Comments Greetings. I am a time traveler from the
year 2036. I am on my way home after
A Way Out
getting an IBM 5100 computer system
Donations from the year 1975.
My "time" machine is a stationary mass, temporal
displacement unit manufactured by General
Electric. The unit is powered by two, top-spin,
dual-positive singularities that produce a standard,
off-set Tipler sinusoid.

I will be happy to post pictures of the unit.

John provided several graphic images to corroborate his

statements, which are reproduced below. Most are from
http://www.anomalies.net/time_traveler/john.html.

While none of the individual images is so compelling as to

establish Titor's veracity beyond a doubt, together they do
make a compelling argument that the possibility should be
considered. Otherwise he went to an awful lot of trouble to
pull off a hoax (which remains a possibility) but for what
purpose? There was never any request for money or even
belief, and the guy is gone now. Some of these images
would be easier to fake than others; the photographs would

http://johntitor.strategicbrains.com/TimeMachine.cfm Page 2 of 21
The Story of John Titor 11/24/10 9:19 AM

have required building a model. The technical drawings

took somebody a long time to make. Above all there's the
time travel nuts and bolts that Titor presents in the context
of a theory that actually makes sense. That's the most
amazing part about the story to me, good theory having
testable linchpins that nobody ever conceived before (Tipler
came close but his design was so impractical as to be
impossible). Because many physicists fully expect
microsingularities to be created at CERN soon, you'd think
the idea of using the things to create a time machine would
have been floated before. It's possible the idea may have
been passed around via beers and napkins for a long time
but never published, like the Strategic Defense Initiative
(Star Wars) was before Reagan announced it like it was his
own idea. If the idea had already occurred to some people
but was supposed to be secret (i.e. Manhattan Project),
maybe the real reason for Titor's story was to bring it into
the sunshine. Whatever the case may be (we may never
know) there's no denying Titor was the first to publicly put
forth this almost fully-formed theory, and that puts him at
least as high or higher than Tipler on the genius scale if
he's a fraud, or else it means he's a smart, well-trained
soldier if he's genuine.

Although the documents posted were printed from
a computer printer, is it really that hard to believe
that manual typing is just a bit more common in
thirty years? After the war, many things like
manual printing machines, bicycles, sailboats and
hand tools were valued a great deal. I have noticed
more people in California are installing wood
burning stoves.

I realize my claims are a bit ridiculous but

my intent is not really to be believed.
However, if I had an opportunity to talk to a
time traveler, I might ask questions like:
How exactly does the singularity sensor
measure the expansion of the inner event
horizon or why does the reality of multiple
worlds support the religious dogma that there
are no good or bad people just good and bad
desicions or what were the political
motivations that changed the U.S.
Constitution?

Fig. 6: Scan from the technical manual. Shows layout of

major external components and defines the Main and
Steering singularities. Notice they are located fore and aft
of the time distortion field, which direction is delineated by
the prominent black and yellow tape (here black and white).

By using two microsingularites in close proximity
to each other, it is possible to create, manipulate
and alter the Kerr fields to create a Tipler gravity
sinusoid. This field can be adjusted, rotated and
moved in order to simulate the movement of mass
through a donut-shaped singularity and into an
alternate world line. Thus, safe time travel.

Fig. 7: Detailed device schematic, presumably another scan from

the technical manual but that is uncertain. Unfortunately the
legend is missing for all the numbered labels, or we could go a
lot farther in analyzing the circuitry.

Fig. 10: Bent laser light.

Description
purportedly
from John.
This is a
picture
taken in the
fall of 2035
during my
training. It
shows my
instructor
beaming a
handheld
laser outside
the vehicle
during
operation.
The beam is
being bent
by the
gravitational
field
produced
outside the
vehicle by
the
distortion
unit. The
beam is
visible
through
smoke that
is coming
from his
cigar.

Fig. 11: Photo of the unit in a vehicle. This appears to not be a

Corvette, John mentioned somewhere that he swapped the
Corvette for a truck. That looks like a shotgun in the front
center.

Fig. 12: A second photo of the unit in the truck. Paint colors
match, the padded cushion in the foreground appears to be the
same as in Fig. 11, and there is the same white box to the left of
the unit in both photos.

Fig. 13: Third photo of the unit in the truck. The several objects
in the foreground appear to have not been moved, but the light is
different as if this photo were taken at a different time of day
than Fig 12. There is a red glow reflecting off the instruction
label which could possibly be an indicator lamp. Could the unit
be turned on? Possibly it's in some kind of testing or
maintenance mode or maybe it's reflecting light from outside the
vehicle. The glow appears to be coming from a button labelled
'emergency disconnect' (#5) in Fig. 6. But it could also be
coming from the 'emergency view screen' (#4) shown in Fig. 6 if
that is perhaps a red LED display.

Fig. 14: John's unit insignia. Supposedly the design is based on

the field patterns of the time distortion device, reminiscent of
Figs 3 and 4 above. It's probably unwise to try to infer too much
from it since it's just a logo design.

Questions for timetravel_0 with permission to post.
Pamela:
by the way can you tell me what it feels like to time travel?
when you are in the process of doing it what does it feel like and
what do you see and hear. you made mention that you had to get
use to the fields. Do you see a bright flash of light?

Timetravel_0:
Interesting first question. The unit has a ramp up time after the

http://johntitor.strategicbrains.com/TimeMachine.cfm Page 18 of 21
The Story of John Titor 11/24/10 9:19 AM

destination coordinates are fed into the computers. An audible

alarm and a small light start a short countdown at which point
you should be secured in a seat. The gravity field generated by
the unit overtakes you very quickly. You feel a tug toward the
unit similar to rising quickly in an elevator and it continues to
rise based on the power setting the unit is working under. At
100% power, the constant pull of gravity can be as high as 2 Gs
or more depending on how close you are to the unit. There are
no serious side effects but I try to avoid eating before a flight.

No bright flash of light is seen. Outside, the vehicle appears to

accelerate as the light is bent around it. We have to wear
sunglasses or close our eyes as this happens due to a short burst
of ultraviolet radiation. Personally I think it looks like your
driving under a rainbow. After that, it appears to fade to black
and remains totally black until the unit is turned off. We are
advised to keep the windows closed as a great deal of heat builds
up outside the car. The gravity field also traps a small air pocket
around the car that acts as your only O2 supply unless you bring
compressed air with you. This pocket will only last for a short
period and a carbon sensor tells us when it's too dangerous. The
C204 unit is accurate from 50 to 60 years a jump and travels at
about 10 years an hour at 100% power.

You do hear a slight hum as the unit operates and when the
power changes or the unit turns off. There is a great deal of
electrical crackling noise from static electricity.
