noob q: how to prove it
- Thread starter reor
- Start date
Ultimately by sending information back through time. It can be a prediction of a specific future event, technology from the future, innate knowledge not available in the present or the presentation of extraordinary information such as the solution to a 1000 digit math problem. If the only logical explanation for this is "because of time travel", then you have a legitimate claim, but the explanation must stand the acid test as well- provability over time, concurrence of evidence and the like.
The other way to prove you're a time traveler is the way Nostradamus did it- by predicting vague references to future events consistently. But even then it needs to pass scrutiny- the jury's still not out on Nostradamus and it's been over 400 years.

The bane of the paranormal is ending up explaining one unknown in terms of another unknown, in which case you haven't gotten anywhere.
I think you might have to bring back an actual object from the future. The problem with information alone, even valid predictions, is that someone could insist that remote viewing, not time travel was involved.I still think that some of the Titor predictions were made from remote viewing session information. :D

Predicting events is no proof. You might even just "guess" things. It's a matter of probability, but you get my point. I don't know the "acid test".
Let's assume it's possible, but not freely available in terms of "moving freely" in time. Might as well be dangerous (for your health, the universe, ...it's a risk) or you have to make sure certain people won't be able to find out it's possible. Yeah yeah conspiracy, whatever, there are mean people who just like to sabotage. Let's say you can go back in time, but you're still bound to the timeline. There might be more restrictions.

I think it is ultimately impossible to fully "prove" time travel without experiencing it oneself.
Outside of that, the most anyone can reasonably hope for is to prove that someone possesses genuine knowledge of future events. But all that proves is that one person sees farther than others do, not how that ability was attained.
