    You know something after looking back at your video. A real time traveler who knew history, would have used bulletin boards of the late 80's and early 90's to search the so called hardware. In 2000, almost ALL BBS were gone with only Internet in place. And not only that if he really was from 2036 he had advance knowledge in many fields, including lotteries. You see, you can't really travel back in time when banks and governments at one point removes old denomination of money (Old bills) and it would leave only one option to carry large amounts of gold (coins) in their pockets. To avoid this situation, if you know in advance the lotteriy stats and numbers, when you go back in time you only need to pop at a certain point where you could win an inbetween jackpot without attracting the attention of autorities. And when in certain countries you can easily win up to 10 million of dollars without attracting attention, with that money you can do anything. Not only, the choice of the specific model of computer sound off, why use this specific model when the easy way would have been to use a computer that used embedded DOS that came from the 80's. Now if you look at the hardware he used to travel in time, the size of that thing would prompt any travelers to have spare parts to rebuild the unit twice. And in his story, he doesn't mention the power source used for his device. In reality, this John Titor was more someone that wanted attention in 2000 with a almost beliveable story. A real time traveler would have come back in time better prepared, and one other thing. If you travel in time and you jump back in time, with such a short jump, every specific point in time of advance knowlwdge would have been spot on and could be verified, and any real time traveler would have reach the proper autorities and given them one event that could be changed, like the space plane heatshield problem. NOw that one probably came from the fact that a few times NASA had some issues with the heatshield of the space shuttle but never cause major issues, A real time traveler would have given the information that the full crew of one orbital flight would all die in a specific accident. And not only that in 2000, we were closer to the 2001 event with the WTC and he did not mention this. And I don't think anyone that would time travel on such short jump back in time would come from an other parallel time line. So on this one I have to call this story came from an early version of Trolling. Because a real time traveler, would have the tools, the backup hardware & parts and the money in pocket to cover time period he's visiting and the knowledge to perform one good action to save lives. Well that's what I would do if I were traveling in time. And in the case of this John Titor, he sounds more like someone that had no knowledge of tech, noo knowlwedge of aerospace industies and no knowloedge if the PC industries of the era he came to be known. and with all the events that happened in the last 20 years he gave absolutly nothing to prove he was from the future. And also the device he shows pictures and drawings with limited edited text info on drawings. That device looks a lot like a portable short wave radio from the late 70's, army surplus repainted, we never what is at the end of the spring heavy duty cable, that looks like a mic/headphone cable.

    I love the mythology about John Titor and how deeply it's tried into the Steins;gate visual novel. But only 1/4 of Steins;Gate is based on it (the important parts involving Suzuha) but the underlying Many-Worlds interpretation used by Titor plays a role throughout the entire Science Adventure series. Now, many things do have an answer. - How did Titor know about the mainframe emulator? It's not a far fetched guess, but most likely ANY IBM engineer that worked on it, or their next-of-kin might have known about it. I'm sure there was more than one person responsible for the 5100, and it's not a coincidence that someone would use their pet-project in a story. That's the same reason why a lot of novels use their own hometowns in novels. - The photos look like stage props. All of them. There is one you didn't use which involved the "bending light" which is one of the easier to disprove ones with a fibre optic cable. I'll give whoever came up with kudos for going that extra mile to make it look like a real thing, but the lack of any photos showing it operating is enough proof that it can't be real. - Various other details are not hard-and-fast coincidences. Heating the space plane, civil wars, etc. You don't need a crystal ball to predict certain things happening if you don't give it a specific date. The MWI theory itself, and as used in Steins;Gate, gives an easy-out for divergences. You can't just take the winning lotto numbers, go back a day in time and win, because a divergence doesn't guarantee RNG will be the same. You'd be better off trying to invest in an index fund in 1975 and create a trust to never change that investment until it's time to cash out.

Text forums and new internet had a magnetic appeal, I could see why anyone from the future would want to go to that era. As a gamer, there was a real sense of community. These days it's selfies and "here's a picture of my lunch", everyone seems to be online and completely disengaged from one another. There's a lot of great things today, most of which is better than the past, but there is that element many of us wish would've carried forward.

When asked what good that would do, he said that the same would be happening in the vast majority of other dimensions, he would be doing the same. So even if he wasn't doing missions for his own dimension, a different version of him would. Kinda clever.

    Then he's SLIDING, as apposed to time travel. What people seem to forget is that the Earth, Sun, and Milky Way are constantly moving. If you wanted to go back to 1975, you also have to know where it is in conjunction to the space where you are at, in the first place. You literally can't stay on one connected dimension and move back and forth. You must move through all 4 dimensions simultaneously. This is not multiverse theory. Granted if you talk about multiverses, then maybe there's more than one version of Earth along a different time line right beneath you, but more than likely the impact to the destination universe to have Earth in the same spot, at a different time, implies some gravitational catastrophic event, either in our timeline or the destination. It is highly likely the 5100 wouldn't exist or it's just a dust planet. Let's say his time machine can go back in time to 1975 and be precise. He would need to know the coordinates in relationship to the whole universe. Given this ability, why does it matter where he starts and stops, or what car he is in? He could transport to any location on Earth at any time, and not bother negotiating with a person for a 5100. I would have just traveled to the end of the assembly line and pickup a box and be out of there. Brand spanking new. Titor is just too dramatic, looking for attention. Experiment: Graph an XY coordinate on Earth, trace it for a day, or a year. Where does that point exist in relationship to time and the Sun? It's a lot like a Spirograph, but in three dimensions. At no point in time is it possible for the XY coordinate going to cross itself. It will literally be 1000 miles away in a matter of minutes or seconds.

    There was a guy posting on the timetravelinstitute website (now defunct), about 15 years ago, who claimed to be from 2236, which would be 200 years after Titor's time, and he claimed that he had read books as a young person about Titor's projects, and that they were military projects following some sort of EMF pulse war or something like that. He further claimed that the technology used by Titor was still being taught in 2236, but had been greatly improved upon by then. I can't remember all the details, a lot of the technical details went over my head, but I do remember he called their current scientific model for time travel, the "Taurus model", but I can't remember what in the world that was. And something about limited range, accuracy and reliability, and other stuff I can't remember. But he posted quite a lot of stuff, and answered a lot of questions, which were usually taken as incorrect science. Anyway, he did post several photos, I think I still have a couple of them. One picture was him and a colleague or partner, with a weird device on a pole that he was holding, and another device in his hand. Don't remember what he said it was. I may still have that photo somewhere, I'll check. He said they collected data for scientific knowledge only. He appeared on the forum off and on for a few years, then completely went away around ten years ago I think. Never heard from him again, but, I do still have his photos somewhere that he emailed to me, and several other people on the forum. He also offered detailed explanations of how it all works, but I don't have those emails anymore. I didn't understand any of it anyway.

I've read the (secret) ability of the 5100 was, allegedly, only known to half a dozen people - until Titor discussed it on the internet. I personally have reasons for disbelieving functional, successful time travel. However, I also currently concede I've no alternate explanation which properly covers all the details involved.

I don’t think time travel in the single-line Terminator sense is possible at all. However, the idea that there are infinite alternate realities (I guess this is “many worlds theory”) that are all identical makes sense to me. And when communicating between them or moving from one to another, there’s no reason you’d have to reach the same time you are from in your own reality. You could go into 1980 or 1880 or any point that would appear as your own “past”, though it’s really just the present in a parallel identical universe that is simply “running late” as it were. Anyway, even the smallest of changes could have ripple effects. John could have caused COVID-19 lmao

    The 5100 and 5110 were exceptional machines for their time. I remember my Dad taking me to the IBM field office in 1975 when they, the 5100, was released. It was a demo machine and I got to play the football game when I went with him. Fast forward to late 1979 early 1980 I was trained on servicing these machines as an IBM Field Engineer. Compared to the older card machines, 360 based, System 3's I was also trained on, the 5100 platform was a dream to work on even with all the tech crammed into a small space. On a side note we were informed of the HAL 9000 from the movie 2001 Space Odyssey in my later training. HAL is IBM moved one letter forward H-I A-B L-M AND IBM came out with a System 9000 in the mid 1980's when I was trained on the System 9000.

    Yes, the dates may be inaccurate as he came from another time loop, which means we will still have civil and nuclear war just at a different date. And that date gets closer and closer. I had a vision last summer while backpacking with friends. I’m not religious, psychic, or otherwise involved with paranormal activities. In this vision, which occurred in the middle of the night, I was transported to the year 2040. I was still at the campsite, but my friends were gone and what remained look like devastation in the environment. Someone came upon me with his dog, and I asked for help. He said that this was the year 2040 after the Great War took place in 2030. I wanted to find my family and friends, but he said most people perished between 2025 and 2030 due to the vaccination global program, and the Great War between all governments happened right after that leaving only small pockets of survivors in every country. The vision continues, but this is the gist of it. It freaked me out because this vision was sudden and clear. I don’t feel like I imagined it. Hopefully, it doesn’t happen, but when people like myself who don’t believe start getting visions I tend to pay attention.

Man...I wish I could pick your brain to know more details about what you saw in your vision.

Heck, I'm definitely religious and I believe that things like this are a gift. God gave us common sense to be able to figure out if something is just a dream that our imagination just came up with or if it's a vision. It's two very different things. I'm not one to go around believing everyone or everything, but if you can put two and two together by looking at the facts...things start clicking.

    Needing an IBM 5100 to debug a Unix-related problem doesn't make a lot of sense; Sure, the 5100's microcode could emulate the 360 ISA. But these mainframes were batch processors - using things like OS/360 to get the jobs done. Not used interactively through a command prompt. Not at all related to Unix, which began on a PDP-7 in 1971 and was released into the wild years later. It's a cool story, and the patent on the time machine is a very fascinating read (if you can understand the theoretical pseudo physics!).

    I am so glad to see this video. I had lusted after that IBM 5100 personal computer ever since I saw it advertised on TV in 1975. I had begun to doubt my own memory. I used to teach computer science and computer history. I told my classes that the so called first generation of personal micro computers wasn't the first at all. It wasn't the Apple II, the Radio Shack TRS-80 or the Commodore PET. I told them there had been an IBM personal computer earlier that had a tape drive, a BASIC interpreter and an APL interpreter. But I never had any evidence that such a machine ever existed. I would have thought that it was a hallucination except that I actually coded for a while in APL. I made a proposal to my boss to create our whole internal MIS system in APL. I loved that language. I might have convinced him until one day there was a bug and an error message was printed out. APL doesn't used standard English and Roman characters. My boss looked at it and said -"What is this Martian"? The young girls who would have run my APL system probably would have screamed. Very shortly thereafter I acquired a Altair. The Altair was very primitive while the IBM 5100 was like a Science Fiction device. The next year I got a Commodore PET and - as they say - the rest is history. This is the first reference to that machine I've seen anywhere since I saw it on TV in 1975. The Altair I got free and the PET cost $800. The IBM TV ad ended with the guy holding it out toward the viewer and saying something like " Shake hand with he IBM Personal Computer." He didn't mention how heavy it was.

It does not make sense to go back and get a computer like this, when he could have gone to 2003 and picked up a P4 computer with XP and an emulator to run the programming languages he needed. Just doesn't make sense. And I say this as a guy who over the years has needed to scavage old PC parts for different project, like programming the Motorola radios, I needed an old laptop with hardware serial ports that were not emulated or linked to the OS and could run off DOS and off the BIOS. But, if I had access to a time machine, I would have gone to the future and gotten newer better equipment and the software to program them. But I remember this guy lived in the northeast if I remember correctly and he had worked for IBM in Binghamton NY and had been involved in the development of the computer. I can understand nostalgia, as I just obtained a pair of RCI-1000's , which were the first two-way radios I owned, and referbd them and got them working again. I found them doa and I bought them just because of nostalgia, Same thing with the Pachinco machine from the 1960s. I bought that because I remember playing it years and years ago. But I do miss the interesting people in the early days of the internet, who told stories like this. Back then it was a lot harder to get on what was not called social media back then, and we were all technology based, and helped each other out with problems, and were not rude, or abusive, like is the case all over the net now. CERN created a micro singularity, so we now know it is possible. GE was another big company in NY at the time and it makes sense that he would use GE, since they are govt contractors that do lots of top secret govt projects. But, I am sorry to say this story was made by an imagination of a very smart guy that life didn't treat well. So many people like this never get the life they should have had, while undeserving people who are not smart get everything they ever wanted. Not fair at all.

She was on the old message boards and was even able to participate in the discussions at the time. Ultimately true or not, it was a pretty fascinating story.

KZread was still fairly young that I remember but I remember the way it was described in some of his posts sound just like the beginnings of KZread. From what I recall, he talked about the EMP knocking out all TV station signals and they couldn't get them restarted or something (?) So people just started making their own stories and sort of trading them with each other for entertainment. I was so stuck on this story for weeks!

    I wasn't, there were always inconsistencies in his tall tales; for example, "I'm here to pick up an IBM 5100." "You're free to join me, I'm going back to 1975 and then to 2036." Uh, why? Didn't you come HERE to pick up the 5100, why do you need to go to 1975? Meeting your parents? When, before or after you got the machine? And why didn't you say you were ON YOUR WAY to 1975 to get the 5100 earlier, rather than claim, "You're HERE to pick up an IBM 5100." There are plenty of other inconsistencies like that, including the "not knowing what UFOs are", but suspecting they're humans from the future, despite having inventing time travel, one would assume that would mean you know what to look for, what particles are emitted, in order to detect/confirm time travel. So they should be able to confirm that the UFOs at least use time travel, but no, they don't know. Then there's the problem with him just spending months with his parents in 2000; when he's from a time that is post-nuclear war; first of all, the recovery from a nuclear war is awfully quick, but wouldn't the military have picked someone who was extremely duty minded and was ordered not to waste time and interact with anyone beyond the absolute necessary? After all; how high is the temptation to stay in 1975 when you're living in a post-nuclear war hellhole, especially since you know which companies are going to be big and with a few proper stocks to buy you become rich in no time.

    It's an interesting story for sure. I was most interested in the driving part, as it seemed to parallel something that happened to myself and my family in 2016. We were driving to a holiday home 500kms away, at night, and it seemed to be taking a long time to get there. We thought we may be lost, so we pulled over in a small town opposite an IGA Supermarket, which was still open. I asked some locals if we were close to our destination, and they said yes, it's 30kms further down the road. We discussed returning in the morning to do our shopping at the IGA. The next morning, we drove back to that town, and the IGA was gone. I was told it had not been there for several years. Four of us in the car had seen it, the lights were on, and there were people inside. We arrived over an hour late that night and cannot account for the missing time.

    Love how a computer made 50 years ago or so is a key component to time travel but literally NOTHING we have nowadays is related to time in anyway possible except for touchscreen smart watches

    The IBM 5100 wasn't any kind of component necessary to time travel, it's retrieval from 1975 was simply the job that Titor was tasked with because it was needed for other purposes, unspecified in any detail except for the datetime expiration that was so well described in this video.

    Oh you have a Robie SR (Senior I believe) - I have one, I think in the basement of my parents - last time I got it working was likely 20 years ago when I got it a battery custom made. Mine has the round head with clear plastic shield in front of the blinking eyes.
