Sure the future is sometimes predictable. I predict night will come tonight.
But in this case, people are basing their future predictions on false information (Titor). If Titor is false, then why continue using him as a guide to make future predictions (not saying you're doing this, but in general)

No.
You know why Titor hasn't come forth til this day? Because what he did was borderline illegal. If he had come up with something original, then his story would have held much better ground.

No...you seriously can't. Why would I believe what Titor wrote anyway?

Didn't Titor say he was a historian?
He would study stuff like that. But, the average joe just went through a 10 year civil war and a nuclear war after that. I seriously doubt they would care about something that never happened. So the ones who study history would probably know about it, other then that no one would care and are probably not aware of it. Why would they be?
(he also states the average lifespan is about 52 years...on top of the fact that half the world died in the wars....anyone old enough to remember all the talk about Y2K is probably dead)

If Y2K happened on his worldline, then his worldline in WAAAY over the 2% divergence he predicted this world to be from his making everything he stated that happened unlikely for this worldline.
The divergence measurement refers to the local gravitational field as compared to
the point of origin. It is merely an empirical indicator of overall change in a
worldline. Some things that are quite different on one worldline have very little
effect as time passes and the worldlines appear to "converge" again and look very
similar. Worldline changes are not exponential; they act more like chaotic
attractors with varying effect depending on their size and location.
Now for the future you might want to know about. Y2K is a disaster. Many people die on the highways when they freeze to death trying to get to warmer weather. The government tries to keep power by instituting marshall law but all of it collapses when their efforts to bring the power back up fail. A few years later communial government system is developed after the constitution takes a few twists. China retakes Tiawan. Isreal wins the largest battle for their life and Russia is covered in Nuclear snow from their collapsed reactors.
Typically time travelers do not purposely affect the world lines they visit.

So where does 1998 come from?
In 1998 Art Bell received a couple of faxes from the one and only John Titor.
The faxes
ThatsJustWeird
1. Titor's misson would not have been to go and fix Y2K, because a) this would have made things worse and b) it's impossible anyway. You're telling me JT was sent to dozens upon dozens of countries around the world and was given millions upon millions of dollars to go around and fix Y2K in just a couple of months?
ThatsJustWeird
2. Why no mention of the civil war? Y2K was supposed to be the event that eventually sets up a communal government here in the US. But after Y2K doesn't happen, he switches it to a civil war the eventually sets up the communal government.
Russia's collapsed nuclear reactors caused Russia to be destroyed. So if Russia is destroyed, how can they attack the US? And why would they?

The faxes are connected with Art Bell, I do find it weird that the man in the picture with the "cigar and laser" looks like the back of Art Bell's head. lol

Really, I think the ears give it away. Art bell has very distinctive ears lol.
Maybe someone can post a comparison picture to compare Art Bell's ear with that picture.

1. Who here has actually read the Titor Archives?
The reason I ask is because Titor never mentions Y2K
Titor never claims to have solved the y2k bug in year 2000
If you haven't read the Titor archives than you would easily fall victom to the missinterpretations by MANY people on this forum.
READ IT FOR YOURSELF, then come up with you own conclusions.

Have you noticed Art Bell and the Instructor both are smoking right handed?.. And the ears.. wow.. yes, undoubted proof here!

As you can see, there is a striking resemblance between the cigar in the Art Bell picture and the cigar of the instructor with the bent laserlight!
Art Bell with cigar

how does the light bend, but not the car door or passenger ? how are they immune to the g-forces ?
Originally posted by syrinx high priest
ok, then why isn't the visible light surrounding the laser uneffected ? wouldn't it bend as well, and make for a picture that at least is not in focus ?
Originally posted by junglejake
Why is the laser light even visible outside of the car, especially when it starts to bend?
If that were the limit to the sphere, wouldn't you expect the smoke to immediately dissipate?
Why's the image such poor quality, too?
Given time, a will to do it, and a bad camera, I could create an image just like that one using thick glass of increasing density with impurities. Then, the cigar smoke would reveal the laser in the car (btw, in all my experience using lasers, I've not seen such uniform visibility caused by a smoking device such as a cigar or cigarette.) and the impurities would reveal it in the glass while the increasing density would bend the light in a similar manner due to refraction.

You've already explained that there is no smoke outside the car, yet still the laser light is visible. Laser light is not visible unless it is reflecting off of an object.
