message from your future

The problem with most people that visit these sites is that they are so busy trying to prove that someone is not talking to them from the future that they are discouraging possible contacts from the future.

Keep in mind that someone who is able to communicate with you from the future have a lot less to gain than for you to talk to someone from the future.

Also keep in mind that the moment this kind of technology becomes available it will be regulated by the government and restricted for the use of academic researchers affiliated to government programs.

These researchers will have to be very careful when communicating accross time lines as to not mess with their own past. So trying to test them and get info out of them from the future is a stupid idea.

You may very well find (for example) that someone writing a psychology paper in the future, may be doing a study on say "the facination of internet users, from the previous decade, with time travel and communication accross time lines".

Such a researcher may very well not be interested in proving anything to you and being from say a psychology background may not even understand the technolgy involved in the process but may simply be a user of the technolgy.

How will you spot this researcher?

How will you get his attention?

How can you make a contribution to the future knowledge base of past behaviour, facination and fears surrounding time travel and the communication accross time lines?

Anyone who claims to be a time-traveller is going to have to prove it. It's foolish to believe anyone who comes along claiming they're from the future. Hell, I could say that I was from 2065... but if I want anyone to believe me, I better come up with some proof.
 
Can I ask them if they've seen any good movies lately? Comedies comes to mind. I have one in mind I'd like to know if it will get made into a movie? Can you guys tell me that much? Can you list some of the movies that they will be making for us to see in the next two to three years?
 
That's the contradiction -- time travelers seem to be bound by a Star Trek-esque "Prime Directive". They can't give any info specific enough to prove that they're from the future, so they hope that people will assume they're from the future.

Logically, any supposed time-traveler that does this is NOT a time-traveler. If you were going to travel back in time and you wanted to let people know about it, you would give proof. It's a situation with two clear choices:

1) You're a time-traveler who has come back. You intend to never let anyone know you're a time-traveler, so you never tell anyone.

2) You're a time-traveler who has come back. You intend to let people know you're from the future -- without any sort of proof, they wouldn't believe you were from the future, so what's the point?

Now, there's a third option, which many of the supposed "time-travelers" follow. It's basically "I'm a time-traveler from the future. My rules allow me to tell you I am, but not show you any proof. So you'll basically have to believe everything I say on pure faith alone. Thanks!"

It's entirely illogical, and obviously not true.

Or you can just do what Titor did -- make some predictions and claims that are a few years off, and then bail out after a couple months. You'll be long gone when it's supposed to happen. (Don't forget to add deniability -- worldlines work well.)
 
I agree with everything you've just said. If Anything the multiple timelines/wordlines theory proves that if Time Travelers exist they Cannot cause ANY harm by telling us the future. After all, ALL futures are possible and in some deminsion happen, all choices and all outcomes happen, according to this theory.

Therefore it is utterly pointless to Reveal yourself as a time traveler and Not disclose information about our possible futures. Even if someone were to just tell me Their future and say its probably going to be diff than mine, at least I should be able to find some parallels.

I now have a set of questions I will propose to any time traveler as a sort of basic test. So far the bogus Time Traveler I talked to answered them so foolishly I would swear he's still in high school.
 
I hate when people mention worldlines or timelines, or demensions.

They are a product of human psyce.

TOO MANY DRUGS! your mother smoked crack with you in the womb and damaged your brain, i know mine did.

before drugs there was life, aftetr drugs there is life on other planets and different worlds to travel to inside your mind.



HERE IS MY POINT

God is being that made us all up in his head to live his fantasies. we are all tools of creatino living out a pointless life cause no one here has the balls to change the course of exsistance. everything around you is pointing in one direction. Everything that you see points to Death and damnation, but you still do it. Im not religious, but i have a brain, and i know that the world as a whole is bunch of greedy assholes looking for a way to ruin others around them.

GIVE WAR A CHANCE WE HAVE FOR 10,000 years. and look where it landed us
in an over producing materialistic socitey that gets off on how fast a machine will hurdle them through space and time.
 
If you were a time traveller from the future, why would you want to convince anyone? why would you come to this website to let anyone know? The answer is that you wouldn't, because you would be too busy trying to fulfill your mission than to humour a forum about time travel.

That is one of the biggest reasons that nobody believes them, because it doesn't make any sense. Also, their stories are usually full of holes and obviously don't make any sense, that is proof enough that they are false (see Chronohistorian).
 
TIme travel or no time travel, people are just filling life with fantasy. wtf would you even do in the past. if you could travel through tim eyou could make your life perfect, and that is no fun.

TIme travel sort of dispells the reason for living.

if you knew you could control your fate, why even waste your time. hell even if you cant time travle you are in full control of your destiny. what do you really want to do with your life. that all time travel is. see wher ey;ou end up in the future. save lives, create chaos, you dont needd to travel in time to do those things.

do them now.



DONT DREAM! DO!
 
Firstly hello everyone I'm new here...
To the topic in hand. I try to imagine what i would do if i were a time traveller, i come to this time, I log on to ths forum, not sure why, and I tell everyone about it. Erm. I can't understand why I would do such a thing, unless I wished to use what little power I felt I possessed, over these 'oldies', and to do that I would certainly have very little self esteem. Unless i was involved in some experiment, revealing my existence would be a little unfortunate. Anyone have any other ideas why a time traveller would reveal themselves, identity, to us?
 
instead of traveling in time, i say we all gather for the upcoming comet destroying the planet gathering and drink the special kool aid.
 
Malcolm, I have come to the conclusion there is only 1 true reason a Time Traveler would reveal themselves, and that is to also reveal information about our future which we should change. Point us into a direction we should be going to avoid some future catastrophe.

Other than that, we are talking Teens-Mid twenty year olds with no life, nothing better to do, and the illusion of anonymity on the Internet. It becomes more of a Fantasy Role Playing game. Checking the messages, replying to questions, I would assume you get a Lot of attention claiming to be a Time Traveler. They would also have some Interest in Time Travel, otherwise why bother coming here. They use the stories they know, movies they've seen, watched back to the future twice and read the johntitor.com website and figure they know everything there is to know about Time Travel.

I for one don't think just Anyone can BE a time traveler, just assuming we create such a device in the future its either going to be some old Geezer in his workshop with sole possession of his prize. Or some government funded agency. If its from the Government no doubt its top secret, highly classified, eyes only, there would be training involved, all sorts of mental and physical tests. Not to mention some form of an IQ test for intelligence.

Which is why I advocate the taking of an IQ test as well as lets say 20 Standard questions we propose to ALL those who claim to be time travelers. A Real Time Traveler would more than likely have a high IQ, be able to answer any and all questions proposed to them, and not have obvious gaps in their story.

Anybody have any ideas what types of questions should be asked? I prefer fundamental physics/universe questions as there is no way to fake an answer. My favorite thus far has been "What is the current state of the Red shift phase for the universe." any other ideas?

I like Darby's idea, which entails asking the person to perform a simple derivative of an algebraic function. That should stop most posers dead in their tracks. If not, then I suggest we move into integrals and higher calculus.
