| _________________________________ [May 9,2004 8:56pm - succubus ""] ok..still reading..heh http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...3-8413406?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 to the amazon page.. the reviews are awesome.. ~~~ Brilliant, April 8, 2004 Reviewer: Tom from UK There have been a mixed viewpoints about this 'John Titor'. To begin with, that is not his real name, he admited that on one of his online posts. Secondly, he has by now, been proven to be a (...), and his story not true. This asside, it was a brilliant book which i thouroly enjoyed. I am one of the people who frequently engaged in online posts with john and you will probably find some of what i wrote in that book. I now know the truth but at the time, i genuinely was starting to believe he was truely from the future. Most hoaxes like that are riddled with flaws and are obviously fake, but this one was VERY well thought about and contained only 1 or two inconsistancies that you could only discover if you read every post he made numerous times and spent a good few hours analysing it all. John made some fascinating physics theroies and used advanced equations and theory correctly. People challenged him to use certain forumulas or to explain a complicated thing to trip him up, but it didnt work, he did it all flawlessly. Some people say that he was obviouly not from the future and that they never believed him. That is only because they are not open minded enough to accept the possibility of a time traveller, not because they found key errors in his story or physics knowledge. I could post you a link now that would give you 'probably' the entire book on a web page, (i wont becuase amazon would be annoyed), but what is the point, buy the book, the web page will be deleted eventually, but the book will be around for ever (hypothetically). 'John', I dont know if you are reading this, i know you are still alive so i hope this gets to your eyes somehow, i take my hat off to you sir, you had us all fooled.

Yes I am TimeTravel_0. I was hoping to put this mystery to rest and stop all this madness you people have gone through to try to prove or disprove my existence. My real name is Samson Rodriguez. It all started as an elaborate hoax that me and my friends thought up. I am only in college and would like to apoligize to all of you who have defended me as a real person. My "time machine" was nothing more then a few junk items we found in a trash dump where we found all our supplies for the hoax. Again I apoligize for all the work you have put into this and thank you again. Signing off one last time, John Titor" Even if this isn't really by "John Titor",I and others have warned you that it's just a hoax. Don't believe everything you read/hear.

He claims he's from the year 2036. Hah! The film Back To The Future had a better time traveling storyline than this guy. Pfft. Go watch Doc and Marty and avoid this stupid hoax.

I enjoyed it, and waiting. " Imagine time as a stack of papers all in perfect order, and flat. To put in terms us humans can fathom, each piece of paper is a segment in time, say, one second. Now we (in this world, you and me) are on one of these papers. Every second paper we are on moves up the hieght of one paper, because a new paper is added underneath the pile. What ever happens on our paper has no adverse effects on any other papers. This is because our paper is seperate from the rest. On the other papers is an exact copy of ourselves, one second ago, (or multiple seconds, depending on how far away we are). If you were to time travel back in time until you went to a paper that your great grampa was on, then killed him, you would not be born. Would would only not be born on that particular paper. So if you return to your paper, the world is normal. John Titor claimed that there was subtle differences in his world, compared to ours, because he had effects on our "paper". If he returns to his own time, or "paper" his paper will be unscathed.

Now Time Travel Institute itself leads to Celebration, Florida. Celebration Florida is "all Disney" and both TimeTravelInstitute and Magical Mouse lead back to Disney Corp. This evidence has caused Timetravelinstitute.com Webmaster Raul Burrier to state that he knows who John Titor really is but refuses to give his identity. Now many people believe that timetravelinstitute.com was set up purely for the hoax and the webmaster of the site was involved somehow. The John Titor foundation attorney Larry Haber and his son Brandon Haber are both linked to Celebration, Florida, The Book, the Radio Promo, Coffee Mugs, T-shrts, etc. All these different men being linked to Celebration, FL really is a strange coincidence. Having a time traveller story that does not ask for money would add credibility - even better for a forum. Was this review helpful to you? |
