I dont know if this is a repost but this guy named john titor supposedly time traveled from 2036 and started posting up on various science forums. i was skeptical at first but he says some interesting things and sounds very intelectual about everything... check out this site and let me knwo what you think

Still thinking about what is sadder: The fact that this guy has so much time on his hands. Or me being so bored that I actually give it a read
It's an interesting story, but has some mistakes in it. Read the second link and you'll notice why...

Most of the same music you enjoy is available on archive. However the days of mega-stars playing multiple track studio produced music and lip-synching on a huge stage are pretty much isolated to your time period. Like everything else, music is much less centralized. The general trend is away from "computer generated" music and more toward real people playing real instruments. Music is much more of a personal experience. More people know how to read music and play together in small groups.

Sorry, anyone with a high school physics degree ain't buying it.

a high school physics degree? i want one!
i skimmed over that 'professor's' email reply...
" The Schwarzchild radius for the electron mass " - wtf is that? i'm sure he meant the Schwarzschild radius for a black hole - search for " The Schwarzchild radius for the electron mass " on google and you'll see how irrelevant that is
and to back up john titor, i think what he meant by "black hole being a size of an electron" is that a black hole's SINGULARITY is infinitely small but infinitely dense / heavy. remember, he claimed to be a soldier, so i wouldn't suppose him to completely understand the physics of this.
i'm not saying john titor's story was true or not, i'm just saying that what this 'professor' is saying about the Schwarzschild equation is flawed IMO.

Been posted multiple times, but yeah, it's a hoax. Good story though. I disagree that your average idiot with a high school diploma could do a decent job of debunking it, it kind of did take the expertise of a university professor to do so with authority.

The idea is so fascinating though. I wonder why no1 hasnt used it as an idea for a book/movie yet.

Are you here now to observe the results of the presidential election?
I would use the word "elections" a bit cautiously. Perhaps it's easier now to see a civil war in your future?
thats fuckin crazy

this is pretty interesting. even if it is a hoax, it seems like there are some good messages in it.
