It's from Steins Gate In case anyone is wondering and you should watch

[@vociferonheraldofthewinter2284]

He had a fantastic explanation for his openness & the predictions that didn't come true. He was from a different timeline. He flat out said he didn't care about this timeline. It's a nice,neat little logic loop. A "get out of failed predictions free" card. He wasn't talking about our timeline. He was focused on HIS timeline. Personally, I like it. It stays fun this way.

[@Gildedmuse]

I understand this theory. So, pretty much, you can't truly time travel, at least not on your own timeline. Either it causes too many potential paradoxes or there is an issue with energy exchange or some other sciencey reason. Logic followed. So instead what you do is you go back, but in doing so you shift timelines as well, or else in the very act of going backwards a new timeline is automatically created. This allows you to interact with what appears to be your past, but your actions have no impact on you or the "future" because they're all happening on a different timeline where either the future is not yet determined (if this is a new timeline you have just created, and assuming timelines function of an observation principle) or else this has already happened just in a future that isn't yours. I am still following, and so far no logical inconsistencies within their own framework When you go back however, would you even be able to go back? I feel like time travel into the future is well understood and simply involves incredible amounts of acceleration. But surely all that will do is dump you in the future... For that time line. You could argue that you use the same method to get back to the future as you do the past, and assuming that time travel works the same way both ways (which we already know it doesn't since methods that take your forward don't take you back) but if it's the second method, it seems to me since jumping back created a new timeline there is no reason jumping forward using the same method wouldn't have the same result, which just means your trapped on a third, unrelated timeline. The first method, seeing as it just moved you to the nearest similar timeline so you would land in a past most similar to your own. Only now this timeline has you in it, so using the logic you programmed into the machine, wouldn't it just take you to the nearest similar timeline which would now be a timeline where you interrupted the past. It seems to me once you leave your future, the hardest part would returning to that same future.

[@gruk5319]

​@@Gildedmuseits kinda like how dragon ball zee did it before believe it or not,i believe they called it a paradox in that if you change ome thing it can have a ripple like effect where other changes occur or simply put a future and timeline not like the orginal timeline. So for example in the future trunks got where he killed android 18 and 17 he ended up being killed by cell in said timeline where as in another cell hadnt formed yet so he was able to come back at the promised time the android twins would wake from unaware that he did die already even if it was simply one version of him that came about from the timeline where he won. either way it just shows time travel is one hell of a woman you don't wanna test, even more when hearing about what you pointed out and what titor said all of it is really terrifying yet enthralling to wanna see for oneself.

Yes, and not just heavily referenced, I think that undersells it. Moderate early (as in first 7 eps) spoilers for Steins;Gate: The plot of Steins;Gate was explicitly made around the theory of time travel that was described by Titor, this also includes what he claimed the future would be like. This gives a serious sense of authenticity to the show.

[@JULEMANDEN99]

Steins gate is just an anime that teaches the reader and the watcher what timetravel is if posible and most consepts of it including jumping dimensions, timelines, sting theory and more.

[@nathanielmathews2617]

@@JULEMANDEN99 It really doesn't include concepts from string theory or anything, I also wouldn't really say that it is teaching time travel. It assumes you know about it and expands the "science" that the world it portrays uses. It actually uses very little conceptual science used by actual theoretical physicists. It is very good for showing the scientific process, though.

[@thestinkycheeseman2208]

Well of course it never happened... because he achieved his goal.

[@jackdavidson9045]

If real he would've created the classic paradox of going back and stopping what made you go back originally which then creates the time line you originally went back to stop because the events never took place so you never go back in time. But you did go back in time meaning the original events occur creating the paradox.

[@thestinkycheeseman2208]

@Jack Davidson That's only if time is linear.

[@jackdavidson9045]

@@thestinkycheeseman2208 it wouldn't matter the paradox would still be created instead of being a loop it would be a time line split. Yet signs of the paradox would still be clear to see. If you need an easy to understand version watch the tv series Loki. It has a simpler way of showing the split time line paradox. Back to the future explains the butterfly effect of Time travel in a trilogy but it simplifies the science of the paradoxes. The flash point explains the time loop paradox. All of which can happen just by doing what this individual is said to have done. That's three types of paradoxes that would have happened in linear and circular time theories. The loop could still happen even in a linear time line.

[@jerimiehall]

Just talking about future events changes the course of them. Doc Brown taught me that!

[@idfkinc3505]

[@jordanthecommander6977]

Steins;gate actually does an incredible job of explaining why John Titor could have been a legit time traveler while not having his predictions come true. Instead of time being a singular linear path, there could be multiple parallel paths entirely disjointed from one another that people's consciousness could pass between. So, unlike Back to the Future, where the timeline is altered by your actions in the past, you simply move to the timeline where those events would have occurred. John Titor simply passed into a World Line where those events don't occur or occur at a different point than his own.

The biggest thing is that he also predicted the prediction not happening as stated or not happening at all because of the intervention in this timeline. Is interesting how close some of the predictions got. To be clear, I don't think it was a time traveler, if there were time travel available Stephen Hawking would have gotten a good party. And the kind of time travel that Titor described doesn't have the grandfather's paradox so no risk.

[@Mechagnostic]

The wierd part is he knew about a debugging mode the 5100 was capable of that wasn't made public by IBM until a couple of years after he made his claims. He made the claim that that machine was needed for a hidden debugging mode. So he was either legit or an ibm engineer.

[@TheFakeNewsFrog]

There’s a theory about time travel that solves the “what of you went back in time and killed your grandparents, so you were never born” problem, known as the Grandfather Paradox… The theory is that when travelling back in time, you actually travel to a different timeline, a parallel universe. So if you were to go back and kill your grandparents, you would still exist, as the timeline you’re from is unaffected. If that theory is true, it could be that John actually came from a different timeline. And while in his timeline those things actually happened, in ours they simply don’t.

[@Noogleminus]

Sit still. Now how fast are you moving? The surface of the earth spins about it's core at about 1000 miles per hour. The earth does more than just spin though as it's moving around the sun at around 67,000 miles per hour. The sun is also moving around the galaxy at around 500,000 miles per hour. Oh, and the galaxy is estimated to be moving at around 130 miles per second. We could do some math and figure out constructive and destructive movements that give an exact speed, but 130 miles per second seems good enough. So, if you time-traveled one second, the earth will have moved 130 miles. This could be 130 miles toward Earth's core or 130 miles out into space. So, what would happen if you time-traveled one day into the future? You'd appear in space with the Earth over 11 million miles away. Now, what if you traveled one year into the future? You'd appear in space around 4 billion miles from Earth. You'd be dodging Kuiper belt debris as you'd have appeared over 300 million miles beyond the orbit of Pluto. So, you tell me. Is time travel possible?

[@leicestergux]

Ok 1st thing 1st I don't believe in time travel.... however.. if it were possible I would imagine that the people could do it would be an intergalactic species (or us in the future) so they would do the time traveling in space somehow and then come back to the earth 🤷‍♂️

Yeah the thing is even, the Butterfly Effect is a very real problem concerning time travel simply, so that's why the events he talks about may not have occurred. Simply by going back in time he may have already changed events enough that he no longer needed to go back in time in the first place there are so many things that could have an effect on the future that you're never going to know which of them caused things to change. Time travel is a very tricky business.

[@topic_4668]

i heard the name john titor and was just like "Is THaT a STeInS gatE reFErenCe"

[@darkfoxfurre]

Out of curiosity, I looked into this a lot about a decade ago. Also, this is from memory so the details a little fuzzy for me. From what I could find, after the chatlogs of John Titor started becoming popular, someone in Florida tried to start up a company selling some sort of merchandise claiming it was from the future or something. They additionally tried to prevent anyone else from using the John Titor name in any marketing or products. But when the local government (District Attorney or something) caught wind of it all, they started poking around the business about whether or not the products/information that this "John Titor" was trying to sell was actually from the future or not. It was at this point that all advertisements and offers from a "John Titor" ceased. So, based upon what little I could find at the time- It seems like John Titor was indeed just a joke/prank that the creator tried to capitalize on. But when the local government started poking at the legally dubious nature of the fledgling business, the creator stopped everything and dipped, as to not get into any legal hot water. Around this time period, there were a ton of online scams like that- Magic crystals, buying property on the moon, etc. So it's not unusual for something like this to have started as a joke, that turned into someone trying to make a quick buck by taking advantage of people on the Internet. Also, I'm surprised that the actual chatlogs weren't mentioned at all in this video. From what I recall, they basically go over how he (John Titor) used a truck with a device in the back of it to travel through time. How it could travel through space back to Earth's previous position was either not mentioned or very hand-wavy (Something about a gravity lock-on or something?) There was also a lot of talk about how he was staying with his parents and was baby sitting the younger version of himself. And, of course, a lot of the predictions about the future he made were very vague and didn't come to fruition.

[@IrinaZumba]

"Hmm... John Tits? No, too obvious. John Tiddy? Still too obvious. Maybe....John Titor? Ah, perfect".

[@SnowmanCR1]

The best representation of time travel is back to the future and terminator It uses multiverse theory and different timelines. Titor is the most authentic story where it might be true

[@Treblaine]

First question on September 12th 2001: "Bro, why didn't you mention THAT!"

[@UteChewb]

The reason Titor could get away with his claims is because he claimed that the Many Worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics was true and that he was travelling between close timelines, so that this timeline might not play out the way his did. Yeah, but that just makes his claim unfalsifiable. He can say anything and dismiss complaints as "not my timeline, bro". I don't buy it, but if you read his posts, they were made by someone who had technical knowledge and some physics background. A nicely constructed hoax. Give the man a cigar.

[@doms.6701]

John Titor's story has the plot of Star Trek 4 The voyage home. Travel to the past for one specific thing to save the future. Whales for Star Trek, an IBM computer for him. He also mentions micro singularities, which were also mentioned several times throughout the next generation as a power source for Romulan ships. I conclude that John Titor is not a time traveler, but a trekkie.

[@ImNotAnAlienLizardPerson]

😂 That smug confident “ok, then!” while being wrong is fabulous. To be clear I do NOT believe “Titor” to be real or the stories to be real but technically according to what we know about time travel which is very little it would be possible for someone to make predictions that never come true because of varying reasons for example “the many worlds hypothesis”, or a host of other reasons.

[@coooguy1]

I had to do a paper for my high school creative writing class and I did it on him lol. I basically posited a theory that he wasn’t in fact a time traveler but a time shifter. Basically he wasn’t going back in time but shifting timelines into similar timelines that exist in the same place but lag behind that’s why his predictions are wrong it’s not his timeline but a similar timeline so close historically that from his perspective he is time traveling.

I can understand how people would still believe, modern media states that any influence while time traveling can have consequences that alter what has already happened.

[@Stray0]

In the parallel universe version of time travelling, the past of john titor and our future are two separate (parallel) universes. The fact that the predicted events did not happen could mean that john titor initiated a butterfly effect and changed the future to something unpredictable. Or he was on a military mission to change the past and succeeded. (but most probably he was trolling)

The irony of this is time travel isn't going straight back or forward in time, time is very fluid and always changing and creating new branches, to time travel from your existing branch back in time would not actually be your direct timeline but a parallel copy where there may be slight to huge differences. The differences though grow more drastic the farther you go back, because there's no such thing as pinpoint time travel, thus providing the possibility why their statements on upcoming events are wrong or possibly not exactly the time he mentions, because he's not from our timeline but one similar and or parallel to ours

I have done nothing but teleport bananas for three days.

I think time travel will end up being more like someone will be able to create an anchor to a certain point of time that can be traveled to, then would rely on another anchor to be made in order to be useful, essentially teleporting between two points of time

If i was a time traveler... youd all get McF*ckin' trolled.

[@6016184]

"Okay then" but you have things like the grandfather paradox, going back in time and changing something affects the future. Even talking about future events can alter them or even prevent them from occurring.

Imagine building a time machine and you have to take a break every 30 years before you can go back any more

Every joke has its demographic..... This joke will make software engineers laugh 😅😂

[@mjross007]

Some theory in time travel would suggest Titter wasn't time traveling, but dimension jumping.. if he wasn't just trolling that is. Dimension jumping is the only way to explain if his timeline was different from our current one, though looking at Ukraine vs Russia maybe we're just now getting to that ww3 spoiler...

John after preventing all these events by telling the public about them: "No need to thank me."

At least he was somewhat right about World War III. it may have not gone nuclear, but that doesn't mean the whole world isn't on it...

[@daviddragonheart6798]

Theoretically, all Titor did was disrupt the flow of time, and the order of events. We havent HAD these events yet, which means because he told us about them, they either may not happen now, OR they are just delayed.

[@TrustPro2024]

Dang bro, you must need a drink bad with those shaky hands you got hahaha

[@yomamasfavour1te]

There's a 50/50 chance that titor was a time traveller but we will never know

[@melantre]

As someone who's had access to the internet since 1996 ( 🦖 ) doc style vids about 2000's videos make me feel 100 yrs old 😂😂

Bro leaked the DLC 💀

[@theworldsgreatestjidiot9667]

Good thing that we learned how to make bananas time travel before this could happen

[@SafepathUS]

Another time traveler made millions of dollars for a short while as he predicted the stock market changes and accurately was correct and he was arrested and yet escaped from the impossible escape room, back to his time-line. This was decades ago as newspapers showed this too.

[@GhostZodick]

Titor was right about the IBM computer. It is the correct model that he would need if he was really trying to solve that problem.
