Can you tell us any of your memories from 2036? 42 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,000 I remember 2036 very clearly. 43 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:16,000 It is difficult to describe 2036 in detail without spending a great deal of time... 44 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:24,000 In 2036, I live in central Florida with my family and I'm currently stationed at an a... 45 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000 A world war in 2015 killed nearly 3 billion people. 46 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000 The people that survived grew closer together. 47 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000 Life is centered on the family and then the community. 48 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:41,000 I cannot imagine living even a few hundred miles away from my parents. 49 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:47,000 There is no large industrial complex creating masses of useless food and recreational... 50 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,000 Food and livestock is grown and sold locally. 51 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,000 People spend much more time reading and talking together. 52 00:05:54,000 --> 00:06:01,000 Religion is taken seriously and everyone can multiply and divide in their heads. 53 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:08,000 Q. Can you post more of the operations manual for the time machine? 54 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:16,000 I will consider it, but I do not expect they are worth anything to most people except a... 55 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:24,000 Q. Can you meet yourself on another world line? What would happen if you did? 56 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,000 It has always surprised me why that concept is so hard for people to imagine and accept. 57 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:35,000 Nothing would happen. The universe would not end and there are no paradox problems that... 58 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000 Temporal space-time is made up of every possible quantum state. 59 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,000 The Everett-Wheeler model is correct. 60 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000 I have met and are seeing myself twice on different world lines. 61 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,000 The first was a training mission and the second is now. 62 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:59,000 I was born in 1998, so the other me is too on this world line. 63 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:08,000 There is a saying where I come from. Every possible thing that can happen or will hap... 64 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:14,000 Q. Describe how your world line is different from ours. 65 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,000 For starters, the fact that I am here makes it different. 66 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,000 I have also noticed little things like news events that are slightly different. 67 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:29,000 I would guess the temporal difference between this world line and my original is about 1... 68 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:37,000 Of course, the longer I am here, the larger that divergence becomes from my point of... 69 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,000 Q. What kind of car is in the picture you posted? 70 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,000 It's a 1967 Chevrolet. 71 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,000 Q. Can you control time travel with the machine you have? 72 00:07:52,000 --> 00:08:01,000 Yes, it can be controlled. However, the distortion unit has operational limits. 73 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:05,000 Imagine your path through time is through a cone. 74 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:11,000 The farther away from the center of the cone, the more difference you will see in the wo... 75 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:16,000 The C204 begins to break away at about 60 years. 76 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:23,000 This means the level of confidence drops rapidly after 60 years of travel and the... 77 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:29,000 In other words, if I wanted to go back 2,000 years and meet Christ, 78 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:35,000 there is a good chance I would end up on a world line where he was never born. 79 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:42,000 The computer units and gravity sensors record your trip and you are able to return to yo... 80 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,000 I am aware that research is being done on faster units with more accurate clocks. 81 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:54,000 I imagine they will be able to go back farther with a higher degree of divergence... 82 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:59,000 Q. Does anything on the world line get to you? 83 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:07,000 If you mean mentally, there are many things that bother me here, but being with my... 84 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:12,000 Physically, the only thing really wrong is the number of colds I get. 85 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,000 Q. Can you return to your home? 86 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,000 Yes. 87 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,000 Q. Do you have to protect yourself from radiation? 88 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:31,000 I'm not sure what radiation you mean. If you mean from the unit, it vents X-ray and gam... 89 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,000 As long as you stay away from that, you should be okay. 90 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:40,000 I keep a radiation detector with me to check my environment and make sure the unit isn'... 91 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:46,000 Q. Can you describe the light you see when the machine is on? 92 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:53,000 It first appears as if you were driving under a tunnel and then you find yourself in tot... 93 00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:00,000 Q. Does anyone know where you are? Can you communicate with the future? 94 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:06,000 No. They do not know where I am and I cannot communicate with them. 95 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,000 From their point of view, I will return almost exactly at the same time and moment... 96 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:17,000 From their viewpoint, I will only have aged more than expected. 97 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:25,000 Q. Is there anything else to add about what time travel looks like? 98 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:32,000 While the machine is on, everything is black. When the machine is turned off, it is the... 99 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:38,000 It appears you are driving out from under a bridge. 100 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:46,000 To tell you the truth, I'm usually sleeping when the unit turns off, but yes, it does... 101 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:52,000 Q. What's the main technical problem when traveling in time? 102 00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:00,000 The hard part of traveling through time is not the bending of gravity, but the plotti... 103 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:05,000 This is done through a system called VGL, Variable Gravity Lock. 104 00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:11,000 Basically, the unit takes a reading of the local gravity and samples it during the tr... 105 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:18,000 If the gravity is too far off, the unit stops or reverses itself to the last sample peri... 106 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:25,000 If there is some sort of failure, the unit shuts down and drops out to whenever you m... 107 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:32,000 Q. Are there any effects from the machine on the environment when you use it? 108 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:40,000 The only real physical trace is a large chunk of ground missing from the point of origin... 109 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:46,000 The gravity field surrounds a small portion of the earth under you and takes it along ... 110 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000 There is really no way around this. 111 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:54,000 I would quite say it scoops up the ground cleanly. 112 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,000 It sort of vibrates it loose and takes it along for the ride. 113 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:05,000 It looks like someone raked the ground an inch or so deep with a small hand hoe or... 114 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:09,000 November 6, 2000 115 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:16,000 Perhaps it's a bit easier to understand why time travelers do not reveal themselves. 116 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,000 Yes, you can travel forward in time. 117 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000 I first saw the car in 2036. 118 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,000 The idea was to find a vehicle that would not draw attention for that time period. 119 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:38,000 Unfortunately, there were not very many suitable vehicles around in 2036 and I sol... 120 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,000 Q. You do not rewrite history. 121 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:47,000 I can only affect what happens here just as easily as you can. 122 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:56,000 Why do people in this time period worry so much about time travelers destroying their... 123 00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,000 My goal is not to be believed. 124 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:08,000 Most people do not take news of the war very well, but I find that everyone believes it... 125 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:21,000 Even in your own history, are not great inventions and discoveries made during a t... 126 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:27,000 No, I do not work for any large industrial electronics company or any other company. 127 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,000 Are stock tips really the first thing you want to know about in the future? 128 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,000 As a representative of your time period, do you realize what that says about you? 129 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:49,000 You should probably know that this time is not remembered for its selflessness, chari... 130 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,000 Why would I want to talk to you? 131 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:58,000 Don't you believe you have something interesting or worthwhile to say to someon... 132 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,000 No, the ice caps are not melting any faster than they are now. 133 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,000 There is far less smog and industrial waste in 2036. 134 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,000 You asked about the North Polar Ice Pack. 135 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,000 I never said the environment wasn't a problem. 136 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,000 Doesn't water expand when it freezes? 137 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,000 If the polar ice caps melted, wouldn't sea levels go down? 138 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:26,000 I don't know if there's enough ice for this to make a difference, and I'm not an exper... 139 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,000 Yes, I realize people become hostile. 140 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,000 I don't expect anyone to believe me, and I have nothing to sell. 141 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000 I take no offense by it. 142 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:45,000 Just out of curiosity, if you were a time traveler, what do you think it would take ... 143 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:51,000 I suppose we could agree that no particular era in history is famous for its developme... 144 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:58,000 But just once, I would like to hear a question like, what is family like in the... 145 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,000 How does society deal with poverty? 146 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,000 Is AIDS, abortion, and drug use still a problem? 147 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000 Why don't I give you a stock tip? 148 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:18,000 The money you make would dilute the intelligence and forethought that a smart... 149 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:26,000 If I told you how to get rich, I would be taking money from them and giving it to you. 150 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,000 Getting back to my proper universe is tricky, but possible. 151 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:35,000 Yes, another drunk would take me to a different family. 152 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:42,000 When traveling to other world lines, there is a system of clocks and gravity sensors in ... 153 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,000 It's called VGL. 154 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:54,000 If a cement block were there, the machine would backtrack until it sensed relative... 155 00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:03,000 A great deal of time and effort goes into picking just the right spot, since relativ... 156 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:08,000 Please keep in mind a couple of points as I answer your questions. 157 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000 First, I am not a physicist. 158 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:17,000 Time travel is only a tool that allowed me to do my job in 1975. 159 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:22,000 Most airline pilots are probably not aerospace engineers. 160 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000 Second, let me give you an example of our position. 161 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:32,000 Imagine you live in the year 1900 and a time traveler tends to explain how a gen engine... 162 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:41,000 Even though the invention of the airplane is only a decade in the future, he would have... 163 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:46,000 Then he would have to outline the mechanics of how the engine works. 164 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:53,000 As amazing as it would sound, the jet would be invented about 30 years later. 165 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,000 Time travel is achieved by altering gravity. 166 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,000 The concept is already proven by atomic clock experiments. 167 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:06,000 The closer an observer is to a gravity source of high mass, the slower time passes for... 168 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:13,000 Traveling at high speeds mimics this effect, which equals the twin paradox of faster th... 169 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:19,000 However, this type of gravity manipulation is not sufficient to alter your world line. 170 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,000 The basic math to alter world lines exists right now. 171 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:30,000 Tipler first described a working time machine through his theory of massive rotating... 172 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:38,000 Certain types of black holes also exhibit the time machine, time travel abilities of Tip... 173 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:44,000 Roy Kerr was one of the first to describe the dual event horizons of a rotating black hole. 174 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:51,000 As with Tipler cylinders, it was possible to travel on a time like trip through a Kerr... 175 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:57,000 and end up in a different world line without being squished by the gravity of the... 176 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:07,000 The mass and gravitational field of a microsingularity can then be manipulated b... 177 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:14,000 By rotating two electroelectric microsingularities at high speed, 178 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:22,000 it is possible to create and modify a local gravity sinusoid that replicates the effec... 179 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:29,000 For those asking, how come a microsingularity doesn't swallow the earth or want to know... 180 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:34,000 stability, mass, temperature, and resulting Hawking's radiation for such a thing, 181 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,000 those details I must keep to myself. 182 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:48,000 Yes, you can travel into the future and it takes less energy than going into the past. 183 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:53,000 The computer system is connected to the unit through an electrical bus. 184 00:18:53,000 --> 00:19:00,000 There are actually three computers linked together that take the same signals from t... 185 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:08,000 They use a border error correcting protocol that checks the integrity of the data and... 186 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,000 I am not aware of any physical change to my DNA or aura. 187 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:17,000 I do, however, seem to be more susceptible to colds. 188 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,000 Yes, you will remember me if you want to. 189 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,000 World lines do not change. 190 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:29,000 That way, and I will only become an insignificant part of your history. 191 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:37,000 I would equate the future distortion units to current jet engines. 192 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,000 The first one worked great, but they can always make it better. 193 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:45,000 The C204 unit used four cesium clocks. 194 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,000 The C206 uses six cesium clocks. 195 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,000 But they use an optical system to check the oscillation frequency. 196 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,000 This makes the world line divergence confidence much higher. 197 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:02,000 Yes, I believe in Jesus Christ and we pray to God in churches. 198 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,000 There are some differences you may be interested in. 199 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,000 Religion is a major part of people's life in 2036. 200 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,000 Pain and change tend to bring people together and closer to God. 201 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,000 However, religion is far more personal than it is now. 202 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:21,000 There are no huge centralized religions and people talk openly about their beliefs. 203 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,000 It might also interest you to know that the day of worship is Saturday, 204 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,000 the day God meant to be the Sabbath day, 205 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:32,000 and the Ten Commandments have been restored to the ten that God gave us. 206 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000 Life is much more world in the future, 207 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,000 but high technology is used to communicate and travel. 208 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,000 People raise a great deal of their own food and do much more farm work. 209 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,000 Yes, compared to now, we do work long hours. 210 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,000 After the war, my father made a living selling oranges up and down the west coast... 211 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:58,000 My closest friends raised horses and another works for a company that maintains wireles... 212 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:04,000 Life has changed so much over my lifetime that it's hard to pin down a normal day. 213 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:08,000 When I was 13, I was a soldier. 214 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,000 As a teenager, I helped my dad haul cargo. 215 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:17,000 I went to college when I was 31 and I was recruited to time travel shortly after that. 216 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:22,000 Again, I suppose an average day in 2036 is like an average day on the farm. 217 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,000 Yes, there is a post office. The internet is still alive and well in the future. 218 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:31,000 People spend much more time talking because life is more centered on the community. 219 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:35,000 I've noticed the same effect here when the power goes off. 220 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,000 People tend to come out of their homes and actually spend time with their neighbors. 221 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,000 There is a lot more personal trust and less paranoia. 222 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:49,000 When I'm with my parents, I live in a community made up of tree houses on a larg... 223 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,000 The river floods sometimes and we have access to the Gulf. 224 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:58,000 Most of our neighbors make a living off the sea or in moving cargo by boat. 225 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,000 There is a civil war in the United States that starts in 2005. 226 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,000 That conflict flares up and down for 10 years. 227 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:12,000 In 2015, Russia launches a nuclear strike against the major cities in the United... 228 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,000 which is the other side of the civil war from my perspective. 229 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:21,000 Against China and Europe, the United States counterattacks. 230 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:30,000 The US cities are destroyed along with the A.F.E., the American Federal Empire, aka D... 231 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,000 Thus, we in the country won. 232 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,000 The European Union and China were also destroyed. 233 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:41,000 Russia's now our largest trading partner in the capital of the US was moved to Omaha,... 234 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,000 No new information there on UFOs and aliens. 235 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,000 I also find that an interesting subject. 236 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:55,000 Personally, I think UFOs might be time travelers with very sophisticated distorti... 237 00:22:55,000 --> 00:23:01,000 One of the biggest reasons food production is localized is because the environment is... 238 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:04,000 We are making huge strides in getting it cleaned up. 239 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:10,000 Water is produced on a community level and we do not eat meat that we raise ourselves. 240 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:16,000 Yes, genetic engineering is used, but it's like any other technology. 241 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:21,000 It can be good and bad. 242 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:26,000 One thing we did not do was manufacture more hybrid seeds. 243 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,000 What are you people thinking? 244 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000 I am a Christian agnostic. 245 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:34,000 I do not believe faith alone is enough to get us back to God. 246 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:41,000 I'm not sure what happens when we die, but I'm pretty sure it's not a walk in the park. 247 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,000 Space travel, we are working on it. 248 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:50,000 Q. What future technologies can you tell us about? 249 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,000 I hesitate to answer, but I'll give a bit. 250 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,000 Hydrogen fuel cells are more efficient solar cells and big deals. 251 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,000 Computer technology and software get much better. 252 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,000 My greatest joy is sailing. 253 00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:08,000 For fun, I enjoy swimming, playing cards, reading, playing games on the net, and... 254 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:13,000 As a community, we celebrate much more and have bonfires and dances. 255 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:18,000 My hobby is sorting through old magazines and video of life before the war. 256 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:23,000 After the war, early new communities gathered around the current universities. 257 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:25,000 That's where the libraries were. 258 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:30,000 I went to school at Fort UF, which is now called the University of Florida. 259 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:39,000 Not too much is different, except the military is a large part of people's lives... 260 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,000 Most of my memories growing up are not fond. 261 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000 Life was very hard. 262 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,000 Simple things made me happy, like hugging my mother and father. 263 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000 Yes, we have cameras, more digital. 264 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,000 Film is used like painting is today. 265 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,000 No hologram cameras, though. 266 00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,000 Yes, we have phones, but the service is through the web. 267 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:07,000 Most people, most power generation is localized. 268 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,000 It amazes me how much power is wasted now. 269 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,000 Yes, solar is big. 270 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:20,000 There is thought that a singularity generator could also be used, but most people are... 271 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:25,000 The elderly are highly revered and looked after on a community level. 272 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,000 So are orphans. 273 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,000 There are always something people can do, no matter what. 274 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,000 The idea of avoiding work is looked down upon. 275 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,000 Everyone pulls together to keep the community strong. 276 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,000 Hats are more common in the future, and flashy colors are less common. 277 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:45,000 Dress is much more functional, and we dress up whenever we get a chance. 278 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:50,000 I have noticed that no one in this time dresses for occasions, even when they have... 279 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,000 Why do people wear shorts to church? 280 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:59,000 We do not spend nearly the amount of time on our hair as people do now. 281 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,000 Women like to wear their hair longer, and men have it much shorter. 282 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:08,000 Both sexes shave it all off when they are in active military service. 283 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,000 There is far less medical treatment in the future. 284 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,000 People die when they know it is time to die. 285 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:20,000 No lasers, genetic machines and cloning organs are the new techs in the future. 286 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:23,000 The constitution was changed after the war. 287 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:28,000 We have five presidents that are voted in and out on different term periods. 288 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:34,000 The vice president is the president of the Senate, and they are voted in separately. 289 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,000 We have cars, just not a whole bunch of them. 290 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,000 There is public transportation from city to city. 291 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:45,000 If I could bring some material thing back to your time from 2036, 292 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,000 it would be a copy of the new U.S. Constitution. 293 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:56,000 Yes, you can travel to the future that was 0.05 seconds ahead of now, but not with my... 294 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:01,000 The C204 uses the second as the basic unit of measure. 295 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:08,000 The C206 may be capable of 0.05 seconds. 296 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000 Q. 297 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:15,000 If you arrived a fraction of a second in the past or future on another world line, 298 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,000 would we even know that you arrived? 299 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:22,000 No, you would not, but the U on the world line would. 300 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:27,000 It is believed there is some sort of measurable quantum difference in world lines. 301 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:32,000 I am not an expert on that, so I can offer little information. 302 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:35,000 You would be welcome in my home. 303 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000 November 8, 2000. 304 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:39,000 Q. 305 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:44,000 What is the purpose of time travel is on your world line? 306 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:50,000 In 2036, a great deal of effort is going into repairing our environment. 307 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:55,000 I was sent to 1975 to get a computer system and take it back to 2036. 308 00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:03,000 Time travel is not a secret in 2036, and I expect it will become more common. 309 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:04,000 Q. 310 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,000 Why is time travel used? 311 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,000 Right now, it's used to get information or items that would be helpful 312 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,000 in getting a post-World War III world back to normal conditions. 313 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,000 There are seven other time travelers in my unit. 314 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,000 Q. 315 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:23,000 Where do time travelers go? 316 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:28,000 Right now, most of our practical missions are from 1960 to 1980. 317 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,000 There is a great deal of research into later and future periods, 318 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:37,000 but the farther you go, the lower the divergence confidence of the world line. 319 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:38,000 Q. 320 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,000 Are all the time machines you know about being used? 321 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,000 Yes. 322 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:45,000 Q. 323 00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:50,000 What type of vehicle will you use to go back since you sold the other car? 324 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,000 I have a 1987 four-wheel drive. 325 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:59,000 The vehicle needs a strong suspension system to handle the weight of the distortion unit. 326 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,000 Q. 327 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:05,000 Are you able to take other people back with you when you leave? 328 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,000 Yes. 329 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,000 November 11, 2000. 330 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,000 Q. 331 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,000 When you change cars, do you readjust the time machine? 332 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,000 Yes, but it's a function of the VGL system. 333 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,000 A gravity baseline is taken and rechecked every time the unit is used. 334 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:27,000 A new vehicle would alter the gravity signature. 335 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,000 Q. 336 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,000 How is the singularity maintained? 337 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,000 I am not a physicist, so I cannot answer that to your level of sophistication. 338 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:41,000 The singularities are held in an enclosed magnetic field. 339 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:42,000 Q. 340 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:47,000 Can you travel between other dimensions with the time machine?

What would happen if your device was used inside a building? 546 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,000 It might not be as destructive as you think. 547 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:43,000 Depending on how close any object is to the field, it might not do any damage at all... 548 00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:50,000 Q. What would happen if something touched the distortion field when it was turned on? 549 00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:55,000 It would be quickly spread out over the lateral length of the gravity field. 550 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:59,000 Imagine being squished and stretched at the same time. 551 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:05,000 Imagine anything left after that would vaporize and generate static electricity. 552 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:10,000 Q. What is the temperature around the time machine when it is on? 553 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:11,000 Very hot. 554 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:17,000 Depending on the power setting, 100 to 120 degrees is average. 555 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:22,000 Q. What position is the car in when the time machine is on? 556 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:26,000 The car is off and the brake on. 557 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:31,000 Q.
