Taking Reservations for Travel in my Time Machine!

You read correctly. The TIME has come to bust this board wide open! I hope Raul has secured enough bandwidth because people are going to be hitting on this website like crazy once I let this CAT out of the bag!

I've been puttering around in the garage, working on the Merkaba Project. At first I had some trouble integrating the laser gyro stabilization package to the time/event horizon sensor. There was a big phase lag between their inputs and it was making my tensor algorithm divide by zero! /ttiforum/images/graemlins/ooo.gif That's when I realized I had the "+" and "-" signal wires crossed coming out of the power supply. Once I swapped the wires and switched it on I immediately saw the microsingularity form right in front of my eyes!

Yes, I am now ready to formally announce to the world that I have succeeded in reverse-engineering John Titor's GE Time Displacement Unit from nothing more than the pictures and pages of the manual that John provided.

I performed my first "live" experiment just yesterday. I sent my dog through the event horizon and told him to bring back a paper, preferably the LA Times as I really think the NY Times is a bit too liberal-leaning for my tastes. It seemed like less than a microsecond after Chili Dawg went through the event horizon when he was already coming back out! And not only did he bring the paper, but he brought me a 6 pack of my favorite beer (St. Pauli Girl).

Yep, those Golden Retrievers sure are smart!

Anyway, I am now ready to transport humans. I won't be the first to go, mostly because I am so selfless about these things. I want other people to get the glory. So I am taking reservations for the very first human to travel through Time via my reverse-engineered GDTU. Don't worry, it works just fine...I have run exhaustive testing on it (well, as exhaustive as you can get in a period of two days).

Of course, since this is the first device the cost of your trip is going to be a bit steep. But the price will come down as more are built and market economics drives price stabilization. But for right now I am going to need to charge a nominal fare of $50 million (One Way).

Now before everyone starts whining and complaining, might I point out to you that Russia was charging people $20 million JUST for going up to the ISS!!! So $50M is really quite a bargain considering you will be traveling through Time!

You can PM me you credit information if you are serious!

Hey Ray!
What if I put $200 in a long term deposit and you sent me let's say, 500 years into the future? ... so I could make a withdrawal of the mega billions that would have accumulated from my humble investment and I can pay ya from that?
I’ll only be gone for one second from your point of veiw! Damn it! …. I’ll even bring back a six pack of that "St. Pauli Girl" that you like as well!

But we've gotta stick with the "cash talks, BS walks" motto this Time. Ya see, our recently departed friend Qronos16 told us the stock market would completely crash in our future. So you see I cannot count on tomorrow's interest accrual given the kind of world Qronos16 said we were headed for! Those parts I needed for this time machine were EXPENSIVE man! /ttiforum/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

My dog is highly trained in this department, so I am good on that score. No cash, no dash (through Time)!

New/Improved RMT, now in living color! (NOT spelled with a "u").
 
Send me into the past. I can setup a trust fund in your name. The second I go through, you go to the bank and there it will be. Also, once I reach the past, I can accumulate antiques and artifacts and bury them in a secure location. I will bury you Action Comics #1, which I can buy for a nickel, and you can sell for $25,000. It would be trivial to bury enough antiques of this nature that would easily yield you the $50 million you need. So, when do I get to go?

Why does everyone expect a free ride? Look, I don't know you from Adam, so what would make me believe that I could trust you? Sure... you tell me all this, but once I transfer you back to the past, who's the sucker? You don't have to do a thing, and I have no evidence that you would do what you said. But that is only the half of it... even if you DID do what you said you would do, there are "infinite" number of things that could still conspire against your actions such that I would never realize the $50M for providing my service. Yes, anyone could come along and find your "secure location" and get all the booty that was meant for me.

Sorry... I am a firm believer in cash payment for delivery of services, especially in this case! The risks for me are much too great.

Well, provide some proof of service. As a customer, I need some sort of protection on my investment. Pictures of your time machine. Testimonials. Pictures of you in the past or the future. I get more assurance on my purchase at a McDonalds than you are offering. You're doing a very bad job as a salesman here.

What, John Titor's pictures not good enough for you? All you need to convince you was provided by Mr. Titor (or so we would be lead to believe). I simply, faithfully reverse-engineered the product he used. However, I couldn't find the exact same type of mulitary cabinet/container that his unit used... so mine does look a little different. I'll work on getting a picture of it for ya...
Testimonials.

OK, so if I have OJ Simpson standing next to my GTDU saying something like "whenever I have to escape the cops and avoid being convicted of murder, I use Ray Hudson's reverse-engineered GTDU. It gets me where I need to be!"... then you'll be convinced? OK, I'll go find OJ and work on it... I am sure he is on a golf course somewhere still searching for the real killers! /ttiforum/images/graemlins/yum.gif

Well, that would make perfect sense... because you see I am an engineer, not a salesman. My job was to make it work. Perhaps if I package the trip through time with a large order of fries and a chocolate milkshake, that will make you happy (a happy meal to go with your happy trip)?

New/Improved RMT, now without the musty smell!
 
OJ isn't exactly a reliable testimony. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/yum.gif

All I was saying, is you're not even trying. "I have a time machine. Give me $50,000,000."

That's alot of money. As you said you can't just trust me, I can't just trust you. And since you initiated this venture, the responsibility to bridge the gap between consumer and producer is on your shoulders. If you can convince me you can actually follow through, then we'll have a dialogue and can start to have a business relationship.

You may have a valid point there. You could always ask my dog. Golden retrievers are known for their loyalty and honesty. He wouldn't lie like OJ might lie.

OK, so perhaps I can add to the marketing materials a bit: "This offer for a limited Time only. Prices subject to change without notice." Does that help at all? /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Titor wasn't convincing enough for you? I keep pointing out that I am not the businessman...just the engineer. If I had to hire a marketing and sales staff, my price would have to go up to $80M or more... and I'd have to carry health insurance for everyone on my payroll, give them holidays off, listen to their whining about why they deserve a raise.... It's all a bit too much for me, I'm just an engineer. I make things work. It's what I do. Don't ask me to do those things that people do who cannot hack getting a "real" degree. :D

What "relationship"? This is a one-shot deal. I just need enough to buy that private island I've had my eye on, and then I plan to sell-out the business to Bill Gates. Let him pay all the marketeers! /ttiforum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

New/Improved RMT, now with the flavor of real bacon!
 
he is right about it rainmantime because what is the picture of the future and past of it...where is your time travel machine?? you don't have one yet so far why should we believe you if you have a real time travel machine...you may have a HDR UNIT hahahaah write back. :D

I dont know about that, Ray. "Duke" has been trying to sell off the secret recipe for Beans for quite some time. So I wouldnt trust the dog...does the pup know how to place ads on E-Bay ? I' d definitely keep a watch on the dog.

On a serious note, I remember you bringing those drawings and calculations when you gave me the tour of where you teach that aerospace propulsion systems class. I guess you worked out the problem with that professor in utilizing his labs at the University, eh?

Glad to see you are getting everything assembled. Is that chart of harmonics and color frequency I gave you providing any help ?

I almost have the sound frequencies worked out, just need to make some final adjustments, but didnt know you were this far along with the completion of your 'little' project as discussed in the last few months.

Will expand on those other 'translations' of 'that' ancient text via our other route of communication...the "prying eyes" thing, you know?

Hope you use the device wisely, my friend.

Rainman, why don't you do a public demonstration and show ppl if this really works or not. I think if people see this, they would be interested for sure!~ /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Re: Taking Reservations for Travel in my Time Mach

Merkaba Project?

I see that someone here simply must have too much "Time" on their hands!
 
Re: Taking Reservations for Travel in my Time Mach

Has this been tested on animals other than your Dog?

The Humane society and animal shelters would like to know....
Hs this been tested on chimps then humans? is it safe? /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
Re: Taking Reservations for Travel in my Time Mach

I would sincerely hope that you do, at some point in the future, initiate a "Merkaba Project" Ray
!

As regards for this "Phase" of the porject. I think, what we should do is this;

As it is your project and you have invested so much time and energy already, you should use it first. I am not a selfish man either! If you come back and your body doesnt look like someone has hastily shoved it through a meat grinder, then i shall follow your lead...

If you also give me the schemetics and send me to the past, i will then sell them to the govern.....er, i mean take them back to your past self, So you might finish the poject even sooner then you had.

When your dog returned (with the 'GR' pet voice microchip)....He didn't come back stained in human blood babbling something about a civil war by any chance, did he?

Ummmm, hey. How did you know I am really a Lizarian and not the human known as Ray? No one's supposed to know about that. How did you find out?

No. Budget constraints being what they are, I can't afford intermediate steps. My dog came back OK, so it's time to jump right to a human.

Oh it's safe. Trust me, it's safe. I'm an aerospace engineer for God's sake... you can't expect that I would allow any human to get into a vehicle that wasn't safe, would you?
