Just because "Titor" repeated material that others had already floated does not make him any more "real".
I agree with that statement.

It sure would be only through trial and error that Titor ever left even remotely a parallel universe in the future to end up here!
Fine. Then would you like to provide some objective evidence for how re-telling existing stories makes it more possible that these stories are real?"Just because "Titor" repeated material that others had already floated does not make him any more "real"."
I disagree with this statement.
I am not in the habit of believing anything that fictional characters claim.Rainman, I guess u'll agree with Titor, if he said an Alien Technology was used to build the Time Machine?
Just because it "made sense" does not mean he is a real time traveler. He also predicted lots of mad cow disease, and given the stories of this, that "made sense" too. Neither of these lend any credence to his being an actual time traveler.Regarding the evidence, I did Research on the Y2K in our worldline he was talking about and found that what he told made sense.
How about reading what I typed to understand what I was saying? More people than Darby have pointed out where some of Titor's themes came from existing SciFi stories. So what I was saying (again) is: Just because someone re-tells existing SciFi stories does NOT lend any more credence to them being real time travelers, even if the stories seem to "make sense".Or u say Time Traveling is not at all possible just because it contradicts your thoughts?
You are absolutely right, he could have. But he didn't. In my mind that makes it LESS likely he is a real time traveler, but instead just a lazy hoaxer who gathered-up a bunch of different stories from things he had read in the past, and tried to string them together into something that "made sense".To satisfy you, he could have created "new" stories instead of using "existing" stories. It wouldnt be difficult for a hoaxer like him to create new stories.
No I am not going to say Kerr or Tipler. I remembered incorrectly in my previous post. It was not "Paradise Lost", but "Alas Babylon". Here is the post where some of the similarities in Titor's story and "Alas Babylon" were pointed out.Which book? I am very Eager to read those books(probably u will say it is Kerr or Tipler). Please tell me the name of those books. He pulled out, how did he merge them correctly?
