September 2024

Lyndzee,
Could you give us an approximate expense to the government for a time travel trip? In other words, we know how much it costs to send up a satellite or the shuttle today. Can you tell us the minimum wage and the average household income from your time and the respective cost for the 3 missions that have happened?

We know that NASA has launched private satellites to help pay the bills. Will time travel become available in the same way to the public?

PaintHorse,

Funding for the ITI is, of course, from multiple nations. The overall budget sits around 37 billion. Each mission falls around 25 million. The federal minimum wage is currently $7.85, however individual states may be higher. Virginia follows the federal minimum wage rate.

There are no plans for use of the technology by the general public.

L,

but this does give us an opportunity to see the ins and outs, small details that have perhaps become forgotten, and how they actually effect the outcome.

Thanks for the response, but I still don't understand what benefit these 'small details' will give you and your team in 2024, are you expecting to learn something here that would allow you to influence the results of the election in your own time? /ttiforum/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Another thing that you mentioned was that you were

also collecting information regarding a foreign country

Is this regarding a threat to national security in 2024? Or is it to do with the technology regarding time travel? Perhaps it is for a more benign reason?

Your response (as always) appreciated

I do not mean to rain on your parade, but--

I am pretty certain that in OUR timeline the U.S.A will become the N.A.U, and the American government will ultimately be changed.

What is the point? A time travelor can say that he is from a different timeline, a paralel universe if you will, where your history is different in comparison to our future. If this is true then are you really time traveling? If you travel to another time line then you haven´t traveled back in time.

I do believe that this universe holds an infinite amount of realities; a reality to each thought. Like Pratchet says, "In the infinity of this Universe, if anyone can think of something, then somewhere it has to exist." This is why I take all this with a grain of salt.

I am a time traveler. I have traveled through time in this timeline. I have witnessed many things in my life, and changed the reality to those who are close to me.

I don´t get your purpose, and quite frankly you haven´t convinced me.
 
My_Time,

Oh no, we are in no way attempting to influence the election in our time by any means. To put it simply: details of history get lost in the shuffle.

I cannot give out too much information regarding the foreign country, but it does not have to do with time travel technology.

PeterPanParadox,

You raise an interesting point and it is something that we are still wrestling with in 2024. What can time travel do for us? Clearly events in history occur for the greater good and all things lead to a better tomorrow (or so we would hope is the case). In that sense, we cannot and will not use the technology we have developed to change the timeline in any way. This also leads to why we are here ourselves? What purpose do human beings have in the world? Are meant to simply live out our lives for a century and be forgotten? It is my believe that each of us must discover his or her own path and make life whatever you want it to be. In my own life I hope to further human development and that of technology as well, to create a more knowledgable and stable world for my children.

I apologize that you are "not convinced", but I am not here to convince anyone of anything. We are each entitled to our own beliefs.

Phew! 25 million is a lot of dollars for a 'few details' that were 'lost in the shuffle' :eek:

I think we can safely assume that the election has nothing to do with your 'mission' which brings us back to the 'foreign country' and the 'time travel connection'.....

If the election is your cover why mention the 'foreign country' at all?

If your investigations are regarding time travel tech and another country surely this 'other country' would be monitoring forums like this and will now be 'on to you'?

Your response (as always) appreciated

My_Time,

In comparison to other government-sponsored, the budget is actually quite small.

I think you may have misread my reply. I said that it does NOT have to do with time travel technology.

If what you say is true then you are not a time traveler, you have merely transcended through one dimensional existence to another.

I believe that one´s mind can achieve more than technology. I believe time is perception of the young mind. If mankind truly had the comprehension of time then he could look through it without using machines. Some minds get glimpse of the future, and I am going to use this term lightly; like I said earlier-- it is a perception, and it is like looking screen full of numbers; you can read them but you can´t understand them. If one truly had the comprehension of time than one would not live within the confinements of its rules. You would exist outside it and could look through it, like a looking glass. In other words you would be immortal. Those still living within these dimensions would not have evolved.

Also, you mentioned that Hilary Clinton served has President in your time-line, and truth be told we all know that is impossible within our current time-line. If you were to remain in this time-line to the point where you departed your current time-line would that not contrast with your individual time-line? Either Obama, or McCain will be elected President this time around (although I really hope it would be Ron Paul), so if you continued in this time-line could it not negate your current time-line and collapse in on itself? I think that proves me point. I think scientists of the future should be looking beyond for their answers. How could one travel in time when time is merely a perception? If all you say is true than you should be a first hand witness to this. This is a different reality, a tangent Universe. Instead of traveling in time you are transcending infiniteness.

Something for your consideration.

Kindest regards.

Sorry, my mistake, but can we agree then that the 'foreign country' aspect is not on a benign level and is an issue of national security in 2024?

Because really, 25 million IS a lot of dollars for details that have little relevence to your election and that could be got from your own time.


Your response (as always) appreciated

PeterPanParadox,

Why would you assume that it is not possible for Hillary Clinton to be president? I can assure you that she will serve two terms as President in your time.

My_Time,

While I cannot give further information, as I have said before, I can tell you that you can't put a price on development. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Please indulge me. You mention that apparently "Again (I) have given data that tells (you) I am full of it." What information would that be? I am amused that you can so easily accuse me of something but fail to elaborate.
Click to expand...

Then it is more than amusement on your end, it is also a lack of knowledge of OpSec (Operational Security). If you actually had a clearance above "Confidential" then you should not need me to "elaborate" to know that you have already broken OpSec. And you should also know that enforcement of OpSec does not necessarily have a direct relationship to the classification level of a program, even though it is true that specific OpSec techniques can and will be invoked for highly classified programs... there are still basic OpSec techniques that all field operatives abide by. And you a breaking one or more. The fact you are asking me to "elaborate" in an open forum means you are breaking two or more.

Being that Confidential is the bottom-of-the-barrel clearance, pretty much ANYTHING would be above that, no?
Click to expand...

Again, you are implying to me that you do not understand the reason that I stated my clearance in that manner. There are two basic requirements for any classified information (do you know what they are?). You are clearly not taking into account one of them. It is not incumbent upon me to refresh you with respect to OpSec procedures here in an open forum. In fact, as a DoD contractor it is not my job AT ALL to even school you on them (it should be the opposite). However, it IS my job to report OpSec breaches wherever I may run into them. This I will do in accordance with my signed SF 312 and Title 18 of the Code of Federal Regulations. It would serve you well to review Title 18 and Executive Order 12958 again, presuming you have even read them to begin with.

32. Do you have any backup plans? For example as you experiment and arrive further and further back in time and discover parallel worlds are real or if the overlapping changes through the line cause no one to recognize you at DARPA when you arrive what is your back up plan?



33.What happens if the unit malfunctions and appears somewhere in the ocean back in time? Will you survive? Do you have scuba or oxygen tanks on board? Will you even know you landed in the water since you have no windows?



34.What happens if someone steals your machine? Is this detected by the people monitoring it?
What will happen if a stole way tries to rig it to work?


35.Does your device when traveling in time have something to detect matter in the way that John's VCL did? If not what happens if someone is walking right across the area that you are "coming through" on? Or a box of something is sitting there left behind by someone?


36.Do you carry any weopons with you to protect yourself when traveling?


37.Does the pods have a specific place it appears at in the past or does it appear in a protected area such as a lab? Or do you have them come and pick you up? If that is the case how is the pod transported and does it have to be exactly in the same spot to return?


38.If you are the furthest mission back so far then how did DARPA know about you already to expect your arrival here?
 
Lyndzee,

She wont be in office 2009, and I believe the U.S. will have complete overhaul in 2010. The U.S. will cease to exist, and the N.A.U. will take place. The USD will become the Amero. By 2020, if all goes to hell, there will be a One World Government, either that or the U.S.A. you live in is in nuclear ruins. Russia doesn´t approve of the American government´s plan.

What if something were to happen and Hilary did not serve two terms as President? Wouldn´t that effect your time-line? Anything is possible at these points. This is the way things are heading at this point in time. The N.A.U. is being openly discussed. Bush has already signed documents that state that the Amero will be the currency used among Canada, Mexico, and America, much like the Euro.

A part of me doesn´t believe this simply because I want to believe that mankind will have evolved beyond all this crap by 2020.

Certain things just don´t seem to add up.

Enlighten me?
 
RainmanTime,

All I can say is your responses are laughable. Using language that others will more than likely not understand in order to try and paint a false portrait of me will not work. I know my limitations and know at which point information should not be given. Don't presume to tell me how to do my job. I do not know if this is coming from you because you feel you have some sort of inside knowledge superioir to my own, or because I am a woman in a position of power, but I will not continue with these petty arguements on who is higher up. Either way, I would come out on top. My time is better spent without your heirarchy drama.

Thank you.

L. Grummond
 
PeterPanParadox,

The idea that a country like the US would even be able to make such a change in such a short period of time is impossible. All I can say is your outlook for the future will not occur. Plain & simple. I have seen it.

L. Grummond
 
Don't let Rainman Time threaten you Lyndzee. Tell him he "doesn't have a need to know" and focus on others questions instead...like mine /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif
