that site is really interesting! i've spent the past half hour reading it. there's a bunch of unbelievable stuff mixed in with his predictions, though. even with the rapid acceleration of history we've witnessed in the past hundred years, 2036 is simply not enough time for a lot of the things he mentions to have taken place. there's not going to be an American Civil War in 2005 between various separatist regions! life can't have changed so much by 2036 so there's "no more centralized religions at all" and globalization is gone, with people living and growing things locally.
 
they don't die until 2015; he describes ENORMOUS changes that happen before then. there's NO WAY an American army will draft 13 year olds as soldiers without decades and decades of cultural shift, especially BEFORE a 3-billion-killing war.
 
OK but here's the thing about time travel.

If you did invent a time travel machine, you'd also have to invent a teleporter, and you'd also have to figure out a lot of stuff about the coordinate system and movement of the Universe.

If you decided to go back in time to three weeks ago, you'd not only have to figure out where in the Earth's orbit the planet was that day, you'd also have to figure out where the sun was in it's movement around the galaxy. You'd also have to have some way of knowing where the galaxy was that day, and so on and so on. Otherwise you might time travel, but end up hundreds of miles away from the earth in the middle of space.
 
Sam I think what I've read about time travel is that the only way it'd be possible would be to create a gravitational force so strong that you would twist space-time so that two points existed in the same space. I think the implication was that it would really only be possible IN space, outside of the earth's atmosphere anyway.

Still, though, you'd have to have a pretty good system for mapping out the universe if you wanted to know where the hell you were after the time travel.

well, it depends on your point of reference--at what point, exactly, do you have to map out the universe moving? better to try to tie the time travelling to a fixed point, like the center of the earth, or something, right?

Well that's kind of my point...has science established an absolute coordinate system for space? Or are all movements simply measured relative to larger bodies?
 
i think physical time travel is only a part of it, though, when remote viewing is probably going to be the most efficient method of reconstructing past events.

when/if history can be reinterpreted via residuals, as with rings in a tree's growth or whatnot, then physical travel will be solely to alter events in some way. everything else can be identified remotely, from whatever time period.

this also applies to space exploration in real time, whatever that is.
