'Time travellers don't exist on the internet': Researchers spend months scanning the web for

Researchers from Michigan have scoured websites, search engine results and social networks dating back as far as 1996 in search of people who discussed select events before they happened.

They even asked time travellers from the future to tweet using a specific hashtag.

Yet despite comprehensive analysis of thousands of records, they were unable to find any evidence time travellers existed.

What about John Titor?

Time is only an apparency. It is always and only, Now. The past has ceased to exist, and the future exists only as a concept in our minds.

Time travel is impossible, and no, I won’t argue with you about it.

I dunno, I heard if you find a magical horse,
even an iced-tea salesman can master it ....

What about John Titor?

Exactly. Granted...quite a bit of his 'predictions' have not come true. Even so, he did also say that the 'alternate timeline' or 'deviated timeline' was the 'standard', so things might not turn out exactly as they did in his 'original' timeline.

For instance...the US (according to him) should already have erupted in a civil war. The major event that 'made' his world...a nuclear attack against us by Russia & China...would occur in Jan. 2015. It would be after this that time travel as he described it would be discovered.

A box which human reality is mired,,,

Yeah, I like it.

[BenLurkin]

Good. I’m glad you don’t intend to argue against the truth of my conclusions.

(Just kidding!)

I’m convinced time is the zeroth dimension. I am convinced that there is no such THING as going back in time, because unlike the first dimension (which you can go back and forth on), time doesn’t HAVE a back. Just a forth.

According to general relativity, a clock that is deeper in a gravity well will run slower than a clock that is further away from the gravity well. This is the gravitational time dilation effect.

So, to age slower, we should move to Mercury?

It is only NOW,,,

It keeps everything from happening at the same Time,

is that redundant?

Actually Amy Pond did tweet from the TARDIS. The Doctor complained about her tweeting from 100 million light years from home.

The only events that are happening, are happening in the Now. Events in the past have already happened, and no longer exist.

There are no events in the future, as it's only a postulated concept which hasn't yet happened.

But, being the intelligent creatures that we are, we can predict with a fair degree of certainty that there will be events in that postulated future :-)
