Transmedia Is So Yesterday

If John Titor's story is true then the transdimensional time-laws that are inviolably cast in the multiverse theory mean we may well be on the cusp of that dangerously creative idea of at some point manifesting the destiny of, and co-creating our own private universe. It sounds preposterous but that's contemporary science manifesting itself as reality. That's my premature conclusion from listening to the three podcast interviews of people that have written books about him.

As on so many occasions previously it's my gut instinct that is the most forceful dynamic. When John Titor came back from 2036 to meet his mother in November 2000 his mother was asked how she reacted to meeting her son who was then only a couple of years old. Her reply was that a mother always would recognise her son and accepted him immediately. It's the sort of detail that I wouldn't expect and yet makes a lot of sense. It's only one thread in the multi dimensional narrative of a completely astonishing story.

The other tell tale clues that sets my authenticity alarm bells ringing are the usual death threats and online outrage that accompany anybody who espouses truly radical ideas or in this case is actively tinkering with our own timeline. I had lunch with a journalist last week who pointed out that Michael Foot's son Paul Foot had an investigative credo of 'believe the nutters' and so my additional caveat to that is 'where there is outrage, there is truth'. Take 911 for example. Most people still haven't got the guts to say what they feel so it's the largest elephant in the room for good reason. Ask Charlie Sheen about that outrage. The instantaneous moral punditry over acts that as far as I know he's been doing all his life. Have a think about that.

In Summary

John Titor - Time Traveller On The Net Forums?

This threw a huge spanner in the works for me. I hadn't heard of John Titor until a few hours ago but my own private unified theory was doing very nicely for the next few years even though the Multiverse theory that science is increasingly strident about has been a good house guest when factoring in transdimensional disruptions. That has all changed on first hearing of the interview below. I really need to go back and do the legwork on what John Titor actually said as so far I've just listened to two interviews of authors who have written books about him. 

I could kick myself that I haven't rigorously factored in dimensional (time) travel given that the notion of time as exception to the Omniverse rule rolls off my lips quite frequently and that I'm comfortable with trans-dimensional intervention both conceptually and pragmatically. It just never occurred to me that a 21st century human would be the first credible encounter of the physics that the adolescents of exploding science at CERN are dicking around with.  

Until I reconcile this anomaly with all the other stuff that I've only scratched the surface of (and there's a slim chance John Titor is THE most creative idea media-seed I've ever seen planted), I'm in that somewhat uncomfortable zone of holding powerfully conflicting ideas in my head at the same time. It's spinning me out, but there are glimpses of potential for idea reconciliation, though at this stage the sheer renegade lone ranger factor is baffling me. Just the one off? How come? How so? Whatever the outcome I like this character a lot already. Like me he despises the excesses of consumer materialism that is the myopic hallmark of the morally diminished classes. The superficial materialists. The ones wittingly unaware(sic) that the clock's ticking.

Update: The more I watch the U.S. citizens apathy on constitutional changes to their rights over the National Defence Emergency Act, the more it looks like John Titor changed the dates from 2012 to 2008 to add some urgency to his message. Fascinating.
