It seems strange that CERN would be such an authoritarian regime. Scientists are generally a liberal bunch. What went wrong?
They gained power that they were not suited to use, and abused it. Maybe they think their intentions were for the best: everyone else in the world disagrees.
Have you ever heard of Taured?
Never.
For a time traveler your language definitely sounds very 2015. Language evolves fast you know.
I wouldn't know. I've had to research multiple idioms I've seen here, and I'm trying to avoid similar phrases in my own words. I can't say how similar my language is, I haven't had any real basis with which to compare. From what I have seen however, you seem especially closed-minded towards my claims: which is fine, I don't expect everyone to believe me, but your opinion is not an objective truth.
That doesn't change the fact that he making claims that contradict the laws of physics.
What laws would those be? Where I come from several laws are more clearly defined (such as string theory and dark matter). The only contradictions are the laws that are, at present, falsely defined or hastily reached.
How does the environment know how to observe a set of numbers you plug into your machine to be able to determine how far in time it goes back, or forward?
I don't plug in numbers: I set the magnets to a specific intensity and duration, and that's what does the work. It's the same as applying a force to a static object. The intensity and duration I arrive at through calculation, for smoothest and fastest ride possible: while I could alter just the duration or just the intensity, it wouldn't be safe. In the early days of time travel, those who went too hastily have never been seen again, perhaps thrown from the machine in transit. As for long term travel, no one is conscious during the transition. I don't know why, it just never happens; the instant the resonance starts, I'm out like a bug. I remember a story, that might be a myth, of someone who came back after a long transition, only to be raving and insane.
I do put a lot of work into arriving at the intensity and length of any journey.
If people are clued up, I'm sure they will understand that TIME is a man made concept.
Everything is a constructed concept, but they are concepts made to enable understanding of existence. Time is just another dimension: casually, another direction.
If you were a real time traveler, you wouldn't be wasting your time on forums playing guessing games with people. You would either show it to be true by telling a few immediate truths about the immediate future...and when I say immediate, I mean in the next few days or week.
I'm doing much more than what you see here. I am following multiple leads, noting down what I can find on the internet (a research tool my time has no access to) on strategic locations and possible weapons, in case the resistance will still need to fight. I have noted down major figures in CERN, and I am learning their history: if it's needed we can prevent the organization ever existing.
This forum is only one of my endeavors. It will be more open to the absurd than most, and I may be able to change the actions of a handful of people. The hummingbird effect will then take hold.
There are many theories on how to bypass 1% divergence. I'm going for the brute force approach: we'll see about alternatives.
I don't need to be accepted as genuine, it's fine if you reject me. As for making predictions, I honestly wouldn't know. Time travel isn't accurate enough to get me to the exact week/month I want, especially on long jumps: in addition, the net in my time barely exists, and historical data is lacking, hard to find, and otherwise useless. The only long term results I know are tragedies: President Sanders may be one prediction like you wish, if there are any candidates by that name, but I don't know the details. He could be VP who took over, someone who hasn't yet come onto the scene, a descendant or relative, someone who took the surname (without the hyphen, as I think is common in this time) of an existing person... And, if I am successful, those tragedies won't happen, so the related predictions may also not.
I honestly hope you never believe what I have to say. That would mean I succeeded.
