Find a copy of that article that was not printed by the weekly world news. :)

But if it's in the National Enquirer then it has to be true!!!

Didn't you watch MiB? :p

That guy is an idiot. Not because he claims he's from the future, but he spent 2 weeks to make millions when he could've just memorized a few numbers and get hundreds of millions in lottery in just a few days.

Making millions on the stock market can easily go unnoticed.

Winning 2 lotteries does not.

Also, the guy didn't take months to do this. He went from $800 to $350,000,000 in 2 weeks playing the stock market. link

I've read through a lot of his stuff so far. It's entertaining at least. The guy certainly has done his physics homework. Further, the way he explains everything about time travel and worldlines nicely cuts out all that "can I go back and kill my own grandfather" type thing.

Its a Hoax, just like the John Tumor thing


Can you explain why your site claiming it's a "hoax" is owned by "Acme software, Inc.", NOT the SEC?

NM, found how to get from one to the other.

He said the WWIII killed 3 billion people. But if you think about the fact there isnt 3 billion people in Europe, N-America and China in total its kind a bullshit... (He said that Russia would attack Europ, China and N-America).

And that the US would counterstrike Russia, that without the defense of the US the Arab countries would try and attack Israel (resulting in the use of WMDs in the region).

It's a hoax, but WW III could easily generate a huge number of casualties, although there is no reason whatsoever Russia would interfere in such a way with the US policies. They don't depend on US resources, and although reduced money from the World Bank (or none at all) would hurt them, they'd be able to manage. They have no reason to attack China either, and Europe hasn't been an enemy of Russia for quite some time now.

Maybe Russia (and some European countries) would intervene, but then with forces to support whatever side they want to win.

For a civil war you need clear sides anyway, like North vs South or Serbians vs Bosnians. In the US there are far too many groups for that, which do not agree with eachother. None can win a battle against all the others, and none wants to join forces with another side. If the US will re-elect Bush so he can mess up internal and foreign policies even further people may revolt against it, but that will most likely result in demonstrations and here and there the torching of a few city blocks.

Scary stuff...boy has done his physics homework alright, but there are some major wholes in his story, and the evidence is majorly hard to fake (the manual would be a 5 min job on word, and the actual 'device' probably a coupla hours with a toolbox and some paint...).

Still scary though.......

I dunno what to say, i guess we wait and see what happens in 2005. Then we will resurrect this thread again, how about that?

Just to be safe, I am now beginning to stock pile food, clean water, guns, ammo, a collection of reading material, and some fine women for me to procreate with in a remote location on a remote island miles from China, N-America, Europe and Russia......:D
