ATS: MIT Students Host Time Traveler Convention

Students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will be hosting the first-ever convention held for time travelers from the future. The convention's creator, Amal Dorai, says "The odds of a time traveler showing up are between one in a million and one in a trillion." Since time travelers can move backwards and forwards through time, the MIT convention may be the only one of its kind that will ever need to be held.

Sounds more like a college joke than anything serious, but it would be cool if someone showed up...maybe John Titor?

The event location is bound to be underwater by "now."


That's why "UFO's" show up in midwestern fields people.

I have just travelled to May 9, and can confirm that a great time was had by all.

Sanc'.

Time travel What a joke it is impossible to travel forward in time sine it does not yet exist

Now with that said, sanctum kindly explain how you got to May 9,2005 and back.

Can we see a picture of your time machine?????

I did not think so. Next.

Shots, sorry for the delay. I was just sleeping off the post party hang-over.

j/k

Wouldn't the party have been more fun if you didn't get there two days late? Or did you go to drain the glasses and eat stale chips?

'probe, i can assure you i wasn't late for the party. I was late getting back due to a traffic jam in the
space/time continuum.

Remember all, don't drink and "tardis".

How cool would that be if someone showed up!!

At any rate, that's reason enough for me to have a beer (or two) this weekend

I would travel back and attend next week but I ran out of instant coffee to use in the microwave / time machine. Thats what Steven Wright claims would happen anyway

This is a repeat post as there is an older thread on this topic on ATS but still it should be fun. I'll try and make it to the event and then report back on the fun.

Lol. Well ladies and gentlement starting from May 9th the space time continium will probably be ruined. J/K. I wonder how many people will actually attend.

Time Traveler Convention Planned for Saturday, May 7

As a current MIT student, I am actually amazed that I found out about this from mainstream media sources before hearing about it from students. It's part of the MIT culture, we're a little wacky, but it's all in good fun. No one is really expecting anything to happen, but if it does, this is the best place for it.

Thanks For The Warning

If they want time travelers to attend, they should give more warning.

I mean, how do they expect time travelers to make it on time if they don't give them a little advance notice?

Time travelers have plenty of notice, I mean if time travel isn't invented for another 1000 years, then they have at least 1000 years notice.
