What a treat we have for you this week start to finish.
Start is the great disaster of May 2, 1845 that started with a clown who was advertised to sail up the river Bure in a washtub pulled by four geese. It ends in tragedy and I won't be elaborating any more in writing. It's too tragic.
Middle and end is the great tale of John Titor. We laugh, we cry, we host a podcast, we travel through time at a regular pace as we listen to the episode as we tell you about John Titor (the time traveller).
John's first appearance is on Coast to Coast AM July 29, 1998. Most time travellers chose to call in on the "time line" phone line to Art Bell however, John chose the most time traveller recommended line of communication, the fax. (That's how we know he's legit).
John then pops up on an internet forum on the Time Travel institute form and later on the Art Bell BBS forum....
The episode goes on. We learn all about John, his 'name', the year he comes from and what it looks like where he comes from in the year 2036, why he needed to time travel including what he was looking for, and some other stuff about the future. You have to listen, i'm not just gonna give you that information.
We have a Q & A with John.. well, kind of. We go through some questions that were asked of John on the various forums he posted in to give you a better idea of John as a time traveler, and person. Topics include time travel ethics, mode of transportation, how time travel works, breaking time travel paradoxes, radiation and so on.
Towards the mid-middle we look at predictions made by John Titor of what the future looks like. Well we're here in the future and out look not so good. Woops, that was a spoiler. I'll just leave that in... might as well spoil everything, there's also a post office, the glaciers are doing well and what the hell is VR. Happy now?
Finally, at the end we look at the possibilities of who John could be and what EXACTLY was going on. The John Titor story is a mystery no more.
It's a time travel story for the ages.
