Not only was the monthly show a critical success, but the volume of submissions was astounding. Letters, emails, faxes poured in on a daily basis- more than 4, of them by the time the project celebrated its first birthday. Everyone, it seemed, had a story to tell. I Thought My Father Was God gathers of these personal, true-life accounts in a single, powerful volume. They come from people of all ages, backgrounds, and walks of life.
Half of the contributors are men; half are women. They live in cities, suburbs, and rural areas, and they come from 42 different states. Most of the stories are short, vivid bits of narrative, combining the ordinary and the extraordinary, and most describe a single incident in the writer's life.
Some are funny, like the story of how a Ku Klux Klan member's beloved dog rushed out into the street during the annual KKK parade and unmasked his owner as the whole town looked on. Some are mysterious, like the story of a woman who watched a white chicken walk purposefully down a street in Portland, Oregon, hop up some porch steps, knock on the door-and calmly enter the house. Many involve the closing of a loop, like the one about the woman who lost her mother's ashes in a burglary and recovered them five years later from the mortuary of a local church.
Hilarious blunders, wrenching coincidences, brushes with death, miraculous encounters, improbable ironies, premonitions, sorrows, pains, dreams-this singular collection encompasses an extraordinary range of settings, time periods, and subjects.

By rotating two electric microsigularities at high speed, it is possible to create and modify a local gravity sinusoid that replicates the affects of a Kerr black hole. For those asking how come a microsingularity doesn't swallow the Earth or want to know details about the size, stability, mass, temperature and resulting Hawking radiation from such a thing, those details I must keep to myself.
Yes, you can travel into the future and it takes less energy than going into the past. The computer system is connected to the unit through an electrical bus. There are actually three computers linked together that take the same signals from the gravity sensors and clocks. They use a Borda error correcting protocol that checks the integrity of the data and trips the VGL system.
I am not aware of any physical change to my DNA or "aura". I do however seem to be more susceptible to colds. Yes, you will remember me if you want to. Worldlines do not change that way and I will only become an insignificant part of your history. November 07, I would equate the "future" GE distortion units to their current jet engines. The first one worked great but they can always make it better. The C unit uses 4 cesium clocks. The C uses 6 cesium clocks but they use an optical system to check the oscillation frequency.
This makes the worldline divergence confidence much higher. There are some differences you may be interested in. Religion is a major part of people's life in Pain and change tend to bring people together and closer to God. However, religion is far more personal than it is now. There are no huge, centralized religions and people talk openly about their beliefs. It might also interest you to know that the day of worship is Saturday, the day God meant to be the Sabbath and the 10 commandments have been restored to the "10" that God gave us.
Life is much more rural in the future but "high" technology is used to communicate and travel. People raise a great deal of their own food and do more "farm" work.
Yes, compared to now, we do work long hours. After the war, my father made a living selling oranges up and down the West coast of Florida. My closest friend raises horses and another works for a company that maintains "wireless" Internet nodes.
Life has changed so much over my lifetime that it's hard to pin down a "normal" day. When I was 13, I was a soldier. As a teenager, I helped my dad haul cargo. I went to college when I was 31 and I was recruited to "time travel" shortly after that. Again, I suppose an average day in is like an average day on the farm. Yes, there is a post office. The Internet is still alive and well in the future. People spend more time talking because life is more centered on the community.
I've noticed the same type of effect here when the power goes off. People tend to come out of their homes and actually spend time with their neighbors. There is a lot more personal trust and less paranoia. When I'm with my parents, I live in a community made up of "tree houses" on a large river in Florida. The river floods sometimes and we have access to the Gulf. Most of our neighbors make a living off the sea or in moving cargo by boat. There is a civil war in the United States that starts in That conflict flares up and down for 10 years.
In , Russia launches a nuclear strike against the major cities in the United States which is the "other side" of the civil war from my perspective , China and Europe. The United States counter attacks. The European Union and China were also destroyed.
No new information there on UFOs and aliens. I find that an interesting subject myself. Personally, I think "UFOs" might be time travelers with very sophisticated distortion units. But that might be a bit wacky. One of the biggest reasons why food production is localized is because the environment is affected with disease and radiation. We are making huge strides in getting it cleaned up. Water is produced on a community level and we do eat meat that we raise ourselves.
Yes, genetic engineering is used but it's like any other technology. It can be good and bad. One thing we did not do was create more hybrid seeds. What are people thinking? I do not believe faith alone is enough to get us back to God. I'm not sure what happens when we die but I'm pretty sure it's not a walk in the park. We are working on it space travel. What future technologies can we look forward to?
I hesitate to answer but I'll give a bit. Hydrogen fuel cells and more efficient solar cells are big deals. Computer technology and software get MUCH better. My greatest joy is sailing. For fun, I enjoy swimming, playing cards, reading, playing games on the net and talking with people who live in other countries. As a community, we celebrate much more and have bon fires and dances. My hobby is sorting through old magazines and videos of life before the war.
After the war, early new communities gathered around the current Universities. That's where the libraries were. Not too much is different except the military is large part of people's life and we spend a great deal of time in the fields and farms at the "University" or Fort. Most of my memories growing up are not fond. Life was very hard.
Simple things make me happy like hugging my mother and father. Yes, we have cameras. More digital. Film is used like painting is today. No hologram camera though. Yes we have phones but the service is through the web.
Most power generation is localized. It amazes me how much power is wasted now. Yes, solar is big. There is thought that a singularity generator could also be used but most people are against it. The elderly are highly revered and looked after on a community level.
So are orphans. There is always something people can do now matter what. The idea of avoiding work is looked down on. Hats are more common in the future and flashy colors are less common.
I have noticed that no one in this time dresses for occasions even when they have the clothes. Why do people wear shorts to church? We do not spend nearly the amount of time on our hair as people do now. Women like to wear their hair longer and men have it much shorter. Both sexes shave it all off when they're in active military service. Far less medical treatment in the future even though It's more advanced.
People die when they now its time to die. No lasers. Genetic medicine and cloning organs are the obvious new techs in the future. The Constitution was changed after the war. We have 5 presidents that are voted in and out on different term periods. The vice president is the president of the senate and they are voted separately.
We have cars, just not a whole bunch of them. There is public transportation from city to city. November 07, If I could bring some material thing back to your time from , it would be a copy of the new US Constitution. Yes, you could travel to a future that was 0. The C uses the second as the basic unit of measure. The C may be capable of. If you arrived a fraction of a second in my past or future on another worldline would I ever know that you arrived?
No "you" would not. But the "you" on that worldline would. It is believed there is some sort of measurable quantum differences in worldlines. I am not an expert on that so I can offer little information. You would be welcome in my home. November 08, Can you explain what the purpose of time travel is on your worldline?
In , a great deal of effort is going into "repairing" our environment. I was sent to to get a computer system and take it back to Time travel is not a secret in and I expect it will become more common. Why is time travel used? Right now, its used to get information or "items" that would be helpful in getting a post WWIII world back to a normal condition. There are 7 other time travelers in my unit. Where do time travelers the most?
Right now, most of our practical missions are from to There is a great deal of research into later and future periods but the farther you go, the lower the divergence confidence of the worldline.
You said there is more than one time machine. Are they all being used? What type of vehicle will you get to go back in since you sold the other car? It's a 4WD. The vehicle needs a strong suspension system to handle the weight of the distortion unit. Are you able to take other people with you when traveling in time? November 11, If you change cars do you have to re-adjust the time machine? But it's a function of the VGL system.
A gravity baseline is taken and rechecked every time the unit is used. A new vehicle would alter the gravity signature. What type of system is used to maintain the singularity?
I am not a physicist so I cannot answer that to your level of sophistication. The singularities are held in an enclosed magnetic field. Can you dimensionally travel with the time machine? However, the longer the unit is on past a safe divergence confidence, the "stranger" the worldline becomes. November 11, If your time machine is accurate to the second then you must have a reason for choosing the moment you arrive.
My goal was to reach a certain date and time which is converted into seconds for the computer to make its calculations. I do not pick the second. It's more important to have a low divergence confidence number. Are you here now to observe the results of the presidential election? I would use the word "elections" a bit cautiously. Perhaps it's easier now to see a civil war in your future?
November 11, If you're here to get a computer, why are you are posting on a message board? I think you're committing treason! Why would it be treason? November 11, You're time machine travels at 10 years an hour?
That would take you more than three hours? How can the air trapped in your vehicle last that long? Yes, that's about right but my initial trip was to , not I guess it's a question of how many technical details you really want or you feel I'm making up.
We do take additional 02 and the air pocket is a bit larger than you might think. November 12, Do you worry about anything happening to the people that help you here?
What if someone tries to build a time machine based on what you've said? Yes, I have considered it but it is very easy to remain hidden behind a veil of disbelief. The people who understand what they are seeing are not aggressive. Everyone else just finds them entertaining. The obvious first answer is that the only worldline of consequence is my own and I don't care what happens here.
That however, is not the case. I have shown these documents in order that people might consider the possibility. I do not expect people to believe them. What is the real reason you're posting these top-secret government documents?
The restricted nature of the documents I posted refers to the departmentalized nature of the technical information. The manual is supposed to remain with the unit. The current F fighter jet probably has an operations manual. All the information in it is not secret but no one wants it to "walk" away from the plane.
Did your commander authorize you to post this information or is it something you did on your own? I am here for personal reasons. For a few months now, I have bee trying to alert anyone that would listen to the possibility of a civil war in the United States in Does that seem more likely now? Actually it's quite amazing to see what's happening.
I have been trying to get people to pay attention for the last few months but to see it unfold is very interesting. Before I leave, I'll try and post my report. I am curious… will anyone be upset if Florida's votes are not counted in the Electoral College because of the current "confusion"? Have you thought about the possible outcomes of your actions? What about the people that read the information and might attempt to build a time machine?
November 15, A broken clock tells the right time twice a day. November 15, Your vehicle looks new. I sold it when I arrived here. It attracted a great deal of attention.
Perhaps that's why it was still around in You must be in the Army. More or less correct. Your commanders must have larger time machines they can use to come and find you. Why would they come looking for me? I'm expected back but I will only have been gone a few seconds from their point of view. You should probably know that our government will find you.
Stupidity and greed are fairly predictable for a period of time. If you're telling the truth, the last thing you should be doing is talking about the war and the government.
Have you considered that your society might be better off if half of you were dead? Why don't you tell us everything about the stock market and future before you go? I'm thinking about it. I'm waiting for my family to buy up all the good stuff cheap first In order for me to do that, I need a prediction that comes true right now. I appreciate the position you are in but you must realize that I am not affected in the least if you believe me or not. Tell me who wins the upcoming sporting event.
Off the top of your head, can you tell me if it rained in Atlanta this time last year? Do you think time travelers carry a sports reference with them? Tell me anything like that and I will believe you forever. It is a mistake to give anyone your unwavering belief November 15, Can anyone operate your time machine? Does it have a key?
You would be welcome at my home. The unit has two security systems to protect it from "most" people. One, it has a code that must be entered correctly. Second, and probably more effective now, the unit cannot be used by anyone who can't add and subtract.
November 15, Why did you go to ? The first "leg" of my trip was from to After two VGL checks, the divergence was estimated at about 2. I was "sent" to get an IBM computer system called the It was one the first portable computers made and it has the ability to read the older IBM programming languages in addition to APL and Basic. We need they system to "debug" various legacy computer programs in UNIX has a problem in November 17, It is thought that being close to a gravitational field has a biological effect on all matter including cells.
The effect is to slow the movement of electrons in the orbits of their nucleus, which slows the mechanical and biological functions of the observer close to the gravity. Thus the passing of time is a local phenomenon depending on how close you are to a gravitational source.
This is one example of a theory involving "time shells" progressing in size and intensity around a gravitational point from all matter. The more massive the object, the larger and more influential the time shells around it like an onion. Another offshoot of this theory is that kinetic energy is actually the conversion of stored energy in the atom as it passes through time shells in a gravitational field. How will you get back?
The unit is portable between vehicles. It is very heavy and requires a "stiff" suspension. The unit is currently in a 4WD. How did you solve the normal problems of living in this time? I am currently living with my parents on this worldline. They know exactly who I am and how I got here. How did you get access to a scanner and computer?
There are numerous ways to do that. Any local printing shop allows you access to a computer system. With all the things you could be doing here, why are you trying to find out about us on the Internet? What suggestions do you have? It seems like it would be hard to be from the future and fit in on this timeline. You don't think you could blend into ? What difficulties would you expect to have that couldn't be overcome? There are a lot of people here who think you are crazy.
I have nothing to sell nor do I want anyone to believe in me or take some action. What other people think of me does not affect me in the least.
If telling us about your time machine won't change anything, what would happen if someone built one based on your information? What you do on your worldline is your own business. I can't think of any better way to start a war than for someone to figure out how to make a time machine. Go for it. I'm not trying to ruin your reputation or credibility; I just want straight answers to my questions. I will be happy to answer "almost" any question you have. November 21, All of the questions asked have been answered in one way or another.
You assume I am here to start a war? Consider this: You are a time traveler who wishes to go back in time to because your grandparents live close to Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. You realize you can't stop the war but you may be able to help them prepare for it.
Strangely, December 7th comes and goes with no sneak attack. Then, you watch as Germany begins to develop the atomic bomb… all by themselves. For a change, I have a question for all of you. Stephen M. Johnson Perimeter Institute, Daniel J. Peiris UCL last revised 12, Jul this version, v3 pages Thank you for your time.
In the online story, Titor stated that a part of his mission was to prevent the coming world war by changing history. Yet during an IRC chat in October , a month before he began posting, Titor was asked if the future could be changed from his prediction, and answered 'It's too late.
I just wish things didn't have to happen the way they will. WW2 and mass death is happening in another worldline right this second! Either way, the existing paragraph in the article is weak because it's not a contradiction if someone's intent to change history but later realize it's too late.
Even Wikipedia redirects from his real name, John Rick Haber. Yeah, I know about biographies of living persons ; that policy doesn't forbid naming hoaxers, to my knowledge. Thedoorhinge talk , 2 September UTC. What ever came of this video, of some dude claiming he is John Titor, is calling Coast to Coast, and has documents and evidence proving beyond any doubt that he is who he says he is and wants to apologize for the hoax? Seems legit. But that was back in I'm not in the US, so I have no idea if he ever did contact the media about it.
Can someone please follow up on this? The identity of John Titor is an extremely relevant element missing from this article; in fact I would safely say his identity is the most important piece of information, and it is missing from this article. An anon, recently, has been adding a trademark. We cannot use it without a third-party secondary source commenting on it, although it might very well be relevant.
My apologies if this is mentioned in the archives. I just wanted to state that by traveling into this alternate reality he may have stopped his own predictions. Or even by stating them out to people enough people, or the right people read it and this alone stopped his predictions, could even be the meaning behind the prediction.
At least we can't be sure that it was meant to be that way and that is why i find it a bit 'so-so' to call it failured. Only in this reality the war didnt happened, and only in this reality he was and changed things leaving out the part that he is or not from the future. I'm kind of suprised that this isn't in the article yet, but how come there isn't any mention that John Titor was avant-garde work by Joseph Matheny?
See, a podcast talking about it with him, his LinkedIn profile, and his website. With John Titor, we have a 'internet story' told on chat boards by a person, or persons and then discussed on specialty venues including Coast to Coast AM and other venues. We don't know if Titor is a person or many people. I have just modified one external link on John Titor.
