Give it another 20 30 years who knows where we will be 2036 he said didn't he

Not a completely bad article, was a fairly good read for the detail put forth.
Might be neat to keep tabs on, as a follow up will undoubtably prove inevitable.

Hey, you wouldn't happen to be a member of Digg would you? anyway, it's a pretty interesting article. I kinda already had that idea, it was just a matter of someone actually writing it down.

No sorry im not a member of Digg (Whats is that )

Question though - If we are reading about this stuff now and the US is suppose to be some 30 - 50 years ahead in tech what are the chances of this already being a reality ?

The best part of that article is the following quote:

Quantum behaviour is governed by probabilities. Before something has actually been observed, there are a number of possibilities regarding its state. But once its state has been measured those possibilities shrink to one - uncertainty is eliminated.

Seems like you could apply "quantum behaviour" to the whole Titor thing and come up with a good answer to the veracity of his claims.

I've read something similar to this before but it stated that if you did alter the past you create an alternate future or dimension but would not effect your future. The basic jist was that you could only alter someone elses future but never your own past.

You know, I can feel my cerebrum beginning to melt everytime I put any thought into these time travel theories. Not that it's too complicated to fathom, but it's possibilities are so whacked out.

I'm going to stick with the grandfather paradox on this one. I just seems more reasonable if you go into another worldline.

This is saying, if you went back into time, killed your dad, you would be in jail on return to your true worldline, for murder ?
