Titor - Logically flawed

Truth

Temporal Novice
The parallels between the Titor story and the Terminator movies are obviously evident. For example, 3 billion die in a nuclear war, John is the name of the leader of the human resistance, and the letters from the word "Terminator" can spell "Titor."

There are obvious logical flaws in his story. For example, if he can't return to his original world line then what is the point of going on the mission in the first place?

P.s - Only the gullible or extremely time-travel-hungry still believe Titor's tale.
 
He said he could return:

The computer units and gravity sensors "record" your trip and you are quite easily able to return to your point of origin. I am aware that research is being done on faster units with more accurate clocks. I imagine that they will be able to go back farther with a higher degree of divergence confidence.

and this quote

If I go forward on this worldline, the future will not be my future. I get home by going back to 1975 before I arrived and then going forward to 2036.

Your deductions are quite accurate. Its possible to go forward to "your" 2036 and it would look nothing like mine.


He made up the name to "fit in" better. John is generic and Titor is short for "Time Traveler OR not?"?
 
Actually I think he called himself John Titor because of the name of one of the creators of the IBM 5100(The portable computer he was looking for) whos name was/is John Titus.
 
yeyeman9,

Some time ago we did consider Jon Titus as a possible source for the name John Titor. Though Jon didn't work on the IBM-5100 he did release his Mark-8 8008 based PC kit at about the same time (in 1975) that IBM released the 5100.

It could have some validity. Jon is "the father" of the home PC.
 
Here is a link to a post from someone claiming to be John Titor.

My fellow humans In less than 9 months the first signs of the civil war will rear its head.
I have come back not for a computer this time.
I came back without authorazation and at the risk of being court marshaled and imprisoned.
But in the year 2038 the year I left something awful was happening. And it was due to the civil war and the nuclear warheads. I have only a month to inform a selected few on what to do to stop this civil war. It has to be done but I can not do it. They will come after me. The military they will find me with the help of the invaders. But I have to do this. The fate of all of Earth depends on it. What is happening now makes all before the civil war, nuclear strikes, starvation look like childs play. Those who want to know the type of people im looking for and what I need of them please PM me.

I will say this the military and new government are behind this. They have let the invaders who
announced there present to the world take full control. There technology knows no limits.
Something must be done or every human being will be extinct within 2 years.

THE WHOLE DAMN RACE!! EVERY DAMN PERSON! EVERY CHILD, MOTHER , FATHER, GONE! THE FATE OF MANKIND AS A SPECIES DEPENDS ON WHAT I DO WITHIN THIS MONTH.

I will have 100% positive proof of who I say I am. Video evidence of the time travel device and of it in action. There will be no doubts this time. For if I do nothing 40 years from now the human race will be extinct. The proof will come very soon. On September the 16th
at 9:00 pm eastern standard time I will reveal the proof. Spread the word on the other forums. The proof will come in the form of a video and a prediction on North Korea. A exact date of when they will show proof of there nuclear capabilities. They will within a month but I will give the exact date. I will be in and out.
 
Well, it would seem that the following pretty much says it all with respect to this claim to be a time traveler:

date/time of post-
09/12/03 05:57 AM (68.105.252.113)

his claim for proof-
The proof will come very soon. On September the 16th
at 9:00 pm eastern standard time I will reveal the proof. Spread the word on the other forums. The proof will come in the form of a video and a prediction on North Korea. A exact date of when they will show proof of there nuclear capabilities. They will within a month but I will give the exact date.

'Nuff Said?
