New Evidence that Helps Validate that John aka TT_0 was in Fact from the Future.

[Jay Walker]

Your Honor, I would like to admit this exhibit into evidence as Exhibit A.

November 7, 2000, John submitted to TTI a post describing his time-travel device. In this post he describes his device having 4 cesium clocks in the C204. For those who don't know what a cesium clock is, it is a time-keeping device that measures the frequency in which atoms vibrate. Cesium is a chemical element with the symbol Cs and atomic number 55. Cesium plays a critical role in technology, especially in atomic clocks, where its precise oscillation frequency is used to define the second in the International System of Units (SI). It's also used in electronics, medical imaging, and even as a drilling fluid in the oil industry.
However, John mentions in the same post that the C206 time displacement unit uses 6 cesium clocks, but (a huge but) but they use an optical system to measure the oscillation frequency. To the average Joe this might seem completely benign. Although it may seem like an insignificant detail, the research I conducted via pure curiosity found that the optical system in order to measure atomic frequency for purpose of clock was not invented yet. The earliest you can find this tech being developed was at the University of Tokyo in 2001 (a year after John's Post), where a man named Professor Hidetoshi Katori developed an Optical Lattice Clock, which is similar to the Optical Atomic Clock. However, there was a demonstration of optical comb technology in 2000.

In other words, in 2001, optical atomic clock technology was a very new emerging technology. He mentions it almost like 'in passing' as part of his time-traveling narrative?

Methinks not.

The Image above is an example of what is called an Optical Atomic Clock.

The cesium clock does pre-date John's posts, however, the patent for an OPTICAL system that checks oscillation frequency has a patent:

Pantent #US7982944B2
Simply entitled: "Method and apparatus for optical frequency comb generation using a monolithic micro-resonator."
The year of our lord good 'ol 2008.


This is a screenshot from a YouTube video that has a robot voice reading all of John's Posts.
I highlighted the key sentence.
Just some context to further my theory.


One of NIST's 2013 pair of ytterbium optical lattice atomic clocks.

Look at how massive they were in 2013. They weren't even imagined to be portable until fairly recently. But John did? How?

Also, John L. Hall and Theodor W. Hansch shared the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics for their contributions to optical clock development.

So, what do you think?

Disclaimer* if I am missing information or have anything wrong it was due to the excitement of getting this posted. Perhaps more due diligence is in order.
Or perhaps I stumbled across something everyone overlooked?
Please help either proving me correct or let me down easily and tell me I am a schmuck.

Whoever Titor or TT0 is, he/she is definitely involved in some sort of time travel operation. I know this because I found evidence of time manipulation, and some of it is related to and/or referenced in the posts.

But others do not see what I see. Titor is merely words on a screen to most people. There is nothing specific or definitive to prove he was a time traveler. At best, you scrounge up "Evidence that Helps Validate". Under any normal circumstance, Titor would be immediately written off as a hoaxer or mentally ill. He'd be dismissed and forgotten. His internet legacy would have lasted about two minutes. You would not find it with a web search, and there would be no cult following or fancy expensive websites.

It has always puzzled me why so many people would invest so much for so long into an anonymous claim backed by nothing.

I see where your coming from. My interest in time-travel goes back to when I was maybe 13. I watched any movie that tested their writing abilities trying to write around plot-line paradoxes. Because of these constant plot holes, I became very skeptical regarding people claiming it was real. My interest never diminished even though these claims all have their own plot-holes.

Why am I telling you this?
And why is it important?

Well, I am telling you because you posted on this thread that I wrote, secondly it may not be important to you, but I think it is fun.

The reason why I find this particular story about John Titor fun, is that he explained time-travel in a way that I had never heard before. He in just a few posts eliminated the paradoxes that still plague writers in Hollywood forcing them to rewrite time-loop narratives over and over again. Semi-recently they tried their hand at a Time Dilation movie called Interstellar. In order to write this movie, they needed assistance from one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists in the world. Kip Thorne.
However, some random poster from 2000 claiming to be a time traveler from a dystopian future created something that just doesn't exist in pop culture because they keep running into causality paradoxes. His story is so compelling to me because no one really knows how to disprove his claims. The only evidence people have is that the future events he spoke about never happened.
I argue, that is not evidence against him because he happened to close that paradox that allows for a divergence to occur from our perspective.

I have heard many time-traveler claims, but they are usually boring and doesn't make any sense. John's story on the hand, real or fake captivates me.

I hope that makes sense to you.

I don't mind talking about it, so let me know if you have questions, or some links that discuss this further. Tc.

P.S.
If it is a cult to some, it isn't to me.
This story got my creative juices flowing and I think people that dismiss this story are really missing out.

 

[The Real McZero]

Thank you, Jay Walker. You find Titor's story unique and interesting so you follow along for fun. I think that's true for a lot of people. I question the motives of some though.

Time travel operations apparently involve a lot of very dark and ugly things. There is a lot of foul play and I don't really trust any of it at face value. That includes the world of John Titor and these sites.

 

[Jay Walker]

I really don't know what the Titor saga has become. I only know that John's purpose was driven by decent intentions, and that is the only thing I know for sure.
When people find opportunity, they always take it to the absolute breaking point. John was the exception.

However, as far as this site is concerned, I really thought by being someone that took time learning about everything surrounding this site, I would be preaching to the quire most of the time. It turns out however, that the people I have interacted with are the biggest sceptics. They are harder to convince than people that dismiss it as nuts. It turns out, they are talented, educated, and smart critical thinkers, and during a time in history that can be so arrogant, these guys let you have a voice even when they don't agree.

P.S. Politics aren't welcomed as much as I would have expected. Some people here flat out abandon threads that get too politically charged.

Don't be so sure. Titor's story is fiction laced with hidden info, and evidence suggests these sites are an intelligence operation. They're already busted doing all kinds of shady things. Their integrity is null. They aren't trustworthy.

If this gets through moderation, if I start backing up my assertions, this conversation will not be allowed to continue. The cosmic gatekeeper will have to end it. So conversations here are kind of pointless or of little value.

A lot was added to the story. The Titor story wasn't that complicated, but through the years people have added more and more to it.

It's been subjected to heavy manipulation. ...posts altered removed or added, rebranding as a hoax, copyrights, gatekeeper control freaks, lies, obfuscation, hacking, stalking, etc.

Titor was/is shady too. Why would a time travel operative post on the internet? Why would he/she go out of his/her way to be noticed and secretly leave or point out evidence of time travel directed at specific people? Why not quietly approach them send a letter or something more simple direct and discreet?

The whole situation is wrought with inconsistency and deception.

I'm sorry, I did that. It won't happen again. I didn't realize that some of you individuals are sensitive to what you post and how you post it. I just thought that the post in question looked like something that needed to be corrected grammatically. Next time, I'll just leave it be, no matter how much unacceptable it looks to me.

I’ve experienced some of it. And I’ve often had questions, too. I understand where you are coming from. Maybe the posts were meant for someone to find.

Ya think, maybe, possibly? Idk. What I do know is, time travel isn't possible by speed or gravity pockets. At light speed there is a huge problem with increasing mass, with gravity cavities you get stuck at the center never exiting the other end... there may be another way though.

Firstly, thank you for interacting with the initial post. I thought it was a great catch that might been overlooked.
But, when it comes to your comment directly, I think you might be interested to know that what you are saying is correct, but your conclusion is not.

How you are correct:

Traveling at speeds close to the speed of light can cause significant time dilation, where time moves slower for the traveler compared to an outside observer. This is not time travel in the traditional sense of moving to the past or far future.

Strong gravitational fields, like those near a black hole, can also cause time dilation. Time moves slower in stronger gravity compared to weaker gravity. Again, this effect allows for forward "time travel" relative to other observers but does not enable travel to the past.

How your conclusion is not:

A single rotating black hole (a Kerr black hole) causes spacetime around it to "drag" along with its rotation, an effect known as frame dragging.

If two black holes are rotating near each other, (As described by John Titor) their combined gravitational effects could potentially produce even more pronounced distortions in spacetime, creating regions where closed loops in time CTCs (closed timelike curves) might form.

In theory, these could lead to pathways through spacetime that form loops—allowing a hypothetical return to an earlier point.

Now, I would have enjoyed a discussion on how John predicted Optical Atomic Clocks more, but discussing the actuality of time-travel is just as good, thank you.

I don't mean to sound harsh. It's just that I've had that happen a lot and get frustrated.

To clarify, I purposely typed it out as "Why would he/she/they go out of his way..." because I wanted to subtly imply that we don't really know who HE his. HE could be a SHE or a THEY. I didn't include "IT" because I seriously doubt that Titor is AI or an extraterrestrial asexual worm.

My guess is that you've discovered evidence of time travel, albeit subtle. But that's how it works. It's always indirect and implied through reason, always something out of place. In this case, it's knowledge.

Here's one for you; The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem is 666.6 nautical miles from the Kaaba Stone in Saudi Arabia. On the surface it's merely an interesting coincidence. But consider when they were built in relation to when/how the concept of a nautical mile came into existence.

It looks like someone a thousand years ago knew what a nautical mile is (a few hundred years early), and anticipated the aforementioned being discovered with modern technology.

Ok, let me give you an example of when people blow things out of proportion with subtle coincidence. For instance, there was a discovery of an ancient device from around 100 BCE called the Antikythera Mechanism. Discovered in a shipwreck near Greece, off the coast of an Island named Antikythera. After scanning the internals of this device, the purpose of it and the origin was also discovered. It could predict astronomical events far ahead of was once believed not possible for people then. Suddenly the floodgates of theories, talking about alien tech, ancient computer, time travel, and so on.
The evidence however, tells a much more boring resolution. It is basically a big winding watch. Instead of it using gears, springs, and other kinetic energy to tell time, it predicts moon phases and other things winding watches have started telling on the peripheral of the time.
The technology was already present at the time, but that mechanism was just a bigger version.
That isn't something I read; I did the research on my own and drew that conclusion. While Stephen Spielberg makes another installment of Indiana Jones crapathon manipulating the myth of this device to tell a dumb story.

On the other hand, there is no explanation for this guy knowing as much as he did back in the year 2000.
Especially at that moment.
I will give you another example of Titor knowing something he shouldn't have.
I can look up the exact quote, but I don't anyone is going care.
I digress
Someone asked him what cameras were like in 2036. }
His answer, if you know anything about that time, all cameras still used film.
But he said, yes, we have cameras, but they are mostly digital, film is still used, but more like paintings are today.
Now, I don't think people use film to be artsy anymore, but there was a long time during the transition people were using film and showing them off in galleries as art.
How would he have guessed that a decade in advance?

Believe or not, it is good. Real good.

Mac, please point out which posts on what threads have been "altered removed or added"? If you can point them out Cosmo can take a look at the logs and back-up if he believes the issue is...well...an issue.

With respect to Titor/TT0 I can assure you that the original posts made on this site, on Post-2-Post and on Anomalies.net have never been altered, removed or added to relative to the posts made during Boomer's time here. Those posts are stored on this BBS in the same form that they were in on the day Titor/TTO stopped posting. Thereafter the active threads on this BBS and on Anomalies.net remained active. So in that sense, yes, there were more posts added to the threads but none were deleted or altered. Copies of the threads taken from Post-2-Post, which no longer exists, are still unaltered. I personally retain, on multiple air-gapped drives, the original threads from all three sites as do Pamela Moore and Rick Donaldson. We copied those threads in 2001.

We didn't copyright the threads because we don't hold the rights to the intellectual properties. Those rights are held by Olav Phillips (owner of Anomalies.net), Cosmo (current owner of this site - Raul Burriel aka MOP was the original owner) and either Premiere Radio Network or the estate of Art Bell (Post-2-Post BBS). The John Titor Foundation claims a copyright over some of the material. It does own the IP for The Book and other properties developed by the JTF. It is not clear at all whether JTF holds any IP rights to the posts. The TOS agreements at the three sites involved at the time clearly stated that the owner of the BBS involved became the owner of any and all posts on their sites.

There are no gatekeepers. Everyone here is free to post just about anything. Of course there are limits. But I've been on this BBS for 25 years and I can only recall one instance where a member was perma-banned. That was Javier Cortez over 20 years ago. I've never seen a Moderator or an Admin delete a post, at least not intentionally. In the one instance I can recall where a post was unintentionally deleted Raul went to the back-up copied the post and re-inserted into the thread with apologies.

If you're assuming that there are missing posts on the aforementioned threads based on Hoax Hunter's material then please don't. Yes, as I explained, one member deleted all 2,500+ of his posts in a single setting over 20 years ago. Those posts were divided between Anomalies and TTI. He did not delete any posts on the original Titor/TTO threads; for some reason he knew that that would be going too far. I perma-banned him on Anomalies for that transgression. As I explained a couple of weeks ago, I felt like crap in doing so because the member had serious mental health issues and Anomalies and TTI were his mental health refuges. But the damage he did was significant and I had suspended him twice before. It had to be done.

So, please enjoy this forum. But don't get angry or frustrated. Speak your mind but please don't accuse the staff and/or fellow community members as you have done here. That's was uncalled for. Raul started this site for entertainment purposes only. Cosmo is carrying on that tradition. There is no grand conspiracy, lies, gatekeeping, obfuscation, hacking, controlling or stalking.

There are several posts with hidden information. Some are of key critical importance. They're part of a larger body of evidence of time travel operations that also include heinous criminal acts. They were there and then they were gone. So I went searching deeper into archives and found them again. Then they disappeared from the archives too. Now they only exist on people's personal memory devices and old websites that copied them long ago when they were fresh. Some of them exist in altered form.

Go find as many copies of everything Titor from as many sources as possible. Compare and take note of the inconsistency between each. It's a mess. And legit sources have gone out of their way to bury parts of it? Why?

Two missing/altered posts are particularly interesting. One of them was posted 3/18/01 at 01:01 AM by Titor. (Some sites have it listed as Javier posting and some have it as Titor, some have no names, times or dates. ) The other is on 1/31/01 around 3:00 PM by Vanessa Bunn, as well as the response from Titor. Where are they? They weren't here the other day.

There are at least two credible witnesses who claim to have been cyber-stalked, as in admins or site affiliates trying to track them or obtain personal information. I've personally witnessed the freakishly controlling admins and obfuscation.

All things considered, it looks a bit suspicious. Consider that around the time Titor is posting hidden info and claiming to be a time traveler, the same info becomes part of a bombing affiliated with intel ops, and the posts eventually get removed and shoved down the memory hole by a group of people who are freakishly controlling of the narrative. It's not like I'm making a formal accusation, but I can't extend my trust to the producers of Titor world.

What's it to you anyway?

Believe or not, it is good. Real good.

Digital cameras were developed from the 1960's to 1980's. The first consumer models were available in the 1990's.

He probably was describing the future, but you can't prove it because one could simply argue that he made a reasonable prediction based on the 1990-2000 digital camera market.
