Although John said he would not make predictions or tell us
what happens in the future, he did make enough comments that
leave a trail of what might be called predictions. The following
section contains all of the comments John made about the future,
the technology of time travel and cryptic comments that seemed
out of context.
The
web sites attached are based on my own searches. In most cases,
I looked up the term John mentions and then searched under
the results with the word "time travel" or any other
phrase he mentioned. I hope to add the rest of his posts by
month in the coming weeks.)

I was just about to give up hope on anyone knowing who Tipler
or Kerr was on this worldline.

The basics for time travel start at CERN in about a year and
end in 2034 with the first "time machine" built
by GE.

I saw the posting requesting the basic systems for a gravity
distortion system that will allow time travel. Here they are:
1.
Magnetic housing units for dual microsignularities.
2. Electron injection manifold to alter mass and gravity of
microsingularities.
3. Cooling and x-ray venting system
4. Gravity sensors (VGL system)
<http://www.lacosteromberg.com/sensor.html>
5.
Main clocks (4 cesium units)

6.
Main computer units (3)

A world war in 2015 killed nearly three billion people.

I am aware that research is being done on faster units with
more accurate clocks. I imagine that they will be able to
go back farther with a higher degree of divergence confidence.

Unfortunately,
there were not very many suitable vehicles around in 2036
and I sold the car when I arrived in 2000.
(HOST:
This isn't a prediction but it occurred to me that
someone is driving around in a car that is not from this time.)

I suppose we could agree that no particular era in history
is famous for its development of humanity but just once I
would like to hear questions like, "What is family life
like in the future? How does society deal with poverty? Is
AIDS, abortion and drug use still a problem?"

The mass and gravitational field of a microsingularity can
then be manipulated by "injecting" electrons onto
its surface.

By rotating two electric microsigularities at high speed,
it is possible to create and modify a local gravity sinusoid
that replicates the affects of a Kerr black hole.
(10)
The computer system is connected to the unit through an electrical
bus. There are actually three computers linked together that
take the same signals from the gravity sensors and clocks.
They use a Borda error correcting protocol that checks the
integrity of the data and trips the VGL system.

The C206 uses 6 cesium clocks but they use an optical system
to check the oscillation frequency. This makes the worldline
divergence confidence much higher.

People raise a great deal of their own food and do more "farm"
work. Yes, compared to now, we do work long hours. After the
war, my father made a living selling oranges up and down the
West coast of Florida. My closest friend raises horses and
another works for a company that maintains "wireless"
Internet nodes.

Yes, there is a post office.
(14)
The Internet is still alive and well in the future. People
spend more time talking because life is more centered on the
community.
(15)
When I'm with my parents, I live in a community made up of
"tree houses" on a large river in Florida. The river
floods sometimes and we have access to the Gulf. Most of our
neighbors make a living off the sea or in moving cargo by
boat.
(16)
There is a civil war in the United States that starts in 2005.
That conflict flares up and down for 10 years. In 2015, Russia
launches a nuclear strike against the major cities in the
United States (which is the "other side" of the
civil war from my perspective), China and Europe. The United
States counter attacks. The US cities are destroyed along
with the AFE (American Federal Empire)...thus we (in the country)
won. The European Union and China were also destroyed. Russia
is now our largest trading partner and the Capitol of the
US was moved to Omaha Nebraska.
(17)
Yes, genetic engineering is used but it's like any other technology.
It can be good and bad. One thing we did not do was create
more hybrid seeds. What are people thinking?
<http://www.genewatch.org/GeneSrch/Traits/Traits.htm>
What
future technologies can we look forward to?
(18)
Hydrogen fuel cells and more efficient solar cells are big
deals. Computer technology and software get MUCH better.
(19)
After the war, early new communities gathered around the current
Universities. That's where the libraries were. I went to school
at Fort UF, which is now called the University of Florida.
Not too much is different except the military is large part
of people's life and we spend a great deal of time in the
fields and farms at the "University" or Fort.
(20)
Yes, we have cameras. More digital. Film is used like painting
is today. No hologram camera though.
(21)
Yes we have phones but the service is through the web. Most
power generation is localized.
(22)
Yes, solar is big. There is thought that a singularity generator
could also be used but most people are against it.

Hats are more common in the future and flashy colors are less
common. Dress is much more functional and we "dress up"
whenever we get a chance.
(24)
Women like to wear their hair longer and men have it much
shorter. Both sexes shave it all off when they're in active
military service.
(25)
Far less medical treatment in the future even though It's
more advanced. People die when they now its time to die. No
lasers. Genetic medicine and cloning organs are the obvious
new techs in the future.

What
type of system is used to maintain the singularity?
(26)
I'm not a physicist so I cannot answer that to your level
of sophistication. The singularities are held in an enclosed
magnetic field.

If
you're telling the truth, the last thing you should be doing
is talking about the war and the government.
(27)
Have you considered that your society might be better off
if half of you were dead?
November

Tell
me anything like that and I will believe you forever.
(28)
It is a mistake to give anyone your unwavering belief...but
you will find that out yourself in 2005.

Why
did you go to 1975?
(29)
We need they system to "debug" various legacy computer
programs in 2036. UNIX has a problem in 2038.

It is thought that being close to a gravitational field has
a biological effect on all matter including cells. The effect
is to slow the movement of electrons in the orbits of their
nucleus, which slows the mechanical and biological functions
of the observer close to the gravity. Thus the passing of
time is a local phenomenon depending on how close you are
to a gravitational source.
This
is one example of a theory involving "time shells"
progressing in size and intensity around a gravitational point
from all matter. The more massive the object, the larger and
more influential the time shells around it (like an onion).
Another offshoot of this theory is that kinetic energy is
actually the conversion of stored energy in the atom as it
passes through time shells in a gravitational field.

If
telling us about your time machine won't change anything,
what would happen if someone built one based on your information?
(31)
What you do on your worldline is your own business. I can't
think of any better way to start a war than for someone to
figure out how to make a time machine. Go for it.

For a change, I have a question for all of you. I want you
to think very hard. What major disaster was expected and prepared
for in the last year and a half that never happened?
(HOST:
It is generally agreed that John is referring to the
Y2K bug.)
(33)
We live in a world recovering from years of war, poison, destruction
and hate. All of it, courtesy of the thinking and actions
of people that live right now in the same world you do, worrying
about which stocks to buy or whether or not a stranger is
lying to them on the Internet.

I know exactly where I was and every detail of the exact moment
the first nuclear warheads began falling on Jacksonville.

While you sit by and watch your Constitution being torn away
from you, you willfully eat poisoned food, buy manufactured
products no one needs and turn an uncaring eye away from millions
of people suffering and dying all around you. Is this the
"Universal Law" you subscribe to?
(36)
Perhaps I should let you all in on a little secret. No one
likes you in the future. This time period is looked at as
being full of lazy, self-centered, civically ignorant sheep.
Perhaps you should be less concerned about me and more concerned
about that.

On my worldline, it is known that the 5100 series is capable
of reading all the IBM code written before the widespread
use of APL and Basic. Unfortunately, there are none left that
anyone can find on my worldline.

My worldline is not unified under a single government but
I would say it is closer to a unified purpose. Isn't that
what you want anyway?

I have tried to tell people about CJD disease and it seems
to be "catching on" in Europe.

Can
you tell us the foods that are unsafe now? Is there anything
we can do to prepare for the war you are describing?
(40)
I tried to consolidate your questions into a basic list. I
hope this helps.
1.
Do not eat or use products from any animal that is fed and
eats parts of its own dead.
2.
Do not kiss or have intimate relations with anyone you do
not know.
3.
Learn basic sanitation and water purification.
4.
Be comfortable around firearms. Learn to shoot and clean a
gun.
5.
Get a good first aid kit and learn to use it.
6.
Find 5 people within 100 miles that you trust with your life
and stay in contact with them.
7.
Get a copy of the US Constitution and read it.
8.
Eat less.
9.
Get a bicycle and two sets of spare tires. Ride it 10 miles
a week.
10.
Consider what you would bring with you if you had to leave
your home in 10 min. and never return.
What
event started the war? Can it be stopped?
(41)
The war is a result of faulty politics and desperation from
Western leadership during the US civil war. Yes, I suppose
you could stop it.
Are
some areas of the United States safer than others?
(42)
Take a close look at the county-by-county voting map from
the last elections.
<http://rosecity.net/al_gore/election_map.html>
Were
biological or chemical weapons used in the war? Were any weapons
used that effected people's minds?
(43)
Yes there were biological and chemical weapons used. No mind
control weapons but there are new "non-lethal" weapon
systems that turn out to be quite lethal.
Has
cancer or AIDS been cured yet?
(44)
Aids, no. Cancer, some progress.
<http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/564867.stm>
What
is the one thing you would want us to remember?
(45)
Please, please wake up. Look at the signposts around you now.
