JOHN TITOR: Soldier From the Future

Although this soldier frequently invoked the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, whereby events from his timeline may differ from our own, Titor also said that the differences would be minimal. As such, some have interpreted his descriptions of his timeline as predictions on our timeline, and have compared them with actual historical events that have occurred since Titor’s final post in 2001. The timelines are marked by a difference of a few seconds.

The most immediate of Titor’s predictions foretold a civil war in the United States having to do with “order and rights”. The war as Titor described it would begin in 2005 with civil unrest surrounding the presidential election of that year. According to Titor, this civil conflict, which he described as “having a Waco type event every month that steadily gets worse”, would be “pretty much at everyone’s doorstep” and erupt into war by 2008. As a result, the United States would split into five regions based on a variety of factors, including differing military objectives.

According to Titor, this civil war would end in 2015 with a brief but intense World War III, which Titor referred to as “N Day”. He specified Washington, D.C. and Jacksonville, Florida as cities that would be hit in the exchange, and said that after the war, Omaha, Nebraska would be the new U.S. Capitol & soldier training area. Titor did not detail the exact causes of this World War III scenario, but in one post he said that the hostilities were led by “border clashes and overpopulation”. He also pointed to the contemporary Arab-Israeli conflict not as a cause of the war, but as a milestone that precedes it.

Titor said that in 2011, when he was 13 years old, he joined a Florida-based shotgun infantry unit as a soldier called the Fighting Diamondbacks for at least four years. In other posts, he described himself as hiding from the war.

Titor also said that the “Everett–Wheeler model of quantum physics”, better known as the many-worlds interpretation, was correct. According to him, this meant that his time travel had caused the formation of a new time-stream, and that in this new (current) time-stream, the events that Titor had described would occur somewhat differently than they had in his home time-stream.
