Where would you be?

How old would you be?

What’s happening?

E se a mesma pessoa que fez os posts do John Titor voltasse a postar mas com outro nick totalmente diferente aqui vocês conseguiriam perceber que pudesse ser ele?

The way I see it there would be minimal changes besides cause of death and the text in school text books l but I'd like to hear your opinions on this l. Also if you were to do this how would you go about it?

I love the idea for time travel, and I consume lots of books and films and so on around the subject. I’m not a frequent visitor to this subreddit for no reason.

However, the common denominator in nearly time travel fiction or discussion is that word ‘travel’. Time is often presented as a tangible thing which we can traverse, like a road or river which - if technology ever allows it - we could move forward or back on relative to our current position.

But as more time passes (no pun intended) I’m becoming more convinced that time is not something we can move along, and doesn’t exist as an object or force that we can manipulate - and that it is simply our brain’s way of perceiving sequences of events in a linear order. It’s like watching a film for the first time on a screen as a viewer - you can remember the events that have occurred since the beginning of the film, and anticipate the events that may come, but you can not change the content of the film or redo parts of it.

And yes, moving forward in time is technically feasible with time dilation - though we are nowhere near the technology level needed to do that - but even that is a side effect of relativity and isn’t time travel in the sense of hopping in a machine and jumping forward 1000 years in a split second.

Happy to be proved wrong

I was listening to Jesse Michaels Podcast a few days ago and they were talking about a group of people on our planet that deal with Time Travel! Most Likely alot of Government on our planet can also OBE/Astral Project and See and hear everything everyone does and thinks, Most likely having Access to the Akashik Records The Metaphysical Database of Everything Everyone has is and will Think say and do. I Feel like everyone should realize this 🧐

Long time listener, first time poster here :)

EDIT START

Thank you fellow time traveller buffs for sharing your ideas & pointing out that GIMF lol as apparently after a simple google search I found the podcast & vsauce media supporting this theory I was asking about.

Note to my future self: pls remember to do your due diligence before excitedly sharing your shower thoughts lest trolls attempt to strike any since of awe and wonder from your world lol

EDIT END

ORIGINAL POST:

Reading these posts & related time travel related media has brought me to this conclusion ( Apologies in advance if this has already been discussed, and if not, would love to hear your insights )

If time is relative and the possibilities of events within that timeline infinite, then asking a supposed time traveler about the future is pointless ( as "the devils hour" states so eloquently when asked why he couldn't prevent 9/11 from happening and he replied by stating at least he stopped 7/12 )

But all is not lost. Instead of asking about the future, or recent events, we should instead ask about ANCIENT EVENTS.

Think about it, we make ancient archeological discoveries on a consistent enough basis that there should be SOMETHING that was discovered between our timeline and the travellers own supposed time.

On that note, it doesn't have to be too ancient, like they could've just told us where the titanic was or something similar like that.

Id stay away from scientific/technical breakthroughs unless they can actually build/design a working prototype as someone can scroll up mindlessly on a cell phone but not understand the first thing about the science/tech behind it if you were to ask them how to build a cell phone/show you how every part actually works etc.

Apologies again if this has already been discussed. I was just thinking, theoretically, if we as humans are just like a radio catching 1 specific signal in the universe, while all this other stuff is simultaneously happening around us, we might be able to ask this supposed time traveller human, who may be catching a similar signal, just with lower latency, about new discoveries of past played songs.

Apologies for the novel, gratitude for this awesome community, would love to hear your thoughts 🙏🏽

Me and ChatGPT have been trying to reverse engineer the time travelling car theory.

We've worked out most of the how the thing will work. We just haven't figured out how to create exotic energy in enough quantity to produce a wormhole effect to get the thing to time travel.

Well that's it in a nutshell, in truth, I am trying to reverse engineer something I seen but it's against the rules to talk about such things. Basically, if a shop vac sized looking object were ontop of the roof of a car. What would it be doing to help an otherwise normal car to time travel?

So far we started to consider Ning Li's anti gravity ring tech, to possibly produce the exotic energy while building a loop ring with magnets to create a frictionless high velocity vehicle track to help with the necessary motion to help the miniature model time travel with the small amount of exotic energy that can be produced ATM using existing technologies. Although, it seems we hit a stump. As nothing has been created yet that produces the amount of exotic energy necessary to charge the vehicle to enter a wormhole state to time travel and we theorized using upward and downward movement to control forward and backward motion in time but that is still untested. This.... Any thoughts?

Simple question - have I time travelled if I have no memory of my life before I was sent back?

A lot of people hear “time travel” and think:

jumping timelines

changing past events

rewriting history

But in Sonai-style ambiance thinking, that’s not what’s happening at all.

Time isn’t a place you move through.

Time is what appears when a flow becomes recognizable more than once (米).

So “time travel” is better understood as:

> entering a different layer of recognition of the same ongoing flow.

---

The key shift

Instead of:

> “I went to the past or future”

it becomes:

> “I entered a state where the same flow is being recognized from a different position inside the ambiance.”

Nothing physically “goes back.”

What changes is where recognition is anchored.

---

A simple way to picture it

Imagine a waterwheel system (米):

water flows

the wheel turns

the system leaves traces in its own motion (sound, rhythm, sediment, pattern)

Now normally you only experience:

> flow → present → flow → present

But in Sonai terms, “time travel” happens when:

the ambiance retains enough trace

and your attention re-enters a previous pattern of flow recognition

So you’re not going backward.

You’re stepping into a previously-stable configuration of recognition inside the same continuous system.

---

Why it feels like “going to the past”

Because:

the flow pattern is still present in trace form

your perception re-aligns with that earlier configuration

the system “lights up” the same structure again (米 → ☆ recognition match)

So subjectively it feels like:

> “I’m back there”

But structurally it’s:

> “the same pattern became readable again from a different entry point”

---

What “future travel” would mean (same logic)

The “future” is just:

flow patterns that already exist as tendencies in the system

but haven’t fully stabilized into visible repetition yet

So “seeing the future” is:

> recognizing a flow pattern before it becomes fully repeated and stabilized in ambiance

---

Important constraint (Dome-World rule)

Nothing is being rewritten.

Nothing is being moved.

Nothing is leaving or arriving.

Instead:

> ambiance contains layered traces of flow, and cognition can re-enter different layers of those traces.

That’s it.

---

Why this is still called “time travel” in casual language

Because from inside experience:

recognition shift feels like relocation

layered flow feels like direction

repeated pattern feels like return

But Sonai framing keeps it strict:

> no movement through time

only movement through states of readability inside continuous flow (米)

---

One-line version

Time travel is not displacement.

It is:

> re-entry into a prior or latent configuration of flow recognition inside the same ambient system.

---

If you want, I can also map:

“what causes accidental time-slip (misalignment of 米)”

or “how stable loops form that feel like permanent timelines”

What would all the new technologies available now, that didn't exist in the original 1993 film, do to make the Remake better or at least different from the original film?

Would he memorize lottery numbers and the outcomes of sporting events that he could bet money on? How about the greatest stock gainers and the greatest stock Losers of the day on the online stock market that the main character has stock trading apps for?

What would he post to youtube, facebook, TikTok, Twitter/ X, and other social media and how would that change every loop?

How would a remake set in the 2020s be better and worse?

Imagine you got a Time Machine but can I only go to the past and change any three events either from your life or any movie story event
Note : you can change it completely btw ,no consequences
What it would be ?

Imagine you have a time travel mission. During the mission, you get a chance to meet your younger self. If you could tell them just one thing, what would you say?

What would I need to be able to do and learn?

.

Prior to the internet publishing was a guarded wall and writing to reach the masses took resources and connections to achieve. There were many people who's thoughts never reached an audience in their lifetime or even after.

Assuming that you could give a magic electronic device that didn't have to worry about batteries that had one function, accessing modern day reddit, to any human being who died pre internet; who would it be?

One idea, a man barely able to publish during his lifetime and who never successfully reached an audience until he died. The patron saint of r/antiwork: Franz Kafka.

If I had a chance to hear my thoughts an hour later would I be able to win the mega million powerball
