My reasoning is if the consequences of one decision are large enough, a totally different world-line will branch off, heading off in a total different direction.

As Titor used as an example, if just one person had said while watching that strange new RADAR device in Pearl Harbour, uh, maybe we should call this one in guys? Think about it. Would the US, having successfully repelled a Japanese attack have been enraged enough to go to war? This massive series of events, all leading from that first domino falling....one word...one thought. A butterfly's wings flapping?

So our Pearl harbour, as promised by the PNAC, could have originally been Y2K. Think of the added chaos that would have added to a 'stolen' election. Anyone seeing a Civil War brewing yet? Instead we got 9/11. Something never referred to in Titor's discussions. You think he would have at least hinted at something, he gave enough else away.

ThatsJustWeird
1. Titor's misson would not have been to go and fix Y2K, because a) this would have made things worse and b) it's impossible anyway. You're telling me JT was sent to dozens upon dozens of countries around the world and was given millions upon millions of dollars to go around and fix Y2K in just a couple of months?

Where do you come up with this stuff lol. Who said he went too "dozens upon dozens of countries around the world to fix Y2K" ? "given millions upon millions of dollars" really where does this come from? Is this what you assume?

ThatsJustWeird
2. Why no mention of the civil war? Y2K was supposed to be the event that eventually sets up a communal government here in the US. But after Y2K doesn't happen, he switches it to a civil war the eventually sets up the communal government.
Russia's collapsed nuclear reactors caused Russia to be destroyed. So if Russia is destroyed, how can they attack the US? And why would they?

Like UnExpecte say's "There is no proof those '1998' faxes came from the John Titor"
If the person who wrote the faxes is Titor, Then why does he say Y2K is a disaster ?

Previously in this thread, I tell you there is more than just one Time Traveler...
"You don't think Titor is the only time traveler do you?"

The faxes that describes this machine is much like Titor's, therefore maybe from one of Titor's worldlines. I would suspect this is a completly different time traveler and not Titor.

A strange thing to note: those faxes came about after Titor had left. ( I think... )

When you interfere with time, bizarre things can happen,

The faxes are connected with Art Bell, I do find it weird that the man in the picture with the "cigar and laser" looks like the back of Art Bell's head. lol

Why I say this is because I spent many hours watching Art Bell's web cam back in the day.

hoax or not, it does not rule out time travel and worldlines.





ahh... finally it rains.

LOL! Yes isn't that amazing?

Really, I think the ears give it away. Art bell has very distinctive ears lol.

Maybe someone can post a comparison picture to compare Art Bell's ear with that picture.

As you can see, there is a striking resemblance between the cigar in the Art Bell picture and the cigar of the instructor with the bent laserlight!

Have you noticed Art Bell and the Instructor both are smoking right handed?.. And the ears.. wow.. yes, undoubted proof here!

double post..

Ummm... ok i have a couple of things that I would like to say.

1. Who here has actually read the Titor Archives?

The reason I ask is because Titor never mentions Y2K, except to say that the reason he was sent back in time was to collect information and a computer system that would prevent the computer crash of 2038. Which he compared to the y2k. His quote was more cryptic than that, saying
(p-) "what event was supposed to happen in the past 18 months, that never did?".

Titor never claims to have solved the y2k bug in year 2000, instead he said that he came here to fix the y2k+38' bug, with the Unix system.

If you haven't read the Titor archives than you would easily fall victom to the missinterpretations by MANY people on this forum.

READ IT FOR YOURSELF, then come up with you own conclusions.

---------------

2. The ART Bell faxes that were mysteriously found AFTER the Titor thing became well known and he was gone... deny ignorance much?

Same thing goes for the Lawyers, and the letters to/from Titors mom... seriously, these need to be taken with at least a grain of salt.

There are a lot of people who would try to profit from this, profit comes in more forms than just cash, publicity, familiarity & fame just to name a few.

Kinda like those people that say they were abduted by UFO's... seriously

--------

3. Has anyone here read ALAS Babylon and compared the story to Titor's Archives? Besides Omaha, Nebraska being the new capital what comparisons, and what differences are there? You don't know, because you DON'T deny ignorance.

--------

4. What is Ignorance? well, if you haven't looked it up and taken someones definition of what ignorance is...then guess what?

-------

5. It won't be much longer until we see how the rest of this game will unfold. IMO, its far too early to dismiss TITOR just because there is no bloody war taking place. Lets see how the (S)elections go, and if the Republican party will be willing to allow the Dems to take over in 2008.
And what they might do, in order to regain power in 2012. IMO, even if TITOR is a complete Hoax... Society and Politics are moving in the wrong direction and I can see a lot of Pain & Suffering in the future.

I have.

I started this thread based on quotes from the ATS archives.

I think you may need to go and take another look at those archives again skippy, he mentions Y2K on a number of occasions, hence this discussion thread.

Titor never claims to have solved the y2k bug in year 2000

I have never once inferred that he had. I just brought up the subject of his surprise at Y2K not happening, and what that could mean as regards world-lines and causality.

Anyone claiming Titor fixed Y2K is just pulling that out of their arse as far as I am concerned.

If you haven't read the Titor archives than you would easily fall victom to the missinterpretations by MANY people on this forum.

Maybe you should follow your own sage advice?

how does the light bend, but not the car door or passenger ? how are they immune to the g-forces ?

The laser doesn't bend until it is a meter or so outside the car. Titor said this was the limit of the sphere of influence projected by the time machine.

That is why.

ok, then why isn't the visible light surrounding the laser uneffected ? wouldn't it bend as well, and make for a picture that at least is not in focus ?

Then there's the more obvious question:

Why is the laser light even visible outside of the car, especially when it starts to bend? If that were the limit to the sphere, wouldn't you expect the smoke to immediately dissipate?

Why's the image such poor quality, too? Given time, a will to do it, and a bad camera, I could create an image just like that one using thick glass of increasing density with impurities. Then, the cigar smoke would reveal the laser in the car (btw, in all my experience using lasers, I've not seen such uniform visibility caused by a smoking device such as a cigar or cigarette.) and the impurities would reveal it in the glass while the increasing density would bend the light in a similar manner due to refraction.

It's dark outside the car, how could you possibly see that?? Never mind the poor picture quality!!

Since we don't know how the human eye would react to seeing time distortions I think it is hard for anyone to use this photo as proof either way, to be quite honest with you.

Who is to say the machine is at full power? It could be just defracting like through thick glass as you said.

I only see smoke inside the car. The windows appear to be up as well.

Why's the image such poor quality, too?

Maybe they haven't got access to good cameras. The EMP pulse probably made expensive paperweights of most of them and they haven't quite got the manufacturing ability back to make really good digital cameras.

Given time, a will to do it, and a bad camera, I could create an image just like that one using thick glass of increasing density with impurities. Then, the cigar smoke would reveal the laser in the car (btw, in all my experience using lasers, I've not seen such uniform visibility caused by a smoking device such as a cigar or cigarette.) and the impurities would reveal it in the glass while the increasing density would bend the light in a similar manner due to refraction.

Off you got then. I'll be waiting to see that picture I think.

Yeah... To requote one important element of what I said, "and a will to do so."

What would it prove? You've already explained that there is no smoke outside the car, yet still the laser light is visible. Laser light is not visible unless it is reflecting off of an object. Here, we see the clearest beam of laser light I've seen taken without a special lens. If it was taken with a special lens able to detect laser light, it is the most awful image of laser light I have every seen, as there are still small breaks in the beam.

The photo is faked.

While mostly green laser pointer beams can be easily seen, there are high power red laser pointers, I think with special diodes, around the theoretical limit (632nm) which are visible as a beam without anything to reflect off. If they were used in the dark it would be quite easy to see them, but using a camera and taking a picture of the beam, it may be possible that the flash is making the beam appear to be splotchy to the camera. Especially at such close range and with a car full of smoke to boot.

Maybe the assumption that the guy was smoking to show the beam is the problem. As Freud would say, maybe a cigar is just a cigar and he is smoking it because he likes cigars? There are laser pointers as I said, which can be seen without smoke, or anything to reflect off.
