If you really want to be believed, just show up to Stephen Hawking's time traveler party he held in 2009[0].

Hahaha this is great! What I love about the John Titor story is how you kind of want to believe in it against your better judgement. The desire to be in on something larger than life, I suppose.

There is no such thing as time, or time travel. There are only positions of particles. To go back in time by 1 minute, all particles in the universe have to be moved/changed back to their previous position. This is not time travel, but universe manipulation except for one subject. If there were parallel universes with every possible outcome and you traveled to one, this would also not be time travel, but a moving to a place that looks like another place where particles were at a certain position. Time is just a way to label snapshots of particle positions in the universe.

Should add (2003) to the title

I thought John Titor was an innovative bit of science fiction writing. Did we ever work out who was behind him?

Interesting fiction. I'm not physicist, but anything pumping out enough gravity to bend a laser beam 45* over a couple feet (see pic in link) should also collapse that car into a sphere. I also laugh at seeing that while the laser seems bent, all the other light passing through the same area seems unperturbed.

William Gibson's book "The Peripheral" is a fantastic take on this (and many other things).

Does anybody know if the forum archives with John Titor's posts are still floating around somewhere? I remember reading some of his stuff a few years after he disappeared and it made for quite an entertaining read. This guy had his story figures out to the very bone. Everything down to the sci-fi tech. He had every nook and cranny covered.

I stopped reading when he said that the clocks would tip over at 2^32 seconds after 1970 (136 years), but it is really 2^31 since it uses a signed 32-bit int (68 years).

the earth spins around the sun. the sun spins around the milky way. so if one where to time travel wouldn't they just pop into a space where we are now but where the earth hasn't reached yet?

This would be a really good title for a book on HPC best practices...
