Scrambling
to recover from a devastating earthquake, China finds its
Beijing Olympics plagued by political boycotts, an increasingly
deadly disease, poor air quality, and possible terrorist threats.
Is John Titor's prediction coming to pass?
CALL

A Chinese association based in Washington wants the Olympic
Games cancelled, in
the wake of Monday's earthquake in China's Sichuan province.
The death toll now stands at almost 15,000 people, affecting
seven Chinese provinces. But many believe the toll is as high
as 40,000 missing or dead. President of the Overseas Chinese
Democracy Coalition, Wei Jingsheng, wants the international
community to support his call for cancellation of the Games,
or, at the very least, the opening ceremony. He says the world
should not be celebrating, while thousands of people are dead,
dying or homeless.

...Other factors appear to have contributed to a change
in the air in Beijing as the Games approach, replacing an
atmosphere of excitement with one of gloom and suspicion.
Earlier
this year, Hollywood filmmaker Steven Spielberg dropped out
of his role as advisor to the opening and closing ceremonies
over China's link to the government of Sudan, blamed for genocide
in its western province of Darfur.
Then
came the jailing of civil rights defender Hu Jia, which was
denounced by critics of the communist party leadership as
evidence of a crackdown on free speech ahead of the Games.
Another
black mark for China came when marathon world record holder
Haile Gebrselassie said he was not prepared to "commit
suicide" by taking part in the event in Beijing's polluted
air.
China
has assured the 10,500 athletes coming to the Games that air
quality will be acceptable and has drawn up a series of measures
to honor its promise, including shutting factories and curbing
traffic.
But
the government has been unable to meet its pledge to offer
unfettered access to the country to reporters covering the
Games. Tibet and areas surrounding the Himalayan region still
remain off limits to journalists.

WAS
JOHN RIGHT? DOES TIME TRAVEL START AT CERN IN 2008?
2008:
DOES TIME TRAVEL START HERE?
AS
YOU may have heard, this will be the year. The Large
Hadron Collider - the most powerful atom-smasher ever
built - will be switched on, and particle physics will
hit pay-dirt. Yet if a pair of Russian mathematicians
are right, any advances in this area could be overshadowed
by a truly extraordinary event. According to Irina Aref'eva
and Igor Volovich, the LHC might just turn out to be
the world's first time machine.
TIME
TRAVEL START HERE THE WORLD'S FIRST TIME MACHINE?
TUNNEL
TO THE PAST COULD OPEN DOOR TO FUTURE WITHIN THREE MONTHS,
SAY RUSSIANS.
Time
travel could be a reality within just three months,
Russian mathematicians have claimed.
They
believe an experiment nuclear scientists plan to carry
out in underground tunnels in Geneva in May could create
a rift in the fabric of the universe.
ASK THE EXPERT!
Peter
Fisher answered viewer questions about particle smashing
at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and much more on
July 19, 2007. Please note that we are no longer accepting
questions, but please see The Big Deal and our links
and books section for more information.
Q:
Anticipating
the world of knowledge that may be revealed when the
LHC is in operation, what kinds of results do you think
the LHC will provide (e.g., information on other dimensions
or perhaps universes, the potential for new technologies,
etc.)? Is what you expect to see different from what
you hope to see?
Christopher Boss, Battle Creek, Michigan
A:
Actually,
I'm not sure what to expect to happen at the LHC. We
could see evidence for new universes or new dimensions,
or something we did not expect at all. As far as technology
is concerned, just building the accelerator and big
detectors have pushed magnet technology ahead a great
deal, not to mention computing, microelectronics, and
superconductors.
Q:
Do
you think the studies at CERN or elsewhere will be able
to tell us more about space and time, or potentially
make time travel possible?
Antonio Carlos Motta, Sao Paulo, Brazil
A:
Perhaps:
Several of the theoretical ideas relate our theory of
gravity, which incorporates our ideas of space and time,
with particle physics. So if we see certain kinds of
new particles, we could learn more about the structure
of space and time. Regarding time travel, it is very
hard to say. Most of the ideas of time travel rely on
your getting very close to incredibly massive objects
(called "cosmic strings"). While it could
be that the LHC tells us something about cosmic strings,
actually using them to travel in time would be very
difficult from a practical standpoint.

NEW
INSIGHTS INTO MAD COW DISEASE: DIVERSITY OF CREUTZFELDT-JAKOB
DISEASE AGENTS DISCOVERED
ScienceDaily
(Mar. 19, 2008) Researchers from the United Kingdom
and France have identified four separate biochemical
subgroups in a selection of cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob
disease. The study suggests that these subgroups could
represent distinct prion strains in what is the most
common human prion disease.
CRITICS SAY "DON'T TEST, DON'T FIND" IS RULE
FOR MAD COW DISEASE
After
the country's first mad cow case was found in 2003,
the federal government ramped up testing cattle for
the fatal disease.
But
three years later, citing the "extremely low"
incidence of the disease in the United States, officials
all but eliminated that extra testing, scaling the costly
program back by 90 percent.
Today,
about 40,000 -- or 0.1 percent -- of the 37 million
U.S. cows slaughtered each year are tested, a number
that consumer groups say is too low, especially when
compared to testing programs in other countries.
"Don't
look, don't find" might be a more apt way of describing
this country's testing program, said Michael Hansen,
a senior scientist at Consumers Union.
While
he was online, John said there would be no official
Olympics after 2004. Some point to this as proof he
was not a time traveler. Is it possible John changed
our time for the better and the Olympics did happen
or was he referring to the 2008 games, the same time
the shooting starts in the U.S. civil war. In either
case, are voices now being raised for the U.S. to boycott
the 2008 games?
POEM
FROM THE FUTURE?
In
2001, John was asked if he remembered any poetry from
the year 2036. John recited a few lines from a poem
he called "A Soldier's Winter". He said it
was written by a soldier, edited after his death and
adopted as a symbol in the future. Now, in our time,
A retired COL from the U.S. Army named Larry Cluck,
has written a poem entitled "A Soldier's Winter"
after John said it would be written!

IS
THIS PART OF A FEATURE LENGTH JOHN TITOR MOVIE?
Larry
Haber's office sent this link today. It takes you to
a video sharing website similar to You Tube except you
need to pay for some of the videos to watch them. One
of the videos for sale is a five minute short film about
John Titor. I did pay the $1.99 and downloaded it today.
The film appears to be a short drama of John's meeting
with his grandfather in 1975. It looks like the same
film used to create the You Tube video. You have to
watch it on a PC with WIndows 2000 or better (I found
out the hard way).
I
must admit I was surprised to see how different my vision
of this event was compared to what someone else put
on film. The film isn't bad and it has a beginning,
a middle and an end. I was a little confused about what
I saw until I watched it again. I won't spoil the surprise.
Again
with the Z Machine? Could this be the cryptic method
for cooling the time machine that John was suggesting?
ICE
CREATED IN NANOSECONDS BY SANDIA'S Z MACHINE
Sandias
huge Z machine, which generates termperatures hottter
than the sun, has turned water to ice in nanoseconds.
However, dont expect anything commercial just
yet: the ice is hotter than the boiling point of water.
"The three phases of water as we know them
cold ice, room temperature liquid, and hot vapor
are actually only a small part of waters repertory
of states," says Sandia researcher Daniel Dolan.
"Compressing water customarily heats it. But under
extreme compression, it is easier for dense water to
enter its solid phase [ice] than maintain the more energetic
liquid phase [water]."
"This
work," says Dolan, "is a basic science study
that helps us understand materials at extreme conditions."

THE
Z MACHINE AGAIN?
WHAT DID JOHN TITOR KNOW?
March,
2001 - (John spoke about the technology of his time
machine.)
The
"machine" with the energy to do it will come
on-line very soon. The "method" for doing
it has already been "mostly" perfected in
the Z machine at the National lab in New Mexico.
LOCAL
MAN-MADE BLACK HOLES COULD END THE WORLD
Perhaps
the most surprising black holes, however, are the ones
in New Mexico.
In
Albuquerque, at Sandia National Laboratories, in and
beneath a nondescript, flat-roofed compound, scientists
have created an amazing piece of technology they call
the Z Machine. Inside the Z Machine, power is discreetly
siphoned from the city and drawn into concentric circles
of enormous generators. Electricity from these numerous
generators is then shot through switches, hurled into
a vacuum chamber, torn across a vein-like network of
fine steel filaments and blasted from every side into
a miniscule space barely as big as a spool of thread.
There, the machine's more than 20 million amps of electricity
slam to a sudden, violent, fiery halt. And there, for
an instant, that tiny space can get hotter than the
inside of the sun. In the moment that follows, that
captive little star collapses in on itself to become
a miniature black hole - a man-made black hole, roiling,
pitch-dark and deep, in the Duke City's suburbs.
With
increasing power since the late 1990s, the Z Machine
has given scientists the chance to study the effects
of intense radiation without having to detonate nuclear
bombs. It has melted diamonds into puddles. It has allowed
physicists to study the effects of black holes and types
of stars on iron. It has taken scientists thrillingly
close to harnessing the power of fusion - a clean, limitless,
almost miraculous power. It has provided the potential
to change our lives forever, or to end them.
The
black holes created by the Z Machine generally evaporate
immediately, but if one ever happens to be stable, it
might destroy the planet.
BLACK
HOLE SINGULARITY, THE COMPLEX PLANE, THE HIGHER DIMENSIONS
OF IMAGINARY NUMBERS AND COMPLEX PHYSICS
When
you take the square root of a negative number, you get
an error in your calculator. The square root of a negative
number i.e. -1 is demoted in mathematics as i, called
the imaginary number. The mathematical functions surrounding
the imaginary number are in the typical complex w
plane. Mathematicians, physicists, and engineers deal
with that in a subject matter called complex Numbers.
When
complex numbers are used to make interpretations in
Physics, it is called the Complex Physics that is slightly
off the mainstream physics.
Scientists
and engineers all over the world are busy extending
the complex physics into the higher dimensions and black
hole singularities. Some interesting correlations are
coming out.
The
super string theory fits like T in the Complex Plane
around a Limit Cycle around the singularity of black
hole. The computer simulations now confirm existence
of higher dimensions. The black hole is the entry door
to the higher dimensions from our 3-D space time curvature.
GRAVITATIONAL
WAVE FINGERPRINT IN BLACK HOLE MERGERS SHOW THE FIRST
CLUE TO MULTIDIMENSIONAL TIME AND A LAB TO TEST THE
STRING THEORY
Astrophysicists
were able to simulate the head-on collision of two black
holes three decades ago, but computing the paths of
orbiting black holes and their violent merger proved
much harder.
Gravitational
wave fingerprint in black hole mergers questions the
contemporary physics about its real validity. Finally
scientists and skeptics are forced to look into the
aspects of the multidimensional time. The special dimensions
can be infinite. However, it is a definite signal for
confirming the string theory.
The
amount of energy required to shake up the fabric of
the space-time curvature is only available when two
black holes merge violently. The spectacular event actually
sends gravitational ripple effects all over the universe.
The
equations of general relativity can be easily written
down but are notoriously hard to solve. Astrophysicists
were able to simulate the head-on collision of two black
holes three decades ago, but computing the paths of
orbiting black holes and their violent merger proved
much harder. When all said and done physicists now are
perplexed how little we know about the actual
fabric of space-time curvature!
NOV

It
has always surprised me why that concept is so hard
for people to imagine and accept. Nothing would happen.
The universe would not end and there are no paradox
problems that threaten existence.
Temporal
space-time is made up of every possible quantum state.
The Everett Wheeler model is correct. I have met and/or
seen myself twice on different worldlines. The first
was a training mission and the second is now.
I
was born in 1998 so the other "me" is 2 on
this worldline. There is a saying where I come from,
"Every possible thing that can happen or will happen
has already happened somewhere".
PHYSICISTS
& PHILOSOPHERS PRESENT TIME TRAVEL
It
may seem impossible, but time travel could be a real
possibility, and with that possiblity coumes a slew
of difficult philosophical questions.
Beyond
the physical aspects of time travel are the philosophical
problems that could arise if people went back to the
future. There are two main paradoxes John Carroll, professor
of philosophy, covers in his class on time travel: the
"grandfather paradox" and the "self-visitation
paradox."
The
grandfather paradox examines what would happen if someone
went back in time and killed his or her grandfather
before his or her father was born -- the problem then
arising, how could the killer be born?
The
self-visitation paradox plays the mind game that if
someone went back in a time machine he could visit himself.
These
examples focus mainly on a one-dimensional travel experience,
meaning a person can only travel forward and backward
in one pathway. But with the introduction of string
theory became the possibility of a multidimensional
universe and multidimensional time travel.
Samuel
Harward, a senior in mechanical engineering, is working
on an honors independent study on multidimensional time
travel.
"It
is branching," he said. "Every option that
could occur does occur, so whatever path you take is
what you are experiencing."
This
possibility of a "multi-verse" can lead to
an identity paradox -- the problem that if infinite
world options of a person exist, which option is actually
the person? Where does his or her identity exist?
"Most
of my students are thinking Back to the Future or Bill
and Ted's ," Carroll said. "And they are surprised
to see that physicists take it seriously now. There
is a professor [Ronald Mallet] at the University of
Connecticut who is claiming to be building a machine
to go backward."

Law" you subscribe to?
GONZALES
QUESTIONS HABEAS CORPUS
In
one of the most chilling public statements ever made
by a U.S. Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales questioned
whether the U.S. Constitution grants habeas corpus rights
of a fair trial to every American.
Responding
to questions from Sen. Arlen Specter at a Senate Judiciary
Committee hearing on Jan. 18, Gonzales argued that the
Constitution doesnt explicitly bestow habeas corpus
rights; it merely says when the so-called Great Writ
can be suspended.
There
is no expressed grant of habeas in the Constitution;
theres a prohibition against taking it away,
Gonzales said.
Gonzaless
remark left Specter, the committees ranking Republican,
stammering.
Wait
a minute, Specter interjected. The Constitution
says you cant take it away except in case of rebellion
or invasion. Doesnt that mean you have the right
of habeas corpus unless theres a rebellion or
invasion?
Gonzales
continued, The Constitution doesnt say every
individual in the United States or citizen is hereby
granted or assured the right of habeas corpus. It doesnt
say that. It simply says the right shall not be suspended
except in cases of rebellion or invasion.
That
Attorney General Gonzales would express such an extraordinary
opinion, doubting the constitutional protection of habeas
corpus, suggests either a sophomoric mind or an unwillingness
to respect this well-established right, one that the
Founders considered so important that they embedded
it in the original text of the Constitution.
Other
cherished rights including freedom of religion
and speech were added later in the first 10 amendments,
known as the Bill of Rights.

REVEAL PLAN FOR MEXICAN TRUCKS IN U.S.
Jerome
R. Corsi / World Net Daily | July 6 2006
Despite
claims to the contrary, a planned Midwest "inland
port" with a Mexican customs office will
not be restricted to railroad traffic, according
to internal documents obtained by WorldNetDaily.
As WND has reported, Kansas City SmartPort plans
to utilize deep-sea Mexican ports such as Lazaro
Cardenas to unload containers from China and the
Far East as part of the North American Free Trade
Agreement super-highway plan.
The
plan would include the hotly contested allowance
of Mexican trucks on U.S. roads, WND has reported,
but Tasha Hammes of the Kansas City Area Development
Council has insisted the port will be restricted
to railroad traffic. Hammes has argued the railroad
link is "nothing new, other than the fact
that Kansas City Southern acquired the Mexican
railroad serving this port and that major work
has been done on the port of Lazaro Cardenas so
that it has higher capacity and can handle larger
containers." But internal e-mails make it
clear that officials, hoping to stay below the
radar of public opinion, plan to expand from rail
to trucks after the Mexican customs facility is
operational.
