time travel

Temporal Novice
I was just passing through and I found this site, so I began reading some of the comments. I will only take the time to to point out a few of the more common themes that I noticed. The first one that I would like to point out is the inevitable demand for proof by individules who claim to be travelers. When I read this I was struck by a couple of questions that I will pose here. The first is: 1)Why would any traveler if they were truly a traveler respond to a request or demand for proof when doing so would in fact jepordize their very existance? 2)Why do individules assume that they are personaly so important in the grand scheme of existance that a traveler would feel obligated to offer them the proof that they want?

The second recuring request that I noticed was the request to have "missing information from the future timeline filled in for the petitioner so that they might better understand things". I personally find this an almost laughable request. 1)The most common reason for wanting to know about future events is so that an individual might take advantage of this information for personal gain and not some altruistic purpose. 2)What makes anyone think for a moment that a traveler would be interested for a moment in the future, when it is in the past that the future lies.
 
when a time traveler makes a claim, it is just that, a claim. he can sit there and say that all day if he so chooses, but, if he wants someone to take him seriously, then the burden of proof is on him.

and no offence, but you sound like youve made a claim before. /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif

as far as the telling of future events, i ask noone for the score of the next super bowl, or the next world series. i only ask that they tell us of an uncontrollable event, like hurricane katrina for instance, as proof. i say that only to give the claimant credibility. because believing is oh so hard for me without credibility.
 
I guess it like asking Clark Kent to prove he is superman.

But then again Clark Kent isnt trying to prove he is superman.

Im sure superman is doing his thing with out anyone knowing he is Clark Kent.

Im sure from time to time you see him fly but thats all you will ever get.

Who is Lex should be the question?
