RE: John Titor: Time Traveler or Hoax?
I believe he is just a guy who did a fun prank, my problem with his theory is the same one as @custone's. That being said I love daydreaming about the time travel and once I was high with a few friends of mine we decided to make the experiment if time travel available to us will be invented during our lifetime. We agreed that we would travel back to time to that day, about a hour later and inform ourselves.
Being high as we were, we forgot that we have ordered food. When the food delivery guy rang the bell, for a few moments atmosphere was very eerie.
Being high as we were at the time, few months later none of us could remember which date that was so it is hard to believe any of us will remember it if the time travel is invented in lets say 20 years, so theory has not yet been disproved. :D
I also love daydreaming about time travel! That's an amazing story with you and your friends, I did the same with a few friends in high school! but what if time travel is real but we are not allowed to intervene?
That could explain the photos with people out of their time with different clothes and items from their era, maybe they got caught in photos by accident or being caught in a photo is not enough to change a timeline...
If we weren't allowed to intervene, in a way it wouldn't be available to us. It would probably be heavily restricted in a similar way possessing materials for creating nuclear power plant is today.
