2009

I honestly don't know which one it would be.

How about none of them, since you were just throwing out a vague guess? That and you are a poor hoaxer.

I finally asked a few clerks at the base to send me something like a short history book:

-January 7, 2010: meteor damages a big factory in Russia (Chechnya)
-January 23, 2010: Bomb found on plane in England
-March 19, 2010: Iran makes a peace treaty with Israel, and essentially agrees to enter as Israel's ally in its conflicts

Don't know whether you are bold or just not-so-bright. But these will readily be falsified, I am fairly sure... especially the last one.

World Politics: Russia and China continue to make allies throughout Asia and the Middle East in hopes of making a balance of power versus the US. The Iranian government has made "peace" with Israel only to enter a conflict with it as its ally, and then claim foul play on Israel and declare war, which of course won't go without UN/US intervention.

So how about telling us the date that China finally decides to take back Taiwan by force?

Well, Ralph's first of his latest predictions is coming due today:

-January 7, 2010: meteor damages a big factory in Russia (Chechnya)
Click to expand...

As I type this, it is approaching 5:30PM in the time zone that contains both Moscow and Grozny. Nothing in the news no matter how many combinations I use of "meteor, Chechnya, Russia, damage, factory".

Not much time left, but then again did any of us actually believe Ralph's WAG would be a hit?
RMT
 
Meanwhile...

While Ralph's prediction for today is failing, here in the USA we hear of 3 people being shot in a transformer factory in St. Louis.

http://www.cnn.com/2010/CRIME/01/07/factory.shootings/index.html

One would think that if Ralph contacted "a few clerks on the base" to send him some history, especially if it was from this day, that they would have selected this story... because certainly this one story is going to shape the majority of the newsday here in the USA.

Epic Fail.

Does that happen before or after Elvis Presley is found alive and well at Area 51 following a resonance cascade in the interdimensional time vortex created by scientists working on the Roswell crash debris ?
 
Hello all. well, I barely found my thread, after logging off yesterday, and coming back today, it wasn't there at all.. and when I looked for it, it was at page 3. I realize I've accidentally jumped a year into the future, I obviously haven't accomplished my mission, since I've just appeared a year later..

Apologies for the incorrect forecasts, they didn't have dates on them, and I assumed they would follow up the next year. That goes for the Iran-Israel treaty, which no one in their right mind could probably suggest to happen these days. no, not unless Israel conquers Iran and makes them do it.. (or vice versa! haha). Surely I would have talked about Haiti about January 2010, if it were the right year. But no, more discussion of my mission, no point in telling one about it, when everyone seems to think I'm not from the future. How about I tell you what will happen tomorrow and before the month is over? New Year's? January?

Thursday, December 30, 2010 - Several more bodies found in Michigan explosion
Friday, December 31, 2010 - Yet another bomb explodes in Europe!
January, 2011 - Last American WW1 Veteran dies.. days shy of his 110th birthday, a shame (no date)
January, 2011 - Obama slowly fixing economic (health bill, etc) crisis.. ultimately the issue becomes lulled, and no one really gets any credit for the governmental fix

In the middle/most of January next year, we will see a rise of terrorism in Southern and Southwestern/eastern Europe (Spain, Italy, Greece etc).

and for the New Year's: yeah you guessed it man dies in Boston due to accidental gunfire (big surprise there :-/ ), which will ultimately lead to gun law control, laws arresting anyone in sight in public with a firearm around New Year's and major holidays, charged as "assault with a deadly weapon" (that's what this thing says, but can that be legal to be charged like that?? :-| ) :-)) . happy new year to all of you too! /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Hello again Ralphy!

Nice to have you back, hope you'll pick up where you left off.

Couple questions;

"Accidently went forward a year in time", mind explaining how that happened?
And I beilieve you are referring to this veteran, correct; Last WWI Veteran turns 109
Now I'm gonna go brush up on your story and get back to you later!
 
Yawn.

Thursday, December 30, 2010 - Several more bodies found in Michigan explosion
Click to expand...

Because you read the same initial report on the blast that I did, which talked about the fact that at least two people who worked there were known missing.....NOT because you are a time traveler.

Friday, December 31, 2010 - Yet another bomb explodes in Europe!
Click to expand...

Can't even pin it down to a city? You mean to tell me that your news report that you got from your buddies only says "bomb explodes in Europe" but does not even mention which country, much less which city? Journalism continues its downward trend, I see... or, you are not a time traveler, but instead are shotgunning what you hope will happen?

January, 2011 - Last American WW1 Veteran dies.. days shy of his 110th birthday, a shame (no date)

Will you pay for his funeral if he lives into Feb?

January, 2011 - Obama slowly fixing economic (health bill, etc) crisis.. ultimately the issue becomes lulled, and no one really gets any credit for the governmental fix

So he will have it all wrapped-up by the end of January, eh? Wow, you are pathetic. Could you be even a bit more creative in what you make up?

In the middle/most of January next year, we will see a rise of terrorism in Southern and Southwestern/eastern Europe (Spain, Italy, Greece etc).

Again, cannot even quote one event? One city? One date?

I hope you are proud of yourself. I wouldn't be.

Moreover:

Given that it is not the typical tornado season in the middle of the US right now, it would have been even more impressive if you had told us about the tornado that touched down in Arkansas today, rather than shotgunning "yet another bomb explodes in Europe". (Which I am still waiting on hearing today)

Bomb. Europe. December 31st. Now calm down.

Give me one good reason why I should care what you think?

And are you now doing all of Ralph's work to "validate" his weak "predictions"?

Happy New Year to you, too.

Got to go with Rainman on this one.

A bomb going off in Europe during/around the time of New Years celebrations; Wasn't exactly all that much of a surprise, considering the political environment now-a-days. I was actually surprised there weren't "more" bomb blasts here and there.

That would have been grounds for somewhat better proof... TWO bomb blasts in Athens, Greece within 24 hours.

I was waiting for an explaination that would somehow connect the bomb blast in Alexandria was IN FACT ( kind-a; sort-a ) in Europe since Alexandria was founded by Alexander the Great, whom was from Europe; And as part of the Roman Empire at one time( a " European based Empire " ) could be said to be mistaken as being "in Europe".

Also, as per the same linked News source :

"""
Greek police warned Friday that extremist groups could stage more attacks ...

"""

Guess that means that the Greek Police have Time Travelers amongst their ranks, eh ?

Never mind the...


" ahead of a trial of radical anarchists next month, a day after a bomb exploded outside an Athens court. "We see a mobilisation by extremist groups in view of this trial," police spokesman Thanassis Kokkalakis told AFP. Over a dozen suspects will be tried on January 17 for alleged involvement in Conspiracy of Fire Nuclei, a radical anarchist group that in November sent 14 parcel bombs to embassies in Athens and European government leaders. Last week a similar bombing campaign in Rome injured two people at the embassies of Switzerland and Chile and also targeted the Greek embassy. "

...portion of the story.


Considering there was/is a bombing campaign taking place; To state "yet another bomb goes off in Europe " actually does the opposite from validating a time traveler's claim AS such.

~~~~

Saying a man 109 years old is going to pass away...wouldn't be all that much of a shocker IF he did. Near his birthday isn't much of a stretch, considering all the attention he knows will be coming, probably quite stressful on the old man's ticker.

A time traveler, wouldn't be making "predictions" at all, merely reciting facts of future events.

I just don't see how it would be all that difficult for a time traveler to provide 1) Date 2) Time 3) Specific Location; - SORRY - an entire Continent doesn't count 4) Details of specific newsworthy event(s)...such as the Tornado outbreak that Rainman mentioned.

I wasn't "thinking" anything. Your post was about how there were no bomb blasts in Europe, and I linked you too a bomb blast in Europe. As I said before, calm down.
And are you now doing all of Ralph's work to "validate" his weak "predictions"?
Click to expand...
No, I was just presented with a hypothesis "-Another bomb will go off in Europe on December 31st, 2010" and went searching for evidence, and found some, and posted it here. It wouldn't be any different than if he said "Necromages will unleash fury on the Bahamas tomorrow" and I posted a link to a news story reporting that's exactly what happened and then you complained after narrowmindly deciding since YOU couldn't find the news story then he must have been wrong.

Besides, I could mind no mention whatsoever of a Accidental Shootings in Boston on New Years so, I am now doubtful instead of neutral.
 
I completely agree these are weak essentially meaningless predictions, but it was irritating how quickly rain man decided that since he couldn't find supporting data then Ralph was complete fuey.
Yeah, I saw the warning signs new stories and pretty much figured that's what he did and really only cared about this New Years shootings, which I could not find a mention of.
It appears Ralph got sucked a year ahead into the future again and we won't get to talk to him about it anyways /ttiforum/images/graemlins/frown.gif

That's an issue for Rainman to address, himself.

Exactly. There hasn't really been anything proclaimed from any time travel claimant that can't be gleened from published materials already available.

A "real" time traveler wouldn't even need to state they are making any predictions ; but merely reciting details of event(s) they witnessed or read about first hand in the future. Stating them on here in advance of any future event, well, I don't believe that doing so would really change anything in the time-line(s); there are plenty of events that could be presented that nobody could nor would do anything about anyway.

An accidental shooting in any major city around New Years also wouldn't be all that much of a surprise, either. I would have figured that such a news report would come from somewhere in a gun-toting State, like Texas, and pick a big city like...um...Dallas.

And even IF Ralph had provided a name, and some other details, I wonder who here at TTI would bother to warn the named person ? or merely wait to see IF it actually happens ?

Still though, feel that I should repeat what I stated before; Just because the lack of merit in any particular claim, doesn't mean that I personally don't believe in time travel. Just haven't seen any claims ( yet ) that have are indicitive of time traveling. Also don't believe a "real" time traveler would fit into the "classical/romantic" definition's of what most people think, anyway.

And again, anybody that is going to claim to be a time traveler would know in advance what the responses on this board would be to any claims of being from the future and post accordingly. I'd like nothing more than to have at least one time travel claimant throw down some truly astonishing information --- got to say that most of us have been waiting for an awefully long time for "that" to happen.

In the meantime, nothing all that intriguing has been presented.

As far as throwing in a time-line variance percentage to account for being wrong, is simply a cop-out. That some sort of event takes place on a different time-line than this one, who within "this" time-line would or should care ?

It appears Ralph got sucked a year ahead into the future again and we won't get to talk to him about it anyways

Hello my friend! /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif . Happy New Year!

I have no clue, apparently something in the machine messed up, but.. that's all good, it has happened before, and it's not a big deal since I can go back anytime at any time /ttiforum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

but my the fanmail is exhausting with praise! Let's just answer some skepticism..: Rainman, no, these little events don't have many details.. apparently the story about the Boston shooting wasn't about a shooting "IN" boston but around Boston, and they got it wrong. Check up Lowell, Massachusetts. I can't vouch for these facts here, and it's not a day-by-day encyclopedia, it just has some details about minor events that have set in motion major events. For example the bombing, apparently in Athens, sets in motion terrorism in Southern and South-Western Europe. And the person (I assumed it was a man, but it was a woman apparently: http://boston.cbslocal.com/2011/01/03/no-bail-for-accused-killers-in-lowell-new-year%E2%80%99s-shooting/ ), makes that gun law across the US (perhaps with the exception of Texas?). The Egyptian bombing was a shame, but yes, I know Egypt is not in Europe (contrary to my 11th grade English teacher, who maintained Greece was in Africa..)

Yes, Mr. KerrTexas, it could have been predicted that a shooting around New Year's would occur in a major city (really doubtful Boston would be one, since it's forbidden to have glass bottles/glasses on the second floor of a restaurant, let alone someone going out with guns), but it's the law it sets in motion.

Request dates for events and you will have an answer, since it seems if I pick one that seems big, it gets plastered as "guesswork" based on reading some nonsense in the newspaper.. which i haven't, or something else..

As far as throwing in a time-line variance percentage to account for being wrong, is simply a cop-out. That some sort of event takes place on a different time-line than this one, who within "this" time-line would or should care ?

Wasn't a different, timeline, it all happens on this timeline.. just a different year apparently. The encyclopedia is not organized by a timeline, like you all seem to be thinking, such as: 2011: Jan, Feb, March, etc. this and that happens (I don't think such a book is very common, especially for world events, of which i water it down for the US). It has events which i see and pick up and gather into a timeline for.. you all fellow-skeptics /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif

but all of it happens in this timeline: If I go back 50 years into the past and kill my grandfather, I simply never get born, but that doesn't mean I could never time travel to kill him in the first place.. it simply means you rewrite the universe's history.. kind of like rewinding back a Disk and writing over it something else.. it simply means that time is just an extension of the universe, and once you exit the universe, you are not restricted by time. History is not history, and rewriting it does not mean rewriting your own history, but the future of the world. Though I can personally say, no one has erased any brothers or sisters you might have otherwise had.. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I can believe this, any encyclopedia I've read has a very lack luster approach to specific details on events that are related by aren't directly what the article is about. I can imagine the page now;
"Rise in Terroism in Soutern Europe in the early 21st century; The global economic collapse of 2008 (see pages 221 Volume G), particulary affected Southern Europe as government could no longer support it's welfare programs. This coupled with the influx of unincorperated African and Middle Eastern immigrants, led to some parts of Southern Europe becoming very unstable. Notably countries like Italy, Spain, and Greece. Another attack just before new years 2011 led to..." and so on, getting more in-depth. Our friend could have just skimmed a section similar to this and picked a few things that stood out. Same for his other predictions.

This seems substantially different from the workings of time you mentioned before when you first came here. Back then you said it was impossible to change time at all, a lesson you said you garnered through rigorously trying to murder a cat I do recall :P

Yes, exactly what I meant, my friend /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif . I was not referring for the events I told you guys about this year (2011.. just so there is no confusion /ttiforum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif ), but for the ones I predicted for January 2010, those were apparently scattered around, only the one with the meteor seems to have been from 2010. I would of course, do my best to give the dates for these days so as to prove I am indeed from the year 2032 (spring of 2032 is when they sent me back here).

In the experiment, when we put the cat and waited a day, the reason it had disappeared the next day was because the person who had time traveled (by we, i mean the team, and by the team, it was only one person who went back, who was not me. As I mentioned, this is the first time I am going back in time), and our friend time traveled a day into the past and let the cat go. From that we understood the previous (with respect to ourselves) day, as he came back and told us what he did, had simply been rewritten by our friend's actions, and thus he rewrote the future.

Also, how is that Pakistani mission of yours going?

Awh, that's a downer. I was hoping for ample time to stock up

Alrighty then, how about giving us something clear with precise date, location, event details for something for tomorrow, just to prove you can atleast get the format of your predictions up to par to time traveler standards, and then make another prediction for something that happens on the 10th of January, or if you can't find anything then the nearest day after that, sound fair?

It seems you've been spending alot of time searching for a camera? Why don't you just drive down or get a lift to LA and buy one from a fancy photography store and get the mission over with?
 
I can't vouch for these facts here

If you can't vouch for the facts why, pray tell, are you posting them?

See Lowell? If you're accepting Lowell as "around Boston" then you've cut a rather wide path thus assuring success. Taking Boston-Lowell as the radius if you strike an arc of that radius with Boston as the center then you cut near Worcester and all the way down to just north of Providence. Give yourself 4000 square miles of the New York-Boston metro area and you can't miss. It ain't the middle of Montana.
