Would this machine, in theory, take one back or forward in time?

John Titor was a fake. Sorry to say. He was just an intelligent guy who quoted the novel Alas, Babylon almost entirely. He read a lot about quantum
physics, and had the ultimate excuse why he couldn't reveal information about the future....

I too believe Titor's claims are a hoax. He said at one point he would release a film of him leaving for the future, and that was a couple years ago.
Besides.. theoreticly you can only travel forward in time, and not backwards.
[EDIT: Proof of time travel? Can you say "I wish I was a slider" ?

Has anyone been able to identify what that machine was he purported was a time machine?
It looks like it is authentically something or is it the product of an active mind?
Do people believe that Titor was an agent of CIA or some other intelligence just trolling for beliefs and opinions? That is the part I wonder about.

Its kind of interesting. As I have never heard of him untill looking him up today. When I think about it long enough it almost makes me laugh. He
claims to be a soldier from the year 2036. He was sent back to the year 1975 to obtain an old IBM pc because UNIX died, and this old pc had the
ability to read some future programming language.
If your the slightest bit interest I recommend this site

This is an IRC log(poorly formatted HTML I might add) of a discussion with him

ATS has a John Titor research team. VERY informative and jam-packed info. Includes every statement that John Titor ever typed (such as detailed info
about time travel, about the machine, and about the future). The research project also demostrates the possibility of a hoax, considering that John
Titor's reported story mimics that of "Alas, Babylon" (Pat Frank, 1959).

Yes, it was reprinted in 1993:
Here's a site with some detailed info on the book, and I will quote the summary:
At the height of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, Mark Bragg, an officer in the Air Force, warns his brother Randy
that nuclear war is imminent. Mark, who lives in Omaha, sends his wife, Helen, and his children, Ben Franklin and Peyton, to live with
Randy in the isolated Florida town of Fort Repose. While he waits for them to arrive, Randy warns his friends, including his neighbors, the Henrys,
and his girlfriend, Lib McGovern. He begins to stockpile food, and picks up Helen and her children at the airport, as the radio reports that tensions
are escalating between the two superpowers. The next morning, war breaks out, and nuclear weapons destroy all of Florida's major cities.
Washington is also destroyed, and a low-level Cabinet official becomes President. Having lost all power and communication with the rest of the
country, Fort Repose is completely isolated.

But....wasn't one of Einstein's theorys that if you travel fast enough forwards (much faster than the speed of light), you'll end up going
'backwards' and meeting yourself?
If so, theoretically, that would mean that backwards time-travel IS possible, albeit only via forward time-travel.

Civil war in the United States will begin in 2004 or 2005, as the result of increasingly oppressive police state tactics like warrantless searches and
other violations of American civil liberties. It will become common for people to have their doors kicked in and homes violently invaded by police
looking for evildoers. The Gestapo-style oppression of innocents by an increasingly oppressive and murderous government will be worst in the cities,
so many people will seek refuge in the countryside, but police will soon enough seek them out there too. Civil war will emerge as a more or less
continuous series of military sieges and confrontations resembling the Ruby Ridge and Waco police massacres of 1992 and 1993, and it will begin by
2004 or perhaps 2005 (it might not be obvious in the beginning what's actually happening). As time goes on the civil war will become more and more a
continuous conflict between paranoid government forces headquartered in the cities, against perceived or imagined threats in the rural civilian
population. The American government will wage war against its own citizens, winning most of the battles, but the battling will drag on for years. In
the nuclear war of 2015 our cities will be primary targets, so the civil war will end then in favor of the rurals when the government and its domestic
armies are destroyed. In this way the nuclear war will be regarded by the survivors as a good thing.
we are knocking on 2004s door now and we have to wait only 2 months to find out if he is a hoax, if there is a civil war, then we know he is speaking
the truth

you forget.....he did mention that there would be an average of 2 years' gap max.
therefore...what's in 2004, could be in 2006
due to our "2%" different timeline.
the perfect excuse no?

E=MC2 makes it impossible to move back in time, and E=MC2 is always correct (singularitys with 0 dimensions don't exist).

Why do you have to say every time again and again that persons like me don't know the truth, that persons like me don't help humanity? Just because
of our different opinions?
You are trying to hurt people without it being neccesary.
