    hello i'm new here.

    i was looking at web pages about jhon Tidor (this person who claims to have come back in time from 2036) andi decided that i wanted to build a time machine.

    he said that you needed two microsingularites, and then you put electrons into them and rotated the microsingularites together at high speed to create & modify a local gravity sinusoid that replicates the effects of a kerr black hole...

    My problem: i'm a 14 year old kid with no knowledge of phsics ect (although i have a 102.4 % in algebra 1)

    so could you help me understand the basics so i can learn more and build a time machine

    thanks

    Although nobody in this forum knows it, I'll tell you a secret, but please, it's only between you and me, so don't tell this to anybody, but I come also from the future, from the year 2060. I just can tell you, don't believe to what John Tidor says, he doesn't know what he is talking about. It's not two microsingularities that you must use but three, and it is not elelctrons but protons.

    Hypnox,

    Welcome to sciforums.

    John Titor is most likely a hoax. Nobody knows how to create singularities (other than piling a whole lot of matter in one place, which would create a black hole).

    If you're really interested in time machines, see if you can get a hold of a book by Paul Davies, who is a real physicist, called <i>How to Build a Time Machine</i>.

    How did you manage that? Isn't 100% a perfect score?

    I don't know James, I once recieved a score of 104% on a Civil Service test.
    (got 10 points added to my score because of a small disability I receive for wounds
    I received in Vietnam)

    "How did you manage that? Isn't 100% a perfect score?"

    well on every test the teacher normally gives us an extra credit question, and i have everything perfect + E.C. so i have more than 100%.
    what sucks is that i only realized that i could actually do all this crap that my school gave me easily, so i had bad grades up to this year, and now i'm stuck in all these stupid classes that are easy..

    anyway, i'm hoping that one day i'll invent a time machine, so i'll just write the exact time, date & place on a peice of paper and hope that me from the future comes back and gives me weapons and stuff from the future.
    then i can pursue my dreams, eventually inventing a time machine and revising my past self (me now)

    i'll tell you if it works.

    I'm no time-traveller (unfortunately), but I feel pretty confident in saying that before you can hope to understand time-travel (in any form that it may come as), you probably need a healthy appreciation for and knowledge of calculus. You might need a bit more than some grade 9 algebra.

    How old is jhon Tidor (older than 32)?

    he say's he's two in our time, so he would be 34 in 2036, and when he revisited our time.

    people at school think i'm crazy because i told them about the war & that were all going to die in 2015 from a soviet nuke strike.

    Soviet union doesn't exist anymore' how can we all going to die in 2015 from a soviet nuke?

    Will this John Tidor the only one that will survive?

    Will he be alone to develope his time machine, or will he get help from Dr Emmet Brown?

    This is the little I know of him.

    John Titor(not his realname)
    Time machine worked off 4 cesium clocks 2 spinning black holes and really good software. The machine would sample the gravity and adjust accordingly as it travelled so that it travelled with the spot on the earth that it started at. He called it a variable gravity lock system or something like that. Also the whole princiable of the machine was the bases that the multiverse theory was true so he was really just stealling our tech from us because his was blown up in a war.
    He was sent by his goverment to find a 5100 5110 ibm one of the first portable computer and it had some intresting features that the later series dropped. Apperiantly they needed to fix the y2038 bug and wanted that pc with a few tweaks in the future but did not have one.

    His story seems to have holes but he fills them in well but skirts alot of the issues that any sane time traveller would avoid. he was not here to help anyone win money or stop wars but here to see his family and he referred to being here because of a promise to his grandfather. His whole train of thought was very different from any that I have read and he would missunderstand simple questions. I cant tell if it was an act or truth but i have found vague refrences to stuff like 911 and he was here about a year before that so who knows. To really check his validity checking for anyone on the develoment team of the 5110 that has family currently in florida that has a 6 year old(him) is a decent start but a little late seeing as he is gone all we can do is find his younger self perhaps messing our future up.

    I personally think it was false but I never actually talked with him only read a few dozen of his posts. Guess we will figure it out if the nukes fly in 11 years.

    The really HARD part is getting those microsingularities!

    I believe that in sciforums, there are a few that surely have theories on how to get these microsingularities. They don't know the math, but that's not important

    I know a bloke down the pub who can get anything for the right wedge.

    if there's a civil war in the US before the end of 2004 then he's true.

    otherwise he's a faker.
    i hope we don't all end up with muscle shirts, bandana's and mullets, scavinging the broken statue of liberty for food.

    or any of those futures. (see alot of movies, most of which are _______ 2 return of _____)

    So what if you travveled back in time and killed your parents before you were born?

    well his argument was that you dont travel back in the same universe. each timetraveller splinters off a different universe (or travels into a different universe). each universe can have a little or huge difference from the traveller's universe, depending on how "far" they univerise is from the base universe. i think he gave a few more hints about what would occur in the future (he posted i think in 2000-2001). i think one came true (mad cow)

    Hum,
    i think once managed to create rift in the space-time continuum by overclocking my 2600 MHz Athlon to < <b>snip</b> > GHz.
    Overclocking is generally understood by all to be a bad thing for the CPU and Motherboard (and it may even add to global warming), so you see, it is understandable that i haven't recreated the experiment again...

    But, i guess that the CPU clock cycle was operating so fast that it began to execute instructions before they arrived. This execution of future instructions created a small tear in the fabric of space-time itself .

    Luckily the Asrock motherboard was fitted with a COP chipset heat monitor that cut off the power supply, and also, by virtue of going so fast being able to travel backwards in time, to just before the rift was created.

    So, no embarrassing call to the insurance company...though i doubt that they would cover time- travel and cracks in space-time.

    i did a quick `google` for similar results, but revealed nothing, but i suspect that this is not a one off case;
    hum, very strange, (and i had no proof that my `expierance` had ever occured).

    <b>On the other hand</b>:

    Parallel universes, the addition of extra mass to an enclosed and very finely balanced system/universe, and the paradoxes that would occur just don`t seem right...

    Anyway, i`ll leave you to draw your own conclusions...
