What time is it?

The Government of the future won't allow anyone to post messages to the past. I'll probably be arrested some day for for writing this.

If time travel is real, we now live in the effect of time travel on us and this means all time travel by the entire future; including alien life. It does not seem likely that this is so, so I think there will be no time travel ever, past, present, or future. In a way, time creates reality, so if we could visit all times any time, reality as we know it would not excist.

Hypothetically, if one were to travel through time, how would one find the EV-47g103 unit? This is merely a hyothetical question.

So whatever happens, Why will we be the only universe that nothing happens? Why can't the Universe that is changed be our own and a Univers be created just like ours with the text not changed? Isn't it a 50/50 chance? If anyone has more info on this I'd like ot hear it.

Its time

qg

what we really need to do is have a mandate that the human race will spend endless amounts of time and effort to create a
time travel device. then have another mandate that commanded that when travel became possible that someone would bring the technology to us at a precise time and place. I suggest that the time be right when the mandates are made official. then we would receive the technology relativly instantly.

Many have inserted text. Which of course spawned another universe, in which the text is visable. We are proven to be in a different universe at this time since we cannot see the text.

Hi, I'm from the future, but I couldn't be bothered to write in the box, and any typo's in this post are just future dialect, honest. President Bush gets assasinated on 4th July this year, by me, to stop him nuking Australia, he says it is the 4th July's biggest fireworks display. Typical. Oh, and If you ever hear of a band named Phoenix Down, buy their album, by 2025 they will be collectors items, trust me.

You may assume that a 'person' from the future would be wasting his time surfing the net looking for a blank to fill in.......would that be an 'advanced thing' for someone from the future to do? I think not!
  "The Truth is out there......but probably not on the NET!"

Typing a message in the box would indicate that a timemachine has been/will be built. This information would have a calculated and predetermined effect or else it would be a silly folly for a time traveler to fill in the blank. If you believe in time travel and hope for this test to be compleated as proof then you must believe that humans would interfer with the past inorder to make the "best possible" future. It is then reasonable to assume that everything is predetermined and thus that fate exists and that we as humans create our own fate all at once. Then we can assume that the only reason a person from the future would fill in the box would be if it would cause the best possible outcome. The box remaining unfilled is an indicator that we are not supposed to be any the wiser. Who knows, maybe in a few years time we will be God.

How would we know for sure that your test is not influenced by some hacker? Let's also do the test with an audio file, so we can hear what the future travelers offer us.

The simple fact about time is this: it does not exist. There is only one moment in time, here in the lower worlds that we can ever experience and that is "NOW". Therefore, we are living in eternity already. Atlantis is exploding right now. Custer is having his last stand right now. The Chinese or the Koreans are discovering North America first right now.(No way was it Columbus, thats out and out hogwash, heck the Vikings were here way before Columbus) Our sun is going nova right now. We are all self realized, God/Spirit realized souls right NOW. Thus, we are all in our respective heavens/Higher Planes right NOW. Ever Evolving Higher and Higher Spiritualy, RIGHT NOW. So take this a step farther, if we are there now, that means we can go to a certain level / one of the Higher Planes and view the akashic records of each and every single incarnation we ever had. So, in a certain way he is right, we can travel in time, you just need the proper body to do it with. My suggestion would be to use the Soul Body so you can forget that gold or silver cord thingy that gets in the way.

OK, the morse code thingie says,

"This is a secret message from Cliff Pickover. Who among you will be the first to read its true meaning? Do you enjoy the RealityCarnival?"

So what is my prize? Dr. Who's phone booth?

I noticed a faint flickering in the field in which you want the future creatures to type. Stare at it a while. You'll see something too. Could that be some kind of sign?

I do believe that, in the future, humankind will develop fantastic technology. If they could send a message back in time, what would attract them to this page? You have to have a newspaper write about this page to make it famous, so that future beings will know about it.

Can you outfit your web page with an alarm that would let you know if future technologists added words to your page?

This cannot work, due to the precept of "mallum-absurdum fractalcalicum re-pie." The future entities caused you to create this experiment in the first place, with no inntention of answering it. If they answered from the future, they could somehow alter the future they live in, by having altered the present we live in that will lead up to; and help to create their future world. Of course by them choosing not to answer, shows that they cannot participate in our present, (their past,) they can only observe it. In this case, you thought up the experiment yourself, and the future people did not prod you into it. Of course with the intersection of alternate realities, both theories could be true. In this case, they caused you to think up the experiment yourself, and this is in fact, the answer you are seeking.

I just gotta ask -- if they can travel back to any point in time, why wait for their response. The response should be there by the time you post the page.

How long is your hosting contract?

That's what I thought.

Hi, in response to "Demitria Monde Thraam", if an advanced being from the future has technology so advanced that they can shape the past or travel to the past, certainly they could alter a web page. Well, that's my guess.

Also, maybe the advanced being traveled back in time and talked to Dr. Cliff Pickover 30 years from now and asked him the password.

Okay, our future visitor DOES find the page. How is s/he going to know either the password of your messageboard account or the password for the hosting account that the creator of this messageboard uses to make changes to the site as a whole? One must have one of these to put text into an HTML page that doesn't have a textbox form.

I point this out only to make a note of the fact that just because your hypothetical futurians have (or will have) the ability to travel back in time would not necessarily mean that they would automatically also have the ability to hack into webservers and change HTML pages stored on them.

Perhaps these futurian friends would have some sort of astounding techno-psionic interfacing ability that would allow them to change the contents of a web page just by thinking about doing it--the result of which would be that the entire World Wide Web would become an enormous Wiki.

To respond to Saf's previous question, "how would they find that web-page?" -- if the web page became famous, e.g. it was reported on in the NY Times, then a person 50 years from know conceivably would know about it.

Presuming that people could hypothetically travel back in time (a far-fetched idea, that), how would they find that web-page? Seems sort of obscure.

I don't believe that people in the future could alter the past, because that would create paradoxes -- unless you believe some of the parallel-universe theories that say that an alteration of the past would simply spawn a new universe, and the old univese would not be affected.

Even assuming that an advanced race would leave a message, what sort of message would they leave?

This experiment could be a serious one. If humans and their technology advance beyod our wildest deams during this century, who knows what technology they could create?
