That so called timemachine was a radiation machine

It was used by the us military in some war to pickup gas and radiation

It wouldn't be right to do that, as far as we know it could have really bad consequences, or good. We don't know what events will lead to what, and it could really do some damage. We could stop Hitler rising to power but someone far worse could come into power in the future, and we never learned the lesson to stop these guys like we did with Hitler. Bottom line, you can't alter the past! John Titor claims that he could just interact like everyone else in this period...but even he couldn't know of every cause and effect.

definetly stop hitler.. But if something gos wrong in the future because we altered the past. Then we can go to the past when we altered it. And stop ourselves from doing it So then we can fix every mistake

That's not how it works

You could kill yourself because you stopped hitler. (That makes a loop btw )

You go back to stop hitler, because you stopped him you were never born, you can't go back to stop him and he goes at it again

Yes, but guys john titor couldnot ove been real, Because i dont think we will have "time machines" in  31 years, or will we........., we will se soon enough

I just thought of a good one. I'd ask someone from the future about audio formats that we will use. I mean go back 30 years and audio casettes and LPs were the main form of audio that was used. We can look back on that as rather primitive now, so I'd asssume he'd treat MP3's with the same regard. I'd want to know about the ones from 30 years in the future. Also video formats, like we look at VCRs as getting old, I wonder if in 30 years time Xvid (being a good standard of compessed media with decent quality) is thought of as crap.

I doubt time travel is that simple...
