I havent had a chance to go much into detail on that website and to read his posts,

but is this the same guy who got nabbed on Wall Street doing "alleged" insider trading? I remember this story from back in MArch or April where this guy was arrested for trading stocks and acquiring $200 million in assets in like 2 weeks.

SO when he was arrested and questioned he said he was from the future. He came here in a time machine. Much like this John Titor fellow.

Interesting

Where did I read that story again? Oh yeah, the Weekly World News: http://tv.yahoo.com/news/wwn/20030319/104808600007.html



Cool site about John Titor, whoever perpetrated this hoax did a very good job. I guess we won't know that for sure until next year when the Civil War is supposed to begin.

search for "time travel" in chillout, there's a thread under that title about that article with people discussing it and then going off about time travel / speed of light travel in general and switching to john titor. quite fascinating.

Yeah, people talked about Titor in the last time travel thread. The existence of this character was pretty thoroughly debunked a long time ago though, so don't put too much stock into it.

Interesting read nonetheless, though... would make a good sci fi movie.

Yeah, whoever made up this story had way too much time in their hands and pretty smart, heh.
Here's some more info and pics about the story


Btw, I don't think he's the same guy as the Wall Street thing.

read this, it pretty much disproves the story without any doubt. Anyone with high school physics under their belt should be laughing at this anyways.

Its a cool "war of the worlds" type hoax
