Did you know about Yves Lámek?

The girl that supossed sell the IBM 5100 to John @ 14-05-1975...

when the time operatives reached him...

and he activated a remote time travel device and jump to the year 2000, but Yves get panicked when see the bright light and run to John...
but she was transported to the year 2006 in Paris, France...

Then she start a blog using the name "syous titor timetraveler",
and post in Spanish...

Ps1:
sombody codename: "Ethan Titor" said that "John try to fix that and return Yves to 1975."

Re: Yet another time traveling claim

Pamela,

About E=mc2. John mentioned this as well that the same formula can be solved for mass.

Of course the equation (because it is an "equation") can be solved for mass.

Divide both sides of the equation by "c^2", cancel "c^2" on the right side (mc^2/c^2 = m) and you have:

E/c^2 = m

Titor didn't expose any new information. What he stated is explicit in the original equation.

You can also solve for "c".

Divide both sides of the equation by "m" and take the square root of both sides:

Sqrt(E/m) = sqrt(c^2) = sqrt (E/m) = c

You've already solved for "E" in the original equation.

 
Re: Yet another time traveling claim

>>So why don't you expand your equation c=mE^2 and show the underlying proof.<<

It's Kaku's equasion, not mine. I am a layman talking to a physicist, I could never fully explain the simplest of concepts to you- I don't even know what all those letters in math formulas mean no less who came up with it first. I am really starting to believe you're here waiting for a time traveler to win you a Nobel Prize. Can you give me one absolute state in the entire universe?

>>Hillary is hungry for power and I believe her lust for power will divide America apart even further then Hier Bush has.<<

Hillary Clinton is not the person everyone loves to hate. Personally I do not like her but "liking someone" is not a prerequisite for being an effective President. Everyone liked Bush right after 9/11. At the same time, Bush won't be seen as a monster by history- he'll be more like "the last of the old guard"- his speech tomorrow should be a real humdinger.

>>A ball is not a living object though. A balls atoms are not constantly changing or being renewed. Have you discovered where exactly the atoms go and come from when they are popping in and out of existance on an atomic scale?<<

Darby will have to give you the answer on that one- when you seperate a pair of atoms then reverse the charge of one of them and the other changes regardless of distance... that's that called?

>>I don't see where you mentioned it turning into energy or anything or having a hugh explosion. You just say it faded out. This does not prove it ceases to exist just that it ceases to exist here.<<

Considering there's only one tangable universe, where else could it go but nowhere? Another random part of the universe? Perhaps, but regardless that's somewhere I don't want to be.

>>With the black hole forming on the Earth. Are you saying if you stayed until zero hour with your otherself and created a blackhole you would destroy our Earth and Moon?<<

Yes. But considering I am 62 and have terminal cancer, it's highly unlikely I'll survive the next 37 years. "Zero Hour" is a popular film in 2044 based on real science where someone does just that. You'll all have wait for the movie to see how it ends- the lead actor hasn't even been born yet!

>>Risata asked the question what would happen if you died. But I will ask what will happen to you if your younger self dies tomorrow?<<

I am from the future, not from a parallel universe. If the 24 year old me died tomorrow, he would have never lived to 62 to see himself go into a time machine to become me; I would not be here writing this now. The only way he could die tomorrow is by something inadvertently done by me here and now to cause his death. Were such a thing to happen, we would both cease to be alive: he'd be dead and I would disappear.

>>Do you have a first name we can call you by?<<

I assumed the name "Jon Titor" to be clever, but everyone here seems to call me Titorian which suits me fine. Thanks for asking.
 
Re: Yet another time traveling claim

Titorian,

Okay. But here's the problem with that. They would find your ID and claim that you are impersonating someone else (identity theft.) However, you are dead. So in order to ascertain who you really are, they will run a DNA test. Now, let's say your younger self is for whatever reason, in a DNA data bank. Now, I am sure you will claim this not to be true, however, lets pretend there's another time traveler such as yourself where that wasn't the case. Just humor me here-because if you are the older version, your dna and your younger self's dna would be IDENTICAL.

Why would you risk this? Also consider even if it didn't go that far-let's say, you were hit by a bus and lived. But were unconscious and rushed to hospital. They find your ID, look up your number, can't find you listed, but find a number of people sharing your name. Fine. Why would you be so quick to assume that anyone would think identity theft of your younger self? You said you were far away. There could be 60 people in Florida alone with your same first and last name. So I find it odd that you would say that they would figure you stole your younger self's identity.

Furthermore, if they did happen to call your younger self, and he became aware of you period, wouldn't that cause a "butterfly effect?" He might not think it was him, just someone with his name. But it would stand in his memory. So, that means when you go back, you'd know that something mustve happened in that time period to you, because you have the memory of knowing that someone sharing your name was in an accident.....do you see what I am saying? Your comments, please. Make sense of these paradoxes?

A full explanation isn't necessary. You posed the equation thus its yours to defend. Why don't you just give it your best shot?

I don't think that the Nobel Committee is going to be rewarding any prizes based on a really bad "permutation" of a 102 year old equation for which they didn't award the original author a Nobel.

BTW: When does Dr. Kaku switch professional emphasis from string theory/high energy physis (HEP) to general relativity?

(Hmmm...I know that Pamela has his email address. I have his email address and a phone number. Why not? He's responded in the past...even moderated his own BBS.)

Hmmm...an absolute state. California? Nevada?


Seriously, what do you mean by an "absolute state"?
 
Titorian, could you please state in as much detail as possible the mechanics of/and way your time machine works to the best of your knowledge? You said something about gravitomagnetism? Also, what is the state of cryonics (human cryopreservation) in the 2040's? Has anyone been revived yet? Is Alcor and/or the Cryonics Institute still in existence? What if any advances in the science of cryonics, such as vitrification or cellular cryoprotectants, can you tell me? Any information on suspended animation (not as it pertains to space travel but instead cryonics)? What of nanotechnology/molecular biology/cryobiology, how far have these sciences come by your time (the 2040's)? Thanks in advance for answering, this is very interesting.
 
Re: Yet another time traveling claim

Does CERN discover micro-blackholes with their new accelerator in 2007/2008?

If not ...do they discover ANYTHING of interest?
 
Re: Yet another time traveling claim

Pamela,

They won't discover anything with the LHC in 2007. They plan to fire it up at very low power this spring for 6-8 weeks of preliminary equipment testing and start full power shake downs in 2008. It looks like they won't be ready for experimental use until sometime in 2009.
 
Re: Yet another time traveling claim

Hi Pamela, I was wondering, if you don't mind, could you explain these 'strange' (email) experiences that people had? I've never seen 'The Traingle' so I have no frame of reference for what you are talking about. I am curious though. Thanks.
 
Re: Yet another time traveling claim

Oh boy, I get all analytical and *poof* causality.

Well this means two things:

1. He WAS real, and now he's "dust in the wind"
2. TIME TO BUY SOME STOCK IN MY ABOVE POST!!!!
 
Re: Yet another time traveling claim

Risata- There are millions of people living in the USA illegally: people with no real ID or copies of other people's. Most of them are Mexican immigrants but there are over a million others.

America is ultimately a country of 50 states governed by the federal government- any American is free to pick up and move to any other state and establish an identity. I can do all of that except for photo ID- I can't pass for a 24 year old!

I obtained copies of my birth certificate and Social Security cards to open accounts which in turn got me debit cards which in turn got me credit cards which in turn gets me club memberships and assigned parking spaces. As long as the bills are paid, they really don't care who is charging.

I only run into problems on the Federal level- like if I wanted to buy a house: the bank gets involved, they run a credit check on me and I'm busted. Even if I paid cash, that amount of money would set off alarms. $10,000 is the transaction limit before the feds get involved so I make a lot of little purchases which is why stocks are the perfect thing to invest in.

Now if I got run over by a bus tomorrow, they'd look in my wallet and see my ID, my SS#, by club memberships, credit cards, debit cards, cash and my emergency contact info for my private doctor- at no point would I be a John Doe; in no case is it neccesary to take my DNA.

And even if they did, there is no "federal DNA database"... they don't put your DNA in and a name pops out- even in 2044 that technology does not exist... if for no other reason than it's Big Brother you're talking about... in 2044 there are many more Federal Privacy Laws than there are now.

Regardless, even if they still took my DNA (and somehow had my younger self's DNA "on file" somewhere and made the link somehow)- there's no way to get a 100% match from a DNA test from an identical 24 and 62 year old- my DNA is much more mutated than my younger self's- at best they'd conclude we were some sorta "distant relative" or something. DNA tests look at less than 1% of a person's actual DNA strands, you know...

The only DNA that is identical regardless of age is spinal and cerebral DNA, and to a lesser degree fingernails and hair, and even mitrochondrial DNA ages with time.

&gt;&gt;Furthermore, if they did happen to call your younger self, and he became aware of you period, wouldn't that cause a "butterfly effect?"&lt;&lt;

This is a good question- it also answers many of Pamela's and Darby's. I cannot directly affect my other, younger self. If I do, I will instantly pop out of existence. If I sent my other self an email (which I am currently able to do), the moment he opened it, I would pop out of existence. Why? Because I cannot directly affect myself. This is why the older soccer ball never reached the younger soccer ball- because B cannot come before A. This opens the door to wackyness, but this is what C=ME2 is all about... it's first person physics.

Ignore the universe around you. It exists; it's a given... it unquantifiable and only concentrate on one object. The goal is to control this one object above a Heisenberg threshold, not the universe at large. This means two things: control everything OUTSIDE this space and everything INSIDE this space. In other words, build a wall.

What's this wall made of? Acceleration. What is acceleration? It's everything around you. Everything that exists complies with the Cosmic Background Radiation caused by the Big Bang. In other words, the Big Bang happened and everything in the universe is a result of the Big Bang.
"Everything" is little packets of acceleration. They break down into two general classes: "mass" and "energy".

Within mass are different states- (solid, liquid, gas), different densities and different atomic weights. Within energy is the Electromagnetic Spectrum, from radio to gamma. All told, the universe is E=MC2: it's matter and energy interacting to give us the tangable universe we exist in. The only thing classical physics cannot do is unify the four fundamental forces (and you've had 102 years to do it) and that is due to "the wrong perspective" (which is why math never proves anything- it only makes more math). But underlying this is the fact that everything, everywhere is made of acceleration (which is why there is no "absolute state" in the universe).

Now the universe is E=MC2 but everything within the universe is C=ME2... everything in the universe is "a universe onto itself". Everything in the universe is a THING, which means it's possible to quantify any one THING in the universe- provided you use "the rest of the universe" as a resource to quantify "that THING"... beyond a Hensenberg threshold for a Planck Unit... this is why A bombs go off.

This is where the mechanics of C=ME2 come into play- if you can quantify (or control) one field (meaning, put up a wall between this field and the rest of the universe), you can manipulate acceleration and in the process travel time and that is how the Branson time machine works: it's a ratio of electromagnetism (energy) and centrifigul forces (mass).

When the correct ratio is reached (the "Coca-Cola recipe"), it's possible to send THINGS (like me) through time, provided the time you're sent to must be "more logical" than the place you're sent from- this is where the "landing base" come in... you "land in a place you're expected to land in".

And also provided you have enough energy to actually send this information (The Branson Foundation is the largest energy conglomerate in the USA). This is why Branson won the "contest"- because they had the money and they had the energy.

I exist in a time I shouldn't now simply because there is no logical explanation for my being here now. If you wrote out my lifetime on a timetable, it would have to "loop back" at some point for it to make sense. This is because of E=MC2- because since I exist WITHIN the universe interacting as a part of the universe that "my life's story" has to make sequential sense.

But it does not because of C=ME2: because it's possible to create shells that can exist seperate from acceleration and move within them... that can travel through time with enough energy. I hope this makes sense to you all because that's how it works- you can't control the universe but you can control a part of it to the point of where it seperates from the universe only to rejoin the universe at an earlier point in time.

The only drawback to this is causality. My body is made of atoms and all of those atoms currently exist somewhere else on the planet right now... my being here adds extra atoms to this planet. In the largest sense, this throws equilibrium off. So whenever one of my atoms meets its other younger, idential atom, my atom cancels itself out. Why? Because I don't belong here now.

As such, to continue existing within this E=MC2 universe, none of my atoms can interact with any of their identical counterparts.

Now most of the atoms in my body are renewable- as Pamela pointed out, "you're a new you" every few years apart from the spinal column and nervous system. This is why I cannot touch my other, younger self: because if I tried to do that, my atoms would cancel themselves out, I'd decorporealize like a ghost.

As such, "my atoms are along for the ride" in a time they shouldn't exist in. My atoms don't mind being here- they're millions of years old- this 38 year leap is a hiccup in their life as an atom. They only run into a problem if they encounter their duplicate- in that case, that atom cancels itself out... it simply "stops existing" because in the larger sense the universe is a living thing and we're all parts of it (E=MC2), and the other atom simply goes on existing, unaltered. Sure this is entropic, but this is a very big universe we're in.

I am made of seven trillion trillion trillion atoms. So everytime one of them meets its counterpart, it pops out of existence... I am made of swiss cheese. This is why I am in Disney and not anywhere near where my other self is- because America is 50 states and each state has its own city and each city has its own logistics... because it's possible to exist in the past as I am provided I am sufficiently distanced from my other self.

Sure I am in some grandiose way interacting with my other self... sure the o2 in the co2 I exhale will eventually be inhaled by my other self but in actuality, this would take thousands of years which makes it impossible... provided I stay far enough away from "me". This is how I still exist regardless of the fact I don't belong here.

My coming here is my retirement. I don't have many years left and I decided to spend those last days and years preventing it from ever getting to this point... I'd rather life comfortably in the past with the possibility of altering my own life than in my present where I simply wither and die- I'd like a chance to remake myself and that's why I am here.

You guys are the gravy. You guys are the back story for when my other self logs on to TTF and follows this thead here- then it'll all make sense to him/me... then I'll be complete.
I did memorize the Powerball numbers for Florida on a specific date in 2010- that will be my gift to you all for your participation in the end. That was an historic drawing- the first drawing for one billion dollars. There was one winning ticket holder and no winner ever claimed the prize- a crop of conspiracy circles popped up over this event- "the time it made more sense to kill a man than hand over a billion dollars". I will happily post these numbers before the drawing to see whether it's a conspiracy or not.

I originally wrote:
&gt;when you seperate a pair of atoms then reverse the charge of one of them and the other changes regardless of distance... that's that called?&lt;

To which Pamela asked:
&gt;&gt;I was hoping you knew being from 2044. I don't believe the answer is known yet in our time.&lt;&lt;

This is a well known concept today, I just don't remember what it's called. A physicist would definetly know which is why I asked Darby for the name of it.

&gt;&gt;Isn't there anything you can give us about it that is not currently known?

I have given well over 50 predictions, some of which already passed- what else can I do? Start rambling off Super Bowls as proof? Real time travelers don't come back with dire, urgent information- they come back to relive the past and not alter it to the point of where they don't exist in it anymore.

I wrote:
&gt;Considering there's only one tangable universe, where else could it go but nowhere? Another random part of the universe? Perhaps, but regardless that's somewhere I don't want to be.&lt;

And Pamela replied:
&gt;&gt;What if your wrong?&lt;&lt;
How can I be- there is only one reality: this one. Sure infinite, alternate universe may/do exist but the energy required to "go from one universe to another" is as big as the universe itself... it's like trying to quantify pi.

Let's say for every action, a host of new universes pop up where it potentially does. Then the universe is full of an ininite number of alternate universe every second forever... at that point the question becomes "does reality really exist?" If this is the case, then all kinds of stuff would pop into our universe- aliens, time travelers, Jesus and whatever else you can imagine. At that point, if you looked out through a telescope the universe would not make sense. But the universe DOES make sense- all the way back to the Big Bang. E=MC2 removed the mystery from our universe... the whole universe makes sense. Why? Because this is tangable reality.

&gt;&gt;If you would disappear what would happen to all of us that knew you and talked to you here?&lt;&lt;

I don't belong here so whatever causality happens will affect me, not the universe around me.

Sure thing, Ms. Moore.

anonymous_person- Cryogenics in 2044 is the same as cryogenics in 2007. What makes cryogenics sustainable is the simplicity in making liquid gasses through pressure. Once you're a popsicle, you're essentially inert. No major research was done on these poor souls- there's no money in it. Maybe in 2200 we'll figure out how to thaw someone out without turning them to mush in the process.

&gt;&gt;Does CERN discover micro-blackholes with their new accelerator in 2007/2008?&lt;&lt;

I gotta be honest- this is all old news to me. This is like me asking you the exact date the Vietnam War ended. Eyebrows are raised when they turn on the machine and extra energy appears and when they turn it off and it goes away- this is time travel. A few years after this happens, Kaku outlines his theory, then everyone starts building "magic machines" which are a direct application of his untested theory. Branson wins.

Causality is not as causal as you'd think- the world is a big place. Considering I shed over a billion atoms a second, we're all somewhat causal-proof. We are nothing but atoms put together to form "us", after all. What does me in is information, which is what this here now is.

I have carefully explained the principle above to the best of my ability- the "layman's version"; the high school version. This is as close as I want to get to actually explaining it- to the point of where an average person can see I'm not making this stuff up. Any more (which ,Darby, I am am unable to do) would create causality which would rewrite history even more.
And even though I am here to rewite history (my own), the more I detail, the less I will be able to further detail.
 
Re: Yet another time traveling claim

Titorian,

As such, "my atoms are along for the ride" in a time they shouldn't exist in. My atoms don't mind being here- they're millions of years old- this 38 year leap is a hiccup in their life as an atom. They only run into a problem if they encounter their duplicate- in that case, that atom cancels itself out... it simply "stops existing" because in the larger sense the universe is a living thing and we're all parts of it (E=MC2), and the other atom simply goes on existing, unaltered. Sure this is entropic, but this is a very big universe we're in.

Say what?

First, there is no possible way to tell one particular atom from another. That's a basic principle of quantum physics. Second, atoms don't "encounter" each other. Yet another principle of quantum mechanics having to do with the Exclusion Principle. Atoms have those aforementioned electrons. They "repel" each other (actually they cannot occuy the same quantum state simultaneously). Third, even if they could "encounter" each other it woulld be atoms in your skin and hair that would have contact - and you shed your skin and hair continuously. The atoms in your skin and hair at age 63 are not the atoms that are in your 26 year old doppleganger self. And fourth, even if they did encounter their "alter-self" they would not "cancel" each other unless they were particle/antiparticle pairs.

But you did post that little equation E=mc^2. It really does have meaning beyond an Internet joke. So let's give you your due and say, sure...ok...you encounter your alter self and are cancelled out as described by the equation that you posted.


I'll take a guess and say that your mass is about 80 kg, ~175 lbs. (It doesn't make much difference one way or another if you weigh 100 lbs or 300 lbs):

A 100 megaton thermoclear device converts ~4.66 kg of mass to energy. You weigh ~80 kg or about 17.172 times more than 4.66 kg. So, if you encounter your doppleganger and have a fiesta your party will be a blast.

Indeed, a blast in the most literal meaning of the word!

There are two of you so that's going to be, not 80 kg, but 160 kg...34.34 times greater than the mass converted in a 100 megaton device.

Your little party will release a 3433.75 metagon thermonuclear gadget into the world. Good old Terra Firma will not survive.

And all of this so you can enjoy your retirement while leaving a few bucks to self indulgent "self"?

And you're "concerned" about giving too many details because it might alter history a little too much? If you kill every living thing on the planet I guarantee you that you'll change history just a bit beyond what would occur if you talked out of turn.

Hey. You're the one who said this is what would happen. I just filled in the numbers for you.

BTW:

You never did answer the question about Kaku's switching up on his area of expertise. So when did he leave string theory behind (the area of physics that he's been in exclusively for 37 years) and go into general relativity?
 
Re: Yet another time traveling claim

&gt;First, there is no possible way to tell one particular atom from another. That's a basic principle of quantum physics.&lt;

Every atom has unique properties- the universe is infinitely small.

&gt;even if they did encounter their "alter-self" they would not "cancel" each other unless they were particle/antiparticle pairs.&lt;
&gt;&gt;when you seperate a pair of atoms then reverse the charge of one of them and the other changes regardless of distance... that's that called?&lt;&lt;

I finally found the name of this principle: entanglement.

"Imagine a dime sliced down the middle, into a heads half and a tails half. One half goes to a person who then flies to the moon, and you keep the other half here on Earth. When you look at your half, and see that it is heads, there is no need for you to talk to your moon-bound friend to know she has tails.

But here's the startling difference between two halves of a dime and two quantum particles. In the moment before you look at a quantum particle, it is neither heads nor tails. Rather, it is both at once. When you look, it becomes one or the other. Your mere curiosity has changed its condition.

Weirder still, a quantum particle's quirkiest talent may be its ability to be intimately linked, or entangled, with another. Even when two entangled particles are far apart, a change to one always affects the other."

http://whyfiles.org/shorties/133quantum_leap/
Also check out Wikipedia- it has lots of those letter-math-formulas that make no sense to me in it.

&gt;Your little party will release a 3433.75 metagon thermonuclear gadget into the world. Good old Terra Firma will not survive.&lt;

You're exactly right- this is what zero hour is all about. If you went back in time and stayed there until the "re-present", there would be "double the you" in the universe which is a major violation of conservation. At that point, if you met your other self, a black hole would form and swallow the Earth and moon... but not the solar system. The universe would remain intact, only the Earth would no longer be in it- this is because the Earth is a 99% closed system.

&gt;&gt;Hey. You're the one who said this is what would happen. I just filled in the numbers for you.&lt;&lt;

Yes, according to classical physics as told by you, if I met myself, the entire planet would blow up. This is why E=MC2 cannot unify the fundamental forces after 102 years, tens of thousands of physicists and trillions of dollars- it falls short from a lack of perspective.

&gt;&gt;You never did answer the question about Kaku's switching up on his area of expertise. So when did he leave string theory behind (the area of physics that he's been in exclusively for 37 years) and go into general relativity?&lt;&lt;

Science abandons string theory when they realize it's nothing but numbers on paper- that it's nothing more than a sufficiently elaborate math formula that's equal because it's large enough to be equal but has no practical application apart from a good reason to learn Latin- it's junk math.

I did not know physicists have areas of expertise- I thought physicists were just physicists. What's your area of expertise? I find physics fascinating, but I only have an outsider's view of it which is what you need to wrap your mind around a concept larger than E=MC2. You're too boggled down by numbers.

I take it the clarification you're seeking for the 5% of what I wrote that you don't agree with as a compliment.
 
Re: Yet another time traveling claim

Titorian,

Let me just say thank you for answering my questions. So the practise of cryonics is at least still happening then? And can I assume that the before mentioned cryonics organizations are still in existence in the 2040's? I realize you're probably not all that familiar with cryonics service providers so I understand if you don't know about their existence in the 40's. The reason I ask about cryonics is because I have a vested personal interest.

What about nanotechnology, how far has that come by 2044?

Also can we assume that the results of Gravity Probe-B will confirm Einstein's theory or will physics be turned on it's head? Feel free to PM or email me if you do not wish to answer openly.

I have always been interested in time-travel and have done extensive research on the subject myself. You mentioned that you have recieved weird spam (email), I find this interesting as I too recieved a strange email a few years ago from someone who was evidently tracking my research on-line somehow! It didn't come as spam but as a legit email message, it was very strange, and somewhat disconcerting to know that I had been spyed on during my searches. I have stayed away from the subject since then except for now posting on this forum.

Just out of pure curiosity, does the technology exist today to build a working time machine? And if so, could it be built by any individual or group of people with the ingenuity and resources, without having to spend billion$?
 
Re: Yet another time traveling claim

Also Titorian, you mention about not being able to interact with your past self, but what about interacting with friends or family in the past?
