John Titor is the alias of someone who claimed to be a time traveler. Around 2000 - 2001 this person posted a series of messages on discussion boards telling about why he was here along with pictures of the supposed time machine, including pages of the manual. He also explained a great deal about how it worked (see the pictures http://www.anomalies.net/time_travel/john.html").

I do not have any physics education but I know the basics of most theories, and to me his explanations sounded very reasonable. I am interested what people with actual knowledge in the field would think about it.

I am not interested in hardcore debunkers that can even prove the Earth isn't actually round, only objective and honest thoughts please.

It's absolute crap and it's been discussed ad nauseum and debunked.
 
Topic locked without help?

If my Titor topic is locked because it has been debunked, I can accept that, but I would apriciate a link to the particular thread or conclusion. This doesn't help me one bit!

I find it absolutely rude and unhelpfull to just state it is crap and close any further discussion without helping me one step further...!

Please help me instead of locking or removing this thread.
 
Kirl, anytime you post a thread on an existing topic, it will be locked or deleted. Also, I wasn't being rude, I was being accurate, there's a difference.

I was going to add the links which you failed to l;ook for, but the phone rang.
 
What's more, Titor is specifically listed as a closed subject in the S&D posting guidelines.
