      Also, how, if half the population died and every major city was destroyed in nuclear explosions, the hell did humans figure out time travel? War-torn areas aren't exactly known for their paradigm-shifting technological innovations. Quite the opposite, these regions are usually the victim of brain drain.
      The fact that quantum physics wasn't discussed even once, yet John demonstrated technical knowledge about computers from the 70s, says a lot about the real person/people behind the narrator.

      That doesn't track. Is it supposed to be a 'Boomer insult? Do you think only younger people know about quantum physics and older people only know about computers from the 'seventies? LOL
      Also, re your comment that if big cities were destroyed there would be nobody left to innovate, technology-wise. I guess you don't realize how many laboratories are away from big cities in the US. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, for instance, is technically in Central California, miles and miles away, over the mountains from San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose. It's unlikely to be a target.

  • @WolfHasCome
    @WolfHasCome 3 місяці тому +91

    Even if there weren't a million red flags before, the thing that was absolutely the last nail in the coffin was when he said it only traveled through time, not space. It's pretty basic knowledge that if you only move backwards in time, your ending position in space will be the exact same as your starting position. The earth moves through space as time goes on, revolving around the sun and then rotating itself. These factors require complex calculations to determine the exact coordinates in space to translocate you to according to the specific time you want to go to. Otherwise you risk time traveling and ending up in the middle of empty space, or you get poofed into a solid object and it results in a mini explosion from two separate masses trying to occupy the same physical space.

    if you were to travel back in time while staying spatially stationary as John claims he did in his car, you would find yourself no longer on the planet as the Earth is moving 30 km/s. You'd probably flip the time machine off and be floating around in space, or just dead? The entire solar system is constantly in motion, so his machine would have had to account for spatial displacement. I've never read any of the forum posts, its some cool 2000s internet lore but it doesn't sound like this troll even thought of that

      That is actually an issue he addressed that wasn't mentioned in the video. When his temporal displacement device started up, it'd take a gravitational reading of it's currently location in space time. The device could not move while displacing time. It would do an additional gravitational reading at it's destination to make sure it was safe to arrive. To prevent popping up in the void of space or in a wall

      And to add to your point: Dude doesn't want to affect the timeline, but then comes back and hangs out with himself as a kid, visits family, etc. Uh, did we learn nothing from "Back To The Future"?

    if hes saying hes stopped events happening its more likely hes suffering from paranoid schizophrenia or some related paranoid disorder. sometimes when people who are already struggling feel inadequate they make up delusions about themselves to feel better. sometimes the delusions can be incredibly insane. sometimes they believe them fully. sometimes its just like day dreaming and then they snap out of it, its a sad thing. i have known a few people with this problem and have experienced it on a minor scale myself. (making up what i have done in my day in conversation to make my day seem interesting when i was depressed.) hope dude gets help. i also think the uncertainty of life and cloudiness in the world contributes to it. many dont realise that none of us have it figured out yet. when people are sick these delusions help them feel like they know the truth in a way, its a sense of security as false as it is.
