Oliver Williams about John Titor and Time Travel...

The last time that Oliver Williams was on CTCAM was in 2011.

The John Titor story is one of the more interesting Time Travel (TT) stories around. Of course, how can such a TT story ever be confirmed? Some people think that a small team of people created this phenomenon as a hobby or even a psychology experiment. Whatever the case, this story took a lot of effort & time to put together.

It could be quite an entertaining movie, if someone would ever set aside a big enough budget for it. However, an interesting story like, A_Sound_of_Thunder needs not only a big enough budget but overall good acting & production standards.

Perhaps H._G._Wells could have written a story about the nature of gravity_wells. He opted instead to write about controlled human time travel. The_Time_Machine novel was first published in 1895.

Back in the day as well as today, the traveling_tailor is limited to conventional methods of getting around. However, if you want to do a movie about a person traveling through the fabric of space-time you get a guy by the name of, Rod_Taylor. He was chosen to star in the 1960_film_production of, The_Time_Machine.

By the late 1960s, another fantastic time travel movie was released. However, this TT movie might as well have been an extended episode of Rod_Serling's, The Twilight Zone. Charlton_Heston stars as the unintentional time traveler, George_Taylor in the original Planet_of_the_Apes.

The 3rd movie in the_Planet_of_the_Apes series was directed by, Don_Taylor & also involved time travel.

The larger implications of TT is that the universe is an immense muti-dimensional interactive recording of space & time or spacetime.

The John Titor Time Travel story isn't like Quantum Leap or Source Code...

Was the John-Titor story just another yarn using the theme of time-travel?

Almost anyone can invent an intricate story. However, it takes a lot of mental+coordination to make it seem possible or plausible. https://www.strangerdimensions.com/2012/01/19/john-titor-as-an-unreliable-narrator

"Would you believe it? Fifteen years ago, on March 24, 2001, the individual posting as John Titor left his final message on the Post2Post Art Bell forum, leaving behind a timeless mystery, and one of my favourite urban legends of the information age."

The JT TT story still remains as an interesting one to explore & compare with others.
http://desertshapes.blogspot.ca/2016/03/the-john-titor-enigma-and-time-travel.html

There could be various types of beings that have achieved technological time travel. Sometimes they might seem to be human but upon closer inspection, they are some other type of humanoid.

They could also be from another inter-dimensional plane of existence & can only temporally seem human. 

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/tech/quantum-computing.html
Of course, there is quite a plethora of books, movies and TV series that provide interesting depictions of traveling through time.

The John Titor Enigma and Time Travel, etc.

http://midnightinthedesert.com/john-titor Well, it's the old case of, is he really JT or does he just believe that he is JT? Never the less, this is one of the more fascinating time+travel stories around. He mentioned that there are many timelines. Of course, that theoretical concept has been around for quite a while.
"According to the Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum physics, we live in an infinite web of alternate timelines."

Anyone can read a lot of books, watch movies & TV series about time travel, but that doesn't make one a physical time traveller.

Think back to October 2004, most people won't remember a peculiar time travel movie.

So far there just doesn't seem to be any completed JT TT movie yet.

Some trivia:
"He is perhaps best known for his supporting role as Jon Titterton in the 2012 Academy Award-winning political thriller film Argo."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Sullivan_(actor) So DS played, Jon Titterton, its slightly similar to John Titor.
"Sullivan starred as Abe in the 2004 independent film Primer, which won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Sullivan_(actor)#Career Its unlikely that DS will go from playing Abe in one time travel movie to playing JT in another TT movie.

Although mostly not involving time travel in the story, all these movies can motivate you look deeper into the nature of reality.

A Time Traveler a 1928 Chaplin Movie?

The time-travel theme is always an interesting concept to explore.
It looks like this person is using a cell phone, but it could be some other contraption.
http://parabook.wordpress.com/2010/10/24/time-traveller-in-charlie-chaplin-from-1928-what-do-you-think/
If this link through Parabook is true, it means that something far beyond vacuum tube technology was in use.

Is this evidence of a time traveler? (TT)
http://ofscarabs.blogspot.com/2010/10/time-traveler-photo.html
Such travelers might occasionally visit what seems to be uneventful moments in time.

Of course, if someone does have this ability they would most likely want to observe key moments in time. Such possibilities have been explored in various books, movies & TV series.

The Observer is part of a fictional group of humanoid looking beings that seem to travel through time & space. I once saw the shadow of one on the side of a house, but didn't look around the corner to see who or what caused such a shadow. Just another mysterious incident that I & several others can't prove.
History is full of mysteries & out of place objects & technology.
