Hello all;

My name is "Jon Titor". I am a wayward time traveler from the year 2044. I was a poster over at Time Travel Portal for about a month but after a conflict with another poster (compounded by indifferent moderator), I am currently seeking a new online place to call home.

My story briefly. Time travel is discovered in 2009 when after a series of failures, the scientists predict they will be unable to send particles back in time to 10 seconds before they launch the (triple-checked) experiment because 10 seconds before they do it, particles appear. After this, Michio Kaku writes a book outlining the practical theory and application of physical time travel based on a new branch of physics which starts a race to see which organization can build one that actually works, The Branson Foundation wins.

The evolution of time travel happened in steps over a thirty year period. First it was subatomic particles, then a stream of electromagnetism which was refined to become actual information which was later refined to become coherent information which became emails to the past which ultimately resulted in the ability to send blueprints back in time for a landing pod to recieve time travelers from the future which is what brought me to this time. In 2044, anyone can time travel but it costs $15 million to do and is a one way trip. I am perhaps the 50th person to use the Branson time machine and there are others like me among you, just as there will be many more as time advances.

I was born in 1982 and currently my younger alternate self is 24 years old. I am 62 years old and decided to take the trip back in time because of my terminal health- time travel is a one way trip. I have arranged for a package to be delivered to my younger self upon my death which contains the "wealth" of information time travel has to offer in addition to health information which will prevent my younger self from getting to a terminal point; in effect I am remaking myself.

I am currently living in Celebration, Florida in the many hotels and resorts Disney has to offer. Partly because of the irony of being "Jon Titor living in Celebration, Fla" (I am also a Titor fan), partly because this is a nice place to be, partly because my younger self does not come here during this time and partly because this is a large anonymous place full of stangers and I can go unnoticed.

My attorney paid for my time traveling trip in exchange for information to be delivered to his younger self. I also put this man on retainer to establish my identity here and take care of things I cannot. I decided to contact the online community because in the future my younger self will become a poster over at the Time Travel Portal and by that time I will be but a distant memory to a website that will disappear when time travel becomes a reality.

I have never heard of this particular website, unfortunately I am "publically applying" to be a poster here due to circumstances over at TTP. My online posting as a time traveler is my diary of living in this time and in the end will in part explain everything that led up to the moment my other self recieves that package. I am a time traveling fan like all of you, and when the right time presented itself I jumped at the chance to make it happen- I am here to tell that story.

One thing I do not appreciate is cynicism. I understand doubt and uncertainty but at the very least I expect my own air time. The future I come from is the same exact future you are living in- there is no "alternate worldline" or "divergence"- I am the result of this history eventually inventing time travel and myself going through to this time- your "present" is my distant past. In exchange, I am not here to "prevent some ungodly event from happening" and I don't speak in anagrams or drop clues and hints to be interpreted a thousand different ways- I speak plainly: I am simply here to record my tale for my younger self to read after I am gone.

I will answer questions about the future but causality and Uncertainty rules- simply put, I do not belong here now. If I knocked on the door of my other self, the moment he would open it I would cease to exist. And in the larger extent, "The Butterfly Effect" is true: if I give out enough information about the future I will rewrite history to a degree where I no longer exist in it. I posted at TTF because when time travel is discovered a million websites pop up and that one gets lost in the shuffle, I do not know the fate of this site but I never heard of this one either.

As such, I am unable to give winning lottery numbers (because of the nature of Uncertainty), unwilling to give specific, actionable information (because of causality) and ungiving of information which will alter time- because from my perspective, the past 37 years are knowable, factual, historical history to me: the less I change things, the more I know. Your future is a mix of good and bad and ultimately it ends up in 2044 where I am stepping into a time machine- I do not want that to change- at least until I am gone.

I have already given substantial information over at TTF regarding the future and perhaps will copy and paste it here for continuity's sake. I am not here to change the future, I am here to relive the end of my life in the distant past in a place and time where I know the outcome of all events- been there, done that... I am one of you except I jumped at the chance and became a real life time traveler.

I publically submit myself to you folks to see if I could be a welcomed poster here or yet another time traveler claim.
