A Brief Summary of the John Titor Phenomenon


THE TIME TRAVEL TALE OF JOHN TITOR

Although there is debate over the exact date it started, on November 02, 2000, a person calling themselves Timetravel_0, and later John Titor, started posting on a public forum that he was a time traveler from the year 2036.

One of the first things he did was post pictures of his time machine and its operations manual. As the weeks went by, more and more people began questioning him about why he was here, the physics of time travel and his thoughts about our time. He also posted on other forums including the now non-existent Art Bell site. In his posts John Titor entertained, angered, frightened and even belittled those who engaged him in conversation.

On March 21, 2001, John Titor told us he would be leaving our and returning to 2036. After that, he was never heard from again. Speculation and investigation about who John Titor was and why he was online continues to this day.

Although it may be easy to dismiss all this as science fiction, most people who read his posts agree that there is something very haunting about John Titor and what he said. In addition, and open to more debate, he also made a series of predictions and comments that eerily seem to be coming true.

Unfortunately, I never spoke directly to John Titor but there are many out there who have and continue to wonder about their experience. As you get deeper and deeper into the story, you will find his posts, links to other sites about him, downloads and speculative information attributed to him after he left. I have taken the posts and organized them by date and subject. My editorial work is copyrighted but the unedited posts and the people who experienced it are in the public domain can be found on other sites listed inside.

As you read, please try to keep two things in mind:

1. John appeared to answer nearly every question that was asked of him over the 4-month period he was online. Because of that, many people neglected to read the previous posts and asked similar or exact questions he had already answered. It may offer a glimpse of what a time traveler goes through when having the same conversation again and again.

2. These posts were written before 911, the Discovery accident and the second gulf war. Many people believe John may have known of these events and dropped clues without actually referring to them. It's also widely agreed that he made several predictions about future physics discoveries that have materialized as he stated.

I have included a guest book where you may leave your comments. I will endeavor to respond to any questions you have based on my work.

I hope you enjoy your journey with John Titor.

Why would a man from the future time travel back only 30 some years and drop vague crap hints about future events in a message forum on the internet?

It's entertaining at least.

He definitely went the distance with it. I'll give him that. It takes a certain level of dedication to pull off something that people still debate years later.

Yeah, I remember someone telling me about it. It was pretty well planned, but they figured out it was a hoax.

This guy made some sort of prediction that turned out to be wrong, like the world was gonna end in 2007 or there was gonna be a WWIII by now or something. He had to have had a hell of a lot of free time though.

He came back looking for some obscure piece of computer hardware used for debugging stuff apparently.
I read about Titor years ago, its interesting stuff, if complete bullshit.

Maybe he comes from a different universe almost entirely like this one where the exact same events are unfolding the exact same way but at different dates.

Oh shit that's right! I completely forgot. He was looking for an IBM 5100. :rofl:

He was simply on a different line of time than we are. So although his predictions were correct for his specific line of time they were not correct for the one we are on.

It's awesome what people make up to cover their bullshit. Sometimes it seems so simple and plausible it must be true!

It's based on scientific theory.

I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not. Please make use of the Smileys to convey it next time.

Well were halfway through 2008 and the civil war he predicted would start this year hasn't yet. We still have 6 more months so we'll see. It will probably happen around election time if it's true.

Well, if he was TRULY from the future, surely he would have said something about the first FEMALE and BLACK presidential candidates. And possibly the first female or black president, but we'll find that out in November.

I mean, this is kinda BIG NEWS. even if the exact same events are happening on a different time line, you'd think he would have mentioned this!

I've met people like that. Usually they are standing on street corners hurling abuse at passing cars and imaginary companions.

The whole Titor thing read like a cross between a rejected Terminator script and a survivalist's wet dream.

Actually he predicted the civil war would start in 2004. And that there would be no Olympics that year. :rolleyes:
