What is music like in the future? 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000 Most of the same music you enjoy is available on archive. 5 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:22,000 However, the days of megastars playing multiple track music and lip syncing on a... 6 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000 Like everything else, music is much less centralized. 7 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:33,000 The general trend is away from computer-generated music and more towards... 8 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000 Music is much more of a personal experience. 9 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:40,000 More people know how to read music and play together in small groups. 10 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:46,000 Q. What is the entertainment industry like in the future? 11 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000 Again, entertainment is less centralized. 12 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:57,000 There are movies and TV, but everything is distributed over the net and more people... 13 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:02,000 Q. Could you travel in time to escape your original world line? 14 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,000 Would you be looked down on? 15 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:14,000 I suppose that would work if you were trying to escape a natural disaster, but you must... 16 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000 I'm not exactly sure what you mean by being looked down on. 17 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:24,000 Q. Is there a world government in place by the year 2011? 18 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:33,000 On my world line in 2011, the United States is in the middle of a civil war that has... 19 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:40,000 Q. Earlier, you said something was wrong with UNIX on your world line. What's wrong with... 20 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,000 Yes, and with yours too. 21 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:49,000 I have to believe that there must be a UNIX expert out there someplace that can confir... 22 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:57,000 I'm not exactly sure what the technical issue is, but I believe some sort of UNIX system... 23 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:04,000 Q. Does the conflict between Arabs and Jews have anything to do with the war you... 24 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,000 Yes. 25 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,000 Q. When you first started posting, did anyone believe you? 26 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:19,000 I don't know if anyone believes me now. You must realize that I don't expect anyone to... 27 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:26,000 I enjoy these conversations. What would you expect a time traveler to say or do in you... 28 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,000 Q. How do the singularities keep from overheating in your time machine? 29 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,000 Very highly technical cooling stuff. 30 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:42,000 Q. How far have computers and softwares progressed in the future? 31 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:47,000 I would say the biggest difference is the reliability of the hardware and software. 32 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:54,000 It absolutely amazes me how willing people are here to accept computer and software... 33 00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:02,000 I was very surprised to see how common it is. You can look forward to very strignant... 34 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:11,000 Think back to the early days of the computer and how much work and cleverness it took t... 35 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,000 Has more and cheaper memory brought better programs or just more programs? 36 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:29,000 As far as technical specifics, I'm afraid I can't go into so much detail. However, I w... 37 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:36,000 Q. Please explain how magnetic fields and tachyons are involved with your machine. 38 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:43,000 I'm afraid my notebook on Maxwell's equations isn't with me, and I must say again that I... 39 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:50,000 As far as tachyons go, it is my understanding that they cannot exist at all unless they ... 40 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:58,000 As far as time travel goes, I'm afraid tachyons are merely useful for describing... 41 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,000 I will post again as soon as I get a chance. 42 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:13,000 December 10, 2000. I will try to answer all your questions. However, I have noticed th... 43 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:17,000 Most of the following questions I have answered at length in previous posts. 44 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:26,000 I understand how important it is to you to have these answers when new people read... 45 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000 Any suggestions would be appreciated. 46 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,000 Q. Who won the Super Bowl in 2001? 47 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,000 I do not answer questions like this, although I don't really know the motivation for the... 48 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:46,000 I can guess if a time traveler had knowledge of your future and you can only ask one... 49 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:52,000 Besides, can you tell me if it rained in New York on June 4, 1932? 50 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000 You are from the future, so you should know that. 51 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,000 Q. How can you travel in time since the Earth changes position? 52 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,000 How do you avoid physical objects at your destination? How can you breathe? 53 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:13,000 This is actually a very good question, and parts and pieces of the answer are scatter... 54 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:18,000 I am often surprised it is not the first one asked. You are correct. 55 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:25,000 The problem is actually the most difficult part of time travel, although some of your... 56 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,000 The problem is real. 57 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:33,000 Inside this displacement unit are a series of very sensitive clocks and gravity sensors. 58 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000 This system is called the VGL, Variable Gravity Lock. 59 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:49,000 In simple terms, before the unit leaves a world line, it takes a base reading of the... 60 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:56,000 Although the temporal physics of this statement are wrong, in effect, it holds y... 61 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:05,000 It periodically checks to see that the field has not varied. If it does, it stops and... 62 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,000 Buildings and other terrain features are avoided in the same way. 63 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:16,000 Yes, we do bring oxygen in the vehicle with us, but we do not lose atmospheric pressure. 64 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Q. If the time machine was on for a split second and then returned, wouldn't it appe... 65 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,000 Please see VGL system above. 66 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:37,000 Also, please be aware that from the viewpoint of the time traveler, the displacement uni... 67 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000 The viewer does not experience this. 68 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,000 Think of it as a GO! substatement in a computer program. 69 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,000 Q. What type of money do you use in the future? 70 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000 It's not very different than it is now. 71 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:58,000 Yes, we have money and credit cards. However, like everything else, the monetary system ... 72 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,000 Banking is based mostly around the community structure. 73 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,000 There are no multinational banking or computerized economic systems. 74 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,000 There are also no income taxes. 75 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,000 Some of the larger farm communities use electronic markers and fences. 76 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,000 I'm not a farmer, so I don't have any or I don't have much detail about that. 77 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,000 Q. Is the GPS system still used in the future? 78 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,000 Oh, yes. In fact, the unit I have with me works here. 79 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000 I'm not sure why that surprises me. 80 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,000 There are also a great many communications and Internet satellite systems. 81 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,000 Q. Do you still use the American flag? 82 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000 What does it look like in the future? 83 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000 Yes, we still have the flag. 84 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,000 There is a debate about changing it from 50 stars to five. 85 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,000 Q. Do any states have new names? 86 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,000 Not that I can think of. 87 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,000 I am aware that some smaller towns changed their names after the war, 88 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,000 and most universities have the word fort before them on my world line. 89 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:10,000 Q. How much training is required before you can time travel? 90 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,000 Can you make any repairs to your time machine? 91 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:19,000 I started training on the recommendation of my PS officer when I got out of school in 34. 92 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,000 I graduated in March of 35. 93 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:28,000 Actual hands-on training started soon after that, and I left in April of 2036. 94 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,000 No, there are not very many repairs I can make to the unit. 95 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:36,000 The unit is built very well, but the tolerances are very small. 96 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:42,000 I could probably repair the electrical system, and it will accept inputs from old... 97 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,000 Q. Is it still safe to fish in the future? 98 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000 Yes, we can fish. 99 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:53,000 There are some areas that are still too dangerous, so we don't fish in those areas. 100 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,000 Q. Have any time travelers come to your world line in 2036? 101 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,000 Not that I'm aware of, but I accept the possibility. 102 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,000 Q. Is there public transportation in the future? 103 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000 A high-speed train system connects the larger cities. 104 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:14,000 Roads are still used for cars, and many people ride horses and bikes. 105 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,000 Q. What items will you take back with you? 106 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,000 Books. 107 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,000 I'm also taking copies of family photos that were lost during the war. 108 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,000 Q. How long have you been here? 109 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,000 That I must keep to myself right now. 110 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:37,000 Q. Don't you worry about the government finding you? 111 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:43,000 Not really. In order to find me, they would have to believe time travel is possible. 112 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:48,000 Q. Are you taking any pictures and videos? 113 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,000 Oh, yes. 114 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:57,000 Q. Can you give us any details on natural disasters and temperatures in the future? 115 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000 That's one area I decided not to talk about, sorry. 116 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,000 The average temperature worldwide is a bit cooler. 117 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,000 Q. Are any other time travelers from the future with you now? 118 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,000 No. They are off doing something else, I'm sure. 119 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:20,000 Q. Is time travel discussed on the web in the future? 120 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,000 Do you recognize any websites now from the future? 121 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,000 Time travel is a major part of social discussion. 122 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,000 I'd have to check when I get back. 123 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,000 Most of the larger servers that were in the major cities were lost or destroyed. 124 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:42,000 Q. Is there any strange connection between you and the John Teter that was here on th... 125 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,000 What do your parents tell him about you? 126 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000 He calls me uncle. 127 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000 Yes, there is a connection. 128 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000 He feels like a younger brother. 129 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:58,000 Sometimes I get mixed emotions watching him and I realize I'm watching the origins of ... 130 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,000 I tend to playfully criticize my father about that. 131 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000 December 13, 2000. 132 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000 Well, it looks like the election is almost over. 133 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,000 I have been quite busy in the last few days and I appreciate everyone's patience. 134 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000 I should be thanking you for listening. 135 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:21,000 Even if everything I have said before means nothing, I expect it has at least been... 136 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,000 I went through the postings looking for questions I have not addressed yet. 137 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,000 I hope I got to all of them. 138 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:33,000 I give my email remotely through about three different systems and I use one of your... 139 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,000 In a few days, I would like to send Pamela a list of questions on my own. 140 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:45,000 As you know, one of my areas of expertise is in history and the information I have... 141 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:51,000 Although I am not leaving right away, I would like to include some of your thoughts in m... 142 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:56,000 Q. Is it possible for someone who reads this to invent time travel? 143 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:02,000 When John leaves, as one will remember him, no one will remember him and this will all... 144 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,000 This statement is quite insightful. 145 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:13,000 One of the reasons I have been communicating this way is so that others who I have... 146 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:21,000 Q. Won't a small divergence between world lines cause everything to look different a... 147 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:27,000 The divergence measurement refers to the local gravitational field compared to the... 148 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,000 It is merely an empirical indicator of overall change in a world line. 149 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:43,000 Some things that are quite different on one world line have very little effect as time... 150 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,000 World lines' changes are not exponential. 151 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:53,000 They act more like chaotic attractors with varying effects depending on the size and... 152 00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:00,000 Q. If multiple world theory is correct and there are two of you, one of you has to be... 153 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,000 I find it unsettling that you look at us as representatives of the people from the past. 154 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:11,000 One reason I think you may be a time traveler is because I don't understand or relate to... 155 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:18,000 You are correct. This world line is not mine, but it looks very similar. 156 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,000 It may be compared to reading two books that are the same. 157 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:26,000 I can jump back and forth between them and still see the same story. 158 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:34,000 I do not consider you true representatives of my world line, but I do know something of ... 159 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:43,000 In consideration of Everett Wheeler, the reason we don't know if Schroedinger's cat... 160 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:51,000 Q. I think Russia is very likely to attack the United States. It's hard to imagine be... 161 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,000 You were also correct, but I want to add a twist to your thinking. 162 00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:01,000 Russia's enemy is the United States government, not you, the average person. 163 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:07,000 Q. If this world line is 2% divergent from your world line, how do you get home? 164 00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,000 If you go forward from here, won't the divergence approach infinity? 165 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:17,000 Yes, this is true. If I go forward on this world line, the future will not be my future. 166 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:24,000 I get home by going back to 1975 before I arrived and then going forward to 2036. 167 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:33,000 Your deductions are quite accurate. It's possible to go forward to your 2036 and it... 168 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:40,000 Q. I have an old working IBM computer. Maybe I should stash it away for 30 years and se... 169 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:46,000 Toss it. The 5100 is the interesting machine. 170 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:52,000 Q. Does the current relationships between Arabs and Jews have anything to do with th... 171 00:14:52,000 --> 00:15:00,000 Real disruptions in world events begin with the destabilization of the West as a resul... 172 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:06,000 This becomes apparent around 2004, as civil unrest develops near the next presidential... 173 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:13,000 The Jewish population in Israel is not prepared for a true offensive war.

What happened at the end of the world line at the edge of the super universe? 286 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:19,000 3. If there are infinite world lines and infinite possibilities and an edge to the... 287 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:25,000 doesn't that mean occurring events on world lines are staggered as they reach the edge? 288 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,000 Time could end at any moment without warning. 289 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,000 Happy New Year, everyone! 290 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:37,000 Q.

Young people should look forward to the future while older people don't see much o... 296 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:12,000 I think it's pointless to worry about politics if we're all doomed. 297 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:18,000 It saddens me that you do not realize your true worth as a keeper of information and... 298 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:23,000 Perhaps the end that we fear will open your eyes to your true value as an individual. 299 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:29,000 Young people need wisdom. The captain of the ship knows where the lifeboats are. 300 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:35,000 Q. In order for CERN to make a black hole, they would have to travel faster than light. 301 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:40,000 I'm pretty sure they have a number of experiments going on at some time at CERN. 302 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,000 The one I'm referring to involves very high energies using protons. 303 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:52,000 From my historical perspective on my world line, I do recall the issue was a point of... 304 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,000 There were some scientists who thought the experiments were too dangerous to try. 305 00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:04,000 The time travel I refer to does not require faster than light travel, and due to multi... 306 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:08,000 Natural time machines do exist. 307 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:15,000 I fear our conversation is in danger of turning to conflict due to an effect that ... 308 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:25,000 I realize what I'm saying is quite hard to swallow, and it causes debate, whether... 309 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:32,000 It is even more difficult when you come into the middle of a conversation or a series o... 310 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:38,000 Your points are all quite valid, and I have discussed them at length on this and other... 311 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:47,000 I do not wish to antagonize you. However, we both know the Tipler Cylinder is only a... 312 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:55,000 As to your other comments, again, they are all true as defined by the limits of... 313 00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:00,000 It does not account for travel between world lines. 314 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:06,000 I have never claimed to be a physicist or an expert on what the CERN laboratory is doin... 315 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:13,000 so I feel it pointless to argue about what they may be doing in the future or what... 316 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:20,000 My comment about the CERN labs are on the reference to the particle accelerators in... 317 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:27,000 The major physics breakthroughs for controlling gravity distortion does happen... 318 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,000 Heck, we haven't even touched on Z field compression yet. 319 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:36,000 I suppose I could say that I was the one who traveled in time and convinced them to cha... 320 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:42,000 but even I would have a hard time believing that one, and I do not wish to insult your... 321 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:49,000 Thank you for trying to answer these questions from December 30th, 2000, but I... 322 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,000 I thought I would share with you things we wonder about. 323 00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:00,000 Your logic about me is quite correct, but again, I must state that I am not trying t... 324 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:05,000 As far as evidence goes, I have decided to try an experiment with you that may be mor... 325 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,000 It involves the travel of information at faster than light. 326 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:14,000 In fact, I have dropped at least three little gems like this no one has even picked up on. 327 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,000 You said you were confused by the 5100 story. 328 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000 I will explain further. 329 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:31,000 In 2036, it was discovered, or at least known after testing, that the 5100 computer was... 330 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:35,000 and still be able to create new code in APL and BASIC. 331 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,000 This is the reason we needed it in 2036. 332 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:47,000 However, IBM never published that information because it would have probably destroyed a... 333 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:52,000 In fact, I would bet the engineers were probably told to keep their mouth shut. 334 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:59,000 Therefore, if I were not here now telling you this, the information would not be discove... 335 00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:06,000 Yes, I would bet there is someone out there who can do the research and discover that ... 336 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:11,000 There must be an old IBM engineer out there someplace that worked on the 5100. 337 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:16,000 They just might not have ever asked if I hadn't pointed it out.
