Did anyone meet John Titor?

"He did say that this worldline and his were "almost exactly alike."

I have a hard time believing that he would say they are almost exactly alike where his worldline had a Y2K disaster and this worldline did not."

I have a doubt on that too. That 2.5% divergence he meant could be the GEOGRAPHICAL divergenge sensed by his VGL unit.

I dont think he has anything that senses Y2K or how people think different in this Worldline.
 
He openly said our worldline never had Y2K. So his Worldline has been through it. Do you understand what difference does it make in ours, considering the Unix and Linux in our Worldline. We may not even have the bug he had.

We do have this particular Unix bug. Basically Unix counts time in seconds and will run out of space to continue to do this in the year 2038 I believe. You can google this its easy to find. However this would only affect 32 bit programs and is not a factor for 64 bit programming. The Majority of computers and software is currently 32bit, my guess would be above 95%.
 
Ren:

I've never heard of a de-compiler. And I work in the computer industry. Maybe there is and I've just never heard of one.

Show me one that works for old IBM machine code and I will know Titor is a fake.

I would have to do some research to find one for the old IBM machine code, but it is a possibility. I know there are decompilers that can take any .EXE file and some .DLL files and convert this into assembly. We used to use this for cracking purposes, find the procedure that would check a registration code and re-write the routine to skip over that part. Recompile and, voila you've got your freeware.

The question is, has there ever been a decompiler for IBM machine code, I don't even know what type of machine code that was, any ideas?
 
Herc,

When you break Titor's version of Many Worlds down then his whole story makes no sense at all if, as he stated, his purpose was to help us avoid Y2K, civil war and nuclear war.

In his description every possible outcome is played out on an infinite array of parallel worlds. If that's true then no matter what he (or anyone else) does every possible scenario come to pass on some world. It's rather pointless to attempt to do anything because by that definition "reality" is nothing more than a random walk..

(Fortunately his description of MWI isn't correct. In "real" MWI the only outcomes that are possible are the outcomes embedded in the probability wave. If anything and everything was possible then there would be at least one universe where the Earth is made from yogurt and people are blueberry syrup.
)
 
"as he stated, his purpose was to help us avoid Y2K, civil war and nuclear war."

His purpose in this Worldline is to prepare his family in this worldline since he PROMISED his grandfather to do that. He is travelling forward in time from 1975 to the future of his Grandfather's Worldline, not HIS. May be he could have promised his Grandfather to avoid Y2K in his grandfather's Worldline, not his. I hope u Understood his theory clearly /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif

This and this fact alone is what convinced me the Titor story was fake. If All realities happen as JT said, then why wouldn't he provide us with unlimited information. Its not like he would be hurting anything, in fact, in Some timeline, he would HAVE to provide us with that information, since All possible realities exist.

And the moon is made from Cheese, but the blueberry syrup people are continually hunted down by wild packs of Pancakes!

Essentially, I do not believe there are infinite worldlines/timelines, only that there is possibility for infinite choice and change over time.
 
"Its not like he would be hurting anything"

He could be hurting his family. My opinion is, he never wanted to warn us about the Yellowstone. What you would think could happen if he gave information that proved he was real, and told the Yellowstone would erupt. You think by helping you, he would not divert this Worldline that would change the fates of all of us and his FAMILY in THIS Worldline?

Don't forget to include computers that control the antiquated infrastructure of this country, exactly what JT was referring to.

In some places we are still operating computers built back in the 1970s.

I'm not saying this proves JT is real. Only that his story is very, very, very hard to disprove. I'm still looking.

I thought he said that he was here because of a promise to his grandfather, to help his family prepare for the future.

Which begs the question: "Why couldn't his grandfather just wait and prepare them himself?"

Where did you get "help us avoid Y2K, civil war and nuclear war"?

JT actually said why he would not do this. Look it up.
 
Darby wrote:

"In 1998, via his two faxes to Art Bell (Coast-2-Coast), Titor said that Y2K was a world disaster."

Personnaly if it was not written in the two bb postintgs with starting dates of Nov 2000 and Jan 2001, or the IRC chat file from Oct 2000 I disregard them as no way to prove that are connected to the original postings.

I'm not saying I'm right, just that is how I handle any other writings supposedly from JT.

Yes. By jove I think you've got it!

Here's another brain twister: "Why didn't JT's grandfather just wait and prepare his family himself?"
 
Adrian (NKC),

As a writer/director you are familiar with how the entertainment business works.

The answer to your question is Larry Haber, Attorney at Law, 606 Front Street, Celebration, FLA 34747 is the one person whom we know to have had contact with "Titor" (at least indirectly through "Mom" Titor).

He is the attorney of record for the John Titor Foundation and he is the business manager.

He is an entertainment industry lawyer, is well known in the business and has been the Executive Producer for at least one major studio film. He has been a corporate attorney for Disney and Universal Studios. His wife still works for Disney as an Exec.

You should contact him directly for any information. But don't be surprised if he isn't willing to give up much - unless you can convince him that a partnership is in the JTF's best interest.

There is the not-so-improbable possibility that Haber is "Boomer" himself (the author of the Titor Saga) and that his son Brandon is also a member of Group Titor (along with a couple other Celebration residents).

Have fun with it. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Very possible. And JTF did copyright the story.

The other possibility is the JTF came across the JT story on the Internet and copyrighted the story not because they wrote it but because they saw an opportunity to make money on the story.

They copyrighted the story with the hope that no one would come forward and dispute the copyright. That could be the case if JT was indeed a time traveler OR a perpetrator of one heck of an Internet hoax who knows it he reveals him/herself the gig is up.

Darby, what about Pamela?
 
"a perpetrator of one heck of an Internet hoax who knows it he reveals him/herself the gig is up."

How do u think he's gonna reveal it? What proof can he give that proves HE/SHE is the REAL hoaxer?

Exactly why the JTF has very little risk in copyrighting JT's story.

Hey Ren, it affects ONLY 32-bit programs right!

Consider the fact that HP computers become Obsolete every 4 years. And AMD and Pentium manufacturing 64-bit processors now, what do u think HP has in 2036?
 
Surprisingly, mainstream computers will all be 64 bit in less than 2 years, with the work of AMD on x86-64 releasing the extensions and starting a consortium, along with designing their new Hyper transport Point to Point bus protocol. They are working with Microsoft on a version of WinXP for 64 bit and the beta is already up and running on at least one of my friends computers. in 30 years there will be as many 32 bit programs as there are 16 bit programs now. ie, less than 1% of the total.
