Someone please explain this.
Let's say I am from the year 2035. I travel back in time to the year 2000, before the elections.
For the sake of this argument, I dont know if TTI was online, but let's say yes.
I come here, I post. I tell you that Bush will win, and about the Florida "hanging chads." I go on to tell you about 9/11. Not in great detail, but enough to blow you away when it happens. I tell you smaller yet just as enticing news stories, like Scott Peterson, certain popular movies, janet jackson at the superbowl.....things of this nature. Hurrican Katrina, the tsunami.....
I leave, and go back to 2035.
Let's say I was born in 2002.
By 2006, news of me on your forum has become famous. All of my postings actually came to pass. Of course, a trace was put on my IP, a search for me was underway-and it's hard to accuse me of being a terriorist in the know about 9/11, because I also knew of things that in no way could I have been involved with. So it was shown, not physically, but anedotally thru my postings, that either I truly am a time traveler, or have some remarkable psychic ablities.
John Titor pales in comparison to my posts, and this forum becomes famous. It is debated, argued, gets off the net into "real" culture-everyone is talking about the "posts from the future" and people from all over set out to either find me and prove my exsistance, or to accuse you all of doctoring posts to make it look like from the future.
In any event, some believe, some don't, but I am famous as a result, as is your forum-and this also invites people from all over to try and "write the future". But it seems to become accepted that I mustve been from the future to know in such great detail events to come.
After I post, I leave immediatly to go back to 2035-so, I am never found. What remains is only the location I posted from. Lets say I used a proxy so the actual computer could not be found-or it was a laptop, I was on wifi and I simply took it back with me.
Now, I am back in 2035, and I am 33 years old. BUT......wouldn't this mean, that I grew up knowing about this story? That in my time, 2035, I saw the consequences, knew of a person that went back in time, that I grew up learning and knowing about this. How could I then not know it was me that did it? Would I grow up to have my parents tell me that it was me? How could we all sit around, and I listen to my parents discuss this story at dinner-yet they had no idea it was me, either?
Would I show up for work as an adult one day for the govt and be told "Okay, you are going back into time to become this poster on that site, it was you?" How would they know it was me?
What if I decided NOT to do it, exerting free will? Logic would dictate then that they either a) found someone else, or b) it would create a "butterfly effect" type of reality where it was erased from the collective memory, because it didn't happen.
My head spins from all the contradictions........
