I am personally involved with a unique time travel machine design here in the UK. It is in its early stages, but when the publicity starts it will create quite a stir in the scientific community. It utilises a theory that is well within the possibilty of current engineering and does not fall into the 'popular science' nonsense model. It is a serious design undertaking using current engineering methods, although they will (obviously) be used in an as-yet untested way. A new website is being set up now to attract funding for the early design and material testing. just thought I'd put this on here for those of you who are interested. leave personal links for me if you like, and I will put them onto a newsletter listing which is being set up now. This is no 'pie-in-the-sky' scheme, although some secrecy is involved; but I have the necessary approval to publish some of the design criteria within the scientific community. I can't wait for their reaction!

I can't seem to find the right word to describe this.
It's an almost perfect example of it,though. They did forget to say that it wasn't a scam.

Bring out the science & engineering and let people with appropriate training judge it on its own merits.

Here we go again...
In case you did not realize it, the entire Titor story is purposefully constructed to be unfalsifiable. NO ONE, regardless of whether they have "appropriate training" can neither prove nor disprove the story. That was the whole "plot tactic" behind the story to begin with. Even someone without my training can see that.
So please...no excuses. There are plenty of people around here with more than "appropriate training" in science and engineering to know if what you are proposing has a snowball's chance in hell of being something other than a scam.
But I must say, this response of yours already has me leaning towards the scam conclusion. Only you can help avoid the inevitable by being up-front.

These forums are quite sad places really. On the few I've had a look in on, they are generally very negative. I can't quite see why you think I'm scamming, I haven't asked you for any money. All I've offered is to put names of interested parties on an email list so that I can send them further information. Oh and you have training do you? please enlighten me, I could use a laugh.

All you need to do is review the litany of "time travelers" that we have endured over the years. We are tired of the window dressings (and your posts so far are nothing but window dressings).
You have also not provided any form of technical substantiation (or even discussion thereof) to support your bold claim. Figure it out.
Indeed that is all you have offered. And apparantly you believe that culling email addresses never leads to scamming? Is that what you are inferring?
Is this the same guy who, not 3 sentences ago, was deriding the "negative" nature of these forums? Nice to see you are hypocritical as well. I wonder how long you will last here?
Now that the obligatory posturing is over, do you ever plan to share even a shred of the science you think permits your new venture? Do you plan to publish any peer-reviewed papers on it?

I'm not out to survive on here at all, wouldn't want to. I wonder why you're on here though. Apart from being a 'Mr Angry'. You obviously don't share a dream or imterest of what this forum is representing - a 'discussion' on the current theories of Time Travel. You're missing out pal. The other forums are much friendlier and open minded. Go vent your spleen elsewhere or grow up.

now we know what the b stands for... and it rhymes with richy. was waiting all day to wake up and say that one... /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif
why dont you take a second to scan some of the time travel claims and realize that your saying the same thing pretty much all good kooks do. people around here know how to spot the b.s. a mile away. we have had alot of practice.
the whole, "im not going to tell you anything, cause you guys dont deserve it" mentality just dont fly. if you have something thats real, well there is a real easy way to make us shut up and eat our words...

I still maintain that this is a genuine design. I'm doing the 3D CAD modelling for a team who are working on a time machine design. The mathematics isn't my forte but the dimensional characteristics of the components they are manufacturing for testing are. I'm drawing up cylindrical prototypes based on an updated concept of the Van Stockum Cylinder. The details involve references to causality violation geodesics. I'm currently detailing a superconducting filament which will link a rotating cylinder to measuring equipment. There are thousands of these filaments needed, but at the moment they want to manufacture one, to test its electromagnetic properties. Can we stop the slanging and I might consider giving more information as it happens. For the benefit and interest of everyone.

I see. Yet you came. But just to use this forum as a free means to advertise your warez and fundraising activities?
It has been expounded on here, in several threads, many times. And my answer never changes.
Interesting that you read anger into my posts, especially when it is not there. I thought I was addressing your points matter-of-factly. Perhaps more of these might help? /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif
My dream is to educate as many people as I can about what constitutes "good science", and one strategy in this dream is to point out, wherever it raises its head, "bad science" which can also be recognized by its other name "disingenuous viral marketing".
Consider myself advised. Thanks for your concern. If only you knew what I worked on and how much you are missing out on. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
So "open-minded" that their brains fall out? Yes, I know such forums.
I have a grown-up job (two, actually) with grown-up responsibilities. Can you say as much?

I'm 55 years old, I parent and grandparent. I'm semi retired now and working on the project as detailed above. I have a lifetime background in Physics and Quantum mechanics. Currently I am working for an Agency supplying 3D CAD Engineering Modelling expertise to a private company which is currently gaining sponsorship for the project in question. I am limited to what I can reveal, but my limited personal expertise in this particular design theory leads me to believe that this is a very exiting development in the sphere of potential time travel. The claims by the company are realistic interms of their research and potential. It is in short revolutionary. And I am proud to be involved with it while I am still adept enough to cope with the work requested of me, for which I am being paid well.

Thanks for the bio. Honestly. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Given that I am an aerospace engineer (and professor of same) with 28 years of experience in the field, I would like to be the judge of that. Is there somewhere I can go to read these claims and understand the scientific underpinnings that allegedly support them?
You are more than welcome here, and no offense is intended. But you need to understand there are plenty of childish attempts that we deal with here. And until we see "the meat" I think you can hardly blame us for being skeptical. Agreed? When/if a website describing the claims, the theory, and the specific science behind the claims becomes available, you are free to post it here for all to review. But if you have ever been involved in any form of professional peer review in the science and engineering worlds, then I suspect you should expect a very harsh (and brutally honest) level of inquiry and challenge to said claims. It is what keeps real science sequestered off from crackpottery. :D

I was, in later years involved in the analysis of particle/wave computer modelling. 3D computer software design for Quantum Analysis was/is my 'expertise'.This is the last post I shall make. On another forum, there are others who did similar work who are far more interesting to link with.
Good luck with your bickering.
