"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."

technically it is not... it's currently possible to send particles back in time slightly... so, if that's possible maybe one day humans will be able too...

all the huge-eyed humanoid aliens that have supposedly visited earth are actually humans from the distant future. 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.

I was listening and reading into time travel the other day, 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
