How would you introduce yourself if you were a time traveler? John Titor began with his mission
and machine, straight up.
At first you think "sure, sure" but then a close look at the design suggests it just might be possible
if the things some physicists believe about the relationships between time and gravity in the
vicinity of singularities are true.

Greetings. I am a time traveler from the year 2036. I am on my
way home after getting an IBM 5100 computer system from the
year 1975.
My "time" machine is a stationary mass, temporal displacement
unit manufactured by General Electric. The unit is powered by
two, top-spin, dual-positive singularities that produce a standard,
off-set Tipler sinusoid.
I will be happy to post pictures of the unit.
John provided several graphic images to corroborate his statements, which are reproduced below.
Most are from http//www.anomalies.net/time_traveler/john.html
Note 2/20/04:
Due to heavy traffic to this page, increasing bandwidth costs have compelled me to trim and shrink most of the
graphics, but they have not been otherwise modified and they can be found elsewhere if you really want to see the
originals. If there is sufficient demand (email me) I'll make them available to you at a nominal cost to help cover
my bandwidth charges.

While none of the individual images is so compelling as to establish Titor's veracity beyond a
doubt, together they do make a compelling argument that the possibility should be considered.
Otherwise he went to an awful lot of trouble to pull off a hoax (which remains a possibility) but for
what purpose? There was never any request for money or even belief, and the guy is gone now.
Some of these images would be easier to fake than others; the photographs would have required
building a model. The technical drawings took somebody a long time to make. Above all there's
the time travel nuts and bolts that Titor presents in the context of a theory that actually makes
sense. That's the most amazing part about the story to me, good theory having testable linchpins
that nobody ever conceived before (Tipler came close but his design was so impractical as to be
impossible).
Because many physicists fully expect micro-singularities to be created at CERN soon, you'd think
the idea of using the things to create a time machine would have been floated before. It's possible

the idea may have been passed around via beers and napkins for a long time but never published,
like the Strategic Defense Initiative (Star Wars) was before Reagan announced it like it was his
own idea. If the idea had already occurred to some people but was supposed to be secret (i.e.
Manhattan Project), maybe the real reason for Titor's story was to bring it into the sunshine.
Whatever the case may be (we may never know) there's no denying Titor was the first to publicly
put forth this almost fully-formed theory, and that puts him at least as high or higher than Tipler on
the genius scale if he's a fraud, or else it means he's a smart, well-trained soldier if he's genuine.

Fig. 1 above: Scan from the technical manual. Some of the other graphics more
fully refer to the device as a General Electric Army Model C204 Gravity Distortion
Time Displacement Unit.

Fig. 2 above: Scan from the technical manual. Looks like it might be a scan from
a photocopy of a printed photograph, which would reproduce pretty terribly like
this.

Fig. 3 above: Scan from the technical manual. This should be compared with Fig.
4 below, which is presumably a scan from a different page, which has some slight
differences.
They each show a diagram of the field shapes and time vectors produced by the
unit during operation.

Fig. 4 above: Scan from the technical manual. Notice the three event horizon
labels at the bottom are mislabeled 11, 12, and 13, where in the page above they
are labeled 10, 11, 12 and correspond to the legend.
Note that this graphic includes the dimensions of 6 (vertical safe distance 6
meters), 7 (mass offset 5 meters), 8 (rear mass distribution 8 meters), and 9
(forward mass distribution 11 meters).
Interpretation of Fig. 4 legend above
1 Dual singularities in kerr field
2 Output of negative time field
3 Output of null time field
4 Output of positive time field
5 X-ray venting cone
6 Vertical safe distance (6 meters)

7 Mass offset (5 meters)

8 Rear mass dist. (8 meters)
9 Forward mass dist. (11 meters)
10 Negative time event horizon
11 Null time event horizon
12 Positive time event horizon

Fig. 5 above: Scan from the technical manual. Unfortunately some of the legend
is unreadable. Below the graphic I have recreated what I believe the text to read.

Interpretation of Fig. 5 legend above

1 Singularity drive housing

2 Singularity magnetic field coil

Although the documents posted were printed from a computer printer, is it really
that hard to believe that manual typing is just a bit more common in thirty years?
After the war, many things like manual printing machines, bicycles, sailboats and
hand tools were valued a great deal. I have noticed more people in California are
installing wood burning stoves.
I realize my claims are a bit ridiculous but my intent is not really to be believed.
However, if I had an opportunity to talk to a time traveler, I might ask questions
like: How exactly does the singularity sensor measure the expansion of the inner
event horizon or why does the reality of multiple worlds support the religious
dogma that there are no good or bad people just good and bad decisions or what
were the political motivations that changed the U.S. Constitution?

Fig. 6 above: Scan from the technical manual. Shows layout of major external
components and defines the Main and Steering singularities. Notice they are
located fore and aft of the time distortion field, which direction is delineated by the
prominent black and yellow tape (here black and white).

By using two micro-singularities in close proximity
to each other, it is possible to create, manipulate
and alter the Kerr fields to create a Tipler gravity
sinusoid.
This field can be adjusted, rotated and moved in
order to simulate the movement of mass through
a donut-shaped singularity and into an alternate
world line. Thus, safe time travel.

Fig. 7 above: Detailed device schematic, presumably another scan from the
technical manual but that is uncertain. Unfortunately the legend is missing for all
the numbered labels, or we could go a lot farther in analyzing the circuitry.

Fig. 8 above: Appears to be a scan of a black and white photo of the device. Not
from http://www.anomalies.net/time_traveler/john.html however, but from Pamela.

Fig. 9 above: Photo of the unit in the car (Corvette). The device appears to have
been moved to the passenger's side. If it weighs 500 pounds as John said,
moving it would be some feat.

Fig. 10 above: Bent laser light.

Description purportedly from John.
This is a picture taken in the fall of 2035 during my training. It shows my instructor

beaming a handheld laser outside the vehicle during operation. The beam is being
bent by the gravitational field produced outside the vehicle by the distortion unit.
The beam is visible through smoke that is coming from his cigar.

Fig. 11 above: Photo of the unit in a vehicle. This appears to not be a Corvette,
John mentioned somewhere that he swapped the Corvette for a truck. That looks
like a shotgun in the front center.

Fig. 12 above: A second photo of the unit in the truck. Paint colors match, the
padded cushion in the foreground appears to be the same as in Fig. 11, and there
is the same white box to the left of the unit in both photos.

Fig. 13 above: Third photo of the unit in the truck. The several objects in the
foreground appear to have not been moved, but the light is different as if this
photo were taken at a different time of day than Fig 12. There is a red glow
reflecting off the instruction label which could possibly be an indicator lamp. Could
the unit be turned on?
Possibly it's in some kind of testing or maintenance mode or maybe it's reflecting
light from outside the vehicle. The glow appears to be coming from a button
labelled 'emergency disconnect' (#5) in Fig. 6. But it could also be coming from
the 'emergency view screen' (#4) shown in Fig. 6 if that is perhaps a red LED
display.

Fig. 14 above: John's unit insignia. Supposedly the design is based on the field
patterns of the time distortion device, reminiscent of Figs 3 and 4 above. It's
probably unwise to try to infer too much from it since it's just a logo design.

Unknown original URL, still searching for original text, this comes from a
compilation that was downloaded

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Questions for timetravel_0 with permission to post.
Pamela:
by the way can you tell me what it feels like to time travel? when you are in the
process of doing it what does it feel like and what do you see and hear. you made
mention that you had to get use to the fields. Do you see a bright flash of light?

Timetravel_0:
Interesting first question.
The unit has a ramp up time after the destination coordinates are fed into the
computers. An audible alarm and a small light start a short countdown at which
point you should be secured in a seat. The gravity field generated by the unit
overtakes you very quickly. You feel a tug toward the unit similar to rising quickly
in an elevator and it continues to rise based on the power setting the unit is
working under. At 100% power, the constant pull of gravity can be as high as 2 Gs
or more depending on how close you are to the unit. There are no serious side
effects but I try to avoid eating before a flight.
No bright flash of light is seen. Outside, the vehicle appears to accelerate as the
light is bent around it. We have to wear sunglasses or close our eyes as this
happens due to a short burst of ultraviolet radiation. Personally I think it looks like
your driving under a rainbow. After that, it appears to fade to black and remains
totally black until the unit is turned off. We are advised to keep the windows closed
as a great deal of heat builds up outside the car.
The gravity field also traps a small air pocket around the car that acts as your only
O2 supply unless you bring compressed air with you. This pocket will only last for
a short period and a carbon sensor tells us when it's too dangerous. The C204
unit is accurate from 50 to 60 years a jump and travels at about 10 years an hour
at 100% power.
You do hear a slight hum as the unit operates and when the power changes or the
unit turns off. There is a great deal of electrical crackling noise from static
electricity.

Mathematical Background
The Lense-Thirring Effect
The Lense-Thirring Effect (AKA "rotational frame dragging") was derived by
Joseph Lense and Hans Thirring in 1918 from Einstein's theory of general
relativity which predicts that a massive rotating body will drag and distort
spacetime around itself.

There is an excellent Wikipedia article on frame dragging

at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame-dragging which discusses this effect and
provides the Kerr equations for those interested in the mathematical basis for the
operation of John Titor's gravity distortion time displacement unit.
That article uses this image to illustrate,
"The two surfaces on which the Kerr metric appears to have
singularities; the inner surface is the spherical event horizon,
whereas the outer surface is an oblate spheroid. The ergosphere
lies between these two surfaces; within this volume, the purely
temporal component gtt is negative, i.e., acts like a purely spatial
metric component. Consequently, particles within this ergosphere
must co-rotate with the inner mass, if they are to retain their timelike character."
See the article for the full mathematical treatment.
