"Alright, i have come to that conclution that if i'm ever
going to find those aliens...that did mess up my life, i'm
going to need do something like them, that means time
travel. I did test it few minites ago. But it did fail due
to an failure in the time bubble that (i create that one)
protects me for being wiped out from all existans when i
jump trugh time. My time "signatre" is 0.006 partical flux
(maybe wrong word)."


"what would stop someone from trying to find me if i
revealed who i am? ive been reading these post's and my
story is nowhere as eccentric as any of these. im a simple
man who was accidently thrown into this time. . and i really
have no clue how i got here."

maybe one day humans will be able too...

all the huge-eyed humanoid aliens that have supposedly

it makes sense because it is unlikley that an alien species
could seak out and find us here on earth unless they knew
already when and where to look.

Maybe I'm missing something here, or just don't understand
it, but he claims that due to the nature of his time machine
some deviation occurs which causes the "world-line" he
travels to to differ slightly from his own - he states 1 or
2 percent for each 60 years. I don't know anything about
it, but it seems to me that if even one chance event (no
matter how small it is - one atomic particle bouncing a
different direction, even...) is different between two
different world-lines, then it must mean that every person
on each of the world-lines is a completely separate entity
than their counterpart on the other world-line. Still, he
seems to be completely confident that he will be able to
return to the world-line he left from (perhaps he doesn't
care about any differences that may occur? - but that's
strange with him being as religious as he says he is). It's
sort of hard to believe that people are even more religious
than they are now (as he claims) with the known fact that
there are differing world lines where key events such as
Jesus' birth may not have occurred.

and have been interested in it for a while, supposedly if we
can time travel it would only be into the future, not the
past. Because of the way space works.

yeah but earth is in space, therefore we go by its rules,
not as if there is earth rules and space rules, just the
laws ...... or how they are now, for instance like going
through a supposed worm hole, supposedly is like taking a
shortcut in space, like a tunnel in the real world, you save
time, just like going through a worm hole in a long enough
distance you are actually going in time.

Worse is, the Earth's position in the Universe is COMPLETELY
different at any given time. The Earth spins on itself,
which spins around the sun, which spins in the galaxy, which
spins How can a simple machine calculate such impossible
task. Unless that machine is the center of all known
universe

I have my opinion in this, that is, time travel can only
happen forward in time, therefore it is why nobody has yet
to "come to us".

One of the silly statements of Titor is that he came back
from 2036 to 1975, because that's the year when UNIX systems
born, and they wanted to ask for solution for a problem
which is rising in 2038, namely the UNIX epoch timestamp
problem. UNIX machines are storing current time as a number,
an integer for each seconds which passed since 1970-01-01.
In 2038 they will be out of numbers since they are using 32
bit registers to store this number. But this is silly to
time travel for just this, the solution is already there.
Upgrade to 64 bit CPU's... And he even claims he comes to
ask one of the big UNIX gurus, Richie Kernigan about the
issue. Oh man it's ruining the whole Titor illusion.

likely:

a psychologist and / or a person who studies politics or
society did an experiment. they wanted to know how many
people would believe, how much of their predictions (which
the guy who studied society most likely did) would come
true, and what peoples reactions in general would be.

Just like TATU was a psychology-experiment.

Since I'd like to keep an open mind, I'm not going to
completely believe this guy, nor am I going to simply write
him off as a liar. However, as a point of interest, I read
an article a while ago about a problem that is only going to
become more common with software. Certain programs are
becoming so large, with pieces so old that as the original
programmers either leave the company or die, those pieces of
code are no longer understood. And it makes sense.. in the
early days of computer science there surely wasn't any
well-defined coding style and I doubt commenting one's code
was as stressed as it is now.

Windows is just one example of a program whose original code
base is about a decade old now. Rewriting it from scratch
would be costly and not a very effective business strategy.
On the other hand, continuing to add to an old code base is
going to present numerous problems as the language loses
popularity and the purpose of old functions become more and
more obscure.

A good friend of mine was working at Electronic Arts as a
games tester and he told me that games like FIFA have been
continually developing the same code base through each
iteration. There are now parts of code that were written
when the game was written for Genesis (for example) that are
still in the code today on modern platforms. Some of these
pieces aren't understood by the current programmers. All
they know is that if the code is removed, the game doesn't
work, so they leave it in.

Like I said, I don't have an opinion either way on this but,
if time travel is possible for these people, it would be a
hell of a lot easier to travel back in time to get a piece
of legacy technology whose inner workings will be long since
forgotten in the future
