The Time Machine

One of the first things John did was share images of his time machine and accompanying operating instructions. As the weeks passed, more individuals began to interrogate him about why he was here, the science of time travel, and his thoughts on our time. He also made posts on other forums, including the now-defunct Art Bell website. Those that spoke with John Titor were entertained, enraged, terrified, and even mocked.

Titor described his time machine on several occasions. In an early post, he described it as a “stationary mass, temporal displacement unit powered by two top-spin, dual positive singularities”, producing a “standard off-set Tipler sinusoid”.

The earliest post was more explicit, saying it contained the following:

• Two magnetic housing units for the dual micro singularities
• An electron injection manifold to alter mass and gravity of the micro singularities
• A cooling and X-ray venting system
• Gravity sensors, or a variable gravity lock
• Four main cesium clocks
• Three main computer units

According to the posts, the device was installed in the rear of a 1966 Chevrolet Corvette convertible. The posts later mentioned a 1987 truck with four-wheel drive.
