only be creating a parallel universe.
What used to be your future is now your present, and since what used to be your
present is now your past, you can't change the past, so you'll still be
presumed dead at when you left off. And so you can still go back in the past
and live there as usual, you won't be changing the future.
I think that's how those
theories go.

It is very interesting
what would happen if you left the present and reached the future. In The Time
Machine the time travelers asks about himself and people claim he went missing
when he left on his journey through time.
It seems like an BTTF2
Marty was taken away in 1985 so his kids and everything couldn't exist in
2015...
But the existance of his
kids might just be evidence that they will later return to 1985 to do all those
things! This would imply that everything they are going to do have already been
decided!
It became clear the the
future is NOT set as Doc claimed the future hasn't been written yet. So how
could they travel into what does not exist? Even when Marty went to 1955 he
must have been from the future from some people's point of view?
The future they travelled
to might just have been one possible future! In the quantum many worlds theory
there are an infinite amount of futures where every possibility occurs...

In response to 1.21
jiga-watts. If you go into the future and see yourself, then by rights you will
succeed in whatever you are doing in the future, and make it back to the
present. If you don't see yourself, then one could asume that you never made it
back to your own time in the present.

In some probabilities, you
traveled to the future and made it back, in others you did not make it back. In
some probabilities you are alive in a future time and in others you are not
alive. A multiverse contains all possibilities and all combinations of
possibilities.
If you can travel to the
future, you can meet a future self or not, depending on which probable future
you go to.

changes you try to make are already there as one of the possibilities.

Thank you all for your
responses. It's a fascinating discussion, to be sure, and one that seemingly
has endless possibilities.
I'm pretty set on the
paradox I raised, however. It just doesn't seem possible that you can see your
future self.
I'll check in every now
and then. Continue in your hypothesizing!

Wow! Paul is right on the
money. I was just about to give up hope on anyone knowing who Tipler or Kerr
was on this worldline.
By the way, #2 is the
correct answer and the basics for time travel start at CERN in about a year and
end in 2034 with the first "time machine" built by GE. Too bad we
can't post pictures or I'de show it to you.

because of what people would put up with no accountability.
any other info you give

Questions for timetravel_0
with permission to post.
Pamela:
by the way can you tell me
what it feels like to time travel? when you are
in the process of doing it
what does it feel like and what do you see and
hear. you made mention
that you had to get use to the fields. Do you see a
bright flash of light?
Timetravel_0:
Interesting first
question. The unit has a ramp up time after the
destination coordinates
are fed into the computers. An audible alarm and a
small light start a short
countdown at which point you should be secured in
a seat. The gravity field
generated by the unit overtakes you very quickly.
You feel a tug toward the
unit similar to rising quickly in an elevator and
it continues to rise based
on the power setting the unit is working under.
At 100% power, the
constant pull of gravity can be as high as 2 Gs or more
depending on how close you
are to the unit. There are no serious side
effects but I try to avoid
eating before a flight.
No bright flash of light
is seen. Outside, the vehicle appears to
accelerate as the light is
bent around it. We have to wear sunglasses or
close our eyes as this
happens due to a short burst of ultraviolet
radiation. Personally I
think it looks like your driving under a rainbow.
After that, it appears to
fade to black and remains totally black until the
unit is turned off. We are
advised to keep the windows closed as a great
deal of heat builds up
outside the car. The gravity field also traps a
small air pocket around
the car that acts as your only O2 supply unless you
bring compressed air with
you. This pocket will only last for a short
period and a carbon sensor
tells us when it's too dangerous. The C204 unit
is accurate from 50 to 60
years a jump and travels at about 10 years an hour
at 100% power.
You do hear a slight hum
as the unit operates and when the power changes or
the unit turns off. There
is a great deal of electrical crackling noise
from static electricity.
Pamela: 1. what are some
of your memories of 2036?
Timetravel_0: I remember
2036 very clearly. It is difficult to describe 2036 in detail
without spending a great
deal of time explaining why things are so
different. In 2036, I live
in central
currently stationed at an
Army base in
nearly three billion
people. The people that survived grew closer together.
Life is centered around
the family and then the community. I can not
imagine living even a few
hundred miles away from my parents. There is no
large industrial complex
creating masses of useless food and recreational
items. Food and livestock
is grown and sold locally. People spend much more
time reading and talking
together face to face. Religion is taken seriously
and everyone can multiple
and divide in the heads.
Pamela: 2. can you send me
more of the manual?
Timetravel_0: I will
considering it but I do not expect they are worth anything to most
people except as a
curiosity.
Pamela: 3.what would
happen if you would meet yourself on another world line?
Timetravel_0: It has
always surprised me why that concept is so hard for people to imagine
and accept. Nothing would
happen. The universe would not end and there are
no paradox problems that
threaten existence. Temporal space-time is made up
of every possible quantum
state. The Everett Wheeler model is correct. I
have met and/or seen
myself twice on different world lines. The first was a
training mission and the
second is now. I was born in 1998 so the other
"me" is 2 on
this world line. There is a saying where I come from....Every
possible thing that can
happen or will happen has already happened
somewhere.
Pamela: 4.How is this
world line different from your own?
Timetravel_0: For
starters....the fact that I'm here makes it different. I've also
noticed little things like
news events that happen at different times,
football games won by
other teams...things like that. I would guess the
temporal divergence
between this world line and my original is about 1 or 2
percent. Of course, the
longer I am here, the larger that divergence
becomes from my point of
view.
Pamela: 5.Is the vehicle a
jeep?
Timetravel_0: No...its a
1967 Chevrolet..
Pamela: 6.Are you having
normal dreams right now? any out of body experiences?
drawing you to different
times? Do you dream you wake up in other places
and other times?
TimeTravel_0: No strange
dreams or other experiences. Everything is pretty much the way I
expected it.
Pamela: 7.are you able to
control where you go or is it random?
Timetravel_0: Yes, it can
be controlled. However, the distortion unit has operational
limits. Imagine your path
through time is through a cone. The farther away
from the center of the
cone, the more differences you will see in the world
line. The C204 begins to
"break away" at about 60 years. This means the
level of confidence drops
rapidly after 60 years of travel and the world
line divergence increases.
In other words, if I wanted to go back 2000
years and meet Christ,
there is a better than average chance I would end up
on a world line where he
was never born. The computer units and gravity
sensors "record"
your trip and you are quite easily able to return to your
point of origin. I am
aware that research is being done on faster units
with more accurate clocks.
I imagine that they will be able to go back
farther with a higher
degree of divergence confidence.
Pamela: 8. are you feeling
drawn back to your own time or are you stable in this
world?
Timetravel_0: I'm not sure
what you mean by stable. If you mean mentally...there are many
things that bother me here
but being with my parents right now is important
to me. Physically, the
only thing really wrong is the number of colds I
get.
Pamela: 9.Are you able to
go back to your own world line?
Timetravel_0: Yes.
Pamela: 10.how are you
protecting yourself from radiation? it alters DNA if you
dont.
Timetravel_0: I'm not sure
what radiation you mean. If you mean from the unit, you can
see it vents X-rays and
Gamma radiation out of the rear. As long as you
stay away from that, you
should be okay. I keep a radiation detector with
me to check my environment
and make sure the unit isn't "leaking".
Pamela: 11.How long would
you say that ultraviolet radiation lasts? about 10
seconds?
and when you are in that
light can you see anything around you or does the
light kind of "fill
up" everything and that is all you can see at the
time?
Timetravel_0: The light
bending only lasts a second. Its like driving under a tunnel and
being in total black.
Pamela: 12.Do your people
know where you are right now? Can you communicate with
them?
do you have a biological
implant?
Timetravel_0: No. They do
not know where I am and I can not communicate with them.
Interesting idea though.
From their point of view, I will return almost
exactly at the same moment
I left. From their viewpoint, I will only have
aged more than expected.
Pamela: 13. after the
flash of light is gone are you then in another time? what
does it look like as the
new time unfolds? Is it just there? or does it
slowly come into view?
does it fade in and out for a time?
Timetravel_0: While the
machine is on. Everything is black. When the machine is turned
off, it is the reverse
affect. It appears you are driving out from a
bridge. To tell you the
truth, I'm usually sleeping when the unit turns off
but yes...it does appear
that the world fades in from black.
Pamela: 14. what happens
if the device messes up?
Do you end up in space? if
it goes offline and shifts ? does a hole open
elsewhere?
Timetravel_0: Good
question!!! That one almost never comes up. The hard part of
traveling through time is
not the bending of gravity but the plotting of
your course and holding to
the basic "position" in your environment. This
is done through a system
called VGL (variable gravity lock). Basically, the
unit takes a reading of
the local gravity and samples it during the "trip"
in pulses. If the gravity
is too far off, the unit stops or reverses itself
to the last sample period
where the readings were correct. If there is some
sort of failure, the unit
shuts down and drops out to where ever you may be.
Pamela: 15. what affects
are caused on the immediate area where the gravity has
been distorted after you
leave it and when you arrive? are there permanent
effects left on the land
such as electromagnetic disturbances in that
area?
Timetravel_0: Another good
question!!! The only real physical trace is a large chunk of
ground missing from the
point of origin and a large pile of dirt at the
destination. The gravity
field surrounds a small portion of the earth under
you and takes it along for
the ride. There is really no way around this.
Please feel free to post
these if you wish.

Pam, did you ask about
going forward in time? Do you need an invite from a future traveler? Where did
MR. 0 get the '67 chevy?
Bringing chunks of ground
along with you as you casually rewrite the history of entire worlds? I guess
thats why Docs' Delorian was fitted with levitation equipment, to make a fast
get away from angry property owners having to fill and grade every time he time
jumps.
TimeLine 2015; STOP THE
PRESSES!! 3 Billion Killed!!! Oh the presses are already stopped? Now if he
time traveled *before* the planet was pulverized it would be a bit more
believable.
Does Mr. 0 work for GE?
Maybe he owns some GE stock. Speaking of stocks we could all use a hot tip from
the guy that already knows who's going to be the next Cisco, Coke or Microsoft.
Most importantly why would
Mr. 0 want to talk the likes of us?

In response to Shadow:
Perhaps it’s a bit easier
to understand why time travelers do not revel themselves.
Yes, you can travel
forward in time. No, you do not need an “invite” from the future. I first saw
the car in 2036. The idea was to find a vehicle that would not draw too much
attention for the time period. Unfortunately, there were not very many suitable
vehicles around in 2036 and I sold the car when I arrived in 2000.
You do not rewrite
history. I can only affect what happens here just as easily as you can. Why do
people in this time period worry so much about time traveler’s destroying their
world line when they have no problem doing it themselves every day?
My goal is not to be
believed. Most people do not take news of the war very well but I find that
everyone believes it’s inevitable. Even in your own history, are not great
inventions and discoveries made during a time of war in your effort to kill and
main in new and more efficient ways?
No, I do not work for GE
or any other company. Are “stock tips” really the first thing you want to know
about in the future? As a representative of your time period, do you realize
what that says about you? You should probably know that this time is not
remembered for its selflessness, charity or ability to work together.
Why would I want to talk
to you? Why don’t you believe you have something interesting or worthwhile to
say to someone in the future?

Hey TimeTravel_0!!!
So then what you're saying
is that our current computer models are wrong about Glacial and Polar Ice Cap
melting, even though they are going by our current emmisions rate and projected
emmisions of the growth of fossil fuels consumption?? While Global Warming is
factually happening and even if we stopped burning fossil fuels today and
stopped destroying the rain forests today, the impact that is already altered
our planetary climate would not stop today as the ball is already rolling. The
toxins in the ozone layer and the earths lessening inability to creat oxygen,
due to the catastrophic daily destruction of the rain forests that give us most
of our oxygen, would take longer than beyond the year 2036 to repair itself,
even with our help. I find it amazing that if you throw a WWIII into the
equation, one devistating enough to cause the death of 3 Billion people, would
not add to the excelloration of Global Warming and raise the sea level to the
point where in 2036 most of Florida will be underwater. Help me understand what
reversed this impending climatic catastrophy..
Sincerely, Draco

Ok, Mr. 0 . First things:
you have to realize that people will be hostile toward you when you make such a
big claim. What reason have we to believe you? But, enough thought experiments
occur here anyways, so...
I don't think any era in
history has been particularly noted for its compassion or selflessness. Why
should we be any different?
Ok, so why not give us
stock tips? You said you weren't worried about polluting the timeline, right?
As for rewriting history,
the normal objection is causality. But, if you use multiple-universe theory,
then it's all good. My question is, how do you get back to your proper universe
- you said you're very close to your family - how come another jump wouldn't
just send you into some third, different universe?
And, finally: what happens
if you go back in time to a time when, right where you were standing, there was
a giant cement block? Do you just appear inside of it and die? Or do you get
pushed away?
Thanks,
Janus.

You asked about the North
Polar ice pack. I never said the environment wasn't a problem. Doesn't water
expand when it freezes? If the polar ice cap melted, wouldn't sea level go
down? I don't know if there's enough ice for this to make a difference and I'm
not an expert on global warming.

To Janus:
Yes, I realize people
become hostile. I don’t expect anyone to believe me and I have nothing to sell.
I take no offense by it. Just out of curiosity, if you were a time traveler,
what do you think it would take to get people to believe you?
I suppose we could agree
that no particular era in history is famous for its development of humanity but
just once I would like to hear questions like, “What is family life like in the
future? How does society deal with poverty? Is AIDS, abortion and drug use
still a problem?”
Why don’t I give you a
stock tip? The money you make would dilute the intelligence and forethought
that a smart person had in picking the stock all by themselves. If I told you
how to get rich, I would be taking money from them and giving it to you.
Getting back to my
“proper” universe is tricky but possible. Yes, another jump would take me to a
different family.
Cement block…good
question. The hard part of traveling to other world lines is just that. There
is a system of clocks and gravity sensors that sample the environment before
dropping out. Its called VGL, (variable gravity lock). If a cement block were
there, the machine would “backtrack” until it sensed relative congruity to the
original gravity sample. A great deal of time and effort goes into picking just
the right spot since you can not physically move during a displacement.

Greetings:
Please keep in mind a
couple of points as I answer your questions. First, Iam not a physicist.
"Time travel" is only a tool that allowed me to do my
job 1975. Most airline
pilots are probably not aerospace engineers.
Second, let me give you an
example of the position we are in. Imagine you
live in the year 1900 and
a "time traveler" attempts to explain how a jet
engine works. Even though
the invention of the airplane is only a decade inthe future, he would have to
find some frame of reference to explain the
basics of flight. Then, he
would have to outline the mechanics of how the
engine works. As amazing
as it would sound, the jet would be invented about thirty years later.
Pamela: 1. can you explain
to me in detail the basic physics and mathematics behind how the machine
operates? and exactly how it distorts gravity.
Timetravel_0: 1) Time
travel is achieved by altering gravity. This concept is already proven by
atomic clock experiments. The closer an observer is to a gravity source (high
mass), the slower time passes for them. Traveling at high speeds mimics this
effect which = the twin paradox of faster than light travel. However, this type
of gravity manipulation is not sufficient to alter your world line.
The basic math to alter
world lines exists right now. Tipler first
described a working
"time machine" through his theory of massive rotating
spheres. I apologize for
the web site but it was the only one I could find
quickly.
http://www.geocities.com:0080/Area51/Station/5763/time.html
Certain types of black
holes also exhibit the "time travel" abilities of
Tipler cylinders. Kerr was
one of the first to describe the dual event
horizons of a rotating
black hole. As with Tipler's cylinders, it was
possible to travel on a
"time-like" trip through a Kerr black hole and end
up in a different world
line without being squished by the gravity of the
singularity.
http://www.physics.fsu.edu/courses/fall98/ast1002/section4/blackholes/fig11-13/fig11-132.htm
http://qso.lanl.gov/~bromley/nu_nofun.html
http://www.leonllo.freeservers.com/blackworm.html
http://www.astro.ku.dk/~cramer/RelViz/text/geom_web/node4.html
(deleted).......................................................
The mass and gravitational
field of a microsingularity can then be
manipulated by
"injecting" electrons onto its surface. By rotating two
electric microsigularities
at high speed, it is possible to create and
modify a local gravity
sinusoid that replicates the affects of a Kerr black
hole.
For those asking how come
a microsingularity doesn't swallow the Earth or
want to know details about
the size, stability, mass, temperature and
resulting Hawking
radiation from such a thing.. those details I must keep to myself.
Pamela: 2. can you travel
to the future as well as the past? my understanding of the machine is the trip
is recorded so you can get back to your original time line but what about a
future beyond your time line are you able to access it as well?
or does it have to be open
by a future chrononaunt?
Timetravel_0: Yes, you can
travel into the future and it takes less energy than going into the past.
Pamela: 3.I dont see the
computer in the device. is it the hand held device on the side of the larger
device? If so what kind of power supply does the
computer work off of is it
the battery as well or some type of crystal?
Timetravel_0: The computer
system is connected to the unit through an electrical bus.
There are actually three
computers linked together that take the same
signals from the gravity
sensors and clocks. They use a Borda error
correcting protocol that
checks the integrity of the data and trips the VGL
system.
Pamela:4.Is your DNA
remaining stable in this world or does it shift? does time traveling affect
your body or aura or spirit in any way you know of?
timetravel_o: 4) I am not
aware of any physical change to my DNA or "aura". I do however seem
to be more susceptible to colds.
Pamela: 5. when you go
back to the future will we remember you?
Time travel_0: Yes, you
will remember me if you want to. World lines do not change that way and I will
only become a insignificant part of your history.

I would equate the
"future" GM distortion units to their current jet engines. The first
one worked great but they can always make it better.
The C204 unit uses 4 cesium
clocks. The C206 uses 6 cesium clocks but they use an optical system to check
the oscillation frequency. This makes the world line divergance confidence much
higher.

Time Traveler-0
If you could bring some
material thing back to your time in 2036 what would it be?
Could I travel to a future
that was, say 0.5 seconds ahead of now? In the same vien, if you just happened
to arrive at "the year 2000" a fraction of a second in my past, or
future would I ever know that you just 'landed soonby"? In other words,
what makes this time line be 'now' at any given moment versus being any other
time. We exist as A point on a time LINE, what is it that defines that point?
As far as how wonderfull
your people are in the time after the war I'm very happy for you. Maybe they
succeded in wiping out the RIGHT 3billion people. Something that could not be
done with the nuclear sledge hammer. Perhaps the enemy released a killer virus
that zeros in on only those who carried the Idiot gene?
2036 is not impossibly far
off, what is your street adress then? I'll stop in and swap tales from days of
old....assuming I live that long.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
what will the year 2036 be
like?
pamela: 1.I will ask you
about your environment then and I want to know about the family life and also
about your religion. what religion has survived? Do you believe in Jesus Christ
or someone else. Do people still pray to God? Do you still have churches?
timetravel_0: Yes I
believe in Jesus Christ and we pray to God in churches. There aresome
differences you may be interested in. Religion is a major part ofpeoples life
in 2036. Pain and change tend to bring people together andcloser to God.
However, religion is far more personal than it is now.
There are no huge,
centralized religions and people talk openly about theirbeliefs. It might also
interest you to know that the day of worship is
Saturday, the day God
meant to be the Sabbath and the 10 commandments have
been restored to the
"10" that God gave us.
pamela: 2. what kind of
jobs do people do and do they still work long hours? whats the majority of job
types in the future?
timetravel_0: Life is much
more rural in the future but "high" technology is used to communicate
and travel. People raise a great deal of their own food and do more
"farm" work. Yes, compared to now, we do work long hours. After the
war, my father made a living selling oranges up and down the West coast of
Florida. My closest friend raises horses and another works for a company
that maintains
"wireless" internet nodes.
pamela: 3.what is a
typical day like for someone in your time? do you still havethe internet? has
it advanced to all virtual reality yet?
what type of diseases are
you currently dealing with? are there still advances in science?
timetravel_0: A typical
day...hmmm. Life has changed so much over my lifetime that it's hard to pin
down a "normal" day. When I was 13, I was a soldier. As a teenager, I
helped my dad haul cargo. I went to college when I was 31 and I was recruited
to "time travel" shortly after that. Again...I suppose an average day
in 2036 is like an average day on the farm.
pamela: 4.Is there still a
post office? how do you receive messages from one
another? you said most
people talk face to face.
timetravel-0: Yes...there
is a post office. The internet is still alive and well in the future. People
spend more time talking because life is more centered around the community.
I've noticed the same type of effect here when the power goes off. People tend
to come out of their homes and actually spend time with their neighbors. There
is a lot more personal trust and less paranoia.
pamela: 5.what type of
houseing do you live in?
timetravel_0: When I'm
with my parents, I live in a community made up of "tree houses" on a
large river in Florida. The river floods sometimes and we have access to the
Gulf. Most of our neighbors make a living off the sea or in moving cargo by
boat.
pamela: 6.what started the
war? and who fought in it? who won?what countries were destroyed and what
survived?
timetravel_0: Wow...that's
a big question. There is a civil war in the United States that starts in 2005.
That conflict flares up and down for 10 years. In 2015, Russia launches a
nuclear strike against the major cities in the United States (which is the
"other side" of the civil war from my perspective), China and Europe.
The United States counter attacks. The US cities are destroyed along with the
AFE (American Federal Empire)...thus we (in the country) won. The European Union
and China were also destroyed. Russia is now our largest trading partner and
the Capitol of the US was moved to Omaha Nebraska.
pamela: 7.did you ever
discover what aliens were and ufos?
timetravel_0: No new
information there. I find that an interesting subject myself. Personally, I
think "UFOs" might be time travelers with very sophisticated
distortion units. But that might be a bit wacky.
pamela: 8. what type of
environmental problems do you know of that exist? do you have pure water to
drink? are you mostly vegetarian-seems how most people are going that way
today.
timetravel_0: One of the
biggest reasons why food production is localized is because the environment is
so screwed up with disease and radiation. We are making huge strides in getting
it cleaned up. Water is produced on a community level and we do eat meat..that
we raise ourselves.
pamela: 9. are they still
messing around with genetics? and altering the food and animals?
timetravel_0:
Yes...genetic engineering is used but it's like any other technology. It can be
good and bad. One thing we did not do was create more hybrid seeds. What are
people thinking???
pamela:10.what do you
believe about life after death?
timetravel_0: I am a
Christian Agnostic. I do not believe faith alone is enough to get us back to
God. I'm not sure what happens when we die but I'm pretty sure it's not a walk
in the park.
pamela: 11. do you have an
advances in spacetravel or exploration?
timetravel_0: No. We are
working on it.
pamela: 12. what new
inventions do we have to look forward to?
timetravel_0: Hmmm....I
hesitate to answer but I'll give a bit. Hydrogen fuel cells and more efficient
solar cells are big deals. Computer technology and software gets MUCH better.
pamela: 13. what brings
you the greatest joy on Earth? what are some things you and others do for
entertainment and fun?
timetravel_0: I like this
question. My greatest joy is sailing. For fun, I enjoy swimming, playing cards,
reading, playing games on the net and talking with people who live in other
countries. As a community, we celebrate much more and have bon fires and
dances. My hobby is sorting through old magazines and videos of life before the
war.
pamela: 14. what are your
schools and universities like?
timetravel_0: After the
war, early new communities gathered around the current Universities. That's
where the libraries were. I went to school at Fort UF which is now called the
University of Florida. Not too much is different except the military is large part
of people's life and we spend a great deal of time in the fields and farms at
the "University" or Fort.
pamela: 15. what are some
of your fondest memories growing up? what kind of
cameras do you have now to
take pictures of the family? did they ever invent a hologram camera?
timetravel_0: Most of my
memories growing up are not fond. Life was very hard. Simple things make me
happy like hugging my mother and father. Yes, we have cameras. More digital.
Film is used like painting is today. No hologram camera though.
pamela: 16. do you still
have telephones? what is your major source of energy that you use? solar power?
electricity? have you discovered new energies.
timetravel_0: Yes we have
phones but the service is through the web. Most power generation is localized.
It amazes me how much power is wasted now. Yes, solar is big. There is thought
that a singularity generator could also be used but most people are against it.
pamela: 17. how do you
take care of your elderly? and your poor and your orphans? and the ones who
cannot work?
timetravel_0: The elderly
are highly revered and looked after on a community level. So are orphans. There
is always something people can do now matter what. The idea of avoiding work is
looked down on. Everyone pulls together to keep the COMMUNITY strong.
pamela: 18. what is the
dress style of the time what do you wear on your bodies as a style?
timetravel_0: Hats are
more common in the future and flashy colors are less common. Dress is much more
functional and we "dress up" when ever we get a chance. I have
noticed that no one in this time dresses for occasions even when they have the
clothes. Why do people wear shorts to church?
pamela: 19. do people wear
their hair differently than we do?every generation has a different style what
is the style of your time? what is popular for kids to wear? for adults to
wear?
timetravel-0: We do not
spend nearly the amount of time on our hair as people do now. Women like to
wear their hair longer and men have it much shorter. Both sexes shave it all
off when they're in active military service.
pamela: 20. are surgeries
mostly performed by lasars? or were there new
technologies developed?
timetravel_o: Far less
medical treatment in the future even though its more advanced. People die when
they now its time to die. No lasers. Genetic medicine and cloning organs are
the obvious new techs in the future.
pamela: 21. do you still
have the current form of government, presidents and vice presidents like we do?
timetravel_0: No. The
Constitution was changed after the war. We have 5 presidents that are voted in
and out on different term periods. The vice president is the president of the
senate and they are voted separately.
pamela: 22. how do you get
from one place to another with not many cars around.do you teleport from one
place to another?
timetravel_0: We have
cars...just not a whole bunch of them. There is public transportation from city
to city.

If I could bring some

Constitution.
Yes, you could travel to a
future that was 0.5 seconds ahead of now but not with my machine. The C204 uses
the second as the basic unit of measure. The C206 may be capable of .05 sec.
(In the same vien, if you
just happened to arrive at "the year 2000" a fraction of a second in

No "you" would
not. But the "you" on that world line would.
(In other words, what
makes this time line be 'now' at any given moment versus being any other time.

It is believed there are
some sort of measurable quantum differences in world lines. I am not an expert

(1.Without going into

In 2036, a great deal of
effort is going into "repairing" our environment. I was sent to 1975
to get a computer system and take it back to 2036. Time travel is not a secret
in 2036 and I expect it will become more common.
(2.Why it is used and how

Right now, its used to get
information or "items" that would be helpful in getting a post WWIII
world back to a normal condition. There are 7 other time travelers in my unit.
(3.Are there specific time
periods time .travelers go to most?)
Right now, most of our
practical missions are from 1960 to 1980. There is a great deal of research
into later and future periods but the farther you go, the lower the divergence
confidence of the world line.
(4.you stated there were
several time machines available are they all active at this time to your

Yes.
(5.What kind of car are

It's a 1987 4WD. The

Yes.

re-calibrate the unit? (Does mass effect the field strength or power level
needed to travel?) What kind of coils are used to contain, and maintain the
singularity? (tri-coil, or quadrature coil, etc.) Can your unit also
dimensionally travel? (can it move laterally in time as well as
forward/reverse)

Yes. But its a function of

I am not a phycist so I

No. However, the longer

Time travel_0,
I followed the link to
your pictures and if time travel is not a secret in your "time" then
why do the top of your pictures say "restricted file"??
restricted file means
LIMITED TO AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY.
Have you considered the
possible adverse consequences the person might face that you had post them for
you since you remain covert? or don't you care since it is not your world line.
what about the people that read the information and attempt to build one? what
if they get injured in the process because they are not knowledgeable enough to
handle the forces they are playing with at this "time".
what is your true purpose
for posting assumingly "restricted" government documents on a public
bulletin board where everyone can see it?
Did your Unit Commander
authorize such a thing or is it something you decided to do completely on your
own?
Have you considered your
actions and probable outcome carefully?

To Seeker of Truth. The
chances of one of us building a C204 are slim to none. (and Slim's dead) Who's
to say that someone that will read this board, will be the one to actually
invent the means for the C204 (or other units) to be operational? The divergance
factor is so low, everbody will forget about this in a short time. I wouldn't
worry about it When Timetravel_0 goes back, this will be nothing but a

Yes, I have considered it
but it is very easy to remain hidden behind a veil of disbelief. The people who
understand what they are seeing are not aggressive. Everyone else just finds
them entertaining. The obvious first answer is that the only world line of
consequence is my own and I don’t care what happens here. That however, is not
the case. I have shown these documents in order that people might consider the
possibility. I do not expect people to believe them.
(what is your true purpose
for posting assumingly "restricted" government documents on a public
bulletin board where everyone can see it?)
The restricted nature of
the documents I posted refers to the departmentalized nature of the technical
information. The manual is supposed to remain with the unit. The current F-16
fighter jet probably has an operations manual. All the information in it is not
secret but no one wants it to “walk” away from the plane.
(Did your Unit Commander
authorize such a thing or is it something you decided to do completely on your

I am here for personal
reasons. For a few months now, I have bee trying to alert anyone that would
listen to the possibility of a civil war in the United States in 2005. Does
that seem more likely now? Actually it’s quite amazing to see what’s happening.
I have been trying to get people to pay attention for the last few months but
to see it unfold is very interesting. Before I leave, I’ll try and post my
report.
I am curious… will anyone
be upset if Florida’s votes are not counted in the Electoral College because of
the current “confusion”?

Timetravel_0, People have
been "warned" of the upcoming events (or high probability of) for sometime.
The date seems to move up and down the timeline a little, but the out come
seems to be the same. Some of the "new age crackpots(?)" have already
said this. A few have even given an estimate of when (some have been close to
the year you stated). From what I understand, it is coinciding with a natural

Flood forthcoming
Monday, November 27 2000 @

Contributed by: Porfiry
Global warming could be on
the verge of triggering a rise in sea levels that would flood huge swathes of
the Earth's most densely populated regions, says an unpublished report from the
world's top climate scientists. Caused in large part by the melting of Greenland's
ice sheet, this process would take a thousand years or more but would be
"irreversible" once under way.
The report, due to be
published next May by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC), is being read by the world's governments. The final draft seen by New
Scientist suggests that dozens of the countries meeting this week to agree on
global warming limits through the Kyoto Protocol may face being wiped off the
world map.
Four years ago, the IPCC
forecast that sea levels could rise by half a metre in this century and by a
maximum of between 1.5 and 3 metres over the coming 500 years. The new
assessment suggests an eventual rise of 7 to 13 metres is more likely. This is
enough to drown immense areas of land and many major cities. These rises will
occur even if governments succeed in halting global warming within the next few
decades, the report says.
Two factors are causing
the rise: the slow spread of heat to the ocean depths and the destabilising of
major ice sheets. It will take about a thousand years for warming in the
atmosphere to reach the bottom of the oceans. The resulting thermal expansion
"would continue to raise sea levels for many centuries after stabilisation
of greenhouse gas concentrations". Even if global warming is halted within
a century, thermal expansion will eventually raise the oceans by between 0.5
and 4 metres.
Even more alarming is the
fate of the ice that covers Greenland. Among all of the world's ice sheets,
this is now thought to be "the most vulnerable to climatic warming".
It contains enough snow and ice to raise sea levels by about 7 metres if it
melts. And this looks increasingly likely to happen.
Models show that after any
warming above 2.7 °C, "the Greenland ice sheet eventually disappears".
Nearly all predictions show Greenland warming more than this, says the report,
and the faster the warming, the faster the melting. An extra 5.5 °C would cause
sea levels to rise by 3 metres over a thousand years. An 8 °C warming would
cause a 6-metre rise in sea levels in the same time.
The report's authors are
not allowed to discuss their findings until publication. But Jonathan Gregory
of Britain's Hadley Centre for Climate Prediction and Research in Bracknell,
who co-authored the chapter on sea level, told New Scientist recently that once
under way, the disintegration of the Greenland ice sheet would be
"irreversible this side of a new ice age".
The fate of the West
Antarctic ice sheet, which is perched on submerged islands, remains
controversial, says the report. If it melted, it would raise sea levels by a
further 6 metres. Some experts quoted in the report predict that the sheet
could entirely disappear within 700 years. Others, supported by the authors,
expect that the sheet will contribute "no more than 3 metres" to sea
level in that time.
If sea levels were 10
metres higher than today by the year 3000, it would cause the inundation of a
total area larger than the US, with a population of more than a billion people
and most of the world's most fertile farmland.

Contrary to popular
belief, and certain speculations here, the plain simple fact is, ther ARE no
paradoxes. There never have been and there never will be. The term itself is an
oxymoron and an invention of the intellect of the human mind, in search of
creative thought and outright fantasy. The Universe exists without either the
need for, or possibility of them.
Once one comes to this
simple realization, one can then put the concept of "Time Travel" in
IT'S proper perspective. Namely, that as is usually thought of, it doesn't
exist. Never has, never will. For the simple reason that our invented concept
of time itself is fundamentally flawed. Time is not an entity. It is a unit of
measurement invented by man, to define the interval between cause and effect.
Like Meter. Or Yard. Or Foot. Or pound. Can we "Meter" travel? or
"Foot" travel? Or perhaps "Acre" travel? Gets silly doesn't
it. Why does anyone think you can actually "Time" travel?
Interesting that the so
called "Twins Paradox" was not discussed in depth here, but then it's
really not a paradox at all. It is only beleived to BE one by people who do not
understand the simple laws of physics and the Theory of relativity.
If anyone is interested, I
can show you how it CANNOT be a paradox. Unless you already know. In which case
you wouldn't be here speculating on the "how" of something that
doesn't exist in the first place.
It isn't that Time Travel
is not possible, it's that there is NO SUCH THING in the first place. Never has
been. Never will be. Like the Gods of MT. Olympus. Or the Fire Breathing
Dragons of old. And Pegasus. Or the Earth as the Center of the Universe. It's
mythology. Based on INNOCENT ignorance. It's a skewed concept created by a lack
of understanding of the fundamental Theories of relativity (General and
Special), in the first place.
And it doesn't require
"Multiple" Universes to solve. If there are multiple universes, than
there MUST be an INFINITE number of them. In which case, all things that have
ever happened, will happen, are happening Now. If THAT'S the case, what makes
anyone think they have anything resembling free will at all?
Alas, I'm afrid even THIS
attempt to resolve the so called "paradoxes" of Time Travel is also a
pursuit in search of what is a non-existant problem in the first place. Another
lapse into inventing a new mythology.

Checked out the picture

If the manual is leggit

conclusion, if not the correct conclusion, is that you are either in the employ
of the US Army or you stole the friggen thing. I hardly think you picked it up
for 20 bucks at the surplus store.
Looks like you've got a
little baby field model there, the owners of which would surely have bigger and
badder ones to come and collect it with. But you would know all about that.
What you might not know is that the people who actually run things around now,
will snatch you right out of your shoes at the first possible instant they get
wind of you and your ah....... thing.
The one thing that you are
REALLY REALLY NOT supposed to do is show up with something that might be
percieved to be "dangerous". You had better hide real good or get
lost, one.

What I need is one more prediction - you've predicted an American civil war in

like that. Something like, maybe, who will win the 100m in Salt Lake City.
Really, anything like that, if I see two predictions like that come true you

problem with most people who claim to time travel is that they have no evidence
to back it up. What I ask for would be enough evidence for me, and probably

For totally selfish
reasons I would like to know how one would communicate across time periods?
Think of the grief one could save themselves by simply by calling yourself at
6AM from 6PM and getting the lowdown on the days pitfalls.
It is tough for me to visualize
how, from our perspective, the future is frozen solid such that you could knock
around here for a week or two and yet scarcely a blink of an eye has passed in
2036.
If you want to get peoples
attention, it seemes to me that a pocket full of real US currency and coins
dated 2001 and up would cause a stir. It could be used as a standard test to
see who is braindead and who can add 2+2.
You speak of 1 & 2 %
"divergence" as being unimportant. I don't get it. Like for example
if OUR IBM5100 is 1% different than the code you have to run on it, it ain't
gonna work right. One percent in the FL vote count would be important. If I
could see only 99% of the cars on the road it would be important to me. So,
what exactly is X% divergent, and why is it not a major problem?

Shadow:
There is only ever one
"time period" to communicate in. This one. The "now".
In the classic so called
"twins paradox", the two are always in the same time line.
Visualize the traveling
twin doing this travel always in sight of Earth. Orbiting the Sun at near the
spped of light. He is always visible from Earth via telescope and radio.
Although there will be some doppler shifting in his image and radio signals,
communication is nevertheless still possible. Just difficult. He is traveling
for what seems to be his Earth bound twin's span of 50 years. During his
voyage, he ALSO counts the Earth rotating around the Sun 50 times! Yup. That's
the way it works. Yet when he finally lands back on Earth, he has aged only 5
years! Relativity has slowed his BIOLOGICAL clock, relative to his twin. Not
time itself. Just like it slows the atomic clock on the moving jet plane,
relative to the one left on the ground. Gravity has little or nothing to do
with it. It is the difference in RELATIVE velocity that produces what gets
measured as time dilation. The same is tru for the twins. Actually, neither
twin left the other's time line. Both were always in the same one. Both counted
50 revolutions of the Earth around the Sun, but the travelers biological CLOCK
ran slower. That's all.
There is no paradox. And
communiction across "time periods" is only ever communication across
the same time period.
Where I am now, it's 11:30
AM. But in Japan, it's 4:30 TOMMORROW MORNING. But me and the Japanese are
still in the same time line, time period (in the greater sense), and can
communicate with each other just fine.
The past has gone by. The
future hasn't happened yet. And all the near light speed travel or power
sources that alter matter can't change that. It's a rather fundamental law of
the universe.
Even Einstein only ever
said time running backwards during faster than light travel, MIGHT be possible.
He NEVER said for sure that it was true or for certain WOULD occur. And even
withdrew further and further from this original position as he got older.
In the pure scientific
sense, we need to always be vigilant as to the difference in what constitutes
hypothesis, and what constitutes theory.
Good science always tries
to DISPROVE hypothesis. Not prove it. Failure to DIS-prove it is what then
results in what becomes evolving theory. And still only theory at that.
Enjoy.

It is thought that being
close to a gravitational field has a biological effect on all matter including
cells. The effect is to slow the movement of electrons in the orbits of their
nucleus which thus slows the mechanical and bilological functions of the
observer close to the gravity.
Thus the passing of time
is a local phenomenon depending on how close you are to a gravitational source.
This is one example of a
theory involving "time shells" progressing in size and intensity
around a gravitational point from all matter. The more massive the object, the
larger and more influencial the time shells around it (like an onion). Another
offshoot of this theory is that kinetic energy is actually the conversion of
stored energy in the atom as it passes through time shells in a gravitational
field.

Here's the way I see it if

mad dog banana split travel then I will just get on with it. I don't need you
to tell me I can't. Heck if I want to pretend that I'm Superman and fly around
the sun 50 times to save Lois Lane........oh excuse me THAT ONE was YOUR idea.
We got a guy on here whom
I believe to be an actual time traveler, somebody that knows about gravic
shells. artificial singularities, computers and the history of the next 36
years. Somebody who has "been there done that" and I don't really
want to hear you spouting off about what you learned in 6th grade science
class. I took the same class 35 years ago. Here is a news flash for you;
Einstien was out of date 60 years ago.
You say there is no
possibility of any time paradox ever occuring. How in heck would you know? Even
if you are right on this one, its a lucky guess on your part. You don't know. I
don't think you could think your way out of a paper bag.
You said that it is
"tommorrow in Japan". Does that mean that it is yesterday in Spain?
Good grief, get a grip. If you would think a little more yourself, maybe you
would be less inclined to tell everybody else how to do it.
I do advise however, that
you could stick around and learn something.

Shadow,
I have to hand it to you
that was funny!bananna split travel...hehheh
your a good person I can
tell.
I personally cannot
understand why someone posts on a timetravel web site that doesnot beleive time
travel is or ever will be possible. but Im glad they do because I do learn
things from them.
I think it a little
humerous..... although it would be foolish to beleive everyone that says they
are a time travler that shows up on here, and we have actually disproved
several fake attempts. I beleive if a real time traveler actually showed up...
nobody would even beleive them. there is only a couple of people on here who
even asked this guy questions. even though this web site gets an average hit of
about 98 people in a 12 hour period.
how could you ever come to
the knowledge of the truth if you dont ask questions?
my question is....do we
really beleive time travel is possible or do we have to be one who experiences
a little of it first before we will even consider it?
Is time travel ever going
to be a possibility in our future? if the answer is yes but not for thousands
of years...well if they travel back to our time then it now becomes a
possibility in our time as well.
DaViper? why is it you
have not attempted to Disprove why the diagrams could not work?
why have you not argued
against the use of singularities? or why it could not be possible for him to be
here? Is it because you don't understand what it is you are seeing? I want to
hear the arguments why nobody beleives this could be a possibility ....dont any
of you people have an opinion?
In our current view of
things The possibility of it not being true is pretty high for a time traveler
to openly expose himself in this manner..but..what if in his world time travel
is not a secret?
In relating to a time
traveler from a future time may be like relating to an alien from another country,another
dimension or even another world. you first have to understand the environment
from which they came. depending on how far in the future it would be.. their
thinking would not be the same on certain issues because of how they were
raised in their environment.
I think it is as he has
said though that some people would not beleive it even if the machine was right
in front of them.
Just consider for a
moment.... what if it was true? what a great opportunity you have all lost.
sincerely,
pamela

And to add to that, what makes anybody so sure there hasn't been others? How

amazing how great the human mind is able to except new ideas. The (energy

Now then..
If i go back to the year
1960 and give the scientist community there a book on advanced electronics in
computers , would it not be that they would READ this book and design say, a
pentium 3 chip in 1960 that would forward our technology advances 40 years?
if that is so how would
this timeline be like? Would we have far better microproccessors here in 2000?
The materials needed to
produce a chip like the P3 for example were availiable (to an extent) in 1960.
So it would not be unheard of for me to jump back in time , give a book on
microprocessors to IBM and see what they come up with...
A thought...
Did anyone witness the
giant computer "boom"
of the late 60's? Computer
technology went from basic 286 processors to great big polygon crunchers in the
early 90's. In the space a short 10 years microprocessor speeds have doubled every
six months...
Technology is advancing at
an incredible rate which leads me to think that perhaps we were visited by
timetravelers in the 60's or thereof, in order to further the advancement of
the human race. How does one explain the massive technology jumps from the
moonlanding to our present time?
Seems to quick to go from
a 286 to a 1 GHZ...
I think we had help , but
thats my opinion.
Insights? Opinions?
Thankyou.

according to TT0,our
technology would not change in the least..you would return you your original
dimension and the book would(POSSIBLY) advance some other dimension's technology...

But if the parallel worlds
theory is true , that would make the book in question be relevant to ALL worlds
including the one i just came from...
Therefore that would make
technology jumps for all of the worlds, not just every dimension besides mine.
Perhaps it would evolve
differently for my dimension but there is still the fact that it WOULD evolve
because i went back and changed history for every world.
But....
that's my opinion...

I still say
"Something" of a very peculiar High Strangeness did occur in Roswell
in the fourties, and whatever it was, it had something to contribute to our
current Time-Line, which altered it indefinately.

You sold your 67' when you
got here?
how do you expect to get
back?!
Also, how have you
overcome the problem of housing , food , job ,social security number , tax...or
perhaps you are not here for that long.
Also how did you get on
the net and have access to a scanner to reproduce your work on the net?
So many questions and
things to do in this time..yet you have the time to post your C204 manual on
the web.
I am not trying to
disprove you Mr _0, but the people in power (pamela) urges us to ask relevant
questions surrounding your existence in this time. This world is run on the
economical side of things and i am just curious to how you happened to blend in
to "our" way of living.
The way i see it..is that
you MAY be a T.Traveller judging by your grasp on quantumn mechanics and your
vivid picture of the future but......
This world is run on the
basis of "guilty until proven innocent" Myself..i would like to believe
and your diagrams and schematics seem to confirm this. BUT there are skeptics
out there who might think your a looney as you have seen.
I myself believe in
timetravel and as the theory goes.." if , at any point in history we will
be able to T.T , we are being visited by others right now , from the
future."
If it makes no matter that
you are here telling us about your revolutionary new T.T device...what would
happen if we SUPPOSEDLY built a prototype ...as my argument would state about
the P3 and the 286..we would fast forward events in time.....36 years or so ,
with the development of a prototype c204 right NOW , using the skematics you
have given us.But as pamela said..."..dont any of you people have an
opinion?"
I am not out to shatter
your reputation on this forumn.. but i just want simple answers.

To: Dr. Light.
(You sold your 67' when
you got here?
how do you expect to get
back?!)
The unit is portable
between vehicles. It is very heavy and requires a "stiff" suspension.
The unit is currently in a 4WD.
(Also, how have you
overcome the problem of housing , food , job ,social security number , tax...or
perhaps you are not here for that long.)
I am currently living with
my parents on this world line. They know exactly who I am and how I got here.
(Also how did you get on
the net and have access to a scanner to reproduce your work on the net?)
There are numerous ways to
do that. Any local printing shop allows you access to a computer system.
(So many questions and
things to do in this time..yet you have the time to post your C204 manual on
the web.)
What suggestions do you
have?
(This world is run on the
economical side of things and i am just curious to how you happened to blend in
to "our" way of living.)
You don't think you could
blend into 1970? What difficulties would you expect to have that couldn't be
overcome?
BUT there are skeptics out
there who might think your a looney as you have seen.)
I have nothing to sell nor
do I want anyone to believe in me or take some action. What other people think
of me does not affect me in the least.
(If it makes no matter
that you are here telling us about your revolutionary new T.T device...what
would happen if we SUPPOSEDLY built a prototype ...as my argument would state
about the P3 and the 286..we would fast forward events in time.....36 years or
so , with the development of a prototype c204 right NOW , using the skematics
you have given us.But as pamela said..."..dont any of you people have an

What you do on your world
line is your own business. I can't think of any better way to start a war than
for someone to figure out how to make a time machine. Go for it.
(I am not out to shatter
your reputation on this forumn.. but i just want simple answers.)
I will be happy to answer
"almost" any question you have.

So Mr_0
Perhaps you would like to
explain to me how your parents fully understand HOW you got here , since you
are a T.T, you showed them you c204 and they believed you totally?
I do not know your age so
i am assuming that you would be over 40 years old.
How would your parents
react to seeing you in 2000 as a 40 year old man? That would surley be enough
evidence to show you are a true time traveller...
What exactly does the year
2000 have for you?
If you say the year 2005
is the war where 3 billion people die..you only have 5 years left then you will
merely whisk off to 2036 with your IBM 5100 p.c,leaving our timeline in ruins
and you would only be away for a few seconds...
What we do on our timeline
IS our own buisness ,but we would appreciate it if you do not jeopardize our
position here by giving someone the information/skematics to build a time
machine that you say would "start a war"
So what your saying is
that the development of the C204 is the reason the "war" started?
So why are you trying to
put us through your timeline and kill us too? Or are you trying to change
history here and hope it will work on the parallel worlds theory and turns out
well for you in the end?
As Pamela said you have an
obligation to this world line. We may be in infintley spaced world lines but
that does not mean you should put us through your problems too.
What if you never showed
up and gave us the skemtics? Are you trying to AVOID or START a war of massive
consequences?
Your argument is taken
entirely out of context when i compare it to my previous argument about the P3
and the 286 processor
"What we do is our
buisness" but you are here causing controversy and "hoping?"
perhaps someone does create the c204?
So you are willing to
sacrafice billions of lives and hope that everything is fine and dandy when you
get back.
If events DO change
here...they will change for you too.
BUT...
thats my OPINION.
Remember just answers
please..
Thanking you,
Dr P.Light
(p.s pamela ,your opinion
please)

Dr. Light,
There is a thin line
between question and accusation. I'm pretty sure TT-O DOES NOT check in here
seeking abuse or accusal.
The reason this board is
here is to determine the the plausabiliy and possible usability of time travel.
If there is no such thing, or even the perception that there is no time travel
and no time travelers then we need to unplug this board and for all of us to
'go home'.
The point is not is Mr.
TT-O for real but rather is what we THINK we are doing here for real.
As TT-O says how we take
care of our own time line IS OUR BUSINESS. Doing so in stark ignorance can lead
to problems for those who put a priority on getting through the day alive.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All of the questions asked
by Mr. Light have been answered in one way or another. I believe Pamela has
that information if she has not released it already.
You assume I am here to
start a war?
Consider this: You are a
time traveler who wishes to go back in time to 1941 because your grandparents
live close to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. You realize you can’t stop the war but
you may be able to help them prepare for it. Strangely, December 7th comes and
goes with no sneak attack. As the war in Europe rages on, Japan fails to join
the axis power, there is no war in the Pacific and the United States remains
neutral. Then, you watch as Germany begins to develop the atomic bomb… all by
themselves.
For a change, I have a
question for all of you. I want you to think…think very hard. What major
disaster was expected and prepared for in the last year and a half that never
happened?
As far as war goes, I have
faith you are quite capable of starting one all by yourself. I am hard pressed
to accept any criticism on my outlook on that subject. Growing up might have
been a vastly different experience for me than it was for most of you. Personal
responsibility, determination, honor, friendship and self-reliance are not just
words we try to live up to or fantasize about. On my world line, life is not
easy. We live in a world recovering from years of war, poison, destruction and
hate. All of it, courtesy of the thinking and actions of people that live right
now in the same world you do, worrying about which stocks to buy or whether or
not a stranger is lying to them on the internet. I believe that hardship and
challenge develop character and community. My first experience with war came
when I joined a shotgun infantry unit at the age of thirteen. In the 4 years I
served as a “rebel”, I watched hundreds of people get shot, burn and bleed to
death. I know exactly where I was and every detail of the exact moment the
first nuclear warheads began falling on Jacksonville. I know the pain and
regret of not acting soon enough to enjoy a relationship as a loved one dies of
brain cancer from a war that gained nothing.
How can you possibly
criticize me for any conflict that comes to you? I watch every day what you are
doing as a society. While you sit by and watch your Constitution being torn
away from you, you willfully eat poisoned food, buy manufactured products no
one needs and turn an uncaring eye away from millions of people suffering and
dying all around you. Is this the “Universal Law” you subscribe to?
Perhaps I should let you
all in on a little secret. No one likes you in the future. This time period is
looked at as being full of lazy, self-centered, civicly ignorant sheep. Perhaps
you should be less concerned about me and more concerned about that.

Think, think, think, what
major disaster didn't happen last year. No y2k computer meltdown! Are you
intimating that your people fiddled with time and saved us from that one? If so
how could I complain other than to say that MY y2k preperations in themselves
have turned into a MAJOR PERSONAL disaster that continues to this day.
Ky-sur-sur-rah, ay?
Reading your posts I get
conflicting ideas about what effect our timeline has on yours. Didn't you say
that "another you" was here now as a two year old child? Is the
'Everret Many Worlds' interpretation of quantum mechanics it the correct one
then? You seem to look at us as represenative of your ACTUAL predicessors.
There is something a bit unnerving about that. In fact the main reason why I
think you might be genuine is that I have trouble thinking LIKE you do. I would
expect this of an encounter with a "Chrono-alien".
It seems to me that there
would be some effect from one parallel world to another. Therefore what you do
in this time line would have at least INDIRECT consequences in all future
lines. The idea of many time lines I can 'get', but infinite ones? Perhaps on
the parallel axis they just keep getting more different until they are seen as
completly different alien worlds.
Is it possible to
communicate between times and parallel worlds without physically going to them?
Im getting a little sick of talking to myself...ha ha ..(.I think).
So we are all lazy and
selfish around these times. Not exactly a news flash bud. Oh, did I leave out
ignorant too? Hey it fits the profile. The word you are looking for however is
POWERLESS. That is why we now, in general don't give a flying crap about what
goes on. There ain't nothing we can do about it aside getting out teeth kicked
in for tyring.
Let me put it this way.
The wrong people got all the money......already. The rest of us are mostly
concentrating on not starving or freezing to death. What do you want anyway?
The disaster you have suffered in your time (and ours to come I suppose) got
its start long long before today. We were warned decades ago......yeah now I
see your point.

complex computer systems, but can't reproduce a basic pc (IBM 5100). Or is it

did you use the lack of a computer system as an excuse to vist your family?

So if we are a bunch of

Do you like our artificial
foods? Or is it the meaningless piles of "junk" we churn out year
after year? Perhaps it is the choked atmosphere? And we also turn an
"uncaring eye" away from the millions suffering too?
Perhaps this time is just
like yours......
We still have war , hate
and all the above.
Humph. I didnt know that
what we think is so technologically advanced and superior ( myself excluded)is

I agree with Shadow.
Can we help but to eat

But another question
arises..
Do you think i am accusing
you? I meerly went and posted a message about my opinions on the subject.I
happen to strongly believe in Time travel and i also believe YOU.They are only
QUESTIONS as i have stated Mr_0. I also dont think you are here to start a war,
of all things. if it was for my family, i would go though time too.
Or else what would i be
doing here?
As soon as anyone here on
this forumn starts talking in terms of "not believing you" you get
aggravated? I dont wish for that to be.
These are questions , and
nothing more. Tell me if i have hit a soft spot. Im not trying to but it might

What Can we do to help you
here in this time line. Who is responcible for the disaster to come? Can you
tell us if the world has been unified under one single goverment in your time.
To you have the means to calculate interactions over the range of the universe
so that to enable which alterations need to be made at which points in the
present universe at given times in order recreate an optimal time period for
yourself when you return. Remeber this no matter what generation one goes to
their is alwas trechory for it is sin in the human race that enables such
degradation. What do you think about our time period? Have you tried any of our
fast food? What technologies were lost as a result of the war? Who won the war?
My favorite junk food is M&M's. What ebergy source did you use for your
traveling technique. Did you use acceleration or compression as a stabilizing
force. How did you overcome the temperal turbulence caused by the affects of
time dialation? Was topology a big part of it? Are you seeking to return to a
parallel dimension? In the present. Has anyone actually created a true
interdimensional device. Or has only parrellel frames past frames been abtained
within the worldline of the negative universe? What do you need to fix your
ship? Has your resurfacing in the past resulted in the creation of a parallel
entity as a result of the transfer of a phantom point of entity equivalence
across the intersimensional barrier resulting in the abstraction of an existant
entity out of the fractional entity less then zero. Have you figured a way to
counter this energy?

Pamela: 1.What exactly
would an observer see as they saw you arriving in this
time? and exactly what
would they see as you departed? would you just appear
suddenly or slowly? would
you look like a heat mirage for awhile? any
light effects? or hazy
misty shimmering distortion?
Time travel_0- The
observation of time travelers "appearing" suddenly in a world line do
not happen very often. There are two cases and two points of view to consider.
In the first case, the time machine does not move as it goes from one world
line to another and then returns. The people watching on the original world
linewould wave good bye and watch as the machine is turned on.
There would be a static
discharge and the air would appear to "ripple" as if it were getting
denser. Then, it would stop and the machine will have appeared to have gone no
where. If the machine doesn't move its position from world line to world line,
the observer would not see it disappear at all. In the second case, if the machine
is moved, it would disappear from the viewpoint of the observer and return in a
different location based on where it was moved and turned on from the
destination world line. In that case, the rippling seems to dissolve the
machine and it disappears. If that happens while you are watching it leave and
you expect it to return, you know it was moved or had a serious malfunction. It
is actually quite dangerous to get too close to a distortion unit as it enters
or leaves a world line. It vents radiation and has a very strong localized
gravity field. Personally, I worry about that a great deal.
Pamela:2.What is the
dimension of the field around the car? How many feet out from the car would you
say it goes?
Timetravel_0-It can be
adjusted to some degree. The CG (center of gravity) is adjustable within about
4 feet and the unit is effective about 10 to 12 feet in either direction from
there. The vertical distance is quite a bit shorter and is determined by
sensors in the unit.
Pamela:3.approximately in
inches how much of the ground is taken with you in one trip?
timetravel_0-Depending on
weather or not you are going forward or backward, the footprint of the unit is
different. I wouldn't quite say it "scoops" up the ground cleanly. It
sort of vibrates it loose and takes it along for the ride. It looks like
someone raked the ground an inch or so deep with a small hand hoe or shovel.
The negative ergosphere "scoops" up the front and back areas of the
field. The positive ergosphere leaves a longer area near the center of mass.
Its about a cubic foot of dirt spread out over six square feet or so.
Pamela:4.If they put the
device in a house and turned it on what do you think would happen?
Timetravel_0-It might not
be as destructive as you think. Depending on how close any object is to the
field, it might not do any damage at all except for the floor.
Pamela:5.what would happen
to a bird or small animal that ran across the field right when it was producing
the field to travel?
Timetravel_0-It would be
quickly spread out over the lateral length of the gravity field. Imagine being
squished and stretched at the same time. I would imagine anything left after
that would be vaporized and generate static electricity.
Pamela:6.how hot would you
say the temperature gets on the outside of the car while in operation?
Timetravel_0-Very! hot.
Depending on the power setting, 100 to 120 degrees is average.
Pamela:7.is the car in
drive mode when the device is activated or is it totally turned off?
Timetravel_0-The car is
off and the brake on.
Pamela: 8.has the device
been tested on ships and airplanes?
Timetravel_0-Not that I'm
aware of. Its important that it remain as still as possible so the gravity
sensors can get a good lock. The divergence confidence would be way off if the
vehicle was moving.
Pamela:9.do you wear
special uniforms when you time travel? what do they look
like and does your group
have a timetravel emblem or group name?
Timetravel_0-I wear a
standard civilian service uniform during instruction and training.
Its sort of a cross
between an army uniform and overalls. We do have a
quarter master who
distributes clothing appropriate to where
ever we are going. There
is a patch. It is round and has a graphic of a
Kerr singularity (sort of
looks like an eye with gravity waves around it)
with two spiral paths
running through it's center. One path represents the
"safe" way and
the other is the path to God. The bottom of the patch has my
unit number along with
"Temporal Recon" printed on it. However, we remove
any identification and
patches before we go anywhere.
Pamela:10.Can you tell us
what you know about the famous Philadelphia experiment?
timetravel_0-I am aware of
the basic story but I don't have any other information to
prove or disprove it.
Pamela:11. How long do we
have to talk to you before you leave?
timetravel_0-I'll be
around for a while yet.

TimeTravel_0:
I have been looking over
your time displacement unit and find it interesting.
This is a list of the
basic components as I see it.
1. Singularity drive
houseing.
2. Singularity magnetic
field coil.
3. Magnetic field
generator / regulator.
4. Electron mass injection
manifold.
5. Electron regulator.
6. Electron condenser.
7. Singularity ??? senser.
8. Singularity cooling
housing.
9. Singularity cooling
pump.
10. Singularity cooling
supply.
11. Gravity senser unit.
12. Battery supply.
Can you verify these
components?
What type of senser is
number seven?
Why are the four atomic
clocks not shown?

(Can you verify these

That looks correct. I must
apologize for the poor quality of the information. There's a running inside
joke about the technical issues. If the unit has a serious problem its not as
if anyone can use those drawings to take the electron manifold off the
singularity housing with a flat head screw driver.
(What type of senser is
number seven?)
That sensor detects
various parameters from the singularity.
(Why are the four atomic
clocks not shown?)
There is another page that
depicts the computer and clock systems. That technology is not new and not very
interesting.
There is a cut-a-way
drawing of the entire unit that I will probably post before I leave. I'll send
it to Pamalea.

get used to some of the communication patterns I have come across here.
Confusing conversational conflict for anger seems to be a common and typical
problem. Why does the expression of differing emotion seem to threaten so many
people? I do not feel accused nor was I trying to accuse anyone. Your opinions
are as valid as anyone’s and I do not suggest you change them because of
anything I say. I never said I was here to start a war although I have strong
opinions about what a war would do for you. I am not aggravated by words.
Imagine you are Jewish and
you are able to travel back in time to Germany in 1935. All around you are the
patterns of thinking and action that will lead to a great deal of harm, death
and destruction in just a few years. You have the advantage of knowing what
will come but no one will listen to you. In fact, they think you’re insane and
the situations you describe could never happen.
What I feel is not anger,
it is sadness that you can not see what I see.

To: IIIIIIIIII
I appreciate your offer
for help but I am quite alright. The responsibility for the “disaster” is your
own but I do not consider it a disaster. Rebirth is often painful. My world
line is not unified under a single government but I would say it is closer to a
unified purpose. Isn’t that what you want anyway? No, I do not have the ability
to make calculations that would effect world lines to my advantage. Besides the
fact that manipulating people for personal gain is wrong, I am of the belief
that it is best to make the world line you are on now better.
I like the incredible
freedom you have on this world line but I see it as a trap and I fear the cost
is the loss of your sense of connection with family and community. Yes, you can
self actualize your ambitions but at what cost to the people around you…or yet
to be born? The incredible availability of art, literature and limitless
resources is hardly taken advantage of as I imagine the number of people
sitting in front of their TVs.
No, I have not tried any fast
food. Thinking about where the food came from, how it was shipped and treated
absolutely terrifies me. I have tried to tell people about CJD disease and it
seems to be “catching on” in Europe.
Technologies themselves
are not lost but some of the older tools and techniques have been lost. I think
there is more detailed information about the war posted earlier. The energy
stored in the singularity is used to create the distortion fields. That energy
is created in a particle accelerator. I’m not sure what you mean by “temporal
turbulence”. What effect would that have that would need to be overcome?
When I leave, I will
return to 2036. The computer I have is expected there. I am unaware of any
“true” interdimensional device available on this world line now. I would image
the effects of such a device would be hard to hide.
My “ship” is not broken. I
am here by choice. Don’t you find current events interesting? Again, I’m not
sure I understand your last question. Perhaps we should agree to the
definitions of a few terms and basic physics before I try to answer that.

to TT_0 and the currious
The fact that better
equipment is supposed to get the reverse-time traveler closer to their actual
past indicates that there is an ACTUAL SPECIFIC past that he is aiming for. So
if in practical application the traveler ends up 2% divergent upon arrival in
the past and if he stays in that line he finds that it is not a line at all,
but that going forward, divergence approches infinity. If this is so, the only
way to get back to ones' original future is to have left some kind of specified
object or condition there as a marker. Reverse time divergence is an artifact
of the machine you use and not a built in natural law of physics.
In this idea the past is
exactly behind you and the future is always and litterally "right around
the corner", It also suggests that the self is fractionalized over several
to many parallel time lines eventhough we may only *realize* one line at once.
Organic psyche may be what LIMITS divergence (of time lines). Also if this
theory is correct we may be 2% divergent from TT_0 but going forward in this
time line he is 98% divergent from us. My logic is pretty good here, how's my
facts?

To the reader: feel
fortunate you are reading this I had a hard time posting it hopefully it will
appear this time. More questions from me to Timetravel_0 and his answers.
(can you tell us which of
our foods are poison and why?)(What can we do to prepare ourselves for the
coming war.)
I tried to consolidate
your questions into a basic list. I hope this helps.
1. Do not eat or use
products from any animal that is fed and eats parts of
its own dead.
2. Do not kiss or have
intimate relations with anyone you do not know.
3. Learn basic sanitation
and water purification.
4. Be comfortable around
firearms. Learn to shoot and clean a gun.
5. Get a good first aid
kit and learn to use it.
6. Find 5 people within
100 miles that you trust with your life and stay in
contact with them.
7. Get a copy of the US
Constitution and read it.
8. Eat less.
9. Get a bicycle and two
sets of spare tires. Ride it 10 miles a week.
10. Consider what you
would bring with you if you had to leave your home in
10 min. and never return.
(Can you tell us exactly
what event started the war? Is there any way we can
stop it?)
The war is a result of
faulty politics and desparation from Western
leadership during the US
civil war. Yes, I suppose you could stop it.
(Are some states or
countries safer than others?)
Take a close look at the
county by county voting map from the last
elections.
(Did they use biological
and chemical weopons in the war besides nukes? Did
they use mind control
weopons?)
Yes there were bio and
chem weapons used. No mind control weapons but there
are new
"non-leathal" weapon systems that turn out to be quite leathal.
( Have you discovered the
cure for cancer or aids yet?)
Aids...no. Cancer...some
progress.
(If our leaders of this
world line were reading this posting and beleive who
you say you
are........what would you say to them right now?)
Revel in your confidence
today because you will not win tomorrow.
(What is the main message
you want to convey to us at this time?)
Please, please wake up.
Look at the sign posts around you now.
(Can you explain this
further when you talked of your patch and the two
spirals one was the
"safe" way and one was the way to God. Can you expound
on that I didnt quite
understand it.)
The safe way is the one
calculated to take you in time where you want to go,
the other path will take
you to God (death). Both are equally accepted and
anticipated before each
trip.

Just a quick question
before i jet,
Does the events happening
in the Middle east concerning the Arabs and Jews have anything to do with the
coming war? I mean to say that since the jewish population seems to have quite
considerable power now in 2000, would they mount a force against other
countries or am i under the beief that the war will result from the U.S

On another previous note,
You must understand that
we cannot just willingly give in our skeptisism just because a person comes
onto a bulliten board and announces that he/she is from 2036?
Tell me T-T_0, when you

Dear Time0,
if one found a method to
pryapart a magnetic field would this result in a containable release of energy.
Would the energy channeled through the tear be in the form of a tachyon field
with the forward edge of the tachyon field at a velocity of light. Would the
internal tachyons within the tachyon field have a velocity greater then light
even though existing in the present subluminal time frame?

Time travel has been
taking place for thousands of years.
The foremost device used
was the pyramids around the world
used by ancient
civilizations. This was for time travel and not so much as a burial site as
commonly believed. The physics behind this is the sacred geometrics of the
pyramid shape.
The geometric shape of the
pyramid allows for the concentration of "White Light" as well as
"Dark Light".
The dark light was
conduited from the area in the pyramid know as the "well" which no
one could understand its use as it is a hole that suddenly stops with no
apparent purpose
or use.
Above the King's Chamber
are huge layered stomes with air spaces. One side shiny and smooth and the
other side dark and rough. This is a capacitance machine for the separate
collection of the 2 light
sources.
These 2 light sources, one
coming from the earth and the white light from the cosmos above criss crossed
but did not intersect each other at the point of the sarcophagus. This
technology allowed for time travel and the opening of the "third
eye".
As well, the design of 2
pyramids intersecting base to base
to give you the design of
the 6 point star, (or the star of david), is the sacred symbol and geometry to
enter into zero point time or Christ Consciousness.
There are modern day
devices that impliment these principals
for time travel.
By having your own brain
operating at the same harmonic frequency as obtained through man made devices,
can give you
the same ability to do
conscious time travel.

There is a fortelling of a

working Time Travel device...
What can you tell us would
happen to you, or anyone els who were to use your device, or another one
similar in capabilities to travel to the yr. 2012???-----------
(also I would like you to
tell us what you know, or have been told what takes place in "2112")
incidently, since it is
common knowledge that many events within our cosmos are cyclical, interesting
enough the "Photon Belt" returns to our solar system every 26,000
yrs. and in the given Time frame since it's last presence in our solar system,
that would place it's peak convergence upon us again at 2012 coincidence?

requsting the basic systems for a gravity distortion system that will allow
time travel. Here they are:
1. Magnetic housing units
for dual microsignularities.
2. Electron injection
manifold to alter mass and gravity of microsingularities.
3. Cooling and x-ray

4. Gravity sensors (VGL

Perhaps it is better to
understand if one understands that all fractional entities less then one is
equal to zero spacially and less then zero temperally when measuring the
temperal fractional entity in terms of spacial fractional entity known as a
plancs length. Of course I could be misinterpriting the definition of a plancs
length. Please feel free to correct me if I am incorrect in assuming that what
I have gathered as the definition of a temperal zero, and a spacial zero; and
the plancs temperal length, and a plancs spacial length as being the same
conscept: is wrong. Otherwise the ofore mentioned point of view ought to be
considered. (If there is any confusion as to what I am talking about please
have a look see under rgrunts time travel posting in order to aquire the basic

Thanks for the knowlege
Pamela. I really think that the design or basic model that Time-o gave sounds
legit but I think that if he could replace the particle accelerator with a an
electromagnetic device that uses only one kind of particle-a magnetic photon-
that the energy would be much more stable and easier to control. I also believe
that such a replacement would require much less accuracy and would be at the
minimum as efficient if not more efficient then the energy production that he
is intent on using. A gravity generator would also be just as affective in
extracting the necessary energy required to power the device. This will require
alot more effort such as discovering how to make a gravitational generator.

(What is the popular music
like?)
Most of the same music you
enjoy is available on archive. However the days of mega-stars playing multiple
track studio produced music and lip synching on a huge stage are pretty much
isolated to your time period. Like everything else, music is much less
centralized. The general trend is away from “computer generated” music and more
toward real people playing real instruments. Music is much more of a personal
experience. More people know how to read music and play together in small
groups.
(Are there any social
prejudices)
Yes there are. However, as
odd as it may sound, it serves a useful purpose in my time. First, you must
realize that your experiences with “prejudice” and mine are different. I would
characterize the intolerance you have here as a result of ignorance and fear. I
have observed that people with unfounded and irrational fears about their
fellow man in this time have the luxury of not having their beliefs tested.
After the war, much of the
prejudice you have now was swept away by simple necessity. People had to work
and fight together just to survive. This has a way of opening a person’s eyes
as to the value of fellow human beings.
What difference does the
color of a man’s skin make when you are both fighting against the same enemy to
survive or find water or grow food? On my world line, if a man doesn’t pull his
weight in the community, then we feel prejudice towards him as a burden to us.
This feeling of shame he experiences then makes him realize his
responsibilities.
(What is the health care
system like)
You would probably not
like it at all. I would compare it to what you see in Western movies. We do
have hospitals but there are more family doctors and house calls as compared to
what you are used to. There is no real organized health care. If you get a
serious disease, you die. This however has had a tendency to strengthen the
general genetic pool. Doctors are more concerned about things like broken legs,
snake bites and delivering healthy babies.
(What is the entertainment
industry like, movies, tv, radio, internet?)
Again, entertainment is
less centralized. There are “movies” and “tv” but everything is distributed
over the net and more people produce their own “shows”.
(How difficult is it for
someone to start from nothing and get a job and make a living for themselves?)
Very easy. If you can work
with your hands and get along with other people, you will always find work.
(If a group of people were
to travel forward in time to avoid a situation, would they be still be able to
live in relative peace? Or would they be looked down on for that? Should they
just keep that a secret to make things easier?)
From a physical standpoint,
I suppose that would work if you were trying to escape a natural disaster. But
you must consider that trying to “escape” by time traveling has it’s own
problems. I’m not exactly sure what you mean by being looked down on.
(I have been reading that
around 2011 there is some new world order-type government in place...TT0,can u
verify?)
On my world line in 2011,
the United States is in the middle of a civil war that has dramatic effects on
most of the other Western governments.
(Also,a while back(page 2
of the posts) you said something was wrong with UNIX in your time...what is
wrong?)
Yes…and with your’s too. I
have to believe there must be a UNIX expert out there someplace that can
confirm that. I’m not exactly sure what the technical issue is but I believe
some sort of UNIX system registry stops in 2038.
(Does the events happening
in the Middle east concerning the Arabs and Jews have anything to do with the
coming war? )
Yes.
(I mean to say that since
the jewish population seems to have quite considerable power now in 2000…)
I’m not sure what power
you are referring to.
(Tell me T-T_0, when you
first typed a message here announcing your arrival...did anyone believe you?)
I don’t know if anyone
believes me now. But you must realize that I don’t expect anyone to believe me
or does it affect me one way or the other. I enjoy these conversations too.
What would you expect a time traveler to say or do in your time?
(What do you cool the
singularity with?)
Very highly technical,
cooling stuff. [sorry, I don’t get much of a chance to be a wise guy ]
(How much more advanced
are the computer hardware and software systems in the future? )
Good question! I would say
the biggest difference is in the reliability of the hardware and software. It
absolutely amazes me how willing people are here to accept computer and
software failures on such a regular basis. I was very surprised to see how
prolific it is. You can look forward to very stringent manufacturing parameters
and programming discipline. Think back to the early days of the computer and
how much work and cleverness it took to fit those programs into such small
areas of memory. Has more and cheaper memory brought better programs or just
more programs?
As far as technical
specifics, I’m afraid I can not go into too much detail. However, I will tell
you that processor speed and memory size take dramatic leaps forward.
(if one found a method to
pryapart a magnetic field would this result in a containable release of energy.
Would the energy channeled through the tear be in the form of a tachyon field
with the forward edge of the tachyon field at a velocity of light. Would the
internal tachyons within the tachyon field have a velocity greater then light
even though existing in the present subluminal time frame?
inquisitively.)
Hmmm… I afraid my notebook
on Maxwell’s equations isn’t with me and I must say again that I am not a
physist. As far as tachyons goes, it’s my understanding that they can not exist
at all unless they are created and “traveling” faster than light. As far as
time travel goes, I’m afraid tachyons are mearly useful for describing various
quirky effects of strange matter.
Time 02112 has asked me
some questions that I must give further thought to. I will post again as soon
as I get a chance.

Hello TT_O!
I have read some of the
concourse up to the end of this topic’s dialogue. I find your answers to
questions posed, quite … um, shall we say … creative. To say the least you are
a very imaginative person.
I am not here debunking
your travels or to discount your stated technology, but I do have just one
question.
1. If your machine is
capable of traveling back through time from future earth to now, I wonder how your
vehicle landed on this earth at all? You obviously know that this earth and
your earth do not occupy the same quadrant of space. Our earth is rotating
along it’s axis at 1600kph and moving on an elliptical orbit around a sun in a
solar system which itself is circling and expanding the galactic center of our
galaxy which is itself ever-expanding outward. In truth your machine should
(but doesn’t) also have some kind of ‘warp’ capability incorporated in it in
order to go back in space to the point where we are now. It’s a wonder that
your vehicle didn’t end up in deep space or caught in the gravity well of some
other stellar mass. You would also need a life support system to sustain you
until you were within earth’s atmosphere.
Oh, I know that you may claim
to have access to galactic stellar cartography from this period of space and
time, but how would you account for the earth’s rotational speed as well as the
moon’s gravitation effect and lastly the avoidance of man made structures which
are not totally mapped even by our geosynchronus comsats of this day?
I’m not worried about
pieces of dirt within your temporal field or even the odd stray cat being
dispersed by your resulting static electricity, but I am curious as to how you
overcome all of these obstacles from the contoured seat of what you claim is just
a time machine?
Pamela seemed concerned
with the ‘go nowhere ripple effect’ that might occur when a time machine left
and then returned, but I find even that logic flawed. I maintain that a time
machine would imprint itself spatially upon a certain time period. Einstein’s
Theory of Relativity would dictate that even if you left in such a machine for
two minutes, this time would continue to advance and this world would still
move through space and rotate. Therefore a time machine would NOT appear to stand
still but rather would (depending upon the time interval) appear to suddenly
defy gravity as it disappeared and then, free of the gravitational momentum,
would reappear in near or far space. If you think my logic is faulty, then try
jumping high in the air from the back of a flatbed truck while it moves along
at freeway speeds.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I will try to answer all
of your questions however, I have noticed that there seems to be a difficulty
in entering a conversation in the middle. Most of the following questions I
have answered at length in previous posts. I understand how important it is to
have these answers when new people read portions of the posting but I find it
tiring to keep repeating myself. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
(I was just wondering who
won the Super Bowl in the year 2001?)
I do not answer questions
like this. Although I don’t really know the motivation for the question…I can
guess. If a time traveler had knowledge of your future, and you could only ask
one question, would this be it? 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?
(I have read some of the
concourse up to the end of this topic’s dialogue…. 1. If your machine is
capable of traveling back through time from future earth to now, I wonder how
your vehicle landed on this earth at all? You obviously know that this earth
and your earth do not occupy the same quadrant of space…. You would also need a
life support system to sustain you until you were within earth’s atmosphere…
and lastly the avoidance of man made structures…)
This is actually a very
good question that parts and pieces of the answer are scattered around in
previous postings. I am often surprised that it is not the first one asked. You
are correct, this problem is actually the most difficult part of time travel.
Although some of your assumptions about matter displacement are a bit off, the
problem is real. Inside the displacement unit are a series of very sensitive
clocks and gravity sensors. This system is called the VGL (variable gravity
lock). In simple terms, before the unit “leaves” a world line, it takes a base
reading of the local gravity and adjusts the Tipler sinusoid to “lock” into
that position. Although the tmporal physics of this statment are wrong, in
effect, it holds you to the “Earth”. During travel, it periodically checks to
see that the field has not varied. If it does, it stops and reverses course or
drops out at that point. Buildings and other terrain features are avoided in
the same way. Yes, we do bring oxygen in the vehicle with us but we do not lose
atmospheric pressure.
(Pamela seemed concerned
with the ‘go nowhere ripple effect’ that might occur when a time machine left
and then returned, but I find even that logic flawed. I maintain that a time
machine would imprint itself spatially upon a certain time period.)
I’m not sure what you mean
by imprint?
(Einstein’s Theory of
Relativity would dictate that even if you left in such a machine for two
minutes, this time would continue to advance and this world would still move
through space and rotate.)
Yes that is correct.
(Therefore a time machine
would NOT appear to stand still but rather would (depending upon the time
interval) appear to suddenly defy gravity as it disappeared and then, free of
the gravitational momentum, would reappear in near or far space.)
Please see VGL system
above. Also, please be aware that from the viewpoint of the time traveler, the
displacement unit actually left and then returned. The viewer does not
experience this. Think of it as a Gosub statement in a computer program.

from an e-mail to
timetraveler_0 and his answers. (TTO-If any of this is different from what you
sent me please let me know.this is copied and pasted.)
>1. what type of money
system do you have on your world line? meaning how
do you buy and sell
things? Do you have the same type of money or do we have
a cashless society? such
as smart cards, credit cards or ID biochips.
Its not very different
than it is now. Yes, we have money and credit cards.
However, like everything
else, the monetary system is decentralized.
Banking is based mostly
around the community structure. There are no
multinational banking or
computerized economic systems. There are also no
income taxes.
>2. do you still use
radio transponders to ID your cattle and other farm
animals?
Some of the larger farm
communities use electronic markers and fences. I am
not a farmer so I don't
have very many details about that.
>3.Is the Global
Positioning Satellite system still in place around the
Earth?
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.
>4.Do you still have
the American Flag as your flag? does it look different
or is there a new flag?
Yes, we still have the
flag. There is a debate about changing it from 50
stars to 5.
>5.Is there some states
or areas that have new names ? is there a NewDenver,
Kansas by any chance?
Not that I can think of...
No major cities anyway. I am aware that some
smaller towns changed
their names after the war and most universities have
the word "fort"
before them on my world line.
>6. How many weeks of
training is required before you timetravel? to what
extent does the training
involve? Are you able to make basic emergency
repairs to the unit?
I started training on the
recommendation of my PS officer when I got out of
school in 34. I graduated
in March of 35. Actual hands on training started
soon after that and I left
2036 in April. No, there are not very many
repairs I can make to the
unit. The unit is built very well but the
tolerances are very small.
I could probably repair the electrical systems
and it will accept inputs
from older computers.
>7.Are you able to fish
or are the waters polluted from fallout from the
war?
Yes, we can fish. There
are some areas that are still too dangerous to
spend a lot of time in so
we can't fish in those areas.
>8.Are you aware of any
time travelers from our time or other world lines
that have entered your
world line? Have you spoke to any of them?
No I am not aware. But I
accept the possibility.
>9.What type of public
transportation is used to get around in your cities?
A high speed train system
connects the larger cities. Roads are still used
for cars and many people
ride horses and bikes.
>10. What things do you
think you will take back with you from this time?
Books! I'm also taking
copies of family photos that were lost during the
war.
>11. How many weeks
have you been in this world line? when did you arrive?
That I must keep to myself
right now.
>12. What kind of books
do you like to read? What kind of music do you
like? do you play a
musical instrument?
I read a great deal of
history. I like piano classics and some older rock
and roll. (why did that
type of music go so far down hill?) No, I don't play
any instruments myself.
>13.Are you concerned
about our government investigating you or trying to
seize you or your device?
Not really. In order to
find me, they would have to believe time travel is
possible.
>14. are you
videotaping or taking pictures of the events going on here to
bring back with you to
your time?
Oh yes.
>15. what is your
favorite food to eat? here and in your world line.
Its very hard for me to
find food here. It all scares the Hell out of me.
I've found a couple of
local farms where I am resonably sure the raw food is
safe and my mother started
a garden for me.
>16.does the cure for
cancer have any thing to do with genetics?
Again...I'm no expert. I
believe there is a great deal of progress in
treating the cancer cells
with modified viruses. So I guess the answer is
yes.
>17.Do you have an
increase in tornados and earthquakes than what we have
now? is the average
temperature in Florida in your time about the same as it
is here? or is it
different?
That's one area I've
decided not to talk about...sorry. The average
temperature worldwide is a
bit cooler.
>18. are any of the
other 7 time travelers with you in this world line or
are you by yourself?
No. They are off doing
something else I'm sure.
>19. are there time
travel web sites in the future? does this one still
exist?
Time travel is a major
point of social discussion. I'll have to check when
I get back. Most of the
larger servers that were in the major cities were
lost or destroyed. I'll
try to bring a copy back with me. Perhaps you can
check that in your 2036.
>20.do you feel any
connection at all to your other 2 year old self on this
world line? does it seem
like you or someone totally different? who does he
think you are when you
talk to him?
He calls me uncle. Yes,
there is a connection. He fells like a younger
brother. Sometimes I get
mixed emotions watching him and realize I'm
watching the origins of my
personality. I tend to playfully criticize my
father about that.

Reflecting upon the words
timetravler_0 has shared with me personally and what I have posted of some of
our conversations and watching the news everyday seeing what is happening now
in Florida and the courts has made me think deeply upon the United States and
the US constitution. What the US was founded on origionally.
I found a web site that
has the US constitution and the bill of rights here:
http://www.nara.gov/exhall/charters/charters.html
for anybody interested in
reading it.
I printed out the whole
constitution including the bill of rights and then sat down and read the whole
thing out loud to myself thinking deeply on the rights our founding fathers
were trying to protect.
For those of you U.S. citizens
who cant remember the constitution beyond the words,
"we the people."
its probably time to take another look.
You never know what the
future will be like.
or how it will change.
The future is up to
us.....
At the beginning of the
constitution the first three words "WE THE PEOPLE.." was written in
large letters on purpose.

TT-O,
Could you elaborate on my
previous questions..
I.E
How and why do the
arabs/jews become entangled in the civil war of the U.S.A?
Also, about my previous
question.. If you would look around you may notice that jewish poeple seem to
hold "considerable" power concering major political positions both in
America and Israel. For instance the latest technology concerning
"defensive" technology
which you might think is
reserved only for the superpowers, somehow made its way into Israel's hands...
My point is that they seem
to be an "underhand" world power that no-one seems to recognise,(or
so it seems)
Also about the Arab side
of affairs, they seem to be holding Biological weapons and thermonuclear
weaponry. Do they end up launching these weapons against America or any other
power?
I hope that cleared up my
points somewhat.
Thanks,
Dr.P.Light

questions,
- Just wondering who
actually wins the US election, it's fair question and im assuming they have
Encyclopedia's in the year 2036 so you have no excuse for not knowing the
history of your own country?
- Secondly, thanks to
national pride I must ask what becomes of Australia during and after the war?
Thanks for your time.

Well…it looks like the
election is almost over. I have been quite busy in the last few days and I appreciate
everyone’s patience. I should be thanking you for listening and even if
everything I have said before means nothing, I expect it has at least been
entertaining. I went through the postings looking for questions I have not
addressed yet. I hope I got to all of them. I get my email remotely through
about three different systems and I use one of your hand-held computer units to
write with. In a few days, I would like to send Pamela a list of questions of
my own. As you know, one of my areas of expertise is in history and the
information I have gathered has been invaluable. Although I am not leaving
right away, I would like to include some of your thoughts in my report.
(Who's to say that someone
that will read this board, will be the one to actually invent the means for the
C204 (or other units) to be operational? The divergence factor is so low,
everybody will forget about this in a short time. I wouldn't worry about it
When Timetravel_0 goes back, this will be nothing but a memory...)
This statement is quite
insightful. One of the reasons I have been communicating this way is so that
others that do not post who I have directed here can see some of the
information I have shared with you.
(You speak of 1 & 2 %
"divergence" as being unimportant. I don't get it. Like for example
if OUR IBM5100 is 1% different than the code you have to run on it, it ain't
gonna work right. One percent in the FL vote count would be important. If I
could see only 99% of the cars on the road it would be important to me. So,
what exactly is X% divergent, and why is it not a major problem?)
The divergence measurement
refers to the local gravitational field as compared to the point of origin. It
is mearly an empirical indicator of overall change in a world line. Some things
that are quite different on one world line have very little effect as time
passes and the world lines appear to “converge” again and look very similar.
World line changes are not exponential, they act more like chaotic attractors
with varying effect depending on their size and location.
(Reading your posts I get
conflicting ideas about what effect our timeline has on yours. Didn't you say
that "another you" was here now as a two year old child? Is the
'Everret Many Worlds' interpretation of quantum mechanics it the correct one
then? You seem to look at us as representative of your ACTUAL predecessors.
There is something a bit unnerving about that. In fact the main reason why I
think you might be genuine is that I have trouble thinking LIKE you do. I would
expect this of an encounter with a "Chrono-alien".)
You are correct in your
thinking. This world line is not mine but it looks very similar. It may be
compared to reading two books that are the same. I can jump back and forth
between them and still see the same story. I do not consider you true
representatives of my world line but I do know something of how the story ends.
In consideration of Everret-Wheeler, the reason we don’t know if Schrodinger’s
cat is dead is because it might have had a time machine.
(Russia has
"ALWAYS" been considered the first Country, to be suspect of a
probable Nuclear Attack against the USA, and I, for one have NEVER relinquished
the thought that inevitably, this will happen while I remain alive to witness
this unfortunate tragedy come to fruition.)
You are also correct but I
want to add a twist to your thinking. Russia’s enemy in the United States is
not you, the average person. Russia’s enemy is the United States government.
(The fact that better
equipment is supposed to get the reverse-time traveler closer to their actual
past indicates that there is an ACTUAL SPECIFIC past that he is aiming for. So
if in practical application the traveler ends up 2% divergent upon arrival in
the past and if he stays in that line he finds that it is not a line at all,
but that going forward, divergence approaches infinity.)
Yes, this is true. If I go
forward on this world line, the future will not be my future. I get home by
going back to 1975 before I arrived and then going forward to 2036.
(Also if this theory is
correct we may be 2% divergent from TT_0 but going forward in this time line he
is 98% divergent from us. My logic is pretty good here, how's my facts?)
Your deductions are quite accurate.
(I’m not stating yet that I did… but) what if I told you I did go forward to
“your” 2036 and it looks nothing like mine. It is quite possible.
(BTW Someone just gave me
a working IBM 5160. Should I save it or toss it?)
Toss it. The 5100 is the interesting
machine.
(Does the events happening
in the Middle east concerning the Arabs and Jews have anything to do with the
coming war? I mean to say that since the Jewish population seems to have quite
considerable power now in 2000, would they mount a force against other
countries or am I under the belief that the war will result from the U.S
government election?(among other things).)
Real disruptions in world
events begin with the destabilization of the West as a result of degrading US
foreign policy and consistency. This becomes apparent around 2004 as civil
unrest develops near the next presidential election. The Jewish population in
Israel is not prepared for a true offensive war. They are prepared for the
ultimate defense. Wavering western support for Israel is what gives Israel’s
neighbors the confidence to attack. The last resort for a defensive Israel and
it’s offensive Arab neighbors is to use weapons of mass destruction. In the
grand scheme of things, the war in the middle-east is a part of what’s to come,
not the cause.
(What can you tell us
about
"Space Time
Transposing" ?)
Perhaps you could describe
what you mean? It appears to be space travel or the effect of similar atomic
particles that seem to be related over great distances. Again, please forgive
my ignorance, I am not a trained physist.
(There is a foretelling of
a significant Time Divergence that is believed to occur during the year 2012
according to the ancient Mayans, yet you claim to be from 2034, and posses a
working Time Travel device... What can you tell us would happen to you, or
anyone else who were to use your device, or another one similar in capabilities
to travel to the yr. 2012???----------also I would like you to tell us what you
know, or have been told what takes place in "2112")
In my 2012, I was 14 years
old spending most of my time living, running and hiding in the woods and rivers
of central Florida. The civil war was in its 7th year and the world war was
three years away. Yes, there are unusual events in 2012 but they do not cause
the world to end. Unfortunately, I have decided not to discuss events that you
or I can do anything about. It is important that they be a surprise. Perhaps
you are familiar with the story of the Red Sea and the Egyptians?
(It’s no big secret among
those who are "In the Know" of our current world line’s attempts to
control the weather i.e. HAARP & Chemtrails, so What can you tell us about
the future of weather control such as the following...
bronze flying globes that
float in the air over the earth, and are aligned in grid formations, and lasers
joining them together in the air, churning out snow storms, rain, or whatever
else they decide to induce, to be created in the given space provided???)
I must admit I am
unfamiliar with most of what you have asked here. I am aware of the Harp system
but I don’t know how they would control weather with it.
(What is the education
system like? For children? For adults? Is there more home schooling then there
is now. What are the class sizes like? Is there any emphasis on a subject or
subjects that are don't exist now?)
The education system has
been through many changes. School in 2036 is no longer a political
indoctrination system and students “learn how to learn”. Since community
activity varies from place to place, the emphasis on basic reading, math and
language is augmented with skills particular to the community. One school may
emphasis farming while another teaches woodworking. Having children is a bit
different and less common in 2036. A typical school day involves a setting very
much like it was 100 years ago with smaller classes and few administrators to
teachers. Other areas of study that are less common now are history,
citizenship and personal economics.
(Are you going to take
your family away with you to protect them from the coming events. Is this a
temptation for you? Aren't you worried about somebody finding your ship?)
No I am not taking them
with me but I am trying to prepare them for the future as a promise to my
Grandfather in 1975. I am not really that concerned about the “time machine”.
It is quite safe.
(How and why do the Arabs
Jews become entangled in the civil war of the U.S.A?)
They are not directly
involved but political situations are dependant on Western stability, which
collapses in 2005.
(Also about the Arab side
of affairs, they seem to be holding Biological weapons and thermonuclear
weaponry. Do they end up launching these weapons against America or any other
power? )
Not against America but
they are used against each other.
("Show me the
money!" More impressive than the pix of your TT machine would be a clear
photo of your post 2000 pocket change and paper currency.)
I am disappointed that you
feel I am trying to impress you. Why would I bring money from 2036 with me?
Besides, isn’t that something that could easily be faked? Now if I told you I
was your cousin’s brother and I knew about that scare on your left leg…that
would convince you.
(while your at it, why not
give us all a video, and provide us with a Link that would allow us to watch
online, demonstrating your machine in use?
(perhaps as a parting
gift.)
That is an interesting
idea. I will look into how to do that.

While your at it TT_0,
don't forget to place a v-cam inside with you, so we can observe the video
images that appear through your eyes as you travel, as well as another
observing yourself, and a third one outside of the field, observing you depart,
and return.
I'm talking 3 V-Cams, to
give us these different observations with, which means you have to leave &
return to us, to deliver the images.
This would be more
valuable than giving us picture of future money, also it would really be way
cool, if you could send us video images of the earth below, while observing
from an aircraft, what this future landscape of yours looks like, after this great
flood of the East & Western U.S. coastal areas that is supposed to take
place.

TT_O, an easy example (or
proof) would be to video tape the jump to 1975 and give the video recorder and
tape to your self (the you that has already been there/just arrived). That way
you don't have to jump back and fourth. The video tape and recorder would then
be availible to you now. you could send the tape to someone (when you leave, we
don't need any more time-loops).That way there is no danger of divergance in
this time-line. Just a thought.

Dear timetravel-0,
Do you believe in the lord
Jesus Christ as your personal saviour? Would it be safe to assume that the
substance of time itself might be classified as the sum of two equal opposite
forces acting in direct canscelation? If the person or persons responcible for
the development of time travel technologies were posting on this sight would
you let them know that they were or are responsible. If so would you do so
directly or would you hint it only. Or would you use a third option that is to
be careful not to say anything that would point out the person or persons
responsible neither to the persons responsible themselves nor to the other
persons that are on this forum? In short will you say something a coded message
that the person or persons responsible only will be able to pick up on or recognize
to know that they are the ones responsible for the development of the
technologies. It can be anything that the person or persons will recognize as
indisputable evidence not as your being valid but as them being the ones
responcible for the development? If you are not willing to answer this please
just be straight forward about this and answer that you are unwilling to let
the persons no who they are. If you have any questions as to my identity ask
pamela for she knows who I am and is free to oblige you the information. If you
wish to answer this privately even if the answer is no fill free to e-mail me
at rgrunt@yahoo.com . I believe that is all the questions I have for know
please have a good trip back and thanks for visiting our time line it has been

questions to everyone on the forum that he sent to me. )
TTO:
Sure thing, here are your
questions. my answers follow.
sincerely,
pamela
Dear Pamela,
In my last posting, I said
I would come up with questions of my own and send
them to you to post. I
would appreciate it if you would do that and answer
them yourself. I would
like to include the opinions of the people I have met
in my report when I return
home.
Thanks for the help.
1. According to the
Constitution, who do you think has the final word on
choosing a President and
why?
2. Do you think the
Electoral College should be continued?
3. Why do you think the
Bill of Rights was written?
4. What is your opinion of
the second amendment to the Bill of Rights?
5. Does anyone know what
industry is the largest US political contributor?
6. Does anyone know who
owns the majority of the solar power research and
development companies?
7. Imagine you have all
the money and power you desire. What do you see
yourself doing?
8. What is the longest
distance you ever ran and/or walked at one time
without stopping?
9. What is the longest
period of time you went without food?
10. Do you know what Cholera
is and how to avoid getting it?
TTO:
To tell you the truth
politics never really interested me that much...until now. As I can see now how
the curruption of it can ruin an entire nation.
So I don't really have a
lot of info in that area. My interests were more in
Medical research and other
areas of science. Infact I only became interested in timetravel and quantum
physics because of the many experiences I started having as I have shared some
of those with you. But I will answer the best I can.(good thing I printed out
the constitution and the bill of rights! )
(1. According to the
Constitution, who do you think has the final word on
choosing a President and
why?
2. Do you think the
Electoral College should be continued?)
I think the people should
have the final word on who should become president.
whover has the most votes
should win.
(I had to go back and add
this...I think every last vote should count. absolutely none thrown out.a
system should be in place to eliminate ballots that cannot be read such as if
the chad is not fully pierced you should see a light blink and maybe a small beeping
sound heard to redo it. I think a whole new voting system is needed.)
(3. Why do you think the
Bill of Rights was written?)
To protect the rights of
the people and to keep them free.
(4. What is your opinion
of the second amendment to the Bill of Rights?)
I beleive it is to keep
the government from becoming corrupt and taking over and enslaving the people
under tyranny.
(5. Does anyone know what
industry is the largest US political contributor?
6. Does anyone know who
owns the majority of the solar power research and
development companies?)
sorry, I dont know the
answer to these two questions.
(7. Imagine you have all
the money and power you desire. What do you see
yourself doing?)
Hmmm, Im not really a
power, money hungry person. but if I had more money my heart will still be in
helping other people. The greatest joy is knowing you've made a difference in
someone elses life. That you played a part in creating a ripple of good that
ripples out from generation to generation. every time you help someone you not
only help them but every person they touch from that moment on. I'd probably be
more free to do more research. and make new and exciting discoveries. Id spend
more time doing things that mattered for eternity and not just to pay bills and
taxes. Id also be more free to learn,explore and grow. as well as helping
others do so.
one thing I would get
though...I would DEFINETELY get a new computer!! (HEEEHEE) mines a piece of
crap! I could stay on longer before it crashed or freezed up on me with an
error message!
(8. What is the longest
distance you ever ran and/or walked at one time
without stopping?)
hmmm without stopping at
ALL? I dont know.
I walked a 20 mile
walkathon once. (I think for cerebral palsy, or muscular dystrophy)
I dont think we stopped
much but we stop at the little boothes they had set up along the way to get
water to drink.
(9. What is the longest
period of time you went without food?)
4 days.
(10. Do you know what
Cholera is and how to avoid getting it?)
Cholera is an acute
bacterial infection of the small intestine.
The disease is caused by
water and food that have been contaminated by feces
of persons previously
infected. The symptoms are caused by toxic substances
produced by the infecting
organism which mostly causes watery diarrhea and depletes the body of fluids
and minerals.
How to avoid getting it?
There is currently a cholera vaccine available for people traveling to areas
where the infection is endemic.
Other preventive measures
you could take would include drinking only boiled
or bottled water and
eating only cooked foods.
Treatment includes
administration of antibiotics to destroy the infecting bacteria and to restore
the fluids and electrolytes with intravenous solutions.

pamela

If an advertisement is a
snow job then public education is a fullblown blizzard. We are for example
tought in high school that there are *THREE* branches of government. There are
*FOUR* branches of government in the US. The fourth being "We the People*.
To say that that fact gets "glossed over" would be quite the
understatement. Every citizen of the US is an official part of the the Official
Government. HOWEVER we get to vote only once every two years and it seems that
even then our overlings have a bit too much trouble "counting" the
votes.
What was the catch word

Question #7 What would I
do with plenty of money & power? First I build a bomb shelter, then think
about it.
Oh yeah, TT-0, just
supposing I do have a scar on my left leg, *exactly* where would it be located?
And wouldn't my cousins' brother just be another cousin?
You got me on the pocket
change. If one were not trying to prove anything I guess they would have left
their wallet in the future. But doesn't that mean that you would have to bring
some antique money back here with you? Like when I go to France I can buy
Franks when I get there. But if one were to exchange 2036 dollars for 2000
dollars ..... well lets just say they wouldn't be going anywhere for a while.
Ok, so gold is gold and
that would solve the exchange problem.

Some answers for TT_0:
1. According to the
Constitution, who do you think has the final word on choosing a President and
why?
I would say that the
senate could use article 1 section 3 and appoint a president pro tem. or they
can use the 20th amendment section 3. this could have been used in the recent
case and a run off election could have been done.
2. Do you think the
Electoral College should be continued?
Yes, it can disagree with
the popular vote. I thought the popular vote was more democratic.
3. Why do you think the
Bill of Rights was written?
To preserve order and
protect the people and to give them a sense of participation in the formation
of policy in government.
4. What is your opinion of
the second amendment to the Bill of Rights?
It seems as though I
suffer from being myopic as well, the right to bear arms is all I ever heard. I
think it has been taken out of context as an excuse to have a gun and do
anything you want with it. I think there should be some sort of responsibility
amendment.
5. Does anyone know what
industry is the largest US political contributor?
I thought it was the
tobacco industry.
6. Does anyone know who
owns the majority of the solar power research and development companies?
Other major power
companies, P.G.+E, Con Edison. Dow Chemical also is in there.
7. Imagine you have all
the money and power you desire. What do you see yourself doing?
Two things. Manufacturing
electric cars - the right way. Research in my own lab.
8. What is the longest
distance you ever ran and/or walked at one time without stopping?
Along time ago, 15 miles -
a walk-a-thon for muscular dystrophy. More recently, 1 mile to and from work. I
like to see the stars in the early morning while going to work.
9. What is the longest
period of time you went without food?
7 days, just to see if I
could. 24 hours no water no food, 168 hours no sleep. Not in that order and not
all at once :-)
10. Do you know what
Cholera is and how to avoid getting it?
Not sure on this one. I
think it has something to do with un-purified water. You would need to boil the
water or add a purifying agent to it.
Hows that Pam? :-))

TT-0
I think you know very well
the answers to the questions you have asked. You just want to guage the quality
of our replies, or just remind us that we SHOULD be up to speed on our
constitutional rights and responsibilities.
A young person should want
to survive and live for better days ahead. At some point, however, an older
person will realize, especially in the face of disaster, that better days are
NOT on the horizon.......ever. What you are forcasting for 95% of the present
population is 20 years of hell followed by survivors in the rubble. I've
already put in my 40 year shift of work and worry. Why should we fret over
politics on our way to slaughter? Isn't that like telling the Captain of the
Titanic, that all he has to do to save the ship is to back up really fast after
the collision?
It was obvious 5 to 10
YEARS ago that we've been SOLD OUT. For us, the game is over. I should offer an
excuse for apathy? It should do for a reason at least. Actually TT-O, maybe in
you we can see that eventually SOMEBODY finds their friggin guts and puts an

"Paradox", as an
English word, has it's origins in Latin and Greek.
But alas, it is still just
a word in any language, regardless of how it is spoken, ancient or modern. And
thus a verbal utterance that represents the conveyance of a concept. As all
words are.
Generally, it refers to
the "idea" of the existence of a problem that has no solution.
But again alas, this is
nothing but an invention of the mind of man. Nothing that actually occurs in
the Universe.
There are no paradoxes in
the Universe.
The so called
"grandfather" paradox has not, does not, and cannot ever occur simply
because the situation that defines it is not possible in the first place. There
is no past where/when your "grandfather" is "alive" for you
to ever encounter. Any more than there is a future where your
"grandson" travels back from to encounter you.
If there is "Time
Travel", it requires much more sophisticated concepts than this simple
non-existant "problem".
And...
The so called
"twins" paradox is actually not a paradox at all once one understands
the idiosyncrasies of Relativity. Many think they do, but few actually do.
Those who consider the "twins" paradox to actually BE a paradox, are
among those who don't.
Hint: Think about what
constitutes a "year", as opposed to watching the hands of your
wristwatch move. Remember, "year" is again a word that conveys the
concept of a single revolution of the Earth around the Sun.
Both "twins, the
Earthbound one AND the travelling one will still have lived in a Universe where
the Earth went around the Sun the SAME number of times.
The traveler's BIOLOGICAL
clock would run slower, as do physical clocks under the circumstances, but the
Earth will have orbited the Sun the SAME number of times from BOTH of their
points of view! Even while the traveler's watch ran slower.
Time dilation, as a proven
effect of differing relative velocities may be an unusual idiosyncracy inherent
in the properties of relativity, but...
There is no paradox here.
And it most certainly does
not constitute Time travel in and of itself.
There is no paradox
ANYWHERE in the Universe for that matter.
How could there be?
The very concept is itself
absurd. A mind game. A modernist mythology. Right up there with Jupiter
governing the Universe from Mt. Olympus, or Noah's Ark.
You believe in the
"Great Flood" perhaps. Gee, where did all the water come from?
(Descended from nowhere out of space?) Where did it go? (Evaporated back into
nothingness into space?) Do you have any idea how much water it would take to
cover the Earth up to the top of Mt. Everest and beyond? Or how thick the cloud
cover would have to be that contained the water that constituted the rain that
had to have fallen to make a flood THAT big?
About as much as it takes
to drown the idea that "paradoxes" actually exist, from my
calculation.
Peace.

Very interesting argument
but I have a couple of questions. You described the word paradox as, “…it
refers to the "idea" of the existence of a problem that has no solution.”
Actually, the #1 definition I read in the American Heritage Dictionary is “…a
seemingly contradictory statement that may nonetheless be true”,
Also, what exactly is your
definition of “time travel”? I was taught that time travel is strictly a local
observation that can only be measured by the experience of an individual or
single particle. Under that definition, the “twin paradox” (time dilation due
to acceleration or gravity) and even sleeping can be considered time travel.
You appear to be arguing against dematerialization and/or spacelike trips under
the limits of special relativity in a single worldline.
I do agree that the
“grandfather paradox” is not possible simply because the classic problem is
presented as an observer’s issue magnified to a universal issue. Your
statements about observation are correct when you isolate the experiences to a
single worldline. However, the reason there are no paradoxes is because the
universe doesn’t care how we react to its handy-work. In a Universe made up of
infinite worldliness (superuniverse), everything is possible and has a 100%
probability, therefore…no paradoxes.
“You believe in the
"Great Flood" perhaps. Gee, where did all the water come from?”
I believe the explanation
for the “great flood” stories originate with the changes that occurred near the
Mediterranean at the end of the last ice age. Even on this worldline, there is
a great deal of evidence to support the fact that sea levels did change
radically in isolated areas worldwide. I also heard someplace that if the ice
mass on Antarctica melted today, sea level worldwide would rise about 100 feet.
I’m not exactly sure that’s true but still… Mt. Everest might be a bit of a
stretch.
I do however agree with
you that there are no physical paradoxes but for the opposite reasoning.
Peace to you also.

Also flooding could easily
occur with monsoon rains lasting anywhere past 5 days in a region of low

saw a former Governor of Texas, Bush I believe, saying "I wish I were a

the effect of "You are aware of the fact that any resession that may come
along next year or so, is Bill's fault, really." FWEEEEET! Hey pal, can I

Yes, speaking of The
Flood. The real flood can't hold a candle to the flood of bull**** that is
commin down the pike these days. Are they TRYING to whizz us off, or do they
deserve an Oscar for acting as thought they were. There are other possible
explainations. Like Terminal Stupidity. Or the desire for population reduction
(you). Or how about creepy aliens, time traveling spooks, or maybe even that

Of coarse the screamingly

DaViper,
Just because you cannot
figuere out where the water came from for the Great Flood
is not a good enough
reason to conclude that it never took place.
In the ancient lore and
legend of every culture you will find a story of a disasterous flood. These
accounts vary but in distant parts of the world these stories agree on one
point. far back in history there was a catacylmsmic flood which wiped out all
but a handful of people.
From the indians of north
and south america to the Islanders of the Pacific and from the chinese to
atleast 40 aborigional races we find the elements of a great flood described.
Geologists of today all
over the Earth find a layer of sediment which gives evidence of a worldwide
flood.
There are several
different theories of where the water might have come from.
Here is the one I have
heard:
The Earth had quite a
different climate before and after the flood.
for in Geneisis 2:5-6 it
states that the lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth...but there
went up a mist from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.
They argued that Genesis
1:6 described God seperating the waters on the earth from the waters above the
Earth. which could describe a canopy of water vapor.Our Earth could have been
in effect a giant canopy enclosed garden watered by gentle mists which came out
of the ground from the reservoirs of water below the surface.
If the Earth before the
flood had been surrounded by a canopy of water vapor above the Troposphere it
would have compressed the air beneath and raised the average atmospheric
pressure, just how much would depend on how much water the canopy contained.
This increased pressure could
have resulted in a greater oxidation rate, a much more efficient metabolism and
stronger, healthier people.
The sheilding of water
vapor canopy could have eliminated almost all genetic mutation from the harmful
solar radiation.
there would be benefits of
living under increased atmospheric pressure. During the aquanaut program it was
discovered a cut on a aquanauts hand healed completely in 24 hours while
submerged in a diving bell.
back then the current land
mass was joined together in a hugh continent.
The Earth before the flood
was a single land mass riding on a blanket of superheated steam and with an
overhead curtain of water vapor protecting it from harmful solar rays.
After the flod the vapor
canopy was gone the Earths climate was changed.
Atmospheric pressure
dropped to what it is today.
without the water vapor
canopy the Earth received more radiation from the sun and genetic mutations
occured. mans lifespan was greatly reduced. and they obviosly didnot live as
long after the flood.
the other theory that goes
with it sometimes is "the fountains of the deep" were also let
lose.Gen 7:11 Which combined with the collapse of the water vapor canopy.
produced a great amount of water.the ripping apart of the crust would have
triggered tsunamis of unparalleled magnitude, sweeping the Earth with walls of
water from the existing oceans.
The initial rupture of the
earths crust would have spewed a tremendous jet of super heated steam high
above the earths ionosphere. the vapor blanket resting on the air above the
Earth would have been overwhelmed by the intensity and heat of this supersonic
blast and would have collapsed as sheets of worldwide rain.
The jet of water which
gushed high above the earths atmosphere would have encountered frigid
temperatures converting the water almost instantly to ice crystals.
When the water vapor
canopy which covered the Earth up to that point collapsed in rain, ending the
green house effect, the temperatures on earth would have been reduced to much
the same as they are today. immediately after the flood, the ice crystals
formed high above the earths stratosphere would have fallen, dumping immense
quantities of ice on the earths polar regions and northern latiitudes. This
would explain an enigma which has long perplexed the discovery of animals which
had been quick frozen in siberia and alaska some still with undigested food in
their stomaches and mouths.
there had to be an abrupt
and extremely sudden change in temperature, from near tropical to extreme cold
within a matter of minutes.
I kept this in my mind.
and a couple of years ago i saw an article in the newspaper where scientists
had found a couple miles long of watervapor in the upper atmosphere that was
forming over a specific area and they didnt know what it was doing up there. If
i find the article i will post it I did cut it out and save it.
nobody knows for sure
where the water came from and can only theorize but there was plenty of
evidence that it took place. I have read several scientific theories of the
water vapor canopy. I could go on and on but i just dont have time. I have
several books that mention it. I just pulled a few things out of the books for
you to think on.This is just one of several theories I have heard.

Wow, what can be added to
that! I do recall reading that "radiolaria", a fossilized form of
tiny sea life has been found in layers of dirt at high elevations in the
darndest places around the earth. I know nothing of bibical things but when you
find petrofied itty bitty fishies in mountain ranges, something incredible
happened involving a whole lot of water.

Well ,I found the article
but unfortunately I didnot cut out the date with it.
It was in the Repository
Newspaper . the author is Randolph E. Schmid
associate press writer.
here it is word for word:
VAPOR FLOWS FOUND IN THE
ATMOSPHERE
___________________________________
WASHINGTON- Massive rivers
of vapor, some carrying as much water as the Amazon, have been discovered in
the lower atmosphere.
Reginald E. Newell, of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said thursday he was surprised to find
the flows while analyzing satellite data.
His findings are reported
in Geophysical Research Letters, published by the American Geophysical Union.
A half-dozen vapor rivers
carry water from the equator toward the poles in relatively narrow streams,
Newell explained in a telephone interview.
"I expected to see
things following air masses, which usually have much larger horizontal widths.
The fact that it's concentrated was a surprise to us. " said Newell. The
flows "look like a river," he said.
The newly discovered
rivers do follow these general principles, but move the moisture in narrow
streams rather than having it spread out over a large air mass.
They seem to generally
trend toward the poles, Newell explained, though he has found a couple of cases
in which the stream encounters a typhoon,"gets entangled in itself and
goes back equatorwards."
The rivers also display
waves in their movement, he said, though why this should occur is not clear.
The researchers calculated
the length of some of these rivers of vapor at as much as 4,800 miles with a
width of 420 to 480 miles.
What does this mean to the
world's weather and climate? Newell and his associates are trying to figure
that out.
"We haven't solved
the relation between these rivers and fronts, highs and lows and the rest of
the synoptic (weather) pattern," Newell said.

Well as far as I can tell,
it seems that only two of us here are willing to answer TT_0's questions.
(Three - Shadow answered at least one question.) What's wrong? Are you afraid
of being judged in some way? Most of the people who post here on this forum
seem to enjoy playing around (and sometimes bickering and putting each other
down). So what is the problem? It seems as though when you find out someone is
observing you and says so, you clam up. Yes I know that implies that you
believe his claims or you don't think he is worth responding to. Yet most of
you will take the time to bicker. You could just tell him that you don't want
to answer any of his questions. You can't even do that instead you will ignore
those questions and write a lengthy reply to someone else just to get your
point of view across. Well that is what TT_0 is asking for. Why do you find so
hard to answer him? It implies that you believe him more then your willing to
admit. And you don't like the idea of being classified by an observer from a
future time. I think he is right, on the whole, "sheep" - bickering
sheep. Ok, you can blast me by being honest in answering TT_0 questions. (That
is the only basting that is acceptable.)

Hi djayr42!
Actually there was another
man who answered all of the questions and sent them to me to forward to
timetravler_0 in private.
which I did.
wether you beleived he was
real or not,
I think it was only common
curtesy to answer the questions after he answered ours. and that had to take a
lot of his time to answer all of our questions and debating on how much he
wanted to share. when every word you say can have consequences.
Its no big deal ,he was
just curious about how we feel about things as we are about him.
Maybe people are just too
paranoid.
It is kind of interesting
though...is this how we would treat a person from another world if we ever met
one?
Well anyway..hope everyone
has a great Christmas!!!!!!

Timetravel_0:
I think we're probably
closer than you think here. I'll certainly buy your explanation of time travel
as purely relative to the observer. I'm also not sure we're that far apart on
the reason there are no paradoxes. (Your Dictionary definition is of course the
correct one, I was merely making a simplification of it for my own purposes.)
As to the possibility of
multiple universes, well, it gets used a lot to try to explain things that
can't be explained but to me it's a cop out due to lack of evidence and the
very fact that it GETS used so much as a way to explain that which is otherwise
currently un-explainable. I need more evidence. The existence of multiple universes
leads me to believe that if there is more than one of them, there must
therefore be an infinite number of them. If there are an infinite number of
them, then everything that can happen, has already. I dislike this theory for
two reasons. 1. It destroys the necessity for free will thereby making all
descisions made by choice inherently moot. 2. It goes against "Occam's
Razor". The principle that the simplest explaination is probably the best
one. I really don't see the Universe needing to be so complicated as to require
infinite universes just to solve the concept of paradoxes.
Peace.
I thought it interesting
that my little "Flood" analogy sparked such conversation.
By all means many cultures
refer to "Great Floods" in their history. And Local phenomenea ARE
the reason these persist in mythology.
Pamela, you've been
reading the propaganda of the "Young Earth Creationists" I see. Their
web sites are all over the place. Unfortunately, these theories they propound
are not only NOT POSSIBLE, but have long since proven to be so.
Unfortunately many of
these, like the so-called "Dr." Kent Hovind have fabricated their own
"degrees" in higher education. Hovind for instance, started a
"University" in his living room, awarded himself a "Doctorate"
in Theology, and uses this to tout his self professed "expertise" in
geological and biologocal matters.
The "Vapor
Cloud" myth is a fairly old one trotted out to answer the "Where did
the water come from?" question. But YOUR explainations are right out of
the Creationists handbook 101. And equally mythological as they are without
foundation or acceptance by the Scientific Community at large.
Think about it. If it
never rained before the flood, what did plants live on? As to the Vapor Cloud
it self, it's already been calculated that to produce the water necessary for
world wide full deluge, the cloud would be so thick as to block out the sun
entirely. Meaning it MUST have been dark always before the so called
"Great Flood". Preposterous. Every Creationists argument on this
issue is totally debunk-able. Not just because it isn't so, but because it can
be PROVEN to be not so.
May I suggest you do some
browsing around the various Talk Origins websites where the real scientists
hang out and you'll begin to see how truly silly some of these Literal
Scripture interpretations really are.
Not that I'm arguing
against (or for) the existence of God, just that if you want to view the Bible
as an informative and inspirational document, may I suggest that you at least
study the differences where metaphor is used instead of an intended depiction
of reality.
Genesis has TWO depictions
or accounts of Creation. The Creationsts won't tell you about the second one
because it is contradictory to THEIR view. And supports the concept of Evolution.
It's called selective intepretation. And they engage in it all the time.
Or as the old song goes,
"Some Things That You
Libel,
To Read In The Bible,
It Ain't necessarily
So."
Good luck, and
Peace.

DaViper,
I thought I already
answered the questions you posed on this particular theory to me in my last
posting. I apologize I didnt have more time to post more info on it. It was
only one theory out of many that I have heard. I mentioned this one because of
the article I read two years ago in the city newspaper.
The book the info came
from was "A scientific approach to biblical mysteries."by Robert W.
Faid.I have another book called "Beyond Star Wars."which I cannot
locate at this moment. which is a scientifically based book discussing the many
theories of ancient mysteries around the world. and it also mentions the water vapor
canopy. both of them mention the rain falling for forty days and nights from
the canopy and the rest of the water coming from the fountains of the earth
being broken up.
I have never heard of the
"young earth creationists." what is their web site? I would like to
check out their theories.
One thing is certain
though, DaViper, there was a flood for the evidence was left in the Earth. How
it happened rests now in theories because noone knows for sure.
You know when it comes to
Ancient Events most of the time all you ever have are theories because none of
us were there at the time. and many things are not in existance at this time
that were there in their time.Theories are formed and based on evidence found
at the time and from piecing together writings or anything else found from the
time period.or things found in the Earth.
someday we shall all know
the truth. Maybe someday somebody will go back and "check it out" and
see for themself. I am not afraid to study anything or research any theory. I
piece it all together as I go keeping everything in mind. I see things from
many different angles. and eventually the truth will be known.
Peace to you always.

Hey Pamela if you want to
believe in mythology as opposed to science and fact it's OK with me. To each
his/her own so to speak.
I prefer knowledge however
over the fabricated ideas of those who adjust theory to suit ther particulat
religous beliefs.
Sure there have been
floods. There's probably one going on right now somewhere. But...
AY NO TIME was there ever
a flood that covered the entire Earth. There isn't enough water for there to
ever have been. And no hocus pocus "vapor cloud" that could ever
contain the amount of water needed to produce a rainfall of that proportion has
EVER covered the earth.
But if you choose to
believe this, fine. All the belief in the world cannot make it so.
The whole comment was an
analogy in the first place.
I thought we were
discussing time travel paradoxes. That's the title of the board anyway.

Sorry I have been out for
a while. Does anyone no whether the forces exerted by a universal flooding
could produce the force needed to seperate all the continents in in a period of
a couple of months. Given the amount of water on the earth now if the land
masses were but one land mass and there was one huge earth quake that cause all
the land masses to spread at a constant velocity to their present location in a
period of three months or so would the kenetic force mediated through the water
cause universal flooding by generating huge waves of water covering the land.
How fast would a land mass have to travel accross the earth for there in order
to cause the ocean in the direction of travel flow up and over the entire
continent of the united states from east coast to west coast? How hi would the
wall of water be? Does the needed velocity match the biblical time period for
the flood? If the continents were to have traveled at the nessecary velocity to
cause the water to wave over from the pacific ocean to the atlantic ocean for
period of time that Noah's flood was stated to have lasted in the bible could
the continents have reached their present location from the pangea in that
period of time at the calculated velocity. If not how far could the continents
have traveled. How much heat would have been generated by the friction of the
water over the continents surface if the water flowed over the earth. Would it
have been enough to produce steem at the calculated pressure? If all the above
proves true then is it possible find evidence in the soil for such events? If
anyone is motivated enough to run a computer simulation and plug in all the
variables in order to calculate the above hypothesis I would appreciate it. I
donnot have enough computer knowlege to run the simulation. Whoever comes up
with the answers to the questions above has the write to the discovery
naturally so have at it.
God bless you all and

The laws of physics have
nothing to do with a belief system.
They are what they are
whether one believes them or not. All the old belief that the world was flat
didn't make it so.
All the belief that the
earth was the center of the Solar System and Universe couldn't make it so.
And all the belief in the
world that a "universal flood" EVER existed can't change the laws of
physics that make such an event utterly impossible.
Where did all the water go
when this "flood" was over? Evaporate into space? Sorry not possible
under the laws of physics that are governed by the very gravity of the earth
itself. Water which is heavier than air, evaporated into the vacume of space
and left the earth's atmosphere behind? Sorry no dice. It just doesn't work
like that as any meteorologist can tell you.
The story is based on
local phenomenae at the time it originated. It probably looked to the
inhabitants at the time that the "whole world" was flooded but the
reality of physics is that it is not, never was, and can never be possible.
(Barring collisions with several thousand Comets that is. Which would wipe out
all life, change the entire structure of the mantle itself and cause evolution
to start all over again.)
There is NO evidence this
has ever happened in this manner.
The belief stems from the
desire to insist on a literal interpretation of the Bible that the earth is but
6-8 thousand years old.
But it isn't just that
meteorology, geology, palentology, astronomy, biology, physics, quantum
mechanics or cosmology each show that this is impossible, it's that ALL these
sciences agree thru related and intertwined studies that the aforementioned is
simply not possible.
If one wants to toss aside
ALL of these studies and the verifiable evidence they produce in favor of a
mytology based on a single text that has NO proof, than I guess one is free to
do so.
But an Ostrich is free to
stick his head in the sand also.

"They are what they

Isnt that amazing? but yet
thousands of years before they came to the conclusion that the earth was flat
it was already stated that it was indeed round!
Isaiah 40:22 "...the
circle of the Earth.." heheh
For some reason this
subject is an offense to you so I will not discuss it with you any longer.
All science also agreed
that nothing could go faster than the speed of light. Scientists beleived and
accepted this theory as true for years even based other theories on it. but in
the light of new evidence the theory was proved wrong.(Just this year)
I want to think beyond the
current theories. For I see them for what they are..theories only, not concrete
facts.Thats why I like to research many different theories and maybe even come
up with some of my own.
I respect your beleifs and
theorys as I do all others.

Not to create dissention
for I am a man of science but in my own town there were discovered dinosuar
bones that were carbon dated to be 80 million years old. The bones were
discovered in a farming area close to bisbee AZ. Now a christian farmer went
home slaughtered one of his cows took a bone from it and snuck into the
escavation site one that night and buried the cow bone so that the scientists
would discover it the following day. And the scientists did. They carbon dated
the cow bone and their results stated that the bone was over 50 million years
old. Further more the scientist identified the cow bone as being from a
dinosuar. They presented their findings that week and the farmer came publicly
to dispute them pointing at his cow bone saying that the bone was not 50
million years old that and preached creation. Thge scientists debated claiming
that they carbon dated the bone and this evidence proved them wrong. The farmer
stated that the evidence couldn't be right. The scientists argued with the man.
And finally the man stated "that bone can't be 50 million years old, I
snuck that bone in yesterday it's my cow bone My cow ain't 50 million years
old." everyone laughed and the story spread throughout our town and the
scientist left our town in shame and completely humiliated and bewildered. They
could no longer use their arguements to sustain the hoax of evolution for in
one fowl swoop by a genius farmer their entire arguement was broaght to ruins.

I'm not sensitive about it
at all. And I also respect the religious beliefs of others. (I get a kick out
of some of the stories I see preffered from time to time.) :-) But when
hypothesis are profferred to suport religious belief that can be proven to be scientifically
incorrect, one needs to realize that while religion is a personal matter, one
cannot cancel the laws of physics in order to cling to beliefs that simply are
not true.
The only people that see
conflict between religion and science are staunch religionists. Sagan, Einstein
et al were both believers in God. Hawking is a pure Agnostic. Which means that
while he does not firmly accept the existence of God, he doesn't reject it
either.
Science is not attempting
to disprove God (some scientists MAY be atheistic) but Science itself takes no
stand on the existence of God. He either is, or He isn't. To science, it
matters not either way.
Hey, maybe God DID create
the Earth. But it's a simple fact that He did not create it in what WE refer to
as "6 days" as is metaphorically described in Genesis.
If one's faith is truly
strong, all the scientific FACT in the world shouldn't be able to shake it.
Even when preposterous claims are made but such as 'rgrunt' above.
His story is an old one
and is without basis in fact. It has been circulated by the
"Creationists" for many years. If 'rgrunt' did just a little
research, he would find that CARBON dating is not used in Paleontology for
dating things from MILLIONS of years ago. Other radio-isotope methods are used.
There are 5 all in all. Each has it's own period of effectiviness depending on
the half-life or decay rate of the isotope involved.
No scientist would even
TRY to date a 50 million year old sample with Carbon dating. And any story that
claims someone did is pure fabrication and bunk since no scientist would ever
claim that he has.
By all means, please keep
searching for the truth. But don't take someone else's word for anything. Do
the research. The web is full of good science and "snake oil"
salesmen like 'rgrunt'.
I wish you peace and
success in your search for truth.

P. S. Pamela:
By the way, think about this.
Physicists for quite some
time now have understood radioactive decay quite well. In fact so well, we've
been able to construct clocks based of the decay of various elements.
Since these clocks are SO
accurate, they are used by NASA to time events in the travel of our space
vehicles. The precision involved in sending the Pioneer, Voyager, etc
Spacecraft to the outer planets for picture taking is so intricate that only
atomic clocks will do.
If our understanding of
radioactive decay was flawed, then these clocks would not work as we intend
them too, and those planetary fly-by events we all remember NEVER took place
since the craft would have missed the targets by millions of miles.
Mr. 'rgrunt' has some
homework to do.
By the way, Evolution is
observable not only in Nature but reproducable in the laboratory. Those who
claim it doesn't exist are either too afraid to admit they are wrong, or just
plain too stubborn to accept reality.
It's a scary thing to be
proven wrong. Once one realizes it, one is stuck with the idea that other
things one believes in MAY be wrong also. This is hard for some people to
accept since it shakes the foundation of their whole belief system.
But an open mind and a
willingness to actually learn will always get one through the tough spots.
I have no idea how or why
the Universe came into existence, but I'm not going to worry about it. And I'm
for sure NOT going to buy into ideas of how it happened that simply are not so,
and can be proven to BE not so.
I bid you a good day.

Yup! (heh heh).
Without even having to
resort to quantum decay timelines.
Fossilization is a process
where actual organic tissue is replaced by inorganic mineral deposits leaving a
remnant of the original in it's original form, but with no organic material
intact.
In short, a true
"fossil" is actually a form of stone, (like the "trees" in
the Petrified Forest), while a bone is...well, a bone!
Only a blind idiot
couldn't tell the difference. (Actually, a "blind idiot" could weigh

Mr. O,
I just read your postings.
Something did catch my eye. You mentioned that the physics behind time travel
will be realized within the next year at CERN. Currently, the project being run
at CERN is the LEP, the large electron positron collider. It was scheduled to
be shut down this past November but was not due to some potential evidence of a
missing component of the Standard Model, the Higgs Boson. As you may or may not
know, the Higgs boson is the theorized mechanism by which particles acquire
mass. I will not mention more of this but suffice it to say that I am aware
that for an object to travel at the speed of light it would have to be
massless(that is to say if the photon is in fact a massless spin 1 boson as
assumed). But in order to tip the light cone, you would need to travel faster
than light.
While I do believe that
time is not as fragile as some colleagues believe, I do find it interesting
that someone would attempt to contaminate the time stream before a point in
time at which time travel is possible. Actually, all current feasible theories
of time travel negate the possibility of travelling back beyond the point at which
the time machine was constructed.

AH! Is that the official

Hmmmm....then again, maybe
it had absolutely nothing to do with the diagrams CERN received in Nov.---but
then again----

(I think you know very
well the answers to the questions you have asked. You just want to guage the
quality of our replies, or just remind us that we SHOULD be up to speed on our
constitutional rights and responsibilities.)
It would be nice to be
able to remind everyone about their rights and responsibilities but I am not
here to judge you. I am not capable of that nor would I want that in return. As
you know, my interest is in history and in the paradox of thought. I do
however, find it interesting how important the Constitution became to the
average US citizen’s life, if even for a short moment.
(A young person should
want to survive and live for better days ahead. At some point, however, an
older person will realize, especially in the face of disaster, that better days
are NOT on the horizon.......ever. What you are forcasting for 95% of the
present population is 20 years of hell followed by survivors in the rubble.
I've already put in my 40 year shift of work and worry. Why should we fret over
politics on our way to slaughter? Isn't that like telling the Captain of the
Titanic, that all he has to do to save the ship is to back up really fast after
the collision?)
It saddens me that you do
not realize your true worth as a keeper of information and experience. Perhaps
the end that we fear will open your eyes to your true value as an individual.
Young people need wisdom. The captain of the ship knows where the lifeboats
are.
(When it is beginning to

I like the lyrics. They
remind me of some other songs that are oldies but goodies from where I come
from…anyone know these?
…gotta be home, by sunset.
She asked me to giver her a ride, said she had to go, dropped her off by the
trism through the atmosphere…by prism. Gotta keep movin , it was the human race
to get away, sun bends light through a prism, she bent herself through the
trism… …she pulls the lever and then bright light.
-- or this --
Waiting for bus number 99,
goin’ to the store for hotdogs and wine when all of the sudden I felt real cold
and wound up in the belly of a UFO... …Movin through the spheres at faster than
light on our way to some planets that were out of sight… [well it had been 987
years in outer space when I got back, I couldn’t seem to find any of my friends
to tell my interesting stories to.]
(Currently, the project
being run at CERN is the LEP, the large electron positron collider. But in
order to tip the light cone, you would need to travel faster than light. I do
find it interesting that someone would attempt to contaminate the time stream
before a point in time at which time travel is possible. Actually, all current
feasible theories of time travel negate the possibility of travelling back
beyond the point at which the time machine was constructed.)
I’m pretty sure they have
a number of experiments going on at the same time at CERN. The one I’m
referring to involves very high energies using protons. From my historical
perspective on my worldline, I do recall the issue was a point of contention
about 18 months ago or so. There were some scientists who thought the
experiments were too dangerous to try. The time travel I refer to does not
require faster than light travel and due to multiple world “reality”, paradoxes
do not occur. Natural time machines do exist. Please check these web sites for
the basics…on both ends of the scale.

Hi Mr.O,
It is true that CERN has 4
detectors/experiments but they are all centered around the LEP experiment.
There are no experiments at CERN which deal with accelerating protons at this
time. There is a planned experiment in 2005, when the Large Hadron collider takes
over the tunnel at which the LEP is located. The experiment you refer to is not
at CERN it is at RHIC in Brookhaven National Lab on Long Island, it is an
attempt to create a quark gluon plasma, a form of matter which would have been
present shortly after the big bang but before condensation of quarks into
particles like protons and neutrons.
I am aware of the
possibility of using wormholes to time travel, however you are still unable to
travel back beyond the point of the creation of the wormhole. Even the Tipler
cylinder does not allow a traveller to go back beyond the point at which the
cylinder was made. It has been my view that in order to have controlled time
travel you would need to have a description of the quantum structure of
space-time, otherwise I do not see how you could undertake the calculations
that would be needed. One reason it is not certain that a wormhole could be
used to travel through time is because it is believed that quantum fluctations
around the mouth of the wormhole would act to collapse it. Just as in a similar
fashion quantum fluctations around the event horizon of a black hole act to
make it radiate particles and eventually evaporate.
If you are a time
traveller from 2036, how do you plan to retake your place there. Your presence
in this time frame would, as you have pointed out, cause a "temporal
divergence" from the natural sequence of events. If you believe in the
multiverse theory, may I ask you if you have memories of an unknown uncle being
around while you were young?

To Trott:
I fear our conversation is
in danger of turning due to an effect that is quite common on these boards. I
realize what I’m saying is quite hard to swallow and it causes debate, weather
serious or entertaining. It is even more difficult when you come into the
middle of a conversation or a series of questions that are a few weeks old.
Your points are all quite
valid and I have discussed them at length on this and other boards for quite a
while. I do not wish to antagonize you however, we both know the Tippler
cylinder is only a thought experiment to explain the very real physics behind
Kerr black holes. As to your other comments, again, they are all true as
defined by the limits of spacelike trips on single worldlines. It does not
account for travel between worldlines.
I have never claimed to be
a physicist or an expert on what the CERN laboratory is doing at any given
moment so I feel it is pointless to argue about what they may be doing in the
future or what "breakthroughs" they will or might have. My comments
about the CERN lab are in reference to particle accelerators in general and
other questions that have come up in the past. The major physics break through
for controlled gravity distortion does happen at CERN in your future. Heck, we
haven't even touched on "Z" field compression yet.
I suppose I could say that
I was the one that traveled in time and convinced them to change their
experiments but even I would have a hard time believing that one and I do not
wish to insult your intelligence.
Just curious...what is it
that interests you about time travel?

I am a graduate student in
physics. I feel that the concept of time is in need of a lot more
understanding. Because of that my interest in time travel is purely scientific.
I am much more interested in the nature of time itself.
I must admit however that
time travel would be the greatest technological breakthrough in all history.
With such a machine all questions could be answered objectively.

I apologize for wasting
this much space but I thought some of you would be interested in seeing this
after reading some of things I've been saying in the last few months. Below is
the address to the news site and a copy of the text.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/et?ac=004071676359148&rtmo=r9XahmDX&atmo=rrrrrrrq&pg=/et/00/12/31/wcia31.html
This is the world in 2015
By James Langton in New
York
Global Trends 2015 -
Central Intelligence Agency [CIA]
CIA
International Insitute for
Strategic Studies
THE world is on the brink
of a new era that may resemble the script of a James Bond film in which
international affairs are increasingly determined by large and powerful
organisations rather than governments, according to a study just published by
the CIA in Washington.
Click to enlarge
[Large graphic]
These could include
alliances between some of the most powerful criminal groups such as the Mafia
and Chinese triads. Such groups, according to the CIA, "will corrupt
leaders of unstable, economically fragile or failing states, insinuate
themselves into troubled banks and businesses, and co-operate with insurgent
political movements to control substantial geographic areas".
The agency adds:
"Their income will come from narcotics trafficking; aliens smuggling;
trafficking in women and children; smuggling toxic materials, hazardous wastes,
illicit arms, military technologies, and other contraband; financial fraud; and
racketeering."
The 70-page report, Global
Trends 2015, will be required reading for the new president, George W Bush, and
his senior policy advisers. It suggests that the early years of the coming
century are likely to be filled with both potential and peril.
Compiled with help from
think tanks in America and the International Institute for Strategic Studies in
London, the report projects a future in which globalisation, whether in the
shape of the European Union, the International Monetary Fund, giant
corporations or terrorist gangs, plays an increasing part in the lives of
ordinary people.
"Governments will
have less and less control over flows of information, technology, diseases,
migrants, arms, and financial transactions, whether licit or illicit," it
concludes.
In addition to confronting
the growing economic and military power of China and India and the continuing
decline of Russia, the CIA says: "Between now and 2015 terrorist tactics
will become increasingly sophisticated and designed to achieve mass
casualties."
In particular it notes the
growing threat of biological and chemical weapons and "suitcase"
nuclear devices against the United States. In addition, it expects rogue states
such as Iraq and Iran to develop long range missiles in the near future.
Iran, it says, could be
testing such weapons by as early as the coming year, and cruise missiles by
2004. Iraq could have missiles capable of hitting America by 2015, with both
nations developing nuclear, chemical and biological warheads.
Potential flashpoints have
a familiar ring and include India and Pakistan, China's relations with Taiwan,
and the Middle East, where the best that can be hoped for is a "cold
peace".
Elsewhere, the world
population will grow by more than one billion, to 7.2 billion, most of the
increase coming in the mega-cities of the developing world. In Europe and Japan,
an ageing population and static birthrate means that allowing more immigration
may be the only way of meeting a chronic shortage of workers.
The gloomiest predictions
are reserved for Africa, where Aids, famine, and continuing economic and
political turmoil means that populations in many countries will actually fall.
At least three billion people will live in regions where water is in
increasingly short supply.
On the other hand, there
is good news on energy supplies. "Energy resources will be sufficient to
meet demand," the study says. The CIA report is most optimistic on the
world economy, which it says has a potential for growth not seen since the
1960s. Computer technology represents "the most significant global
transformation since the Industrial Revolution".
"At the same time,
genetically modified crops will offer the potential to improve nutrition among
the world's one billion malnourished people. China's economy will grow to
overtake Europe as the world's second largest but still behind the United
States. Russia's economy will contract to barely a fifth of America's.
The study expects the
European Union to narrow the economic gap with America. It points out, however,
that "lingering labour market rigidity and state regulation" mean
that "Europe will not achieve fully the dreams of parity with the US as a
shaper of the global economic system".
The 2015 report is an
update of a 1997 CIA study into the world in 2010, which it admits failed to
anticipate the global economic crisis that occurred between 1997 and 1998 which
had the hardest impact in the Far East and Russia.
The new survey suggests a
number of alternative scenarios, none of which makes happy reading. These
include a trade war between Europe and America, and an alliance between
terrorist organisations to attack the West. Most alarming of all, it raises the
possibility of economic stagnation, followed by America abdicating its role as
the world's policeman.
At the same time tensions
begin to grow in the Far East, where China orders Japan to dismantle its
nuclear programme, leaving, the report says, no alternative but for "US
re-engagement in Asia under adverse circumstances at the brink of a major
war".

So it seems to me that
this is one possible, most likely scenario.
In about 4 years the
voting system in this country will touch off a civil war. (Or at the very least
the civil disobedience of many.) Because people will be divided about who
should have power to do things, nothing will be done. When our foreign
obligations become lax and we cannot hold up our end of an agreement, (in the
far and mid east) they will see that as opportunity to move in on this country.
They will feel that they have the right. This is going to take about 10 years
for people to get angry enough to do something with more impact. During that
10-year period there will be groups (like organized crime) that will see the
division of the people as an opportunity to get rich and/or get power. This
will help the in those who seek to hurt this country. By the time we realize
what is coming it is already too late, having been distracted by our own civil
war and others with in who sought control. Basically we weren’t looking and got
hit.
Doses this seem close? It
has been the pattern for other countries in the past.

A machine called Z
Under a ring of water in a
sealed chamber in the middle of the New Mexico desert lies the heart of a
machine that could change the world
Michael Paterniti
Sunday December 31, 2000
It is never night inside
the Machine. Even after the sun has set on the mesa and Jimmy Potter and the
frogmen and the men in white jumpsuits and the men in blue jumpsuits have
showered, packed up, and gone home; even as yawning, befuddled scientists -
with names like Jim Bailey and Mark Derzon and Melissa Douglas - sit in offices
in a nearby building, trapped by their own reflections and in the blackened
windows; and even as this oesophageal dark falls over coyote and jackrabbit and
moves everything towards sleep and dreams, towards the deepest centre of the
night, the Machine is awake.
Its 36 Marx generators are
set in a ring like a metallic Stonehenge. The 20 Rexolite disks of the vacuum
chamber look like flying saucers. Its vast, concentric pool of five-weight oil
and deionized water seems bottomless - real oil and real water, in
half-million-gallon tanks that sit one inside the other like a wheel within a
wheel. Even now, there are depths in the Machine, invisible worlds revealing
themselves, the secret body of the universe floating up. Deuterium, tritium,
helium.
It begins with the flip of
a cyber switch in the control room at the north end of the hanger. Before a
bank of computer screens, a man clicks a mouse, and then electricity, quietly
sucked off the municipal power grid in Albuquerque, floods into the outer ring
of Marx generators. Which is when the Machine takes control. A siren sounds,
red lights flash, doors automatically lock. The frogmen and the white and blue
jumpsuits clamber over the high bay, down metal steps, and retreat to a
copper-coated room behind a foot of cement.
Another switch is flipped,
another mouse clicked. To the piercing sound of an alarm, a countdown in the
Marx generators ensues, or rather a count up, in kilovolts, comes in a
monotone, almost hollow voice beneath the frantic alarm. The man in the control
room on a tinny loudspeaker, the Machine speaking through the human.
'Twenty kV...'
'Thirty kV...'
'Forty kV...'
At 90, the floodgates
open: a pulse of electricity surges out of the Marx generators toward an inside
ring of giant capacitors and then through a series of gas switches. The current
is compressed by the Machine into a wild whitewater of electricity that charges
toward the vacuum chamber at a speed of 60 million feet per second. On its way,
it passes through painted sharks' mouths, drawn there by the men in white and
blue jumpsuits in the way that fighter pilots sometimes draw on their warplanes
to show their prowess - or hide their misgivings. The electricity pours past
the sharks' mouths, is redirected downward, along the Z axis, into the vacuum
chamber, blitzing and bombarding from all sides a three-dimensional target in a
gold-plated can, a delicately strung array of tungsten wires the size of a
spool of thread, hanging in black space like a tiny chandelier.
Driven so furiously in the
Machine, and then storming the array, the pulse of electricity - enough juice
now to light up America like a birthday cake - instantly vapourises the
tungsten wire into plasma, a superheated ion gas. The ions hover and dance
along the invisible circumference once described by the array, while a
relentless magnetic field keeps pressing on them, shoving them from behind.
Thrusting and squeezing and ramming until the ions can no longer resist, the
centre cannot hold, and in that hot nanosecond - Boom ! Everything becomes one.
This is not a gentle
conjunction but a Pandora's box suddenly ripped open by nuclear passion, an
orgy of ions. Boom ! Lightning fills the Machine, veins out over the surface of
the water. Temperatures flare to those inside the sun. The earth rocks once
again. And in few billionths of a second, 290 terawatts - 80 times the power
generated on earth at any given time - roar to life inside the Machine.
Watching it through a
Plexiglas window, you might as well be watching the beginning of the universe.
Or the end of it. Contained in that single flash of white light, when the
Machine holds the heat and the power of the sun, when the room fills with
lightning, there is everything we know - and everything we may become. The 21st
century. A world covered by rooms of little suns, generating intense energy
and, with it, the possibilities of time travel and galaxy hopping. Peace among
nations. Or the end of time as we know it, a hole ripped in the universe by the
Machine, something many doomsayers predict, and the earth sucked into oblivion.
Our downfall or salvation. A fusion machine they call Z.
The magic bean; the Holy
Grail: fusion. The idea is to take two isotopes of the hydrogen atom -
deuterium and tritium - and mash them together with a little energy, which in
turn releases enormous amounts of energy in the form of a single neutron.
Contrarily, fission, the method widely employed by today's nuclear reactors,
splits heavy uranium and plutonium atoms, creating lots of energy but also tons
of dangerous and everlasting radioactive waste. Fusion offers a clean source,
borne out of the material of roughly a handful of water and a handful of earth,
with its only by-product being an easily disposable helium-4 nucleus.
What would fusion mean?
Endless, cheap energy. Amazing Star Trek , space-travel possibilities. Fame,
fortune, and undoubtedly a Nobel or two for the lucky scientists. For the
better part of five decades, the race has two separate approaches: magnetic
confinement and inertial confinement. Most researchers - those from Japan,
Russia, Europe and America - focus on the former: big accelerators called
stellarators, spheromaks, and tokamaks (a machine designed partly by Andrei
Sakharov) use huge magnets to contain and compress hydrogen isotopes that hover
in a kind of reddish-blue plasma inside the huge torus-shaped tubes until
implosion.
On the other hand, the
idea behind inertial confinement is that tiny fuel pellets of deuterium and
tritium are bombarded by lasers or X-rays. In the case of the Z Machine, the
explosion that occurs when ions are released by the vapourised wire array, and
then when ions are pinched together, creates a huge X-ray pulse, one that
scientists hope can be used to heat the tiny pellets and, in turn, create a
small thermonuclear explosion. As it is, fusion has never been achieved for an
extended time outside the explosion of a hydrogen bomb.
The first time scientists
attempted to shoot an early incarnation of the Z machine, in June 1980, there was
bravado and false bravado and downright fear. At Sandia National Laboratories
on Kirtland Air Force Base, in the same New Mexican high-desert landscape of
America's greatest, most frightening nuclear discoveries, they'd been working
on the Machine for four years. Yet there were still unknown variables, a
scientist's nightmare. First, it was so much bigger and more powerful than any
of its predecessors. What if the Marx generators blew up before it could be
shot? What if residual X-ray radiation contaminated people in the area? Or a
fire destroyed the complex? And what if everything worked perfectly and they
got a huge energy release that blew up Albuquerque itself? It was a scenario
that had been considered at the highest level. As had something worse: what if
people later wished that it had been only Albuquerque that blew up?
The shot - Sandia
shorthand for the firing of the Machine - was scheduled for a Friday night. But
then the machine blew a fitting. The technical crew - the frogmen, as well as
the men in white and blue jumpsuits - worked feverishly, and by Saturday noon
the Machine was ready again. 'No one knew what to expect,' remembers Gerry
Yonas, 58, an engineer and physicist and one of the founding fathers of the Z
Machine. They took all necessary precautions, charged the Marx generators, and
crossed their fingers. A switch was flipped, electricity pulsated into the
Machine, ripped through the switches, stormed on to the wires. There was a
wicked jolt, and... silence. Sweet, beautiful silence. Everyone was still on
earth; everything seemed to work. The feeling was surreal. 'I felt the ground
shake,' says Yonas, grinning at the memory, 'and everybody said: "Let's do
it again!" Nobody wanted to go home. I had to kick them out. There was
nowhere else in the world to be. This was the beginning.'
The scientists, at that
time a group of 20 or so men, threw high fives and drank beer. Pure, silly
jubilation. Only later, photographs of what actually had occurred inside the
Machine made them gasp: huge dragon snorts of fire filled the hangar.
Apparently, plumes of oil had sprayed skyward in the instant of explosion,
flamed, and then flamed out before the men returned inside the Machine. They
had nearly blown themselves up. By the grace of some benevolent god, or the
Machine itself, they were allowed to return to work on Monday morning, giddy
limbs intact.
Over the next 15 years,
the Z Machine gradually improved its output, packing an astonishing wallop - 20
trillion watts' worth of electrical output, as compared with the mea gre
100,000 amps of the first machine - but it wasn't enough. Scientists and theoreticians
estimated that for high-yield fusion to be achieved inside the Machine, it
would need to generate something over 1,000 trillion watts. A factor of at
least 50 of Z's output.
Which is when the men in
suits and ties tried to kill the Machine. It was a dinosaur, they argued, no
longer useful. They felt Z-pinch technology could not yield the mother lode. By
1995, even Yonas, who was about to become a grandfather, was acutely feeling
the passage of time. He sadly had to admit that maybe he should sacrifice Z and
all the optimism that had driven the project. Perhaps achieving high-yield
fusion, something scientists compare to the invention of the lightbulb for its
potential to change the world, did indeed belong to the other fusion machines,
the stellarators and spheromaks and tokamaks. To the Russians or the Japanese
or the British or the confederate nerds at Princeton or Lawrence Livermore or
Oak Ridge. And maybe Sandia National Laboratories - over time, a place known
more for its secretive mystique, its downright weird nefariousness, dating to
the cloak-and-dagger days of Little Boy and Fat Man - would have to sit on the
sidelines while someone else gave the world perhaps its greatest legacy.
But a funny thing happened
on the way to the chop shop. Maybe it was 11th-hour desperation, or some
invisible bolt of providence visited on a few overworked scientists, a couple
of whom lit on the simple idea of stringing the wire array, the spool-sized
target at the centre of the Machine, with double, then triple, the tungsten
wire. All of a sudden - Boom ! Forty trillion watts! No one believed it. They
reconfigured the Machine, boosting its X-ray production. Then someone, Melissa
Douglas, thought to stack the arrays. Boom ! Two hundred trillion watts in a
single pulse! Short of a nuclear blast, it was the most energy ever released on
earth, and suddenly, in 1998, after five decades of chasing the illusion of
high-yield fusion, of regarding it as some far-off Atlantis or dark galaxy's
edge, the Z Machine was a third of the way there.
In science, if you do
something once that's never been done before, it's considered a mistake. Do it
twice, and it's simply a mirage. But the third time it becomes the truth. With
Z's new, seemingly impossible results came the first flickering sign that some
deep, unknowable power resided in the Machine. And so today, the Z Machine is
considered one of the world's best hopes for achieving fusion. 'We may not
understand how we get these huge pulses of power, the meaning may still elude us,'
says Yonas. 'But it's still a fact.'
One that Yonas himself, at
first, had a hard time grasping. After he was handed the results, he remembers
squinting at them, and sitting back at his desk as if blown by a solar wind.
'My God,' he said in a small voice. 'This could work. This could really work.'
Listen to the Z
scientists, to their best idea ('The use of stark-shifted emissions to measure
electric-field fluctuations and acceleration gaps'), and their dream ('To
remedy plasmic instability and create higher temp- eratures'), and you enter a
kind of friend country that becomes an Andean prison from which it gets harder
and harder to escape. The scientists admit that, at moments, their whole selves
are inseparable from the Machine, that the pull of the Machine is so great that
re-entering normal life can be nearly impossible.
Jim Bailey, a handsome,
soft-spoken, loafer-wearing plasma physicist whose conversation is peppered
with references to spectroscopy and 'the visible regime', says sometimes it's
even hard to go to a neighbour's barbecue - can't make small talk, can't
communicate what you do - let alone talk to your wife. Mark Derzon, a boyish,
bearded nuclear physicist, says he works a system with his wife: when he walks
through the door at the end of a day, he says green light ('Yes, everything is
fine, I'm ready for the kids'); yellow light ('Give me 15 to decompress'); or
red light ('I need time'). Melissa Douglas says that there's no line drawn at
all between the Machine and her private life - that the Machine, her place
inside of the Machine, studying something called Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities,
is her private life. And now, at the age of 36, she's watched her friends get
married, have families, settle, and on occasion she's wondered to herself:
'what am I doing? Can we really make fusion work?'
Since the 1950s, the US
government has invested nearly $15bn to find out, always with the promise that
fusion is just around the corner - two, three, five years away - and, with it,
a fusion revolution that would hurtle us to the centre of the earth, the
deepest trenches of the ocean, and the farthest reaches of space. A revolution
that would morph the Third World into the First World until we are simply One
World.
After all, how many wars
have been fought over oil? And then, with oil reserves expected to reach full
depletion by 2050, how many more will be? Remove oil as a vital component of
our speed-driven, chip-fitted age and, sure, people would find things to brawl
over, but energy wouldn't be one of them.
And with limitless, cheap
energy, the development of poorer nations wouldn't be one of them, either.
And with development, the
have-nots and pariahs of the world would theoretically join the haves, and so
food and housing and education wouldn't be one of them.
And with a higher standard
of living would come a new freedom for humanity. For at its heart, fusion, as a
Utopian ideal, has always symbolised freedom; freedom from the mistakes and
waste of our past, the Hanford Reservations and the Savannah River Sites -
those vast, spooky, radiating underground storage facilities chambered with
containers of plutonium and iodine waste, on top of which America is built.
Though left unsaid, the race for fusion has always been about democracy or a democratic
alternative.
And yet one of the biggest
threats to fusion comes from the same group of people responsible for the
Hanford Reservations and the Savannah River Sites: the US Government. Recently,
Congress and various federal agencies have become disenchanted by the fusion
dream. Critics have lambasted it as a waste of time and money. If we haven't
achieved it in the last 45 years, they argue, we never will. The US has dropped
out of a proposed $10bn international fusion project called ITER, leaving the
facility in doubt of completion. Meanwhile, the government has spent $3bn, with
as much as an additional $43bn to come, on developing Nevada's Yucca Mountain
as a vast nuclear-waste site - despite well-documented problems - and continues
its commitment to fission reactors despite the fact that radioactive waste can
be lethal up to 600 millennia after burial. Leaders in fusion field, like the
Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, have mothballed their big machines, laid
off staff, and now are fighting simply for their own survival.
'You have to find a way to
justify doing something that you may never see accomplished in your lifetime,'
says Jim Bailey, who has a penchant for reading Hume. 'I mean, instead I could
be working for a cancer cure, with at least a greater hope of finding one. But
I'm OK with this. I've made my peace with it. Fusion will be the greatest
scientific achievement of our time.'
Yonas, with the Super Bowl
confidence of Joe Namath, predicts that usable high-yield fusion will be made
available to the American public by an accelerator called X-1, a generation or
two beyond Z, within three decades - maybe sooner. Mark Derzon, a member of
what's called the Advanced Concepts Group at Z, has designed what would be the
first practical Z-pinch reactor - 'A zero-miracle power plant,' he cheerfully
proclaims, and believes that the Z technology is rougher and tougher, able to
sustain more of the constant rock and roll of such a plant, than are the
sensitive lasers and vacuums necessary for magnetic confinement. But optimism
usually carries the day only past lunch; the request to draw up preliminary
plans for X-1, with its price tag of up to $1bn dollars, is likely to be
approved by the Department of Energy.
'Every day, it's a leap of
faith,' says Neal Singer, a science writer at Sandia. 'Adding wires to the
array - where did that idea come from? From the outside it makes no sense. It's
incredibly complex and difficult to string tungsten wires 1/10th the diameter
of a piece of hair and space them perfectly. And they did it and got tremendous
results. Then they added more and more, spaced them a little differently and
now we're a third of the way there. It takes these little steps, this
day-by-day thinking. Hour after hour. Ten, 12, 14 hours a day. The constant
question is, Can you just make a little change to influence the result?'
Thus the world inside the
Machine is driven down to its smallest, most maddening detail. For in the end,
fusion - its possibility and reality, its attainment and capture - comes out of
this finely tuned call-and-response with the universe itself, the channelling
of some great unknown, copulating force that calls for the perfect alignment of
human and Machine. That is, the human culture surrounding the Machine attempts
to mimic the Machine itself , which is trying to mimic the universe. The
mannerisms of the Machine become the mannerisms of its minions - people rage and
tyrannise, overheat, relent, synergise, procreate, vanish, and recur. One idea
seems brilliant and fails, while another may start as a quail but then,
compressed by other ideas - electrons stripping off, ions colliding -
transforms into something sharp and fast, something agitatingly, beautifully
right. And then, of course, it is shot into the Machine to see if it is.
Still there is Melissa
Douglas's nagging doubt, which is the nagging doubt of everyone here. On
certain days, it is possible to believe that you are merely trapped in the
rubble of some cosmic joke with no punch line, that Godot is eating chilli dogs
somewhere and won't be able to make it. After all, Jim Bailey's lab books are
full of 13 years' worth of jottings; Mark Derzon has pulled countless
all-nighters in the name of what may or may not be the reactor of the future;
Melissa Douglas has spent entire months of her life obsessing over a single
equation, the pallor of her face reflecting only pale computer light - all of
this thought and activity and faith belying the possibility that their efforts
might be for nothing. And yet as much as the race for fusion is a race against
the Russians at Triniti labs, or the Germans at FZK labs, or other American
scientists at Lawrence Livermore, it's also literally a race against the
ticking internal clocks of each scientist who entertains the question: will I
live to see it?
'History forgets the
individual,' says Mark Derzon pensively, surrounded by no fewer than 30
photographs of his young daughters. 'One day Plato will be forgotten.
Ultimately, the name you make for yourself is not the important thing. It's
what you did, what you stood up for, what you acted on. Did you try to make the
world a better place? In order to do it, the world needs fusion. I just happen
to think that Z is the best way to get there. And we're going to have one
serious pizza party around here if it is.'
Jimmy Potter stands inside
the Machine, glaring down into the half-million-gallon pool of water at the
submerged refrigerator-sized capacitors where, he suspects, there may be a
broken, bubbling gas switch. Potter, a Texan, is the keeper of the Beast, the
man who oversees the whole shebang for today's shot. 'Are those bubbles down
there?' he asks out loud, vexed. 'We already sent the divers in. I sure hope
not.'
If Potter is driven by
perfection, then he is merely a reflection of the culture at Sandia National
Laboratories. And if the quest for fusion is intensely competitive, Moonily
quixotic, and at times downright nasty, then Sandia mirrors, among its myriad
projects, many of those same contradictory characteristics. Top secret or
otherwise, spread over the dusty 27-square-mile patch of Kirtland Airforce
Base, the projects include the training of honeybees to detect land mines, the
invention of a foam that kills anthrax, the making of a synthetic sludge, and
the perfecting of various micromachines, some so small as to be undetectable by
the human eye, which might be used to lock down nuclear weapons. Sandia is the
home to Teraflops, the fastest computer in the world, as well as the birthplace
of moly-99, a radioactive substance widely used in medical procedures. On the
east of the base, behind three rows of concertina wire, is a cluster of
foothills rumoured to be now-empty nuclear silos. They seem to stand as a
reminder of how closely the isotopes of Thanatos and Eros can be held in the
same idea, for it to be a real idea, a saving idea, both have to be there,
threatening to undo us and remake us at once. To obliterate and immortalise.
Potter couldn't care about
all that. 'My job is to work with the personalities here,' he says, now pacing
the high bay, twitching with pent-up energy. He slips behind a pig (a radiation
shield), and checks a silver box that houses a cryogenic pump. He monitors the
tech crew, confers with the lead scientist on the shot, keeps everything
running on time. 'You've got your top of the Ivy League class,' he continues.
'You've got prima donnas with huge egos. And you've got technicians who at
least graduated high school. Nobody can operate without the other. The first
thing that happens with two strong personalities is clash. It's my job to go to
one and bring him up and maybe bring the other one down and then bring them
together.'
Of course, there are days
when everything feels charged with Shakespearean plots and counterplots, days
when tension fills up around the Machine. All of it is caused by the Machine,
which rarely exists, of course, in its aluminum-and-Rexolite grandeur,
oblivious. There is head-butting between the young comers kicking with ideas
and the upper echelon of Z veterans, who ultimately hold the power here. There
are Iagos trying to ice someone else's idea in order to promote their own. (The
lab rewards the best with bonuses.)
'I've become a lot more
aggressive,' says Melissa Douglas, one of only three women among the 60
full-time scientists who work on Z. 'You have to really stand your ground. It
was very hard for me to do that at first.' In four years on the project, she
remembers her worst day as the one when she delivered a seminar and a colleague
heckled her mercilessly. Why? Was she that stupid? Did her PhD in plasma
physics and her postdoc at Los Alamos make her that inept? So she took her
weakness, her insecurity, her lack, and shot it into the Machine, and it came
back as power, 290 terawatts' worth.
As have others. Marriage
is shot in. Love is shot in. Innocence and experience and numbers are shot in,
and come back as something almost holy.
While many of these
scientists consider themselves agnostic, they are quick to admit that they
still find themselves in thrall to the unknown, to the force that pulses
through the Machine. 'In a deep sense, I would say that my greatest
satisfaction here comes from the act of creation,' says Jim Bailey. 'Because
what we're trying to do is create knowledge that didn't exist before. Whether
that brings us closer to God or not, I don't know. It brings us closer to an
understanding of the universe, and if you want to think of God in those terms,
then I suppose you could define it that way.'
Melissa Douglas describes
the charge of joy she gets from a perfect photograph of a Rayleigh-Taylor
instability taken inside the vacuum chamber by a pinhole camera at the moment
of the wire array's implosion. 'A beautiful picture!' she says, holding up a
snapshot that looks more like a Rorschach test - kind of blobby with spikes and
valleys. 'It sounds ridiculous, but when I first saw it I jumped and hopped
around the room. Ecstatic. Just amazing. Being around this machine, you can't
help but feel awe. The universe is mathematical and, you know, God is a
mathematician.'
And Jimmy Potter - Jimmy
Potter is clearing the high bay as sirens sound for all personnel to vacate the
Machine and retreat to the control room. Today's shot will attempt to find a
way to bombard the wire array uniformly with electricity, so that each last
kilovolt of energy can be accelerated into the Machine and come back as more.
'I mean, how do you explain all this to someone outside of this place?' he
says, gesturing toward the Machine. 'We don't make a product that can be sold.
You can't really see what's going on on in that vacuum chamber. I usually just
tell people I work with X-rays. That we've got a big machine doing big things,
and one day we're gonna change your life.'
Dawn inside the Machine,
and it's silent. The frogmen and the men in white and blue jumpsuits are
arriving, shaking off their sleep, downing coffee. Jimmy Potter got the shot
last night, downloaded the diagnostics, sent everyone home saying they'd take
apart the Machine today, and then drove the half hour to his house, over the
mesa and the beautiful landscape, to his wife and kids, trying to forget this
place for a few hours. At 5.30am, he was back, rallying the crew, which now has
sluggishly begun its work, drilling and hammering at the vacuum chamber.
The people of Z admit
there's a new inten sity, especially given the Machine's recent exponential
gains. There's something to prove - and they need to prove it fast. Plans to
win funds to build a cheaper, intermediary machine named ZX, one that will lead
to X-1, are the stuff of new worry and hope. And, like life on the edge of any
new frontier, there is still the possibility of danger.
But there are dreamy days
here as well. There are times when some Z scientists find it hard not to let
there minds wander, to entertain versions of fusion-propelled rockets arcing
the local solar systems, of fuel stations on the moon or Io or Pluto, wherever
you can pick up a little lithium and water. And there are others who imagine it
as the Peace and Love Machine, who've put their trust and idealism for the best
possible world in Z. And to get Peace and Love from the Machine, they have to
shoot in their souls, holding nothing back.
Now the crane groans over
its huge tracks above the Machine, preparing to lift off the 8,000lb crown of
the vacuum chamber. Last evening, the Machine inhaled the sun, this room filled
with lightning, and then everything exploded. Now, when the crown is unbolted,
hitched to a hook, and lifted away by the crane, a group of men tentatively
peer down into the Machine, goggle-eyed, perhaps expecting to find some traces
of gold dust or, more absurdly, a pile of confetti - or, by some miracle of the
universe, maybe a fully formed angel, sleeping with its white wings pleached
and sooty, its legs twisted under its body, both comical and impossible.
So the men look and look,
down into the centre of Z, the womb of the Machine, for some message there sent
back from the invisible world. But it is just a well of black space - plasma
and atoms unable to hold the weight of their gaze, the chill of their wonder.

Dear Mr Deviper,
Interesting indeed I will
look up the points you stated for they are quite compelling. I do admit that
the information I recieved came second hand so I trully cannot vouch for the
accuracy of the statements in the story and I appologize to the people on the
forum for the confusion. My father once told me that there are two topics that
can never be agreed upon...religion and politics. However I do hold to my
beliefs but without having performed carbon dating or other methods myself I
cannot testify for or against their legitimacy. Is there any documented proof
of a positive recorded in any lab? If do you have access to this proof that you
may back your claims that creation is completely proven wrong as you so subtely
implored in the last two paragraphs? Can you explain to me how it is more
logical for such an intelligent existance to acurr merely by trillions of
chance happenings whose probabillity of actually acurring is practically
imeasurable then for an infinitely intelligent creator to have planned the
creation. Do the numbers it is far more logical and probable for the universe
to have been created then just to have acurred. By the way infinity has to
exist. For infinity not to exist is a violation of thermal dynamics in that
something cannot come from nothing. So if every chance happening accurs from a
"big bang" before which nothing existed then something came from
nothing. No this is not disputed by religion but by scientific law. Tell me how
to get around this one. Let us first try to analyse order and chaos. In an
infinite period of time does a universe with a mixture of order and chaos
degrade to pure chaos resulting in a constant state of infinite entropy. Or
does the universe gravitate to a universe of infinite order? Hot or Cold is the
big question. If, on the one hand we have an infinite number of quantized
randoms confined to a volume what is the shape of that volume? In this case the
shape of the volume will be a perfect sphere on acount an infinite number of
two or three constantly varying shapes would be at such compression as to form
a constant uniform surface or volume. Thus an infinite number of randoms
equills perfect order...yet even in such a universe we are measuring the
randoms which must therefore exist. The measurement we made and the deduction
is in no way connected to the origins of the quantities existant therein by a
subtransfinite period. I say subtransfinite instead of infinite because I
believe the universe is both finite and infinite and that time and space are
quatiized and any movement in them. Thusly I believe that the distance in a
finite space-time to infinity in this bounded space-time is finite. Thus any
numeral beyond the barrier of the universe is not infinite but a finite number
to big to fit in this universe so it exists in the area beyond the present
universe...the past or future. If measure infinity in the small beyond any
given center mass lies superluminosity and therefore past. The velocity of
light is the folcrum point that exists in and marks the boundary between the
infinite past and infinite future.I imagine that at this velocity one could
part this reality and find another in the past or come in contact with the
future. Tell me what would happen to matter if one were to burst infinitely
into the future and back in a splitt second? I appologize I got side tracked
this is supposed to be an inquisition to evaluate whether or not science
supports or crumbles Creation. I appologize I have tried to see how a universe
of nonexistance could come into to existance in the form of an infinite number
of randoms and I can see no logic in this only a border created to establish
the area of impossibility within for the existance of a universe to derive from
nothing. But the relation that I see between the domain of non-existance and
existance is unstated. I would have said non-linear but even these mathematical
interactions acurr within the finite universe. It would appear that only super
finite actions could exist within this region of nonexistance thus defining
this region an infinite(beyond finite). I see no place for nothing in
existance. There is no displacement within an infinite mass and I can therefore
not see the possiblility of manufacturing a place of non existance save by an
infinite being who alone could traverse this clause to make a domain existant
seperated on all sides from the rest of existance by a border of absolute
absolute infinite limit.
All of this is purely my
own ascertaining so it more then likely contains some flaws. I also want to
state that I ment no insult by the way I stated my view up on top but this is
merely how I learned to debate. I assumed creation side of the arguement and
stated what I could ascertain in the hopes that others will debate my claims so
that I and others may gain knowlege.
Teach me,
let us discover the truth.

Greetings and happy
holidays everyone. I am very surprised and delighted to see the conversation
going in the direction it has on this thread. Unknowingly, you all have stepped
into the real mystery of time travel that remains speculative in 2036. Based on
a couple of questions I see here, I will try my hardest to describe what we in
2036 think space-time looks like and how it behaves. Please keep in mind that I
realize how easy it is to dismiss what I say. First, I’m trying to do this from
memory. Imagine you are back in 1911 trying to explain a jet engine to the
Wright brothers. However, there are some very basic properties of quantum
theory that support this model today. I appreciate the fact that you are
reading this with an open mind.
(If parallel universes do
exist, did they all start simultaneously? I mean, let's assume that the
universe originated from a singularity. Were there any parallel universes at
that point? That would not be very logical and it would also imply that there
is a parallel universe in which our universe never existed.)
It is thought that the
event called the “Big Bang” was the start of not only this worldline or
universe but all worldlines and all universes that make up the superuniverse.
It is also thought that the superuniverse can be imagined as an expanding
sphere with the big bang in the center.
Individual worldliness (or
timelines as you call them) can be imagined as lines originating at the center
and “trending” toward spiraling around the sphere until they reach the edge.
The individual worldlines expand in length and widen as you follow them from
the center. Each individual “moment” or “event” on a world line has infinite
possibilities or outcomes. Imagine this as a single point with infinite lines
shooting away from it, which in turn are made up of points with their own
possibilities and outcomes. Now, remember, these individual worldliness with
all these points and possibilities are defined by their ability to hold there
inhabitants to timelike trips only (no faster than light travel).
Now consider the reality
of a spinning or electrified black hole (Kerr). Penrose diagrams of these
oddities show mathematically that you can make simulated spacelike trips
(faster than light) through the singularity without being destroyed. In order
to do this without wiping out most modern physical laws, you must travel to an
alternate worldline or universe. Therefore, if multiple worldlines exist,
infinite worldlines exist.
In trying to imagine a
superuniverse with infinite possibilities and worldlines, I think of a room
with mirrors on all the walls. You are aware of your captivity but as you look
in the distance, you see an infinite number of “yours” in an infinite number of
mirrored rooms. The gravity distortion machine allows you to “step” out of your
room and into another next to you. The closer you are to your original room,
the closer it looks like yours, the farther away, the stranger it looks to you.
(…If I go forward on this
world line, the future will not be my future. I get home by going back to 1975
before I arrived and then going forward to 2036.")
A few people have asked me
about this statement so I will try to clarify it.
On my worldline (A) in
2036, I was given a mission in 1975.
I turn my machine on and
jump to another worldline (B) in 1975 with about a 2% divergence from (A).
From the very point I turn
my machine off on (B), I create a new worldline just because I’m there. This
line can be described as (C) and started when I got to (B).
I am now doing my mission
on line (C) in 1975 when I discover a very a good reason to go forward on (C)
and see what happened. I turn my machine on and go forward on (C) to the year
2000.
When I turn it off, I
start another line called (D). So from my perspective, here we are on line (D)
in the year 2000. In order to go home to line (A) I must turn my machine on and
go back on (D) until I reach (C) which in turn would take me back to (B) which
in turn takes me to a point before I arrived on (B) then I go forward from the
point I arrived on (B) back to (A).
If all this isn’t enough
to get your head spinning…here are some issues we’re dealing with in 2036.
1. Did your worldline (D)
exist at all before I got here from (C)? (personally I don’t see how it
couldn’t)
2. What happens at the end
of a worldine at the edge of the superuniverse?
3. If there are infinite
worldlines and infinite possibilities and an edge to the superuniverse, doesn’t
that mean occurring events on worldliness are staggered as they reach the edge?
(time could end at any moment without warning).
Happy new year everyone!

To: Roel van Houten
Thank you for trying to
answer those questions but I really do not expect that anyone can. I thought I
would share with you things we wonder about. Your logic about me is quite
correct but again I must state that I am not trying to get you or anyone else
to believe or buy anything.
As far as evidence goes…I
have however decided to try an experiment with you that may be more convincing.
It involves the travel of information at faster than light. In fact, I have
dropped at least three little gems like this that no one else has picked up on.
You said you are confused
by the 5100 story. I will explain further. In 2036, it was discovered (or at
least known after testing) that the 5100 computer was capable of reading and
changing all of the legacy code written by IBM before the release of that
system and still be able to create new code in APL and basic. That is the
reason we need it in 2036. However, that information was never published by IBM
because it would have probably destroyed a large part of their business
infrastructure in the early 70s. In fact, I would bet the engineers were
probably told to keep their mouth’s shut.
Therefore, if I were not
here now telling you this, that information would not be discovered for another
36 years. Yet, I would bet there is someone out there who can do the research
and discover I am telling the truth. There must be an old IBM engineer out
there someplace that worked on the 5100. They just might not have ever asked if
I hadn’t pointed it out.

((I realize that you said
you are not a physicist, but I was curious if you are from the future: What is
the current status of string theory?))
Who doesn’t love string
theory? Please forgive the next few comments, I’m trying to be cryptic and jump
starting my memory at the same time. In 2036, string theory still dominates
physics due to its continued “effect” of encompassing other physical properties
from unrelated fields. A great deal of the theoretical mathematics behind time
travel was discovered by testing various ideas in string theory and eliminating
the anomalies. As I recall, it was this original work that led to the final
proof that six dimensions do indeed curl up to give us our observable universe.
This in turn supported more of the theoretical math behind time travel…etc.
It’s ironic that the beauty of string theory gives future engineers the
confidence to create the distortion unit even though the final proof is still
unknown. You’re a physics student, have you ever heard the Princeton String
Quartet play?

Mr. TT_0,
I am familiar with the
Princeton String Quartet. They are physicist who are working on string theory
at the Advanced Institute of Physics at Princeton University in New Jersey.
You mentioned a divergence
from time lines. How is it possible to measure such a divergence? I would
assume that it would be impossible to calculate how causes of one single event
would propagte into the future. Does not chaos theory make such determinations
impossible? Even if I gave you the exact position and velocity of all objects
in the universe (which is impossible(I can not even give you the exact position
and velocity of a single object due to the Heisenberg Uncertainity Principle))
you could not tell me what the future holds. Of course this results from the
fact that the objects do not represent individual closed systems but in fact
can interact.

P.S.
You said 6 curled up dimensions.
The current theory suggests that there should be at least 7 curled up
dimensions. It was discovered by Ed Witten that if you added an additional
dimension that the 5 slightly different versions of string theory would combine
into a single theory, which is often called M-theory.
I think it would be
interesting if one of these extra dimensions was timelike. There are very few
people investigating this possibility.

RGRUNT:
Thank you for considering
the problem of returning home. You seem to have stumbled on an intuitive proof
of some of the physics of time travel. You are correct, getting back to the
worldline of origin is easier than picking an exact destination on a different
worldline.
I wrote down the graphic
you outlined. If y1 starts perpendicular to x1 and x2 and is rotated, where is
the center of rotation? I imagined it between x1 and x2. If this is so,
wouldn’t y1 end up parallel between x1 and x2 with each one being 6 inches away
from y1 on either side?
SHADOW:
((The artificial
singularity you travel with, you say it forms a local gravity field. Does it
physically reduce the size of nearby objects during operation? And if so by how
much? ))
Actually, there are 2
singularities in the unit. The gravity field is manipulated by three factors
that affect it in distinct ways. Adding electric 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 to significantly alter physical
objects within a reasonable distance from the outside of the sinusoid. No,
things do not get smaller.
((If the electron
injection system alters the shape of the field, would that not force the unit
to accelerate through space as well as time?))
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 mass of the unit and any objects inside the sinusoid do not
exhibit any huge increases on the departure worldline during travel. The
observed path of the traveler is obtained by changing the gravity, not by
moving the vehicle. The black hole comes to you.
((The question is 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.

piecing together the
information in the faxes provided by the "waverider" it sounds to me
that if this be true then it is some form of advanced remote viewing.consider
the following on how he describes how he time travels:
"I am a time traveler.
Although we refer to it as riding the wave. I am a US citizen born in 1964. I
am nearly 40 years old. In 1983 I enlisted in the united states Army .it was
shortly after my enlistment and before completing basic training that I was
approached by those I now refer to simply as MY FRIENDS. This group does not
contain aliens nor interdimensional beings, they are human.
I have learned over the
years that not everyone can safely travel the wave, and I was first approached,
I was told, due to an unusually large amount of some chemical that naturally
occurs in the human body, it somehow aids in the time travel process,(MY
FRIENDS told me what chemical it was back then,but that was many years ago. and
I have long forgotten the name of the stuff. I think it has some copper or
something in it.) I have since learned that when i enlisted in the US ARmy MY
FRIENDS gained a large amount of information about me. My genetic history and
so forth, and it was this information that changed my life forever."
"I should first explain
how I travel in time. The short and sweet of it is that I was taught to target
a particular person, place or event. The more information I have on the target
the better my chance of success and the faster I reach my target. I take a
photo of the target. a sheet of paper with the information on it, a map of the
site etc. I circle the target and begin the process. I then enter a quiet
darkened area (we use to call it the pad) a period of concentration and
meditation begins. For days, weeks, sometimes even months after beginning I
will study the target, concentrate on the target,even begin to dress in the
period clothing of the target during my time in the pad ( only about two hours
per day is all I can manage.) as I begin the feel the wave approaching, i look
for the doorway, the gateway. the rip in the fabric of time or whatever you
want to call it.For me it almost always looks like a pool of water that I pass
through before entering the new time line. Some time travelers had only out of
body experiences (these people we call projectors) others of us (called wave
riders) physically disappear from the current timeline. Early on in the project
I would use a small electromagnetic tuner to help me concentrate and focus on
the target, I no longer use any aid when waveriding."

Pamela, what the Waverider
is describing sounds a lot like the technique used by the Incunabula/Ong's hat
group. They supposedly had developed inter-dimentional travel. check out tis
site: http://www.incunabula.org/
A lot of the info on the
site seems to be disinfo, but then there are pieces of the truth mixed in. Here
is another site with another point of view: http://it.t.boltpages.com/it.t/
Dimentional displacement
requires less power and technology then temporal displacement.

Hi Gary,
I posted a link to the

Thanks for sending the
"Proclaimed" Time Traveler story. It was one of the
best things that has come
into P3N and with the help of links from other

of the most visited pages. It was also very thought
provoking. Please feel
free to submit more writings or links to good stories
when you find them.
Thanks again,

Pamela, I am very familiar
with this "Waverider" I listened to his info. on the former "Art
Bell Show" known today, as the current "Coast To Coast AM"
program.
since "Premier Radio
Networks" purchased Art Bell's Legacy for a sumisable amount.
http://coasttocoastam.com
you can listen to
pre-recorded programs, up to 30 days, in the "Past Shows" selection,
on their website. Anything beyond 30 days, you will need to purchase a tape.
I believe that this
"Waverider" information & faxes, are still available in text
& jpg formats on the coast to coast website.

Curious,
thankyou for providing the
links to Ong's hat they are very interesting.I will be looking at it more
indepth.
Time 02112,
boy, the "z"
machine story got around pretty quick!
Fast,
If Art Bell has admitted
to the time traveler being fake why are the stories still posted on his site?
Knowing Art Bells
character I think he would
have written a follow up letter on it or pulled all the faxes from the site.
It still does not mean the
faxes are legitimate however.
one thing I have been
noticing though is some of the predictions were not acurate. A time traveler
from another worldline can really only testify to what he has seen on his
worldline. but now I am beginning to wonder....how many timetravelers are out
there? how many are on this worldline at any given time? how many times can you
alter events before something happens?
a lot of what waverider
spoke on in his final faxes sounds a lot like timetraveler_0's testimony. I
know TTO is going to be really interested in reading waveriders faxes. perhaps
he may be able to relate to some of the language written.

Timetravel Activist,
If you believe in the
multi-universe interpretation of quantum mechanics than everything with a
non-zero possibility plays out. Therefore, I do not see how one could say that
your future or history is being changed since one possibility, if time travel
is possible, is for your future to be changed. Of course in an alternate
universe, you would still be whatever it is that you thing has been changed
about you.
If time travel ever
becomes more than just theory, it would mark the greatest scientific moment in
all history. Surely, you must agree with that.

Mr. O,
You said that there were 7
other time travellers that you knew of who were on various missions from 2036
on your timeline. I am curious have people in 2036 been visited by people from
further in the future? One would think that once time travel was possible and
widely known that visitors from other time frames would be more likely to be
visible and willing to be upfront about their visitation to the period after
time travel, A.T.T (after time travel).

Trott,
I see your brand new here,
so I can understand if you don't know the history of what I've said in past
posts. Let me just say that yes Time Travel will be this worlds greatest
technological breakthrough, when it becomes real (to this timeline that is).
However, unlike you who
wishes to see this issue of Time Travel as a scientist in an objective manner.
I choose to see this issue
on a human/moral level. Is it ethical to Time Travel? Is it right to change the
past with the knowledge one knows now in the future?
You've all seen "Back
to the Future 2" where Marty is in the future, and he attempts to take
back with him an almanac to place sports bets in the past.
Well, you can see where
the moral implication can put us in, if our curiosity to go back and do things
in this manner will do to our society? If one person does it, others will want
to too.
If others are getting
genetically engineered, others will want to too. To keep up at least, since now
the rich who can afford it, are this super eugenic species (with intelligence
and looks). Will we say then “Survival of the Fittest?”
Where does that leave out
normal hard working honest people? Apparently that no longer exists.
Therefore, as you can see,
my only beef with Time Travel is that it can be abused. Sure it can benefit us,
but I am an Activist trying to get the word out that it's not just glamorous
and wonderful as it may sound, and that we should all jump in the band-wagon
with it.
Someone needs to look out
for humanities best interest in preserving our way of life, and I'm willing to
take on that responsibility. Who can say the same?

Hi everyone,
With all due respect, but
the story about the "Waverider" sounds pretty ridiculous compared to
the story that TimeTravel_0 provided us with.
I don't think timetravel
will exist for a couple of decades to come, maybe even centuries. But I
strongly believe that timetravel will not be possible without the aid of a
machine of somekind.
Nowadays people are said
to be using 30% of their brainpower and although people have accomplished many
great things, I don't believe the remaining 70% is enough to travel through
time. There are myths about monks and priests who were able to levitate by
focussing their thoughts, but that's nothing compared to timetravel.
Anyone?

Hi Roel Van Houten,
Is it still raining over

You forgot the weather
report at the end!
I think time travel
already exists.
One thing you have to
remember that it doesnt really matter WHEN it was ever created but IF. because
with a time machine you can travel to ANY time.
TTO has made me realize
alot of different possibilities in time travel.Things I never thought of before
I am now thinking on.
New ideas have sprung up.
new pieces of the puzzle possibly found.
about the priests and
monks...I think that would involve more the will, spirit, and amplified
thoughts than just the brain alone.
Does anyone have any
thoughts on the "Z" machine?

I'm sorry but I don't
believe the Time Traveler is from the year 2036. Pamela u seem like a smart
woman how can you believe that he is a time traveler where there is nothing that
he says could prove that he is. You even beleived the guy who called the Art
Bell show and it's pretty sure that HE is a fake. The only thing that makes me
think that Time Travel is possible was a incident that happened to me in 1995.
It was a Saturday and I was living in Manhattan. I had to get up early to move
the car from the meter.Standing in the corner of my block looking like he was
waiting for the bus was a man that looked exactly like me.It really scared me.
I saw him and he saw me. I just took off running (which I regret). Was that me
from the future?? Or was that someone that just looked like me? I don't know

I’ve been reading the last
few postings with a bit of confusion. I see there is controversy over my
“story” that is causing some people to ask themselves if they believe it or
not.
For quite a while, I have
been stating that not only do I not expect anyone to believe me, it’s
irrelevant and in my opinion, quite dangerous. Belief implies that you accept
what I say as true and real. Over the internet, this is impossible. In fact, I
have stated before, there are many people in 2036 who do not believe in time travel.
As I stated before, I also
think that unwavering belief is dangerous. One very disturbing thing I have
noticed about your society in general is your blind acceptance of what you are
told. Do you really think the news industry doesn’t have an agenda? Do you
really think those hamburgers you stuff into your body are safe? Do you really
think your government is telling you the truth? What proof do you have of any
of that?
What I do want you to do
is open your eyes to the events that happening around you that have nothing to
do with me. Some of you have been reading for a while now about the war in 2015
and the breakthroughs in particle physics that would be coming soon. Doesn’t
the CIA report on 2015 and news on the z-field compression at least support
what I’ve been saying a little bit? I just saw another story today about the
Russians moving Nuks into the Balkins to thwart any future expansion by NATO. I
also haven’t heard anyone take me up on my “information experiment” on the IBM
5100 or check out the information I’ve given you about the UNIX failure in
2038. With all due respect… I find it hard to take some of you seriously.

i have read all the 6
pages of this board, and i can see all is about the story of mister tt_0, i
only can had 1 conclusion, its AMAZING; but just amazing, i mean the only thing
we can do is belive or not, but cmon we are phisycs, we not belive, we KNOW,
our knowledge is based on the brain, the belive is based on heart, its
important belive in something but not be blind for this, i come to this
board(whit another nick) a few months ago and you just talking about ways to
travel in time, pure teorical phisics, but now this board seems like belive or
not belive, love or not love the mister tt_0.
I am not against the m.
tt_0, if he travel or not, for me is his problem, i mean the first time i read
the m. tt_0 i think woao!!! a real time traveler!!, but a few seconds later, i
was disapointed because i wanna be the man who make the time machine, i wanna
be the first time traveler, and this guy come and said i travel in time, i was
blue, but then i think may be i or we will be the builders of the time machine,
but this only can hapen if we do phisycs, if we do teories, if we do
experiments, ni mean, this cant hapen if we only are limited to belive and love
or not belive and no love an "apparental time traveler", or if we
just talk about "its true or not the time traveler".
In 6 pages of board you
just talk about how will be the future, belive or not, our society is bad or
not, cmon stop do this questions, the future we will see it in a few years, the
society is so bad all of we know that, the war of 2015 will be (if be)for some
valid reasons or not valid but we cant do anithing about that, or if we do it
will be another line in time, so we never know if we do it or not.
So mi point is stop talk
about "its true or not " and lets think about "how can we do a
time travel". Just think, which one is the dream of all of us? and the
chose betwen talk or think, belive or do it fact.

you will not, but you can not post any evidence to the contrary.
However you have done your

Its been a long time since
anybody has had to worry about converting IBM legacy code into more modern
language. I'm not sure even when the 5100 was made, I'm guessing the early to
mid '70s. The term geek hadn't even been invented yet. Before 1980 only
overworked men with bad hearts ever saw a computer. In short, the supply of
5100 experts is probably too thin to show up on this small board. So wadda we
know?
Heck, Colonel Corsoe &
Co. would have us believe that the IBM line was copied from a crashed alien
sauser.
The 2038 date bug in Unix
is no secret. It just runs out of bit space for holding larger date code
numbers. I worried a whole lot about the Y2K bug. I got my butt fooled. I lost
half of my net worth AND two years of work. Whoopie. LET the friggen thing blow

Don't want to brag, but I

like days, but be only a matter of hours passed. Other times I have visions and

Wow!
This is some thread huh!
The longest and most debated one I've ever seen on this board.
(I trust everyone had a
Happy New Year for the true Millenium.)
And especially want to
wish Pamela the best in her continuing pursuits for truth in the next Thousand
years.
For rgrunt:
It appears I may have
publicly judged you too harshly. And I hereby appologize for anything that came
across as a personal attack. Your post above has opened the door to a world of
dialog that we may indeed find a way to come together on. You are no longer the
faceless, dogmatic spewer of antiquated rhetoric I once thought you to be. (It
does seem that this "paradox" issue has taken conversation on this
board into directions I never thought possible. But then... God is the ultimate
paradox is He/She not?)
Please understand that
when you say ... "I do admit that the information I recieved came second
hand so I trully cannot vouch for the accuracy." ...is something I
suspected all along but can't help myself when it comes to jumping on the
particular type of dogma that it represents. No Personal offense was ever
intended.
Please also understand
that when you say I "...claims that creation is completely proven wrong
" ...
... that I DO NOT claim
THIS at all. I merely state (without CLAIMING anything at all) that the account
of creation as is metaphorically described in the Book Of Genesis in The Bible,
first version, is just that. A metaphor. Not a true depiction of actual history
in the literal sense.
I'm not disclaiming the
existence of God here, or the CONCEPT of Creation per se. Nor am I saying that
in so denying, that I am therefore subscriptive to the A-Theistic point of
view. On the contrary.
In the true sprit of
Paradox, (which this thread's topic is all about), I merely offer the easily
verifiable evidence and duplicatable proof that such an occurance as the
so-called Biblically depicted "great flood" is in itself a physically
impossibility.
It would be a great leap
of faith indeed for anyone to PRESUME from this statement that I in any way
dispute the existence of God. But also be aware that while I do not refute His
existence, I also do not accept it unconditionally. At least based on the words
of one anthology that exists from the ancient days of Western European Mythology.
Particularly since this Anthology to which I refer (The Bible) never existed in
it's present form until the late 15th Century when Guttenburg invented the
printing press that brought all these previously unconnected "Books"
together. And even then, after much language translation from various sources
such as Hebrew, Islamic, Christian, etc.
To place scientific
credibility in such a document would be folly on the "wishful
thinkers" of the world to say the least.
This is not to say that
the document does not have value as a representative example of the moralistic
values in any society in folklore, (including our own), but it needs to be
studied in the true context of what it is. A historical account of the world as
THOSE WHO LIVED AT THAT TIME saw it. The moral lessons contained therin may
indeed be timeless, but the science is purly from the point of view of the then
ignorant. (No offense to them, they simply didn't know any better.)
So ultimately Mr.
Schasteen, please understand that from what I see in your last post, we may
indeed not be that far apart on the moralistic or philosophistic level, but at
the purely scientific level, well, as Einstein said, "God does not play
Dice with the Universe."
And He (if he truly
exists), DID NOT flood the entire Earth 6000 years ago, nor did He
"create" the Earth in a matter of what we call "six days".
"He" MAY very
well have "Created" it, and the rest of the Universe for that matter.
I take no issue with this nor do I advocate the possibility either way. I'll
leave the possibility of these matters to the likes of Dr. Stephen Hawking and
others of his ilk who can present logical arguments that support BOTH points of
view far better than my humble ability to elaborate upon.
For specifics though, I've
already provided links to a number of sites where raidiometric dating processes
can be studied and understood (I'll leave you to chase those down and do the
same research I've already done), and hopefully leave you with the
understanding that I also meant NO insult to you in any personal way.
After all,
"rgrunt" and "DaViper" are just handles anyone can use to
sign onto a BBS/Message board anywhere on the net and represent themselves to
be anyone they wish to present themselves as.
In the end, it's the words
and what one has to say that matter here.
And very little else.
Peace.

Actually, I thought it was

To Juanito,
My friend i know where
your coming from...
I've had a
...erm...falling out with T-T-0 in the past as you have no doubt seen if you
have read the past messages.
Let me say one thing, He
knows what he's talking about.
More than everyone else on
this board i might add, aside from perhaps the moderators!!
Or else why would people
be asking him so many questions about theories and things wev'e only dreamed
about. Perhaps your right, perhaps he is only trying to open our eyes. But do
you act on the information he has given us or do you dismiss it as pure
fantasy? Open your eyes and think about what he has to say! I did and so did
everyone else who post or even read this board
A sidenote... Rgrunt, what
happened to your blackhole contraption?
Sincerly,

Juanito,
I can't say about the
others, but your right. I asked him questions I already know the answers to. If
he answers them correctly, then he is from the future.
He's not the only one in
this board who claims to have Time Traveled =).
Hey you and me lets stick
together on this. There seems to be alot of team play action going on here.
Alot of people watching each others backs, if you know what I mean.
Someone needs to set them

timetraveler_0 would have

Hi everyone,
Pamela, to respond to your
previous post:
yes, we've had some snow
over here, but it's raining cats and dogs again as usual.. :-)
From our point of view,
lets just say "this worldline", timetravel does not yet exist. To put
it in other words: timetravel will (probably) exist in the future, but assuming
time goes by in chronological order it does not exist yet.
If we take a
"non-linear" approach to time, timetravel does indeed already exist.
It all just depends on the way you look at things. I guess we're both right in
this case.
As for Timetravel_0. I'm
very sceptic about the story he has provided us with. But it remains an
interesting story nonetheless. It doesn't matter whether we believe it or not.
At least he's caused a 6 page thread and he made people think about certain aspects
of modern society. It's only logical that someone from the future has no gain
in proving that he really is a timetraveler.
So lets just stick to the
subject of timetravel instead of proving or disproving the story of
Timetravel_0.
As for Juanito and
TimeTravelActivist. Listen very carefully, I shall only say this once ;-)
Perhaps it's a good idea to start a new thread called "The
Resistance" or something similar. That would be a great opportunity to
discuss the "danger" of timetravel and recruit new members.

Amsterdam, it feels like I'm freezing yet the water that falls from the sky

The thing that I picked up
from Mr. TT_0's recent post is that he seemed to be saying that time travel is
not something you believe in or disbelieve. That is not how things work, you
must discover and experiment not just take in what others may say. If people
just sat around saying I believe it is possible to fly and never went out and
tested it then we would never have made aviation possible. Likewise, we can
neither definitively accept or deny TT_O's claim of being an actual time
traveller until physical and hence experimental proof of time travel is
obtained.
My past inquiries of TT_O
were merely for my curiousity. I have never accepted or denied his claim.
Although, I must admit the easiest and most uncomplicated solution would be
that he is not. As far as that wave rider person, his statements on the fax are
contrary to our historical line and hence I do not buy his story. I personally
do not see how time travel could be possible just using the physical body and
mind anyway.

in the 2036,do they still
publish books?
if so,do they still have

that I can not readily anylize with my own senses. I will look up the
information and if I find anything that supports either side I will post it at
a later date. I will not endorce it til I have done the experiments myself
though to ensure accuracy. I also have a great deal of respect for you in that
you seem to be a man that truely seeks for the truth and are carefull to accept

Dear P-Light,
I appologize for the
delay. I am now teaching myself geometry and calculas for I did not have the
opportunity to learn these forms of math in high school. I was lucky to get a
chance to learn algebra. After I have finished teaching myself these subjects I
believe that I will have the knowlege to convert the theory behind the black
hole device into a mathematical statement using calculas. Graphic proofs are
great but all of the physics journals I have read are written using calculas to
represent mathematically whatever measurement is being discussed in that
particular journal. As for the device itself in light of my lack of education I
went ahead and contracted it's development to a research and development firm
by the name of Davison and Associates. The device is to be a generator for
sale. But the generator operates on the same theory in that increase in
electrical current and voltage is obtained by constricting a parallel
probagating e and h field to a smaller given space. I am not aware of whether
compressing and electric field or an electric field will power output of a
generator but I know that focusing a magnetic field to a smaller area increases
the strength of the field in that area like sunlight focused through a convex
lense. And I believe one way to increase the electrical output of a generator
is to increase the field strength of the magnets being used to generate the
electricity. So I cannot see why the device will no produce higher electrical
voltages at higher amperage. (all parts are powered by dc current)If one tries
to focus a magnetic field that is generated by an alternating current the field
will decrease in amperage as the field is constricted on acount that the
frequency of the field is increased as the field is twisted up. Imagine a
spring, if you will, and let each revolution in the helixical spring determine
the frequency. If you twist the sring in the one direction the distance between
the spring crests and troughs will decrease as the spring is tightened thus
increasing the frequency of the spring. As a ac current frequency increases the
ac output decreases. I imagine that dc is different. I could be wrong in my
interpritation of the ac theorum I just stated.

In 2036, community life is
a bit different. People are valued and judged based on their contribution and
worth. Work is organized around the family and the value of that work is
assessed inside of the community. Most communities range in size from 1000 to 4000
people. If a family wanted to move from one community to another or if a son or
daughter wanted to move to another community, they must apply and be
interviewed by the community leadership council. During this process, the
family or individual is evaluated as to whether or not the work or skill they
have is required or necessary to that individual community. Once accepted, the
family or individual is expected to uphold their end of the work and support
the community. If they don’t, the community stops supporting them and they are
forced to change their attitude or move away from the community.
The family work we did was
picking, sorting and shipping oranges by sailboat up and down the coast of
Florida. We were expected to produce a certain amount for the community and a
certain amount for other communities as agreed to by our CLC. In exchange, we
received power, water, a certain amount of food and other necessities that were
produced inside our community.
I see this message board
as a small community and I have no other way to value the contributions of
others on it other than what my past experiences tell me. I have tried to
answer as many questions as I can without being annoying, repetitive or
inappropriate… and for some of you entertaining. Under these conditions, I have
decided to seek guidance from all of you, the other members of this community,
as to whether or not my postings are of any value to the direction of these
discussions. If they are getting distracting or repetitive, I will stop and continue
to enjoy reading your thoughts and ideas.
((Who receives the Nobel
Prize for inventing time travel? Surely, since there is a divergence from your
time line such information would be of no consequence to divulge.))
There are a great many
people involved with the discovery of time travel. Just as I will not give
“stock tips”, I will not divulge their names as that may impact their lives
now.
((Timetraveler_0 have you
ever heard of the "Waveriders"?))
No, I can’t say that I
have although I am in no position to say if it’s true or not.
((What could you surmise,
as to what might happen, as a result if you provided us with copies of various
news articles in relation to "Technology Reports" published a year in
our future, or any "Time" after (Such as in your
"Worldline" as you so describe?))
If I had any and I
published them, I’m sure they may have a large impact. Unfortunately, I don’t
have any with me. Even if I did, I’m sure they would be scrutinized also. Again
we get back to the same question. If you were a time traveler, what would you
do to establish your credibility?
((You said that there were
7 other time travellers that you knew of who were on various missions from 2036
on your timeline. I am curious have people in 2036 been visited by people from
further in the future? One would think that once time travel was possible and
widely known that visitors from other time frames would be more likely to be
visible and willing to be upfront about their visitation to the period after
time travel, A.T.T (after time travel)).
No, I am not aware of time
travelers visiting my worldline in 2036. However, that does not mean it can’t
or isn’t happening. Also, the possible number of worldlines a time traveler
might arrive at would place the chances of them hitting any particular one at
very long odds.
((However, there is one
thing I would like to know. TimeTravel_0 if in fact you have been to the
future, what happens to JCS- ME =)? Am I deeply involved in this Time Travel
project as well? What of the resistance?))
I have no idea what
happens to you in your future. There was a resistance on my worldline but their
goal was to maintain power and control over other people. We killed most of
them by 2020.
(Does anyone know how big
an IBM 5100 is??)
I would say its about 20”
long, 10” high and 30” long.
((I've had a
...erm...falling out with T-T-0 in the past as you have no doubt seen if you
have read the past messages.))
I’m not aware we had a
falling out. I apologize if you think that’s the case.
((in the 2036,do they
still publish books?
if so,do they still have
those Cliff Notes books? the yellow ones,about things like physics and geometry
and common time displacement theory and such?
hint hint... ))
Yes, books are still
published. If I had any cliff notes with me I would let you decide if they
should be posted or not.
((is the government
regulating the time machine you used to get here, or are you free to do as you
choose?))
The displacement machine
is not mine but I am free to make certain decisions based on the experiences
and information I gather from each worldline. I am expected back but from their
perspective, I will only have been gone for a split second.
((So do you plan on keep
avoid answering my questions? You been awfully quiet since I've returned...
Time Traveling must keep you very busy huh.))
I’m not sure what
questions you are referring to. You did ask one question about yourself, right
below the link to your website. I am confused why you would think I would know
anything about you.

Thank you rgrunt. Peace

trott:
Well said.
I think sometimes poeple
confuse "open minded" with "gullible".
Open minded is when you
are ready (open) to recieve any information that can be enlightening or even
just plain subjective to you. In this, all things are possible.
Except...
Being gullible. This is
when you unquestioningly accept something just because someone else says so.
One has to do one's own homework to get to real truth.
Gullibility then
deteriorates into the worse condition of all. Self imposed ignorance. This is
where one accepts as true, that which has ALREADY BEEN PROVEN to not be so. Or
continues to believe that something is NOT so when it has been proven to be
true. Those who still believe the world is flat fall into this last category.
And they are STILL out there.
Maybe TT_O IS a Time
Traveller. But his reluctance to offer any proof of such damages his
credibility. Saying he "doesn't care" whether he is believed or not
is really nothing more than a cop out. And allows him to side-step the issue of
proof.
I cannot say for sure
whether Time Travel is, or ever WILL be possible. I simply don't know. But I
have a certain amount of confidence that TT_O is NOT one.
His story IS creative. But
the physics just don't add up.

Well that was a pretty
interesting picture of the future you painted for us TimeTravel_0. Although,
that is just 1 version of events. And your complete disregard of your Time Line
will cease to exist now. Telling us this, will without a doubt change all that
you described.
If in fact it's true hehe.
Personally, I know already
that life will turn into one big collective in the future. Hence my
resistance...
Individuality as people in
the way we lead our lives, is no longer our choice. Then you know that my
resistance will fight for the freedom to destroy oppression.
Further more, my identity
in the future would most likely be changed ... Nevertheless, if you have been
to the future, you know who I am.
No doubt about that...

Hey, listen up... As a
Time Traveler to the future my self, I have seen the uniforms. I have even put
one on. Therefore, if TimeTraveler_0 can offer us a picture of his uniform as
proof, I will verify it's legitimacy with the one I wore.
However, I wouldn't count
on you actually telling us the truth... I know people, and I can sense when
they are telling the truth, and when they are lying.
Isn't that right people?
(Those of you who know me, when have I ever been wrong about people?). I told
you so, so many times .
Anyway's, if you can get

We will invite 3 or 5 members to represent each side.
Your side, claiming to
have Time Traveled and making a big public notice about it. And me, who will
set the record straight and who will verify your story. Let me just let you
know right now; this won't be an easy chat for you. There will be no more posts
where you can think of what to say and take your time with.
You will be caught in lies
either by me, or my side of members.
So, are you up to the
challenge? Answer A.S.A.P. by Go or No-Go. However, if your answer is No-Go,
please supply a statement saying why.
Got to go for now.

TT_0 thanks for the reply
RE: sharing future technological reports, or publications...
You have expressed an
inability to provide them now, for lack of having any with you, before you
arrived in our "Worldline"
Could you please make a
note, to remind yourself to bring them with you on your "Next Visit"
here?
(Providing there will be
another "Visit")
Meanwhile, why not use
your memory to paint us a more "Specific" picture of your worldline,
by providing us with some more "Detailed" information that would
provide to those who may be more skeptical? in the least by accepting this
challange (instead of avoiding it) what harm would it possibly bring? if you
keep out any information that may not be acceptably permissable in order to
prevent any clandestine repercussions of the future outcome of a series of
events which are crucial to our future to come, so that they may play out their
roles, as they were intended, I can only see that there are still many variable
details that you "CAN" Disclose to us that would not be this
detrimental, and only "Add" to your Credability.
One good example of such,
I would like to ask you to disclose the names of these "Five
Presidents" that you mentioned earlier.
*Who:> Who are they?
and who are those involved
with breathing life into this supposed NWO, that many people in our current
world-line are so afraid of?
*What:> A.)What are
their primary, and post secondary functions within the New GVT?
B.) What is the extent of
their Authoritive positions of power?
C.) What is our New GVT
like, compared to our worldline's current GVT?
(is it anything Like the
Dreded NWO as predicted?, or did this dictatorial NWO rise to power as
prohecised, and suddenly get defeated?*(was this what you implyed by your
earlier comment represented by the nuber of those slain, that attempted to
"control" the free citizens?)
*Where:> Where do they
reside?
*When:> When do each of
them officialy acquire their respective positions of Authority?
Why:> Why did the New

Assuming time travel is
possible. I do not see how one could band it from being used. In fact, how
would one even know that it was used? If you buy into the multiple universe
intrepretation of quantum mechanics, would not the time traveller simply pop
out of existence in our universe never to be seen again? How would it be
possible to band time travel in the infinite multitude of parallel universes,
since each universe represents one of an infinite albeit different sequence of
events/choices? To "fight" against the infinite diversity of
existence in all of its infinite combinitations does not seem logical (at least
to me that is). And if you do not buy the multiverse idea, then if time travel
is to be used it can not be stopped since time travel would only be possible on
closed time like curves, i.e. self-fulfilling destinies in a manner of
speaking. Personally, I do not even see how it is possible for one to realize
that they were in a closed timelike loop much less escape it. For all things
would be as they were as they are and as they will be. Actually, a lack of
multiple universes seems a little depressing to me. It seems it would imply an
unchangeable fate, for whatever actions we take we were destined to and no
matter what technologies we may think up would be able to erase the mistakes of
our past or change the past course of our existence. And if that is in fact the
case, the only real benefit time travel would have is for scientific and
historical purposes. Unless, you were killed by a time traveller from the
future but if that happens you need not worry because it was suppose to happen!

in fiction. I can't remember the author, but it appeared in one of the Hugo
Annual Anthologies.
The premise is, if you
have a machine that can travel in time, you can just as easily use it to simply
"see" into the future (or past) without having to actually travel
there.
You can set it to whatever
period you like. 1 million years from now. Or 100. Or even 1/10th of a second
from now.
Why would you choose this latter
setting? Why, to see into your neighboor's bedroom of course. 1/10th of a
second into the future is virtually like being there now.
This is why it was banned.

DaViper,
i wasnt aware that time
travel had been banned..
Trott,
if they wanted to ban time
travel,"they" could kill you off when you returned..
TTA,
i remember some time ago
on the artbell show,some woman claimed to be a "born time
traveler".She said she would occasionally slip in and out of other time
lines.she said she always returned to where she left off in our time.
is this the way it is with
you?

Hi people,
I agree with Trott here...
Banning time-travel (if time-travel is possible in the first place) seems
virtually impossible.
However I find it very
disturbing that people would want to ban time-travel. That's like trying to
stop the invention of computertechnology. Time-travel may prove to be very
useful in the future.
TimeTravelActivist: You
are right, I haven't been around long enough to know what you're all about.
However, after reading your website I decided that your story is just as
trustworthy as Timetravel_0s'story, but it lacks evidence. Yet you want him to
prove that he's a timetraveler. Don't you think that's a little bit unfair?

How is it unfair? He says
he can prove it, he has the evidence necessary to.
What do I have? Just my
own experiences as proof. If anything, it's unfair to me. I have nothing to
bring out in the open.
Fast,
I'd like to hear this news
broadcast. Sounds like something I might be experiencing. Once when I was 7, I
told my sister, Abraham Lincoln wasn't supposed to have been killed. Ever since
then, she still thinks I'm a bit crazy . Go fig…

P.S. Baning Time Travel to
exploit the past is what I meant. You people took me to literal, everybody
knows that that’s what I always mean by baning it …

Good evening, morning , or
afternoon everybody,
For a year or two I have
started to pay attention to a phenomenon that most people including myself had
noticed but taken for granted. The phenomenon is that some days appear to be
longer then others. I cannot count the number of times that I felt it was 5:30
pm in the afternoon then go to check the clock and notice that it is only 2:00
pm, merely an hour after I had last checked. Also, I cannot count the number of
times that I have thought that it was 2:00 pm in the afternoon and go to check
the clock only to find out that it is 5:30 pm. One or two years ago I began to
suspect that time itself was indeed fluctuating. So on days that felt longer I
asked others if the day was going by fast to them. To my surprize the answer
was unanimous. Everyone also felt that the day was going by slower then usual,
too. I was looking at an astronomy book last week and noted that space-time is
expanding. At the begining of the universe the temperatures of the universe was
extremely high and decreased as space expanded. Now I questioned whether there
would be any difference if the actual size of the universe were getting bigger
as the universe expanded keeping space uniform in density or whether the size
of the uniform were fixed and the addition of new space-time resulted in an
everincreasing space-time density. I reasoned that the results would be the same
for energy occupies space. If the quantity of energy is kept constant and more
and more space is crammed into the quantity energy ones first intuition is to
assume that the energy per unit volume will increase as a result of the
increased compression of space. But this is wrong in fact the energy per unit
volume will decrease as a result of compressed space. The reason is that when
one compresses a greater quantity of space-time into a constant quantity of
energy the energy occupies a greater volume of space. As energy occupies more
space the density of the energy decreases as a result of expansion of the
energy which is defined as energy occupying greater volumes of space. Now If
mass occupies a greater quantity of energy: the energy(that is not mass) will expand
and decrease in density. Also energy is generated by friction as the mass is
crushed to a smaller volume. This extra energy is neglected in the former
statement in that it is the free energy in the form of heat/light that we are
interested in not the energy created by the crushing of the mass nor the energy
added by the exertion of kenetic force to crush the mass to a smaller volume.
As mass increases the energy expands. As energy increases mass expands
decreasing in density which is the principle behind the function of hot air
baloons. As space increases exponentially and as the number of points increases
exponentially the density of space is increased. As the density of space is
increased the temperature of space is decreased as the constant thermal energy
constant occupies more space. If space increased from all pionts no energy will
be created by friction since no space is forced to move into tighter quantities
on acount that the number of points is increased symetrically to the increase
in volume of space. Now as energy is increased per unit volume time becomes
accelerated for that volume as is manifested in a heated object as the
molecules of a heated object is sped up relative molecules in cooler masses
outside that object.

I noticed last week that
time was dragging nearly taking up nearly twice the time then normal for a given
day. I also noticed that it was sunny and the humidity level was low and
thermal properties high. Today is monday and I and the rest of the people I
worked with noticed that the day went by dramatically faster then
normal...taking up nearly a quarter the time for a day then any given day last
week took. I also noticed that there was a large increase in humidity and it
even rained today harder then it had in the whole year. As temperature within
water decreases within water the molecules slow down and time also slows down
for that object on acount that time is a measurement of a number of events
accurring per given instant multiplied by the velocity of those events squared.
(If those events have a velocity of light) and the number of events accuring
per given instant multiplied by the velocity of events.(if the velocity is
subluminal) I could be wrong in that time may be the number of events times the
square of the velocity regardless of the velocity with respect to the velocity
of light.) So as water increased in the atmosphere the energy perunit volume
expanded by occupying the water molecules in our area resulting in a decrease
in the velocity at which time traveled within our given region which is why my
day went much faster today.

((Could you please make a
note, to remind yourself to bring them with you on your "Next Visit"
here?))
I will not be returning to
this worldline.
((Meanwhile, why not use
your memory to paint us a more "Specific" picture of your worldline,
by providing us with some more "Detailed" information that would
provide to those who may be more skeptical?))
I think skepticism is a
good thing and no one should lose it.
((by accepting this challange
(instead of avoiding it) what harm would it possibly bring?))
I’m not sure what
“challenge” you are referring to. If you mean the live chat, I have no problem
with that. I do that quite often on other boards. However, I fear I have very
few bread and circuses left and I fear I am becoming quite boring. Also, I’m
not sure I fully understand the nature of the challenge.
http://communities.msn.com/THETIMETRAVELCOMMUNITY
((if you keep out any
information that may not be acceptably permissable in order to prevent any
clandestine repercussions of the future outcome of a series of events which are
crucial to our future to come, so that they may play out their roles, as they
were intended, I can only see that there are still many variable details that you
"CAN" Disclose to us that would not be this detrimental, and only
"Add" to your Credability. ))
Again, I do not seek to
add to my credibility. There is no point to it. Actually, by providing
information that was usefull, I would be adding to your collective fear that I
am real. In that case, this cycle we are in concerning “truth” only spirals and
gets worse.
((One good example of
such, I would like to ask you to disclose the names of these "Five
Presidents" that you mentioned earlier.))
Over the past few
postings, I have tried to describe the limits of what I will talk about and
why. Here is a short recap list. In future postings, I will place the following
number next to each question as to why I will not discuss it.
1. I will not disclose any
information that will cause someone to personally gain by its knowledge. This
means no stock or sports tips.
2. I will not disclose any
detailed information that would allow someone to avoid death by probability.
This means no earthquake or bombing information.
3. I will not disclose any
information that may compromise any future actions by individual people or
threaten their family and well being.
((*Who:> Who are
they?…)) --------- 3
((…and who are those
involved with breathing life into this supposed NWO, that many people in our
current world-line are so afraid of?))
On my worldline, we are no
longer afraid of the “NWO”. Are you afraid of Nazis?
((*What:> A.)What are
their primary, and post secondary functions within the New GVT?))
The reason the job of
President was split into an office of 5 has 4 main reasons. With 5, foreign
policy is more consistent, power shifting between parties has less of an impact
on the overall government, individual strengths between presidents add to the
strength of the overall office, and one president is elected for each major
area in the United States.
((B.) What is the extent
of their Authoritive positions of power?))
The office of President is
far more diluted and decentralized than it is here. The powers of the national
government are more defined and reside more at the county and state level.
((C.) What is our New GVT
like, compared to our worldline's current GVT?))
I think the new government
is good. However, since the concept of nationally subsidized welfare is gone,
most people here may not appreciate it.
((*Where:> Where do
they reside?))
The new US capitol is in
Omaha Nebraska.
((*When:> When do each
of them officialy acquire their respective positions of Authority?))
The voting for individual
candidates is on a rotating schedule.
((*What are the other TT's
worldline destinations, and missions?))
I am not aware of the
details of other missions. Of the seven, three had already left before I did. I
suspect they are on similar missions.
((*Are any of them,
besides yourself, on our current worldline that you are aware of?))
No, the chances of that
are very slim.
((*Are you in contact by
some special means with any other TT's? (if so, How is this done?))
No, although I would
suspect that is not impossible I have no idea how you would do that.
((*How is it possible to
send a message through Time?))
Unless the information
physically travels with the person, not that I'm aware of.

I appologize,
I meant to say that time
was accelerated and the energy per unit volume lower at our respective position
as a result of the increased density of air as a result of increased humidity.
I donnot mean to say that time actually slows down but sequence of events are
accelerated outside the reqion of higher humidity with respect to those events
within the region of higher humidity as a result of the area of higher humidity
having a lower energy density then the region of lower humidity. This is indeed
counter intuitive and requires a unique perspective of the model to totally
understand. Most scientist would agree that higher energy densities occupy
masses of higher density. This is because the masses of higher density will
have atoms with more electrons and protons enabling higher angles of energy
deflection within the mass prolonging the period of time required for the free
propagation energies to permiate through the solid medium. When I speak of
eneries I am refering to the electro-magnetic spectrum. I would like to
appologize for butchering the english language in my last two postings, but I
was on a timer and did not have time to hit the 'spell check' button. In short,
I really do wander if there is a sort of time dialation within the atmosphere
caused by the fluctuating levels of temperature and humidity. Can anyone
coment? I was also realizing that by compressing energy to a smaller volume of
space that space would likewise expand taking on lesser density even without
having to stretch at all. This would mean that the total volume density of a
volume of space is defined mathematically as S=1/e^2 where S is the density of
space and e is the density of energy. (a side note to Plight: this is part of
the mathematical model for the device in that as the radius of the magnetic
field decreases to zero at 180 degrees torque: the energy density of the field
increases to infinity as the space-time density decreases to zero. Beyond 180
degrees torque the energy density of space space-time aquires a negative
density according to the equation S=1/e^2 where e^2 rises above
infinity(infinity not being true infinity but a convenient label for the
unknown limit value of e^2.)and the corresponding S value takes on a negative
value.

It sounds more like your
backing out TT_0.
Why not answer my posts
directly and on the same week as I posted them?
You sound fearful...
You say you cannot
disclose information that may threaten to change people in this worldline
personally. Though you have no idea how much you have changed people already
with your big mouth.
Let me ask you
something... Let's assume for a minute that you are a Time Traveler. Tell me,
what is the policy when encountering an unknown variable?
You came into this
discussion board for reasons that only you would know. To accomplish something
that you thought would benefit us? Or to relinquish some make believe fantasy
you had?
Who knows...?
But hey, don't get me
wrong, I used to play Cops and Robbers too. Super heros are cool . But when you
came here, you didn't come here as a call to save humanity... did you? No,
there was something else wasn't there?
Well, it sounds to me that
your stay here is numbered. I can only imagine what peril this will bring upon
you once you get back.
I can only say, thanks.
You've restored my will to keep up my fight to stop people like you messing up
the TimeLine.
And oh, that unknown
variable, it's me. You didn't plan on encountering resistance. Especially a
TimeTravelActivist. Hey this sounds more like something that would happen at
the end of a Scobby Do cartoon . "You rotton kids..."
I suggest you don't
underestimate the past and think you can waltz in here assuming nothing can go
wrong. You may be the Traveler, but I'm a native to this land. Take a lesson
from history, and just respect people's domain.
That's assuming that you
are a Time Traveler. But personally I think your just playing into people's
fascination with TimeTravel. Why else would you be here, in a TimeTravel
discussion Forum, claiming to be a TimeTraveler? You tell people what they want
to hear, of course there going to believe you. You only keep them guessing and
their fantasy going.
I gotta go, but you just
think about doing that again in another message board, you can expect the same
results. Someone out there, is a TimeTravelActivist just like me, ready to
speak out. Remember that...

I apologize for being

I also see that you seem

On this and many other

experience or discover time travel. What punishment would you apply to them if
the succeed? I see that you too have had time travel experience. What
punishment do you deserve?
When time travel was
discovered, there were many people who were against its development. However,
once the true nature of time was realized, the resistance faded. Even if one
worldline was able to ban, kill and stop all time travel, it will continue on
another.
However, the corollary is
also true. Take heart, on some worldline, you have succeeded and all time
travelers are dead by the hand of your followers and thinking or talking about
it is a crime.

TT_0,
You still didn't answer my
questions. Instead you went off the subject, and attempted to blame me for
something I have no control over.
Let's set the record
straight here. If TimeTravel is used wisely, ethically, and with intentions
that don't allow for an advantage in which ever side is using it. Then I am
fine with it.
But, if it is used to go
back and change events in favor of a world governmets hidden agenda, then yes I
would like them to be punished. How would you like to be exploited? Who likes
being used...?
So in retro-pects, I sense
you have anger in me, for having morals and a sense of ethics on this issue of
Time Travel. I don't want this ability to be used by eager selfish people who
want to play God with life.
Excuse me, but I may be a
bit old fashion, but traditions and ways of life are things to hold on to.
Sure, advancement of the human race is a good ideal to have as well, but not
through the means of Time Travel.
So in conclusion, I still
await your answers to my questions. What do you have to lose that you haven't
already messed up already.
I mean no disrespect, but
you don't seem to have the wisdom that I would expect someone from an advanced
future would have. Your ideals are to liberal, much like in the 70's where
things were all about Sex, drugs and free love. Nasty...
No, The worldline you
described sounds defeated, desperate, will accept everything new without
question.
You sound the same exact
way. Reading over your last post I couldn't help but feel that. If you are an
example of what people in the future feel about life, if you per-se are like a
representative of that TimeLine. I'll tell you what, that TimeLine, that world
sucks.
That's all for now, I
gotta get back to work.
Sincerely,
Javier C.

Hi everybody. Im back.
getting use to my new
computer system.
I was going to post
something here and reference it to a previous post but for some reason those
two postings have disappeared and I have been over and over pages 5,6,7,and 8
and cannot find it at all.
It was a posting by TTO
replying to ,I believe ,Trott. he made a cryptic message to him asking him if
he ever heard the "Princeton string quartet play." and trott
responded back that he knew who the scientists were in the Princeton string
quartet. I cannot find these two interesting postings at all. Does anyone know
where they are? The only one that can delete postings completely are the
moderators.MOP,DYMENZION did you delete them? Trott and TTO are not even
registered to edit their postings.
My question is WHAT
HAPPENED TO THOSE POSTINGS???????????????????????????????
Anyway I cannot refer back
to them now so I will just tell you one of CERN'S employees has recommended to
me to read "QED" the strange theory of light and matter. by Richard
P. Feynman. I was hoping it was not a big book when I got the book, at the top
of it, in purple and white were these words:
PRINCETON SCIENCE LIBRARY
(Princeton, New Jersey
Princeton University
press)
anyway I am curious about
the missing postings. TTO take a look back...do you know what happened to it?
if so write me.maybe I am just overlooking it.although I checked over those
pages 4 times!
thanks.

Mr. TT_0,
You mentioned a divergence
from time lines. How is it possible to measure such a divergence? I would
assume that it would be impossible to calculate how causes of one single event
would propagte into the future. Does not chaos theory make such determinations
impossible? Even if I gave you the exact position and velocity of all objects
in the universe (which is impossible(I can not even give you the exact position
and velocity of a single object due to the Heisenberg Uncertainity Principle))
you could not tell me what the future holds. Of course this results from the
fact that the objects do not represent individual closed systems but in fact
can interact.
P.S.
You said 6 curled up
dimensions. The current theory suggests that there should be at least 7 curled
up dimensions. It was discovered by Ed Witten that if you added an additional
dimension that the 5 slightly different versions of string theory would combine
into a single theory, which is often called M-theory.

worldline divergence is an observation variable isolated to the distortion
unit. An effective analogy would be a “gravity radar”. The unit’s sensors take
a “snapshot” of the local gravity around the unit before a flight. During
travel, this baseline is periodically checked to make sure there are no major
changes in the environment that would cause a catastrophic mass failure (brick
wall appearing from nowhere). The percentage of VGL divergence from one
worldline to another is a calculated guess by the three computers that control
the unit based on its starting point. It is useless in describing
characteristics of individual worldlines.
There is a bit of folklore
about the first distortion driver who reaches a destination with a zero
divergence. This would mean they had traveled on a spacelike trip to their own
worldline of origin. This paradox is quite possible although highly unlikely. I
wonder if anyone out there can take current string theory and make that one
work on paper?
((You said 6 curled up
dimensions. The current theory suggests that there should be at least 7 curled
up dimensions.))
I may be mistaken but I
thought it was pretty well established now that (N -10) was on track.

TT_0,
I take it you have no
further comments or intentions of answering my last post?
Considering what answering
may undermine, I can respect you sudden silence.
Anymore dialogue between
you and me and I could very well end up discrediting your claims of being a
Time Traveler.
Or on the other hand, may
very well end up supporting my point about Time Travelers intentions.
Either way, if you wish to
have a real dialogue, and meet my challenge, I still await your answer. In
addition, don't answer what and when is convenient for you. There have been a
few past posts requesting that you supply answers to. And you have only come up
with what seems to be something that is just convenient enough for someone to
quickly study in a book and post as your own knowledge.
So enough stalling…
Have a nice day,
Javier C.
P.S. Here’s another one
you can try answering for me . I been meaning to ask you, what is your
fascination with posting “kill” as your futures means of punishment? This is
the 2nd time you’d mentioned it. Don’t you have a criminal justice system in
the future anymore? Or is “killing” just your thing?

I must admit TTA, you have
succeeded in confusing me. The more I read your postings, the more I question
my understanding and local use of social interaction, courtesy and logic.
However, I also believe that all viewpoints have some inherent value even if it’s
not apparent.
((I take it you have no
further comments or intentions of answering my last post?))
I took a look at your last
posting and didn’t see any questions. However, I now realize that I may be
mistaken in assuming much of what you wrote was rhetorical. In may be helpful
if you add some indication that you are asking a question you wish someone to
comment on.
((However, there is one
thing I would like to know. TimeTravel_0 if in fact you have been to the
future, what happens to JCS- ME =)? Am I deeply involved in this Time Travel
project as well? What of the resistance?))
This is the only question
I found from your postings that you could be referring to. Again, I have no
knowledge of you in any possible future nor would I comment on it if I did. As
far as the photograph of me in a uniform, I’m not sure what that would prove
even if I had one.
((Anymore dialogue between
you and me and I could very well end up discrediting your claims of being a
Time Traveler.))
I do not seek credit for
anything. The most I hope for (for the most part) is to be at least interesting
and engaging.
((Either way, if you wish
to have a real dialogue, and meet my challenge, I still await your answer.))
Perhaps I was unclear
before. I did provide the web link earlier that does have a chat room set up
for time travel. My schedule is a bit more flexible right now at least for the
next week or so. Please take a look and let me know when you will be there
(open to anyone of course). Since there really is nothing to be gained or lost,
I look at this not as a challenge but more of an opportunity to get to know
everyone better.
((In addition, don't
answer what and when is convenient for you. There have been a few past posts
requesting that you supply answers to. And you have only come up with what
seems to be something that is just convenient enough for someone to quickly
study in a book and post as your own knowledge.))
I’m not sure what you mean
by that. In earlier postings, I have stated that I’m trying to avoid repeating
myself and frankly there are some items that are just over my head or that I
have no knowledge of. It is curious that you feel knowledge can be something
owned or somehow that becomes less worthwhile if it’s passed on.
((P.S. Here’s another one
you can try answering for me . I been meaning to ask you, what is your
fascination with posting “kill” as your futures means of punishment? This is
the 2nd time you’d mentioned it. Don’t you have a criminal justice system in

Perhaps you could take the
dialogue in question and post it with your question. However, if I understand
you, you’re asking about death on my worldline. Yes, it is more a part of our
lives than it is yours (at least for now) and capitol punishment is a reality.

I have some questions for
Time traveler_0,
I see you take things from
this world to bring back to your own world. books, computers what have ya. as
well as probably the other TT do as well.
Do you pay for those
items? or do you just "steal" them?
what do you pay with if
you pay?
If you dont pay how is it
justified to steal from another world?
could not a TT (time
traveler)basically take whatever they wanted from any time?
for example: They would
have knowledge of when a shipment of gold was being transported by truck and
they could go in and attack the truck and steal all the gold. which would be
good for any country or time and do what ever he wanted with it.
They could set themselves
up as a King in ancient Egypt and rule the world at the time.
They will have all the
power and all the money they could ever want.on this world as well as on
others.
what stops you from doing
this as well?
Are they careful who they
pick to time travel? do you have to take psychological tests before you are
chosen?
what attributes should a
time traveler have in your opinion?
What are some things they
look for when they chose someone for a mission?
If they pick a bad seed by
mistake and send them time traveling and that person does harm is there anyway
they can go after that person? I am curious about all of this.
thankyou in advance for
answering my questions.

TT_0,
there was only one
question and you answered it.
if one looks over the
temperature charts from the past back to when they first started making
them,there is a pattern.
every hundred years or so
there is a 10 year period of higher and lower than normal temperatures.after
these 10 years,the temperature levels out.
I read somewhere we were
at the end of those 10 years,so wouldnt that mean that in your time the
temperatures would be not as extreme?
also,what exactly is IT?

I was considering all the
pictures that were submitted of UFO'S on all the different TV programs. It
seems that very few people are likely to believe in something that is far more
believable then time travel. Not that I am a skeptic of time travel for if I
were I would not be trying to provide the method and energy source to enable
that and other feats. But most would only beleive in UFO's if one were to land
in their back yard and even then most would question their own sanity before
proclaiming the obvious. What possible evidence can be produced over the
internet to convince even a minute few that the time travel has accured? I
would say that collective seeing on a constant basis such that sightings become
as routine as eating toast for breakfast before all and few would be convinced.
I recall that TT-0 stated that even on his world line most of the population do
not believe in time travel. I would say how is a time travelor going to
convince a group of people from our own generation that time travel has accured
when the same feat in his/or her own time line would take quite an amazing
feat. I believe that to even consider the possibility of time travel takes a
person of faith. And it takes a person who choses to believe in time travel to
truely traverse the necesary intellectial and economical barriers to acomplish
that goal. I was considering using the superluminal waveguide where microwaves
are forced through an iron bar such that the group velocity is greater then
light as resonance to enable the iron bar to less virtually conduct the
tachyons from my source by decreasing the density of space-time that seperates
the tachyon source from the subluminal energy source and thus correcting the
space and time dialation of the superluminal and subluminal entities within the
iron antena. This will decrease the density seperating the subluminal energies
from the superluminal energies and increase the magnitude of the tavchyon field
permiating our iron antena. (please forgive any mispellings I am in quite a
hurry). This is all just an extra I believe that the above is not necesary but
will serve as maybe a tuner or rectifier. (I hope I am using these terms
right). By increasing the density of a parallel propagating e and h field to
infinity by generating a double phase field and bringing them in phase within a
region; then creating a pressure on the field by running a conducter through
the field of infinite density will result in the generation of subluminal
negative energy. That is a positronic output. By introducing the superluminal
mircrowaves one will conduct the tachyons at a higher probability rate as the
fields increase in density to infinity--at which time the conduction of
tachyons will increase in probability-which is amplitude-to an infinite
amplitude.

1. The transporter - All

big $$$ paintings, and retire. Nothing you ever own will ever be safe again
once the transporter is invented. This works just as well for TT-O's methods as
well.
2. The

Fast,
the first part of the
letter was to the general audience of the forum. The second is to certain
persons who I confer with to add to their knowlege conscerning a project that
we are involved with. The last part of the letter is part of a much larger
technical conscept only those who work closest with me would be able to
decipher, understand, or utilze that knowlege. In short I somtimes use this to
relay knowlege to my coherts. Even some of them will not fully understand this
knowlege until I am able to break it down and expain what I mean. For this is
merely to transfer the knowlege while giving away as littly usable technical
detail as possible. I will reword the first part of the paragraph:
I simply mean to state
that most of the population does not believe in UFO's despite the numerous
sightings. And that if the majority will not accept the existance of UFO's the
majority will not accept the existance of time travel either.

Ah, OK. I get your point.
I'm not one who has ever seen a UFO and also know that there are a lot of
phonies out there claiming to have experiences that are either deluded or just
plain lies from the outset.
But...I can't help
believing that the existence of extra-terrestrials MUST be so on the sheer
logic of the odds alone. I'm not CONVINCED they exist, but I can't see how they
could NOT. This is not faith, just deductive reasoning.
Time Travel on the other
hand is something I would LOVE to believe as a possibility. Would jump at the
chance to endorse if someone somewhere could give me just a glimmer of hope,
faith, logic or even reasonable speculation in the mere possibility of. But
alas, one burning question remains unanswerd for me. How does one travel to a
where/when that actually does not exist in the first place? In other words, how
is it ever not eternally here/now?

With all do respect
timetravelactivist, I am somewhat relieved that you cannot or choose not to
comprehend the information being delivered. Some info is better left to the
experts which is why I am not building my own invention. You are not the only
one who is aprehensive of the prospects and consequences of the development of
time travel. One who I would call a friend is borderline paranoid at the
prospect and has threatened recourse any such device is developed. I can
honestly say that my original intention was not the development of a time
travel device, but an energy source to enable the production and distribution
of massive amounts of energy for industrial use and/or consumption. The nature
of the device as I developed it revealed quite accidently the possibility of
yielding sufficient energy for the manipulation of time itself. It appears that
the two limiting factors that are holding back technological progress is the
limitation of energy and energy containment. It is like we used to say in
aircraft mechanic school, if you give anything enough thrust you can make it
fly as is proven by every successful flight of any given harrier fighter jet.
If you can produce enough energy I suppose anything is possible--even time
travel. I will tell you one thing though, I will not be detered from the
development and inplementation of this device--even if it must be developed
behind closed doors. I feel that it is time for the world to take serious
measures into the energy crisis. We have, so I have heard, about twenty-five
years worth of fossil fuels. Here is one possible temperary solution to prolong
the consumption of energy. I have heard that the radio-active gas radon is
quite plentiful on the lunar surface. Radon happens to be one of the radio
active gasses produced by the degradation of Uranium Metal. One option may be
to develop NASA drilling teams to go to the moon and search for uranium
deposits. If there turns out to be quite a large supply of uranium on the lunar
surface that we might be able to develop spacial containers to collect and
preserve uranium over the next 25 years while we still have the fuel sources to
do so. This might give us a couple of hundred more years of electrical energy
on our planet to research for an answer to the energy crisis by continueing
research into discovering the ultimate energy source. Since the current form of
economy is limiting us by being so dependend on oil and other competitive
businesses I thought that maybe a new economy system would be worth
considering. If we were to take the economic losses acruid by businesses that
fail to succeed on the open market and set up a virtual account and allow that
estimated monetary loss to be recirculated back into the economic system in the
form of virtual tender in the account of the failed business to spend only on
research and development. The failed business can use the cash to develop
advanced products for sell. The failed business is then free to spend the
profits gained by the newly developed products for personal gain of that
business. The bussiness can pay a small tax on the money gained to support the
goverment. The oil companies will be satisfied for no inventions can put them
out of business on account that any losses acruid by the oil companies as a
result of alternate energy sources can be claimed by the oil companies in the
form of virtual cash for them to spend on other products such as computers and
etc. The more worthy competition the oil companies gain the more money the oil
companies gain which is true for everyone. The oil companies will promote the
development of advanced tachnologies both on their own and by supporting the
competition. Everyones losses will be everyones gains. We can still allow the
current money system be usable but can also allow for monetary systems to be
kept on massive computer acounts in the form of supercomputers. By having this
set up we will use the natural human trait of greed to reinforce our
development and in the mean time decrease the crime rate by allowing all
persons to have the right to purchase shares of a given business through the
stock market. I bet that we if this system will allow every one to gain that we
would have no problem getting people to sign petitions to bring this bill
before congress. So what does everyone think? Is this a good idea? Don't hold
back now?

Hmmm.
The more I read rgrunt,
the more I tend to have respect for him as a person. I started out being very
critical of him, but in the end...
He makes no outlandish
claims, only speculations and the reasons he makes them. All in all, this seems
quite clear to me and not the least bit confusing.
Whether one agrees with
him or not is beside the point. That's in individual right. But his
pronounements are by his own admission, speculative and as such, come across in
an open minded sense. It doesn't appear to me he's trying to "snow"
anybody. I can't say the same for all others here.
And his thoughts on energy
levels relative to Time Travel seem to be right on topic as far as Paradoxes
are concerned. i.e. - Maybe Time Travel is possible IF enough energy can be
generated and contained/controlled. But that's the paradox. So far, we have no
way to do this. Maybe we never will, maybe we can solve it. But a
"Paradox" is only ever really that. Failure to understand a problem
that seems unsolvable, or the realization that there never was a problem in the
first place.
As I've said before,
"Paradox" is an invention of the mind, not something that ever
actually occurs in Nature or the Universe. They only SEEM that way to us due to
lack of understanding.

TTA:
May I politely offer that
perhaps the reason you think this thread is getting "lame" is that at
the moment it is not filled with folks who simply take someone else at their
word when they make claims of what they can do.
How is this any different
from TT_1 making claims and then sidestepping all attempts to get him him to
show verifiable evidence to back them up?
If one requires
gullibility in others to be successful in one's arguments, then the arguments
can't have much merit in the first place.
The solution to Time
travel, (if there is one), requires solid scientific investigation,
verification, and publication of said verifiable results for confirmation by
others qualified to do so.
As yet, there is little of
that going on here.

TTA:
I don't think I accused
anyone of being gullible here have I? I've stated what I think that term means,
and how it pertains to those who allow others to get away with any argument in
an unquestioned manner. I don't believe I've pointed a finger at anyone in
particular tho.
Frankly, in my opinion the
board is LESS lame when it contains sceptics who keep the conversation going in
a speculative manner, rather than when it becomes a forum for any one person to
direct the conversation while all others simply nod in agreement.
If a soultion to Time
Travel is EVER to be found, it will come from stimulated debate, which fosters
creative thought and experimentation, not "preaching to the choir".
This may be fun and all
for problems that have already been solved, but Time Travel has not. Not to any
degree that satisfies MY scepticism anyway. This is not to say I declare it to
be impossible. But I DO think thought in other than the traditional directions
(Time Machines, Parallel Universes, etc.) is in order to reach a solution if
there is one. The aforementioned are merely old ways of conceptualizing it that
have ultimately produced, well, nothing. In the way of any PROOF that is.
I doubt seriously that the
answer lies in EITHER of these two approaches. But, I COULD be wrong about that.
Thanks for your response.

P.S. TTA:
As far as your personal
experiences are concerned, I'm not critisizing what you say you experience. You
sound like a genuine person to me who is relating what you feel and even the
sometimes confusion you feel by having had these experiences. That in itself
speaks to your credibility.
Since I have not had the
experiences you have, I can't comment either way. It would seem that your
experiences suggest that Time Travel is more a spiritual experience than an
actual physical one, but even that which can be described as the
"spiritual" side of each of us as individuals, remains undefined
itself does it not.
Ergo, I cannot dismiss
them nor can I accept them out of hand. No critisism intended there. Just
ponderance of the fact that to me they are "interesting".

Thanks DaViper,
For clearing things up for
me, and for others on this board as well (hopefully).
Basically that's what I
mainly been trying to get across in my recent posts. That we shouldn't go along
with what someone says. I have only been asking the questions, no one has
bothered to ask.
And that upset-ted a few
people, forgive me folks...
Hence my little sarcasm in
that last comment I made to you; "Gullible people? Not in here... you must
be mistaken." Get it ?
Nevertheless, it's not my
place to try and convince people about my experiences. Cause it's never been
about that, it's always been about being critical of Time Travel, and Time
Travelers intentions. Some how someone keeps bringing up something about my
experiences, and that I can't prove anything, so why am I even talking if I
can't prove anything my self, is the point someone's been trying to impose on
me.
So then, the topic isn't
about my comments of my last post anymore, but of what someone criticized me
on. Then everyone gets to talking about it, as if this is what I am trying to
convince others about. huuuaggh.
It makes a big mess, it
confuses everything. I haven't made any stories, nor have I even spoken of my
experiences. Yet, it may sound like I did because that's what everyones talking
about. Further more, I would like to see if we can go back before all this
confusion started. It was when I posted a few comments for TT_O to respond, say
about 4 days ago.
They were about his
intentions as a Time Traveler. Ethical, or not? Disregarding his own Time line
by spilling the beans. Says alot, don't you think.
Sincerely,
Javier C.

In the post that follows,
I’ve tried to answer the latest questions directed at me but I am hoping you
all may be able to add some insight into something I’ve noticed. In our attempt
to communicate here, some of the comments on this board have become
increasingly hostile and negative. I see the same type of interaction when I
watch news interview programs. The guise of productive interaction and
communication is thwarted by illogical verbal attacks and misdirection. I
understand why the news does it. They are trying to hold an audience by
generating conflict. For a while, I thought that was the goal here too but it
appears that anger and conflict is being created on this site to cause genuine
harm and pain.
Its hard for me to believe
that this is being done on purpose so I have concluded I simply do not
understand some hidden element of your collective social interaction. On the
other hand, if its being done for no reason, I would understand a little better
how people in this time could accomplish so much and yet be so vulnerable to
their emotions and fears. I think it was Thomas Jefferson who believed that the
only way to sway opinion was through calm, respectful, intelligent
conversation.
Weather I’m a time
traveler or not, I suppose there are numerous ways to view my “story”. By the
nature of the communication medium, I believe it’s impossible to prove
therefore it’s impossible to believe. I agree that conversation spurs ideas. If
I’m not a time a time traveler, than perhaps the seemingly disjointed
statements I make will actually create the idea in one of you that leads to
“real” time travel.
(What is a WORLDLINE?)
Individual worldlines
represent the limits and paths physical objects take through space-time under
the laws of special relativity. They can be shown graphically on an x-y graph
with x representing distance in space and y representing passing of time. In
time travel talk, worldlines are used as a way to describe and separate the
experiences of a time traveler because various laws of special relativity
appear to breakdown and can’t be defined on a single worldline. Worldline has
also become synonymous with "alternate universe" and / or "time
line".
((I see you take things
from this world to bring back to your own world. books, computers what have ya.
as well as probably the other TT do as well.
Do you pay for those
items? or do you just "steal" them?
what do you pay with if
you pay?))
I pay for these items with
money. Personally, I believe stealing is wrong.
((…could not a TT (time
traveler)basically take whatever they wanted from any time?))
There are mass limits to
what can be taken back.
((… do you have to take
psychological tests before you are chosen? what attributes should a time
traveler have in your opinion?))
Yes, there are numerous
psychological tests. I was chosen based on my educational background and
military service. The training lasted about two years. There is a great deal of
physical training to counter the physical effects of distortion. They were also
looking for drivers who had a fair amount of self-sufficiency and an ability to
function under extreme isolation and confinement.
((What are some things
they look for when they chose someone for a mission?))
Depending on the mission,
time travelers are usually chosen for a particular mission based on their
ability to gain the cooperation of someone related to the goal on the target
worldline. In my case, my grandfather was directly involved with the building and
programming of the 5100.
((If they pick a bad seed
by mistake and send them time traveling and that person does harm is there
anyway they can go after that person? I am curious about all of this.))
Interesting question.
There is a difference of philosophy between us that should be clarified. Since
I believe that all possible outcomes and events are possible, probable and
certain, it is impossible to assign “goodness” or “badness” to a person or
situation. On some other worldline, I am an insane time traveler causing
destruction and death while TTA chases me with his band of devoted followers.
However, on this one, I am not. Since both events are certain, their value is
neutral.
Therefore, you can only
assign goodness and badness to the events and experiences you have direct
control over or witness. Only actions are good and bad, not people or things. I
suppose if I was a psychotic killer, I could accomplish my mission, avoid
capture and still return to my worldline of origin without penalty. There would
be no way for them to know what happened. However, I believe that action is
wrong and I would be accountable to my God.
((Interesting, if you are
from the future, you could tell us just exactly what IT is. Since no one will
know for sure until probably 2002 according to news reports. The picture that I
saw on ABCNEWs.com of what they thing IT is did not seem to impressive.))
I suppose this question is
my own fault. As a time traveler, I am expected to know every winning horse and
hot stock as well as the weather in all parts of the world at all times. I was
genuinely interested in your opinion of how “IT” was being presented and
advertised. Do you feel manipulated? Do you think it’s really a big deal? Do
you like the way the news is dealing with it?
((…didnt TT_0 say in a
previous post that we were looked down on by future generations, if he is from
a "parellel timeline",how would he know this??))
This worldline and my own
are almost exactly alike.
((How is this any
different from TT_1 making claims and then sidestepping all attempts to get him
to show verifiable evidence to back them up?))
Did you mean TT_0 or TT_1?
((They were about his
intentions as a Time Traveler. Ethical, or not? Disregarding his own Time line
by spilling the beans. Says alot, don't you think.))
How do you think my
actions here affect my own worldline?
((P.S. You might be
wondering why the new name. Well I got the idea for this name after playing
this cool RPG game. "The Wheel of Time." Just thought I use a new
name, as a change of pace.))
Is the “The Wheel of Time”
one of those “fantasy” role-playing games you mentioned earlier?

TT_0,
Ok man, I have to had it
to you. Your smart, and know how to please a crowd. But you have to admit that
your coming here and saying your a Time Traveler is a bit suspect. I know, that
you have a hidden agenda. You have not made clear your motives, and are only
giving us very little proof. Why you holding back...?
I still believe your
buying into people's fascination. Your a good study in communications and
science, and know how to handle upsets very well.
(You sure your not some
corporate PR guy).?
Which is probably why so
many people believe your story. But your not Anti-Time Travel like me. None of
you have ever been manipulated by a Time Travelers plan for 21 years.
Which is not to say they
are, and you just don't know it.
Am I right, TT_0? You do
alot of work in the background of our society, admit it. Adjusting things to
fit your futures agenda. That's the only reason you can ever have an interest
in the past.
You know, I don't know why
you keep making me look like the bad guy here. After all, what have I done but
just ask you some critical questions. And you respond by saying that all future
TTA are trying to murder you. I'm not you, I believe in a criminal justice
system. I wasn't trained to kill, like you were.
What are your personal beliefs
TT_0? You said you believe in God, which one? Honestly, do you think the ends
justifies the means? Don't you have people regulating Time Travel?
You said your self you
don't care what happens to your worldline. You don't care about your actions,
and what they will affect?
You are a cheater of
life... What ever happened to preservering against adversity? You take back
home the solution, without trying to handle it there. And in that, you threaten
to change billions of lives. And that strikes you as no big deal?
And what's worse, I am the
only one on this board who has enough moral sense to see that as wrong. Watch,
someone is going to attack me now.
So is there any such thing
as wrong for you TT_0 while in the past that you are forbidden to do, or is it
all just a free for all?
Yes, actually The Wheel of
Time is a fantasy role playing game. Don't you have Final Fantasy XVIII out in
2036?
Truly,
Javier C.

RE: Ugliness on the board:
TT_O shouldn't an
historian-anthropolagist, even an amateur, be a bit more up to speed on
psychology? There is no big mystery here. It is simple. Some people get off on
telling others what to do. Others get sick of listening to it. I'd like to say
here that the 'some people' I refer to, know who they are. But I'm not sure
they do.
Here is a theory for you.

doubting their sanity". (And this where you say "you don't know the

There is a problem with
the second half of page 9.
It won't post for some
reason. So I posted the first half. I sent the second half to Olav to see if he
can figuere out what is causing it not to be posted. When we identify the
problem it will be placed in this little area here.
-Ok found out what the
problem was. There was a spot where John was quoting Javier and he had arrows
there I replaced the arrows with 5 stars.
The arrows was the problem
so they were deleted and the 5 stars were added in their place.

Although I do not post
here often, I do enjoy the thoughtful discussions and
mind challenging questions
that arise...
The spiritual aspect of
TT_O 's discussions and presentations have been
especially interesting,
given my interests.
*smiling* I chuckled at
the perception of time and the knowing not with
God... some concepts are
indeed timeless.
Everyone needs a devil's
advocate...someone to muddy up the waters...it
creates an atmosphere
where belief is supported by the interaction of faith,
a sense of knowing, and
the physical reality we each experience daily...
If we are not challenged
and nudged to think beyond accepted thought, then
we can not create
opportunities to broaden our scope of thinking... thus
experiencing.
Perhaps we do not all
agree on the process by which the challenge and nudge
are laid down...yet there
is inherent value in all things.
Be safe and dream sweetly.

Alright!
For me, this is all
beginning to work now in the manner I hope everyone has
intended it to. Yup. It's
gettin' "curiouser and curiouser".
Enforcer: (cool name.
Choose what you like, I'll run with that. And I think
I'll stay DaViper for a
while.)
You are right. Once
everyone comes around to admitting that none of us has
the answer, we can cut to
the chase of REALLY seeing if we can find one. And
I know we ALL would like
to find one or we wouldn't be here in the first
place would we.
TT_0:
I stand corrected. I
mis-typed your handle and it came out TT_1 by mistake.
I appologize for that.
I also stand by my
assesment of what I see you doing. No offense. I've
checked your web site and
will say that I think the SITE is well done and
interesting. But I cannot
surrender my opinion that it is Fiction as you
have always intended it to
be. And not that bad at that.
I see you as a person who
is utilizing fiction to express your opinions as
to how the problem of time
Travel COULD be solved. OK. As I've said before,
this board itself is
presented as "fiction" in the first place, as it states
right on the Home Page.
But... does THAT stop us from contemplating the
possibilities that we ALL
would like to explore. On the contrary! It
stimulates them. The Web
Authors here have accomplished their goal in
getting the topic off the
ground for discussion. It's a great site. I
personally have been
visiting it for over two years now under various
handles.
(I'll stick with
"DaViper" for now.)
So...
Since (to me anyway), the
topics of "Time Machines" and "Parallel Universes"
have been beaten to death,
how about exploring other possibilities as to a
possible solution, since
these two ALWAYS lead to SOME form of Paradox which
I hope we all agree CAN'T
be so by the very nature of the simple fact that
the Universe contains NO
Paradoxes.
In short, I think there is
something awry with ALL of our thinking,
including MINE. But I
can't put my finger on just what it is.
Peace to all.

(( I know, that you have a

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.
((Am I right, TT_0? You do

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
inertest 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 its more interesting to consider what
I won't be doing to try
and stop that war.
((I wasn't trained to

I could have sworn you
mentioned you were in

((What are your personal beliefs
TT_0? You said you believe in God, which
one? Honestly, do you
think the ends justifies the means? Don't you have

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.
((You said your self you
don't care what happens to your worldline. You
don't care about your
actions, and what they will affect?))
I'm not sure I ever said I
didn't care about my own worldline. If you could
find and quote that, I
would appreciate it.
((You are a cheater of
life... What ever happened to preservering against
adversity? You take back
home the solution, without trying to handle it
there. And in that, you
threaten to change billions of lives. And that
strikes you as no big
deal?))
I think I understand what
you're asking. I'm 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. I'm 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?
((So is there any such
thing as wrong for you TT_0 while in the past that
you are forbidden to do,
or is it all just a free for all?))
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 themselves
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?
((Yes, actually The Wheel
of Time is a fantasy role playing game. Don't you
have Final Fantasy XVIII
out in 2036?))
Yes, we have games.
((TT_O shouldn't an
historian-anthropolagist, even an amateur, be a bit more
up to speed on

I apologize. I am learning
all the time and I wish I were smarter too. You
must remember that reading
about a society is one thing and being exposed to
it is another.
((TT_0, care to answer my
questions this time?I made sure to put lots of ???

I was not trying to offer
excuses. Please forgive my ignorance. I was
unaware that question

Well, it looks like if
anybody has any questions to ask TTO...now would be
the time to do so.
I have learned so much
over the past few months. with the added info I have
gained I have went back
and reread books such as hyperspace and string
theories and blackhole
books I had and things are really starting to fall
into place with the
additional info I have gathered. pieces are being fit
together to create a
beautiful picture of the nature of time. it is funny as
I am reading some of the
old info I had and now the new I will find myself
saying "oh...now I
understand..."
I am very busy studying at
this time.
and yes,Daviper, always
searching for the truth in new theories and
beyond.as I have always
said "science fiction of today may become tomorrows
science fact."
I am sorry that you did
not respond to my e-mail for an opportunity to chat
with TTO,Mr. Schasteen and
time 02112.perhaps you were busy. I tried to get
a hold of you both
yesterday.
I have had wonderful chats
with TTO.
last night djayr42(Joe)and
I talked to him for I believe over three hours.
He is a wonderful person
and I am sorry you may never get to know that.

Well, I must say this
thread has piqued my interest. I have a few questions
for TT_0:
First, where does your
interest in the (our) U.S. Constitution stem from?
Why do you think it is so
vital for us to read and understand it?
Second, do you not like
your "new" Constitution?
Or feel that it is not as
effective as the original?
Third, you keep saying
that you will be going back to your worldline soon,
how soon will this be?
Can you give a specific
day? Or week?
I have many questions for
you and would like to be able to know how much
time I have left to ask
them of you.
rgrunt:
Could you please space out
your posts to make it easier to read - it is very
difficult to read a post
that is in one large block of words compared to one
that has each thought, or
idea, seperated by spaces.

TT_0,
I don't think you got my
point... But your leaving, and I'm tired of telling
you. So I just don't care
anymore.
Yes, I was in the Army...
But I was injured, I didn't finish going through
BCT. In addition, I guess
you can say I had a change in perspective about
life, after my accident.
I don't wish to comment
any further about that...
And as for you saying you
didn't care about your worldline, here it is, you
saying it.

(Have you considered the
possible adverse consequences the person might face
that you had post them for
you since you remain covert? or don't you care
since it is not your world
line. what about the people that read the
information and attempt to
build one? what if they get injured in the
process because they are
not knowledgeable enough to handle the forces they
are playing with at this
"time".)
Yes, I have considered it
but it is very easy to remain hidden behind a veil
of disbelief. The people
who understand what they are seeing are not
aggressive. Everyone else
just finds them entertaining. The obvious first
answer is that the only
world line of consequence is my own and I don't care
what happens here. That
however, is not the case. I have shown these
documents in order that
people might consider the possibility. I do not
expect people to believe
them.

To TT_O
Is it physically possible
for you to get back to THIS time line once you
leave?
If all 7 Billion of us
here each had our own time machine do you think that
would we would end up
trashing the rest of the local worldlines?
Recomended movies:
Arthur C. Clarks' 2001
WaterWorld (Kevin Kosner)
Dances With Wolves
Chrimson Tide
Backdraft
Forest Gump
Little Big Man
There are a lot of good
movies of substance. Good movies like good books are
more than a mere passtime.
I've got one heck of a book collection that I
probably won't need come
2036. Any suggestions on where to drop it off? (It
weighs about 3000 pounds.)

To TT_0, You have made a

time travel and what is going on around them. But

To T-T-A,
Let me just say this.
Even before you came here
criticizing this foumn and T-T-O , i was here from
the beginning, asking the
same questions. I have been watching this forumn
and watching the same
questions being repeated over and over to T-T-O.....
He doesn't answer your
questions because there is no reason to. Read back
and you'll see what i
mean. He/She has told us before to read his previous
posts for answers and yes,
there they are.
To R-Grunt, Could you
please, in future ,write your answers in paragraphs?
Much easier to read, I

Well excuse me... I just
saw the post the first day I got back to this
board, and jumped right in
to respond. As I'm sure that's what most people
in this forum do anyway's,
am I right?
I read all his past post
though. And that's why I cut and paste something
that he said. The man said
to quote him, or did you not read that part...?
He still hasn't replied.
You seem to know him
pretty well, are you his friend or something? I tell
you, a man can't get a
decent unbiased review in this board now a days.
Well maybe from DaViper,
he doesn't sound like he's on anyones side.
Good night,

P.S. I'll bet you the next
topic after my post will be on sides. Care to
place any bets who will

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 done in the 1970's or 1980's. 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 they are afraid
of being attacked and of
the possible consequences of helping someone they
don't know. I would
respond by pointing out that it's our duty to help
someone, 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 then is too
great. I 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.
Although TTA is a bit
quirky and eccentric, he does belong to us. He's this
community's quirky and
eccentric guy and 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 postings, he
has some interesting things to say. When I first
read one of his postings,
I first shake my head and then I begin to question
my own understanding of
not only the English language but of the real
meaning of the odd things
he brings up. If it's done on purpose, it's quite
effective. I am often
forced to go back through the dictionary or grammar
handbook just to make sure
there's not some obscure punctuation or grammar
rule I was unaware of.
As an example, when I read
his mission statement, I do think the effect of
not writing a complete
sentence before the period is dramatic but I am
forced to examine the word
"it's" and wonder if it represents the
contraction for "it
is" or if it means the possessive of the understood
subject from the first
part.
Please understand, I do
not point this out to cause harm. People are often
first judged by the way they
write and speak. I can't help but think a great
deal of anger is a result
of frustration to make ourselves understood.
Throughout our lives, a
real understanding of how to communicate would help
anyone express themselves
better. As I find myself double checking how to
use the English language I
only recommend that TTA do the same. I am quite
anxious to his ideas or
set of rules on the use of time travel.

Although, I do not wish to
take sides in this argument. TTA if you re-read
what you quoted, you will
notice something.
---------------
(Have you considered the
possible adverse consequences the person might face
that you had post them for
you since you remain covert? or don't you care
since it is not your world
line. what about the people that read the
information and attempt to
build one? what if they get injured in the
process because they are
not knowledgeable enough to handle the forces they
are playing with at this
"time".)
Yes, I have considered it
but it is very easy to remain hidden behind a veil
of disbelief. The people
who understand what they are seeing are not
aggressive. Everyone else
just finds them entertaining. The obvious first
answer is that the only
world line of consequence is my own and I don't care
what happens here. That
however, is not the case. I have shown these
documents in order that
people might consider the possibility. I do not
expect people to believe
them.
--------------------
TT_0 says that the obvious
first answer to the question is that he must not
care for what happens on
any worldline except for his own. But notice
immediately after that
sentence he says that is not however the case. That
the true answer is that he
just wanted people to consider the possibility
and that is why he posted
the material. He never says that the only time
line he cared to protect
was his own.

TimeTravel_0..
It has been fascinating to
read your insights on the social flaws during
this time period. Since
you are not a part of this society (or at least new
to it) it is more obvious
for you than many of us.
Your observations strike a
deep meaning with me, because I've spent the last
4 years writing a science
fiction audio drama about the greed of humanity
around the year 2000.
What disturbs me is that,
yes, there are many who understand these problems
of greed. Most of us know
it exists, but cannot attribute the source. Some
think greed is the
necessary thread which tightly holds our economy
together. There are the
many that just accept greed as the normal way of
life, even though they
know there is something wrong about it. Action is
never taken to fix the
mindset of what money is really for.
There are always those who
enjoy cheating, weaseling, and playing tricks to
gain false respect. Those
people thrive on knowing how to get ahead. As long
as they win their
steadfast race to personal satisfaction, they will always
influence others. It
doesn't matter how many of us become outward,
collective, and
self-less... the greedy individuals will always rise.
So TimeTravel_0, having
lived through the self destruction of the human
race, what sort of future
do you imagine after 2036? Will humans colonolize
and expand through the
solar system?
Or will we be forever
bound to our inward existance, measuring the past,
fearfull of the future.

That's very nice of you
Trott, answering for TT_0. But I'm sure he's a big
boy now and can answer his
own post, thank you very much.
TT_0,
By being the eccentric
& aggravating guy in this community, do you mean the
guy that brings up things
that are in opposition to the common ideals of
this board? Then sure, if
you wish to define my actions like that, I really
don't care.
As long as I am aware that
what I am doing is looking at things from both
sides, and advocating
freedom. What people say won't make me give in to your
followers.
You can tell which ones
they are by reading their posts. All this praise,
like if you were some God.
And further more, it's a
good thing you don't know what my voice sounds
like. Or you'd criticize
the way I pronounce things too, because I have a
slight accent.
After all, I am fluent in
Spanish and English. Spanish is my native tongue
though. And it's pretty
hard to lose it, look at Ricky Martin, and Antonio
Banderas.

WanderingSoul,
There's not much we know
about you. You made a little comment about your
life, but that's just it.
No real insight as to who is giving this wisdom
(since your so good at
giving it). Don't you think we must first know who is
giving it? And how has it
helped you? You just preach, even church preaches
give examples about their
lives and others how it's helped them. Think about
doing that, might make
your posting seem less creepy (at times) and make
your words more effective.
Gotta Go,
Javier C.

Yeah TT_0, OK.
I'll go ahead and run with
the way you want to tell it.
You are obviously a
thinker on social issues, a contemplator of paradox, and hypothesizer of
possibilities.
Correct me if I'm wrong
here but I see you as a Libertarian who expounds on the need for humanity to
get back to certain basics. Like the issues defined by the Constitution and
your comments earlier on firearms tend to make me believe you are a Gun Rights
activist.
So, no critisism intended
here but...
(and you know I see your
scenario as pure fiction on your part), could you give us your thoughts on how
us "less enlightened" ones here in this worldline of the here/now can
solve the technical problems of time travel so that we may be able to enjoy the
same first hand knowledge you have that gives you these social insights?
I mean, EVERYBODY hates a

Mr. TT_0,
Let us assume you are a
time traveller. I do not see any viable way for you to return to your own time
line then. I say this because that you mentioned the difficulty with time
travel in the sense of divergences. You said that you travelled back in time from
2036 to 1975 with a ~1-2% divergence. You also mentioned that in your time
frame a 0% divergence is sort of a myth, i.e technologically improbable. Now if
I understand your plan, you say you will once again travel back to 1975 before
you arrived and then go forward as to avoid going into the future of our time
line, which by your presence here would be an alternate future from your own.
But what I would ask is, if you plan to go back to 1975 from 2000, you should
incur a certain non-zero percent divergence just as you did going from 2036 to
1975. I would surmize that it is impossible or technologically improbable for
you to go back to the exact world line you departed from then. Even if you are
able to travel back with a 0% divergence, which by your previous words would be
mythological, what would ensure you that the future you travelled into was
exactly the world line you left. Since there are an infinite number of possible
world lines departing from 1975 into the future. I suppose the key point of
this argument is that any trip through time with your technology would result
in a non-zero divergence, and in order for you to arrive in your own world line
you must create a 0% divergent trip. This is amusing in the sense that the
harder you try to get to your own world line the more divergences you incur and
hence the furthur away you get. I believe I see the birth of a new temporal
paradox.

Hey Everyone!! While I've
been following this thread from the beginning and even conveyed a few thoughts
on the topic matter as it evolved, I have been, for the most part, been
following the topic discussion to TTO's answers to everyones questions. I have come
to a couple conclusions. First of all I want to commend TTO for provoking much
thoughtfull and insightfull discussion on, even the probability much less the
possability that what he says is true. And I would like to commend those that
treated this topic discussion with respectful scrutiny and thought provoking
questions for TTO. I understand that for TTO to reveal himself as a time
traveler in this timeline on this board was a matter of great risk on his part
and I commend him for it!! Who are we to say he's not for real!!! Being a Druid
MAGI I've also conveyed thoughts and realities that have fallen upon great
scrutiny and rightly so. It is when we stop asking how and why that we are
truely doomed as a race!! We have to open our minds and get peoples heads out
of the sands of disbelief and ignorance, only then can we truely be ready for
the next level, as a race. Individually, some are already at the doorway of the
next level!! As a race there's too much hate and greed for this to happen on an
evolutionary scale for a while. That is a sad state of affairs!!
As far as I'm concerned,
GODSPEED TTO!!!!

Draco2,
that is amazing. I read a
book entitled "Druids" by an Irish female author, I don't remember
the name. The story was set back in roman times and was based on the early life
of a chief druid by the name Ainvar...meaning 'one who travels far'.
The events in the story
were centered around the conflict between celts and the romans. The story
finishes off with the defeat of the celts by the romans in one fantastic battle.
I was going to ask if you
have ever heard of the story of Ainvar in the order? Is this a true story based
on history or is it just a fictional book?
inquistively,

Hey RGUNT!! Actually I
believe I may have read the same book you did.. I don't have the book anymore
and it's been along time since I read it... The final battle resulted in the
Celtic Cheiftain being put in chains and taken back to rome, where the drug him
through the streets and stuck what was left of him on a pig pole... As far as a
Druid from the Order named Ainvar it sounds familar but the true spellings of
names was fully contingent on what language you are using....

I gotta tell you Javier.C,
you sound as if you want the entire world to know how much you hate time travel
and anyone from there.
Well, guess what. Your a
time traveller too.
Think about it.
Just because someone comes
from a few years in front doesn't mean you have to slam them into oblivion.
What if i was a T.traveller and i came from 3 seconds into the future?
What then? Would you still
"Fight for its preservation?" then?
These days,you dont know
what to believe anymore. If he is from 2036 and there is a war coming , Im
sorry but you'll be eating your words. On the other side, if T-T-O is full of
it and is only here to promote this forum's hits well then i stand corrected.
T-T-O is not my friend,
nor does he wish to be. Weve never seen each other and probably never will.
Anyway, with the information he has given us, i guess the damage has already
been done for all of us wouldn't you agree??
I take in oppinions, equations,
theories and any information regarding any subject and formulate my own
thoughts on the given subject. I dont think he is a God for giving this
information, heck, he could be an employee of the U.S government here to find
out what the population thinks of T.T! We could all be test subjects. Who's to
say we are not?
If time travel is possible
ten million years from now, it will still be possible. Who is to say that
humans are not visiting this exact time? You can't stop time travel, it is
inevitable.

Fast,
Perhaps somewhere deep in
that eccentric soul of yours, you could perhaps muster up a little compassion
to understand that there are still some people in this world who want to help
and protect us.
If someone where to break
into your home in the middle of the night, who would you want to come in to
help you?
If you see someone in
dying need of medical attention, wouldn't you feel obligated to help, and if
you did who would you call?
Problems like these will
always exist in any universe. I agree with you on that?
But is it really so wrong
with wanting to stop criminals from violating our rights?
We have Cops out there
doing their hardest making sure the streets are safe for you and me. We have
EMT's ready to be dispatched to save your life if you broke your neck or fallen
off a tree or something.
Crime is everywhere, and
will always be there. So are we to just accept it and turn our backs on it?
That's so easy to do. Yet
there are some people in this society that would rather not have to live
through a world like this.
And that's where I believe
that the same measures to protect people, should also be implemented to Time
Travel. If you violate someone, you must pay. Simple as that.
Did I make my self clear
Fastwalker 2, or am I to apologize to you too for having morals, like I did to
TT_0?
Truly,

My conversation with Draco
was strictly out of my admiration for ancient european history.
I am a christian and
therefore do not agree with the ways of the accult and do believe that any
religion that is against christ is not from God but from the devil.
I do not mean to insult
anyone with this but it is my belief and I hold them also to be true. One day
the lord will return and those who have believed on the name of Jesus and who
have called upon Jesus to be saved shall be transfigured into an infinite immortal
body. At that time all the things that we were involved in here that did not
pertain to god will be meaningless.
For at that time time
travel and our discussions here will be obsolete to us. God is the one who
created the universe and he is the one that will destroy and recreate it again.
When we stand before the judgement seat of christ for those who have accepted
christ will be judged on there spiritual work. They will be given payment for
the work they did for God. That means that if you do your day to day job to the
best of your ability to please God and not just for personal gain: in addition
to recieving your salary and raises here on earth you will also be payed by god
when youre works are being evaluated at the judgement seat of Christ.
That is why I bring
religion into this because I credit Jesus for all I have. He is given the glory
for any success of mine.
God bless,

MY BOOK!
I didn't think a topic
about time-travel paradoxes I started would provoke so many replies! I wrote a
book about my interest in time which is titled "Hope to time-travel".
For those interested I'm willing to e-mail softcopies for free. Just
email:paulmartincurran@yahoo.com (requesting a copy). I advertised my book in
the Time Travel Institute Discussion Forum along with other places. I'd be
grateful if you could send feedback, but you don't have to.

Prophet,
Perceptive, but not
really.
Dr. Gustav Fechner
(1801-1887).
He was a scientist and
precursor to experimental psychology who had a difficult time settling an
internal conflict between his psychophysical research and his conflicting
viewpoints.
To alleviate this strife,
he published a series of scathing articles under the pen name "Dr.
Mises."
It felt appropriate, for
slightly different reasons. Thanks for asking!

There is really only one
thing I don't understand the "Theory" of. (Relative to the topic of
this board that is.) Or why it is even a Theory at all.
That is of "Parallel
Universes" or "Alternative Timelines". It remains a Paradox for
me.
Someone correct me where
I'm wrong here but as I understand it, these Parallel Universes or Alternative
Timelines are "created" by events in our own, (timelines) or even in
others.
What events? For
instance...
I prevent Lee Harvey
Oswald from assassinating JFK? OK. This one is easy to follow. But...
What "authority"
or controlling force determines just what "events" qualify for the
creation of a new timeline or universe?
God? Is this then just
another Religious theory?
Or perhaps ALL events
create new timelines and universes. Like the collision of two snowflakes during
a snowstorm. How about the collision of the outer molecules of the snowflake
with the molecules of the atmosphere? Each collision as it falls? Each
snowflake? Each storm? Each molecule? WOW!
There must be a lotta
Timelines out there and alternative Universes huh. Infinitely so even.
If infinite, then why am I
possesed with the gift of individual thought, free will and the choice to make
my own descisions since nothing I think matters anyway in view of all the
possibilities that are all true anyway. Given these infinite timelines.
Hmmm.
This seems a bit foolish
to me but I can't DIS-prove it. But then in science, dis-proving something,
should be easy. Except a negative which is a folly in logic.
It would seem to me that
"infinite" universes and timelines is totally contrary to the
principle of Occam's razor. But then Occam's razor is not an axiom, merely a
postulate. Although it has worked really well so far.
Actually, in science,
"Multiverse" theory is something that has NEVER been proven. For lack
of evidence. It crops up from time to time as a way to explain certain SEEMING
paradoxes like the EPR double slit experiment with polarized light. But then,
just because it can be used to explain something doesn't mean it is so.
Tiny invisible rubber
bands could explain gravity if it weren't for the fact that it simply isn't
true.
Multiverse Theory is not
automatically true because it "explains" some things. Lot's of things
explain "some" things. Most of them are NOT true.
So help me here. Where did
multiverse come from as a theory? Where is the observable evidence of it's
existence and the experiments to back it up that can be duplicated with
certainty and repitition?
Like the speed of light
for example. Or Time Dilation which is so easy to demonstrate now it's
considered commonplace. (It occurs on every single filght of the Space
Shuttle.) At least science is TRYING to prove "Frame Dragging" which
IS an experiment under way.
But
"Multiverse"? Who can demonstrate this with integrity?
Thank you.

Dear Everyone,
I was thinking yesterday
and came up with an addition to a conscept I stumbled into last week while
thinking.
I was reading a book on
astronomy that states that the universe is expanding. Now as the unverse
expands the temperature of the universe decreases. The author that wrote the
book stated that scientist now believe that micro seconds after the big bang
there was one super force composed of strong force, weak force, and
electromagnetic force. Gravity was seperate from these forces at that time as
it is today...so they say. As the universe expanded and cooled this super force
broke up into three seperate forces; strong, weak, and electromagnetic. This is
what I propose. I believe that space is confined to a fixed shpere of a fixed
size and more space is added so that the pressure of the space begins to build
up and the density of space begins to increase. One would normally think that
compressing space would result in an increase in the temperature of space as a
result of the compression of energy that is confined to that region of space.
However I believe the opposite is true. To compress space by increasing the
volume of space is to confine the energy within that region of compressed space
to a greater volume of space. This results in a decrease to the density of
energy. If one doubles the volume of space that a quantity of energy occupies,
the energy density of that energy will be equall to the inverted square of the
density of the new density of space. (S=1/e^2) where s=new density of space,
and e=the density of energy occupying that space. Further more, I believe that
energy is also expanding at the same rate as space. One might say, if this is
so then why does the energy density of space decrease as space expands? If the
increase of energy is proportionate to the increase of space, then shouldn't
the space-time temperature remain constant? The answer, quite
counterintuitively, is no. The reason is that even if a quantity of space
doubles and the energy in that space also doubles, the new energy and space
must form around the old energy and space because the new energy and space
cannot occupy the same region. This of course does not explain the differential
in energy density from space density. The reason that energy density deacreases
is because to quanta of energy that are closer to one another gain extra
density. This manifested in a magnetic field for as the photons increase there
distance as they stray from each other the density of the field and strength of
the field decreases. The oldest energy is closer then the new energy. The increase
in density decreases the density of space in the old energies region and
increases the density of space in the new energies region. This creates the
warping of the space-time continuum that is present in a dense grouping of
energy. Got to goe

The mulitiverse theory,
basicly, is that everything that can happen, does happen. It doesn't 'decide'
to split if you change history, or if two snowflakes collide or don't. The
possibilities already exist.
Anyway, who's to say we
have free will or thought? For all we know we could be playing a role, like
mindless zombies. Not a pleasant thought, but just as possible as anything
else.
I guess the big question
is why? If there are infinite universes, what would the point be of their
existence? If time travel is possible, it would prevent paradoxes. Is that the
only reason, like some sort of self preservation mechanism?

rgrunt...
why are you so sure that
the universe is expanding? the only evidence for a big bang is the doppler
effect of the light from the surrounding stars and galaxies. What if this
effect is caused, not by expansion, but by the pattern of light slowing down as
it enters our galaxy.
It makes equal sense that
if manipulation of space is possible, then space itself is a force occupied
only within a galaxy. The goal would be to create a void within space equal to
that outside the galaxy (where there would be no gravity.) This idea is based
on a non-gravity universe, where gravity only exists within galaxies.
Therefore galaxies do not
attract each other, and do not risk being hurled into a big bang. Instead they
are freely floating in a nuetral environment where light can travel much faster
between them.
Light then slows down as
it enters the force of a galaxy and creates a pattern we see as the doppler
effect.
This means that light
speed is related only to the amount of galaxy force it is traveling through. If
you create a void within the galaxy force, then light could travel faster, and
then relative to that of course, would be time travel.

Borgus,
I am not at all convinced
that the universe is expanding. I was in such a hurry to post due to time
constraints that I was not able to post my views accurately. I appologize for
the confusion. I am more convinced that the universed is fixed and not expanding.
I believe God when he says that nothing can be added and nothing taken away.
But at the same time I am not fully convinced that the universe is entirely a
closed system either. I believe that energy can be formed at an area where no
energy is present by drawing energy from beyond the center of a measured
region. I call the area beyond the centermass of every particle and field
subpoint space because it is an area that exists beyond the centermass. This is
my theory and it is not even a theory yet. It is truelly a hypothesis. In a
littly while I may be able to produce evidence to support or deny my
hypothesis. As soon as I have confirmed the viability of my claims or lack
there of, I might post the results. The conscept I was trying to describe above
is more related the how energy and space interact. The theory you proposed also
sounds like a viable alternative to the current model. I believe that there are
limits to every field and that at some distance from a given grouping of mass
there is zero gravity. For example, if you quantize space and allow for a
device pump space into a given container such as cup that has an internal
temperature of 91degrees farhenheit, then the temperature in that cup will
decrease more as the numerical quantity of thermal photons occupy a greater
volume of space. Basically as an electromagnetic field occupies a greater
volume of space the density and strength of that field decreases. Now if one
were to vacuum out the space from the cup that is 91 degrees farhenheit, then
the temperature within that cup will increase significantly as the numerical
quantity of the thermal photons within that space occupy a lesser volume of
space. Basically, as an electromagnetic field(or any other photon mediated
field) contracts to occupy a lesser volume of space, the strength and density
of that field will increase. This goes right along with your own theory about
areas outside the galaxies. For an area with zero densityand infinity energy
density the velocity the vacuum velocity of light will increase without bounds.
If one decreases the energy density within a given region to zero then the
space-time density within that region will increase to infinity and the light
speed velocity in that region will decrease to zero absolute velocity.

You had me going in your

Whether it is correct or not I cannot say. Maybe, maybe not.
But then you lost me again
in your subsequent post(s) by bringing what you say you believe "God
Says" into it.
Not sure just where
"God Says" this. It ain't in the Bible anyway.
Besides, in contemplating
the very existence of God one is left to ask "Who Created God"? Then
if the answer is "God always was", it begs the further question,
"If God COULD always have been, why not the Universe itself without the
need for a God to 'create' it"?
Not that I'm Atheistic,
merely Agnostic. If God exists, so be it. If not, so be it. Only one thing is
for sure...Whether one BELIEVES in a God or not, has no effect whatsoever on
whether there truly is or is NOT one.
Besides, I've never been
one to let others make descisions for me. I can do that quite well by myself
thank you. I won't dismiss God, but I'm really not sure why I need him.
Borgus:
Yes, I've heard views
similar to yours before, and no offense intended, but they don't answer my
question. For instance, if we extrapolate just a tad further, I could ask that
if infinite universes exist, and I have no free will control over my own fate in
any of them, why not just commit suicide. I'll go on in another universe, since
"all things are so". I could just keep commiting suicide until I
finally arrive at a life timeline where I consider EVERYTHING to be SO perfect
that I stick around for a while.
But then, this line of
reasoning is really pretty silly isn't it.
Naw, Multiverse is a nice
cute theory that, like I said, crops up over time to explain certain paradoxes,
but it has never been resolved to be provable by any evidence. Besides, as
such, I see it as a cop out for side stepping the issue of Time Travel.
If Time Travel is to be
solved, we have to begin to think beyond the old easy trains of thought and try
to grasp that which we do not yet even understand the concept of.
We need to re-examine our
old concept of what we refer to as "Time" itself.
We've exhausted the old
theories. They don't work. There are no Time Machines. And PROBABLY no
"parallel" Universes. Other Universes perhaps, but not Parallel Ones
we have "counterparts" existing in. Can't buy it.
New thought is what is
called for.
I may not be capable of
it, but those who are need to focus ahead into new territory. Not hack away at
the old.
Peace.

I am just a vessel and god
hardens whom he wants to harden and softens the hearts of whom he wants to
soften. As for the qoute, it was stating that what ever God has done, said, or
created can not be added to or taken away from.
A similar conspeptual
logic exists in science as well, the law of conservation of energy,mass,and
momentum. Even in the case where energy is borrowed from the vacuum of space
there is no vialation of this in that the source of energy was gained from an
existant source...space. If energy is gained from nothing; then this law is
vialated.

Well, I don't have much
confidence in the parallel timelines (multiuniverse existance) theory of time.
It makes much better sense to consider time a property of motion in the 4th
dimension (axis).
But if time is indeed a
4th dimension then it is always difficult to convert that into a visual model
that our brains can understand.
What if time is a property
of gravity... where you fall through time at a constant rate relative to the
gravity. Problem with this is that time would pass at different rates on different
planets (which hasn't been proven either way).
If you imagine yourself,
and everything else on Earth, falling through time. Then Newton's laws of
motion would apply to time. If an object is falling through time it will
continue falling until a force stops it. The force required to stop it (or
accelerate it) is proportional to the velocity and mass. And there must be an
equal and opposite reaction to motion through time.
Using this (fictional)
model how would you stop someone from falling through time, or accelerate them
away from it (back in time)?
You would need to
understand the properties of the time-force, whether it is related to gravity
fields, whether it is related directly to mass, or space.
Also this would delete the
notion of parallel timelines. If one object were to be pushed into an
acceleration away from the time force, then they would no longer exist in their
previous position in relation to everything else that is falling. Once they are
placed in a location behind the previous, and began to fall again at a constant
rate. Would they, or not, be in the past? Would familiar objects be seen
around? ..existing in a previous time? Becuase you have to visualize it as
another plane of existance. so the other dimensions would be connected to it.
Like i said, its very hard
to visualize the 4 dimensional properties. But perhaps the "falling"
model will help.

DA Viper,
as you said
earlier..."Actually, in science, "Multiverse" theory is
something that has NEVER been proven. For lack of evidence. It crops up from
time to time as a way to explain certain SEEMING paradoxes like the EPR double
slit experiment with polarized light. But then, just because it can be used to
explain something doesn't mean it is so.
Tiny invisible rubber
bands could explain gravity if it weren't for the fact that it simply isn't
true.
Multiverse Theory is not
automatically true because it "explains" some things. Lot's of things
explain "some" things. Most of them are NOT true.
So help me here. Where did
multiverse come from as a theory? Where is the observable evidence of it's
existence and the experiments to back it up that can be duplicated with
certainty and repitition?
Like the speed of light
for example. Or Time Dilation which is so easy to demonstrate now it's
considered commonplace. (It occurs on every single filght of the Space
Shuttle.) At least science is TRYING to prove "Frame Dragging" which
IS an experiment under way.
But
"Multiverse"? Who can demonstrate this with integrity?"

During the last coupla
years, I have been looking at SAA, AutoDynamics in general, and the
formulations of Ricardo Carezani. Sometime in 1999, I began thinking about the
possible degradation of photonic energy by the theoretical picograviton. The
"tired photon" hypotheses, to explain the smooth redshift variation
with respect to distance/time, have a number of (surmountable) problems. But,
the generally accepted solution for this smooth variation, (namely: BigBang),
also has many problems.
If you would, could you
supply me with your short list, in links or references, describing why you may
or may not support this tired photon thinking?
Anisotropy of CMB:
In the image of the above
link, I can see that there is a calico feature to the CMB. The dark patches are
limited by the resolution of the scale. I wonder how far off the scale are the
depths of the dark patches? Is there data available to recalibrate the image to
a different, (lower), central "zero value"? Further, if one were to
gather multiple images of the same patch of sky, would the calico pattern
remain strictly identical? Over what period of time? The careful comparison of
differing images could reveal the changes as being instrumental artifacts or
actual sky change.
I wildly wonder if there
may be a nominal "rest state" for photonic radiation? If, after a
looong journey through "space", the photonic energies are "wound
down" by being bent hither and thither through the gravitational wedges of
the intergalactic medium - - then, is the result that the background has a
rather even "look" to it? Is this "even" appearance some
kind of undulating dispersion of photonic energies around and about the nominal
"rest state" average value? Or can the true "rest state" be
an equilibrium point whereby photonic energies are hardly affected and mostly
unaffected by the "picograviton density fluctuations"?

The boundary of the
"observable" universe may be only limited by the distance it takes
for "most" photonic radiation to wind down to the equilibrium rest
state of the microwave background radiation energy. If we can develop
"graviton" apertures and detection instruments, the
"observable" horizon could be extended way far.

Greetings everyone. I’ve
been a way for a while so I apologize for not getting back to these questions
sooner.
((First, where does your
interest in the (our) U.S. Constitution stem from? Why do you think it is so
vital for us to read and understand it?))
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 at the time decided to hold one last
Constitutional Congress in order to present a psychological cohesion from 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.
((Second, do you not like
your "new" Constitution? Or feel that it is not as effective as the
original?))
From my viewpoint, it’s
very effective. I am a very strong believer in local or state’s rights.
((Third, you keep saying
that you will be going back to your worldline soon, how soon will this be?))
There are certain windows
I must wait for in order to leave. There will be two this year. The first one
opens this spring.
((Is it physically
possible for you to get back to THIS time line once you leave?))
Not with the unit I have.
((If all 7 Billion of us
here each had our own time machine do you think that would we would end up
trashing the rest of the local worldlines?))
Since everything is
already happening and possible on different worldlines, the answer is yes….and
no.
((Correct me if I'm wrong
here but I see you as a Libertarian who expounds on the need for humanity to
get back to certain basics. Like the issues defined by the Constitution and
your comments earlier on firearms tend to make me believe you are a Gun Rights
activist.))
I suppose from your
vantage point 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 is a common point of argument with my mother. I 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.
((could you give us your
thoughts on how us "less enlightened" ones here in this worldline of
the here/now can solve the technical problems of time travel so that we may be
able to enjoy the same first hand knowledge you have that gives you these
social insights?))
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? To tell you the truth, I more worried about the computer
system than I am the distrotion unit.
((You said that you
traveled back in time from 2036 to 1975 with a ~1-2% divergence. You also
mentioned that in your time frame a 0% divergence is sort of a myth, i.e
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 .002377%.
((Someone correct me where
I'm wrong here but as I understand it, these Parallel Universes or Alternative
Timelines are "created" by events in our own, (timelines) or even in others.))
Parallel universes exist
independently of each other and only interact to avoid the collapse of the wave
function for any given particle that you are looking at. I like to imagine it
as a series of parallel lines crossed by a sine wave. Each point on the sine
wave where a line crosses it represents an alternate outcome. The multiple
“yous” on each worldline record a different result for the activity of the
event.
((Actually, in science,
"Multiverse" theory is something that has NEVER been proven. For lack
of evidence. It crops up from time to time as a way to explain certain SEEMING
paradoxes like the EPR double slit experiment with polarized light. But then,
just because it can be used to explain something doesn't mean it is so.))
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.
((So help me here. Where
did multiverse come from as a theory? Where is the observable evidence of it's
existence and the experiments to back it up that can be duplicated with
certainty and repitition?))
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 our
own universe 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 worldlines 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 worldlines is not
only possible but certain. Could it be that fantasy or “what if” scenarios are
actually future memory from an alternate “us” on a future worldline?
According to physics,
there is no reason why this cannot be true although I probably fall a little closer
to DiViper’s feelings about this as he does on multiple universes.

By all means please
understand that I likewise respect YOUR views. Whether i agree with all of them
or not. I was just rambling on about my musings on religion and would not
intend to offend anyone.
I like your
"conservation" law analogy.
Peace.
Borgus:
Yup. I'd say we're pretty
close here. The "Frame Dragging" experiment being readied by NASA
goes directly to this "gravity relativity to time" issues.
Particularly as it pertains to a spinning body, in this case the Earth itself.
From what I understand so
far on this, the gravitational effect on time would have the opposite (or
possibly counteracting) effect of Time Dilation. For instance, the Space
Shuttle's clocks run slower, but the Shuttle's position of being less
influenced by gravity than an Earth bound object SHOULD make the shuttle's
clocks run FASTER! Somehow, the Time Dilation effect is "winning"
it's battle with gravity's (or the diminished amount of it) counteractive
effect.
I don't fully understand
it yet, but then I'm not sure anyone FULLY understands it. Otherwise it could
be explaind precisely and predictably. So far, it can't.
I'm eager to see what
develops.
Time02112:
Yes I'm familiar with the
sites and the work in that area and certainly do not claim to be an expert in
any of this. But...
I'm not sure what your
references have to do with "multiverse" theory. Could we be comparing
apples and oranges here?
Thanx for the informative
tips toward them tho.

Maybe we ought to get a

It looks like the message

The last post I made never
