Who was John Titor

Maybe that is what he experienced in his timeline but not in ours...

Edit: Let me rephrase that, his history may have been different than ours...

Yeah obvious when you point it out I guess. My analytic brain usually gets blocked by my emotional one. Lol

That is a convenient way to explain why he got the Wright Brothers wrong....a lame excuse but one just the same.

But unless physics is different in his time melting ice will raise the sea level. Both are still red flags to me.

He did explain how paradox was avoided.
This agrees with what Stephen Hawking has said about possible time travel.

We can agree on that and yes there was several red flags in his story.

I saw somewhere that Hawking said "time travel" into the past is not possible.....just can't recall where.

Its on the tip of my tongue.....but I'll probably remember at 4am....lol

Hawking explained that time travel into the past could only be possible if one were to travel into the past of a parallel universe. Such as same Earth but different Earth.
Reasoning is that since it is not our past, any changes would not effect us but only our counterparts.
That would prevent paradox.
I read this in one of his science writings somewhere years ago.

I read somewhere the theory that once an individual travels back in time, he or she begins a new universe with that future on a different path, another parallel universe is created every time a person goes back in time...

I haven't heard about the Titor case for a long time. There were a handful of us who discussed it years ago on an old forum...can't even recall the name of the forum anymore.....I always thought it was an elaborate hoax that became more elaborate over time.....but it was well executed.

It's typical for stories to become more elaborate over time, like with any good legend, most likely had a real event for its source but became exaggerated over the passing of time...

Real event...? Care to elaborate on that..?

I meant there are legends and stories from the past that have been twisted and stretched into something more but originally perhaps based upon a real event that occurred to start the legend or story...

Fair enough...so what real event gave rise to the Titor tale in your opinion..?

Good question which I have no answer for, when I first read about this fellow years ago I pondered what could have inspired this story, I drew a blank...

It's a good tale in my opinion, whether it's true or not we probably will never know, there are a few others of a similar theme that are equally good stories, some posted on the forum, but lacking any evidence except the words of the people involved...
