How To Build a Time Machine

I've spent well over a year in subjective time reliving the same two days. I've spent nearly all that time working on how best to reach the Gate Worldline, exactly between attractor fields where we won't be drawn to one of two futures.
And it's impossible. Divergence, thanks to the hummingbird effect, is nearly impossible to caculate. If we're 0.000000000001% off, we're not in the Gate Worldline, and my divergence meter doesn't have that level of detail. None do.

I'm going a different route. I want to go to a completely different attractor field. Negative divergence, 10% divergence, anything. I just need to make ripples: enough and we'll leave both the Alpha and Beta attractor fields. I don't know where we'll end up, but we'll see.

I'm going to make as many changes as I can. I took a brief leap forwards to check. In 2016, Jeb Bush wins the US election. I am going to do everything in my power to prevent that. I ask you to do the same. I don't care if you believe me or not, but is it worth the risk?

I am also going to make public the easiest form of time machine to build in the present day. physical time travel is impossible, but you will at the very least be able to send D-mails: text and email messages, by phone, to the past (or possibly future. Past is all I have seen, but future is possible).

The Time Machine

You will need a CRT TV, and a microwave. The bigger the CRT the better, the one I have seen relies on a 42-inch.
I don't know the kind of microwave, but the mechanisms shouldn't be too different. More powerful the better, I suppose. The one I have observed is battered and scratched: and has had the door removed. That helps. The door must be open for the phenomenon to occur.

Turn on the TV. If you live in a two-floor house, position the TV on the bottom floor, vertically below the microwave. Have the microwave on the top floor. While the TV is playing, have the microwave run with the door open. You will observe an electrical discharge: send a text message during that event, with the phone's signal passing through the inside of the microwave.

That's a far more primitive description than even the shockingly crude system I've spent the last days/year with.
If that doesn't work, there are a few more minor changes. The microwave I have been using seems to have been rigged so that the turntable turns the opposite direction to usual. In addition, for some reason the phone has been plugged into the microwave. If it's any help, the initial aim was to be able to send a text to the plugged in phone, and turn the microwave on that way. (#120 for two minutes. If you do this, send 120# instead).
I don't know whether either of those details are going to be useful. I can't see why they would have an effect, but to be entirely honest it beggars belief that the contraption even works at all.

If you're interested in the science, it relies on the Kerr black hole/lifter model of time travel. The microwave functions as a small particle accelerator, colliding particles at a high rate. The CRT functions as a lifter, injecting electrons, which creates a naked singularity through which transmission is possible. (However, you can only send a small message. Anything else would be erased).
Don't try to change the past until you know it works: just send spam. Your past self will ignore it, and it won't change the worldline so you can check it worked.

You can ignore this if you want. I'm just hoping to cause ripples.

About how much can we go back with this?

About how much can we go back with this?

Interesting question. Theoretically, with perfect alignment, as far as you want. You're highly unlikely to get perfect alignment, with this kind of shoddy set-up though. Even my time machine has a range, though I can get as far back as I want in increments.
The existing 'phonewave' (twit who invented it comes up with awful names, just be glad it's not an anime reference) I've been working with has been able to go back several decades. With suitable tweaking, it could send messages to pagers, rather than phones.
I can't say exact range. To be honest I can't say for certain how that mess works, so it's hard to eat the numbers. It should be able to go at least as far back as there are phones to receive the message you're sending. Range depends on the time you set in the microwave.
It should have a few centuries in it, but that's overkill. There'd be nothing to receive what you send.

Hm. I'll just send some spam to tfes.org with an alt.

I know how to go back in time

Step 1: go back in time to before the first iraq war

Step 2: go to the site at which the americans fist secured when invading iraq

Step 3: find the ancient stargate at the site

Step 4: figure out how it works

Step 5: destroy it so the 'governments' can't retrieve it for themselves apon the beggining if the war

Step 6: build your own

Step 7: go through the right wormholes so that it will take you back in time

(Note the first step is possibe due to the same idea as behind the terminator movies)

Lol

I dont know much about timetravvel and how it would work so i can in no way tell you this is balloney but when you talked about  presidential elections i cringed (not because i was eating sherbert as i read it)
The whole idea of a free vote is pretty rigged: the votes can and have been altered by the people behind the scenes (the people that supress and shame flat earthers, and lie a out global events such as 911) even after someone is elected they are not realy in charge. They are persuaded and told to do things from behind the scenes, essentially they are the puppets and these people are pulling the strings. The reason abraham lincoln and JFK were assasinated is because they didn't follow instructions and their actions would deprive the puppeteers of their power.

So in conclusion changing who was voted would not realy change a thing

I intend to rig the election, don't worry. I can sneak into most placed with my time machine, so as long as I educate myself properly on how it works, I should be successful.
I wouldn't know enough to comment on the vote system. We don't have one in my time. I just know a alternative method would be fairly hard to force.

There are a few ways to achieve time travel, if you're interested. The most widely used is to use a naked singularity: a black hole without the event horizon. Black holes I think are, even in this time, known to be useful for time travel. The problem is, once you go in one, there's no way out. Naked singularities are rotating black holes (Kerr black holes), for which the event horizon is stripped away. The injection of electrons (the lifter) keeps the singularity open for more than an instant.
The theory is actually surprisingly trivial, when you know the answer. The problem, like most things, is in knowing the right way to think.

Just make sure we don't get another Bush and we'll be fine.

Do Bushes have a bad reputation in this time? His values certainly seem out of date compared to what I know, but I wasn't aware he was so hated even now. I've no idea how he could have won, then.

Help!!!!!  I built a machine to you specs.  I must have missed a step in the stabilization field,  I have lived this day over and over, must be about ten times already.  I am trying to trouble shoot the issue, but it seems that by the time I get to fixing the issue, the time machine reboots and I begin the day over.

Have you ever run into this issue?  Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know if you're being serious. Very curious if you are, however. It seems you have designed a form of time leap machine: an advancement of D-Mails made to send the memories of your current self into your past self when they pick up the phone, rather than just a message to the phone.
The only such machine I know relies on a computer that's hacked into the LHC and has access to its black hole. Do you have anything similar? Switching it off should work.
If you have the time machine working, perhaps simply send yourself a D-mail (an email through the machine, sent back in time) to not build the device.

If not, I may need more details. Does the reset always trigger, no matter where you are or what you're doing? What happens when you appear in your past self: are you, for example, holding a phone?

If you loop again soon, remember the word Barrel. Contact me with that term: it has meaning to me. I don't think I've posted it before. Contact me when I haven't posted that word, in the past, and I will give you the contact details of a man with his own time leap machine. You can work together: he can loop with you.

I hope my above is useful. My boss is complaining that I'm on the forum (We don't have any customers, I've no idea why he needs me), so I have to go. If none of it works, remember the codeword.

Unfortunately, this is the same advice you give every time, however, the codeword changes each iteration of the loop.  It appears that the day is the same, every time, but there are some subtle differences.  I fear that each iteration of the loop is creating another timeline.  Maybe, eventually the process will allow for the change that you seek.  Thousands of 1% changes might eventually stop CERN from taking over the world.  Do you know of any key events that happened on July 2 nd that I could keep any eye out for?  That might indicate the change has taken effect?

Also, do you think it might have something to do with the recent leap second that was implemented?  I might not have calibrated correctly for it.  It just seems too much of a coincidence to ignore.

About how much can we go back with this?

Can I just go back a few hours so that I play the winning PowerBall numbers?

Thanks to you I now have a microwaved iPhone.

The codeword may change, but as long as it is something of significance to me, I will recognize it. I don't know if you're still in the loop or found your way out of it, but please do inform me of the word.

Also, do you think it might have something to do with the recent leap second that was implemented?  I might not have calibrated correctly for it.  It just seems too much of a coincidence to ignore.

I'm not sure how you could calibrate. I don't think to would even be possible to calibrate this mess.

Can I just go back a few hours so that I play the winning PowerBall numbers?

You can't physically travel back, but you can text yourself the winning numbers. However, the problem with D-Mail is that it's random what the result will be. You might have accidentally copied one badly, or asked a friend to get the ticket, or...

Thanks to you I now have a microwaved iPhone.

Don't put your phone in the microwave, then. Underneath or plugged in should be fine.

Instructions unclear. Dick stuck in microwave now. Please help.

What would happen if an object, say for instance a banana, were to be placed in the microwave during the activation of the time machine?

I'm not entirely sure how you managed that. You're on your own.

Good question. Theoretically, it would be transported back in time too. If it was part of the bunch, it would probably end up on the bunch it was picked from. However, the singularity used is a primitive one: only a limited amount of data can be sent through. That's why messages will cut off, after just a few characters, for those who've designed theirs already. The structure of the banana will be damaged a great deal: the nickname was 'gelnana', the molecular structure was so damaged it turned into a kind of gel.
It was one of the main obstacles, along with staying on the Earth's surface, in the early days of time travel.

John, if you expect any of us to believe you then you should provide some math relating to all that time travel stuff.  You claim to know it quite well, so please do share.

John Titor: what kind of time clock do you have on your time machine, plus date and what process do you use to set them?

There are no clocks on the machine, just a device. I have to do the maths to work out the intensity and duration to which to set the magnets. It was made while on the move, there was no time to tidy it up with details like a clock, I set the destination by working out how much time I want to go back, and what would be required to do that.

So what do you use to set a destination and time. You must use some kind of dial and also, how do you actually know where you will land back in time?
Just remember that your Earth spins, so factor that in if you're going to use landing on the same spot as you set off from.

The time of destination is calculated by how much power I choose to use. The dial measures voltage (and time of exposure) to the electromagnets. The calculations I do by hand go from the time I want to go to, and calculate the strength of the magnetic field I want to exert with respect to voltage (and its subsequent Thalian point), and duration of exposure.
The three steps are determining the voltage in terms of duration, determining the Thalian point with respect to voltage, and then optimizing.

I've done the calculations. I didn't do the final step: it's basic linear optimization, and the example I used was a one-year calculation which is far too small a scale to optimize.
One year simplified matters. There's a value called Daru's constant, which is the strength of the magnetic field needed to go back one year (I have't memorized the derivation, just the value). I'd have a exponential hanging around, and that would complicate matters further. The important maths was done in steps one and two.

Does anyone know how I can upload an image to this site?

As for the movement of the Earth, the machine works by resonance along strings of matter. It's kept fastened to one specific string, so all that happens is that it goes back along the timeline of that string of matter, keeping fixed in terms of location with respect to it. That's what my stabilizers do. I'm not always in the exact same spot, but I never leave the world.

So, if you're not exactly in the same spot, you could basically land balancing on a viaduct or house roof, or in the sea or something like that, right?

So to travel in time you must do a Mike Tee Vee from Charlie and the chocolate factory. Like Wonka vision where you are mixed into billions of particles, sent back to when you played with your knob and were put back together somewhere, or is there another fantasy way of doing it?

Conceivably, though it's rare that the selected material was from a dangerous place.
I'm not sure what a Mike Tee Vee is. However, if I'm going to go into a solid object, the machine is pushed to the closest accessible time, forward or back.
I'm also careful. I don't go back a thousand years at a time. If I'm in a building, it's in increments of say ten years, outside a century.
There's also a quick-release, for the rare situations you describe. I've ended up in total darkness before (a mine, I suspect, I never found out). There's a lever that takes a second to pull, and it instantly pulls me back to where I came from, following the resonance. It's uncomfortable to go that quickly, but it does work.

Thank you for the advice. I looked at paint, but it doesn't seem easy to write equations in, especially not lengthy ones, and I don't have time to learn how to use a new program. I wrote the equations by hand, and uploaded photos.
My handwriting isn't the best, usually I'm the only one who needs to interpret this. Let me know if any points need clarification.

I divided it into three steps. Determining the necessary voltage to use (with respect to the time to apply the magnet). Two, determining the Thalian point of the magnetic field. Three, optimizing the voltage and duration. The final step I didn't do: it's common knowledge, but on the small year scale (it tidies the calculations), it's nearly impossible to show.
I think all constants and variables are defined.

A quick note on Thalian points, as I don't think that's common knowledge. The gist is that all fundamental forces operate over all the dimensions of strings of matter, even if not equally in all of them. That includes magnetism. If M is the magnetic field's strength over three dimensions, and Mu is its strength over all twenty six dimensions.
Then when the ratio of M and Mu is at its largest, that is the Thalian point: that is, when Mu/M is larger than it is at any other point, so when the effect in the higher dimensions is maximized.

John, get yourself LibreOffice's equation editor or another LaTex editor equivalent.
