You know I've been thinking about time travel and time paradoxes last few days...odd that you made this thread as well....coincidence!?!?! |
Maybe it is just alternate universes colliding? They just think they are travelling in time.

Thats also a possibility, and not saying John Titor's stories were true or false, but say for example, he predicted things right up to a few years, but his other predictions did not come true, perhaps in another reality, it did come true.
I believe in the multiverse theory out of all the theories, with a slight skepticism.

You seem to know about John Titor. What happened to him? Is he still making predictions?

Ah, you don't know the story?
I'll go over the gist of the story. I was heavy into the TItor saga back near its origination in 2000-2001. Time is an important key to his story. In 2011, its kind of funny/interesting but not plausible given what we know now about history, but back then, his predictions were scary and rather accurate initially.
Essentially, a guy went onto the Time Travel Institutes' forum and stated he was from the future, and since the multiverse was true, he had no qualms with discussing any topic of time travel and the future from 2000 to 2036, where he was sent from. His story was that America had undergone a nuclear war on December 21st, 2012, which destroyed a lot of America's environment, and fostered an era of self reliance and sustainability....But about 200 million less people in the US.
He then went on to make a lot of predictions about the future. His format was essentially a web Q&A and inferred a lot of details, but few names as to protect the identities of people. His story was essentially that the US was plunged into a violent civil war in 2004-2008 due to government encroachment on civil liberties brought about by.......Get this.......A huge terrorist attack. He also correctly predicted the year that we went to war with Iraq.
He posted on TTI's site for about 5 months, then said he was leaving to never return to our history ever again. On the day he said he'd leave, he was never heard from again. Supposedly, some forum posters had some legitimate interactions with him, and said the story was legitimate.
Of course, eventually, his larger predictions never occured. There was no American civil war or massive infectious outbreaks. Although the supposed nuclear war is yet to occur, its unlikely to happen. But back then, it was pretty scary and accurate through 2003-4.
JohnTitor.com has a good, succinct wrap-up on the story. I knew about the story prior to that website being established, and its pretty much an aggregate of what went down. The actual posts were or are preserved, and I can verify they happened for what its worth.
A lot of his future predictions about general life were scarily accurate from 2000-2001. He mentioned a ton of social things that have wound up happening. I could list them if you like, but the Titor site has most of the predictions.
