The 2038 bug has been discussed for sometime. Maybe Johnny boy just picked up on it and used it.

Google unix 2038 tons of info on it dating back to the 1990's

New member here, giving my 2 cents worth..

I think it actually doesn't really matter if John Titor was what he claimed to be or not. Instead of being so obsessed with the authencity of his persona, perhaps we should take a step back and consider what he has said about us squandering what we have now, and how a war would actually be good for US. I'm not a US citizen - and living in a small but prosperous country, the foreign policies adopted by the US have a profound impact. It's a pity that the people in US seem to take for granted that their country is the most powerful in the world; the president they elect into office has the power to mould international affairs. For that reason, perhaps it would be more prudent for people in the US to think twice and hard before making their decision in the elections. From an outsider's point-of-view, the aggressive, militaristic US foreign policy do not bode well. If Bush were to be re-elected into office, who knows what international crisis would arise next.

Why do some people display such violent reactions to Titor and his predictions? Titor - whether he was genuine or a fraud- and his message centre very much around the civil war in the US, not around trying to build his case as a 'real' time traveller. And whether he was just some bored punk trying to pull off another internet scam, what he has said are indeed food for thought; if we do not cherish what we have now, what happens when it disappears? Humans seem to have failed to learn lessons from the First and Second World Wars. In an international system dominated by trealist politicians, military aggression serves to only fan the desire of other countries to adopt militaristic policies. And if this goes on, I shuuder to think of the eventual outcome.

Another point which interests me is the intolerance of Americans towards anything that deviates from the majority; since Titor mentioned that the conflict will eradicate racism as we know it today, perhaps a war would not be the worst thing to happen. I'm aware that many Americans disapprove of the Bush administration's decision to invade Iraq - and yet, I'm sorry to say - the US has yet to get a taste of what it feels like to have a full-blown war in their midst, and how important it would be to stop Bush into turning into another expansionist leader like Hitler.

Artificial black hole created in lab



physicsworld.com...
Everyone knows the score with black holes: even if light strays too close, the immense gravity will drag it inside, never to be seen again. They are thought to be created when large stars finally spend all their fuel and collapse. It might come as a surprise, therefore, to find that physicists in the UK have now managed to create an “artificial” black hole in the lab.

Originally, theorists studying black holes focused almost exclusively on applying Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which describes how the gravity of massive objects arises from the curvature of space–time. Then, in 1974, the Cambridge University physicist Stephen Hawking, building on the work of Jacob Bekenstein, showed that quantum mechanics should also be thrown into the mix.

Hawking suggested that the point of no return surrounding a black hole beyond which light cannot escape — the so-called event horizon — should itself emit particles such as neutrinos or photons. In quantum mechanics, Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle allows such particles to spring out of the empty vacuum in pairs all the time, although they usually annihilate shortly after. But if two particles were to crop up on either side of a black hole’s event horizon, the one on the inside would be trapped while the one on the outside could break free. To an observer, the black hole would look like a thermal body, and these particles would be the black hole’s “Hawking radiation”.
