(One last question, Can anybody operate the 204 unit? Or is it
safe guarded by a "key of some kind? Thanks for answering. Yes,
you would be welcome at my home.)
The unit has two security systems to protect it from "most"
people. One, it has a code that must be entered correctly.
Second, and probably more effective now, the unit can not be
used by anyone who can't add and subtract.

The first "leg" of my trip was from 2036 to 1975. After two VGL
checks, the divergence was estimated at about 2.5% (from my
2036). I was "sent" to get an IBM computer system called the
5100. It was one the first portable computers made and it has
the ability to read the older IBM programming languages in
addition to APL and Basic. 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 thus 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

What you do on your world line 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? think very hard. What major disaster was expected and

21 November 2000 10:41 (about the future) 82
On my world line, life is not easy. 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.

My first experience with war came when I joined a shotgun
infantry unit at the age of thirteen. In the 4 years I served as
a ?rebel?, I watched hundreds of people get shot, burn and bleed
to death. 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

Pamela: 1.What exactly would an observer see as they saw you
arriving in this time? and exactly what would they see as you
departed? would you just appear suddenly or slowly? would you
look like a heat mirage for awhile? any light effects? or hazy
misty shimmering distortion?
Time travel_0- The observation of time travelers "appearing"
suddenly in a world line do not happen very often. There are two
cases and two points of view to consider. In the first case, the
time machine does not move as it goes from one world line to
another and then returns. The people watching on the original
world line would wave good bye and watch as the machine is
turned on. There would be a static discharge and the air would
appear to "ripple" as if it were getting denser. Then, it would
stop and the machine will have appeared to have gone no where.
If the machine doesn't move its position from world line to
world line, the observer would not see it disappear at all. In
the second case, if the machine is moved, it would disappear
from the viewpoint of the observer and return in a different
location based on where it was moved and turned on from the
destination world line. In that case, the rippling seems to
dissolve the machine and it disappears. If that happens while
you are watching it leave and you expect it to return, you know
it was moved or had a serious malfunction. It is actually quite
dangerous to get too close to a distortion unit as it enters or
leaves a world line. It vents radiation and has a very strong
localized gravity field. Personally, I worry about that a great
deal.
22 November 2000 20:58 (about time travel) 87
Pamela:2.What is the dimension of the field around the car? How
many feet out from the car would you say it goes?
Timetravel_0-It can be adjusted to some degree. The CG (center
of gravity) is adjustable within about 4 feet and the unit is
effective about 10 to 12 feet in either direction from there.
The vertical distance is quite a bit shorter and is determined
by sensors in the unit.
22 November 2000 20:58 (about time travel) 88
Pamela:3.approximately in inches how much of the ground is taken
with you in one trip?
timetravel_0-Depending on weather or not you are going forward
or backward, the footprint of the unit is different. I wouldn't
quite say it "scoops" up the ground cleanly. It sort of vibrates
it loose and takes it along for the ride. It looks like someone
raked the ground an inch or so deep with a small hand hoe or
shovel. The negative ergosphere "scoops" up the front and back
areas of the field. The positive ergosphere leaves a longer area
near the center of mass. Its about a cubic foot of dirt spread
out over six square feet or so.
22 November 2000 20:58 (about time travel) 89
Pamela:4.If they put the device in a house and turned it on what
do you think would happen?
Timetravel_0-It might not be as destructive as you think.
Depending on how close any object is to the field, it might not
do any damage at all except for the floor.
22 November 2000 20:58 (about time travel) 90
Pamela:5.what would happen to a bird or small animal that ran
across the field right when it was producing the field to
travel?
Timetravel_0-It would be quickly spread out over the lateral
length of the gravity field. Imagine being squished and
stretched at the same time. I would imagine anything left after
that would be vaporized and generate static electricity.
22 November 2000 20:58 (about time travel) 91
Pamela:6.how hot would you say the temperature gets on the
outside of the car while in operation?
Timetravel_0-Very! hot. Depending on the power setting, 100 to
120 degrees is average.
22 November 2000 20:58 (about time travel) 92
Pamela:7.is the car in drive mode when the device is activated
or is it totally turned off?
Timetravel_0-The car is off and the brake on.
22 November 2000 20:58 (about time travel) 93
Pamela: 8.has the device been tested on ships and airplanes?
Timetravel_0-Not that I'm aware of. Its important that it remain
as still as possible so the gravity sensors can get a good lock.
The divergence confidence would be way off if the vehicle was
moving.
22 November 2000 20:58 (about time travel) 94
Pamela:9.do you wear special uniforms when you time travel? what
do they look like and does your group have a timetravel emblem
or group name?
Timetravel_0-I wear a standard civilian service uniform during
instruction and training. Its sort of a cross between an army
uniform and overalls. We do have a quarter master who
distributes clothing appropriate to where ever we are going.
There is a patch. It is round and has a graphic of a Kerr
singularity (sort of looks like an eye with gravity waves around
it) with two spiral paths running through it's center. One path
represents the "safe" way and the other is the path to God. The
bottom of the patch has my unit number along with "Temporal
Recon" printed on it. However, we remove any identification and
patches before we go anywhere.

Do not eat or use products from any animal that is fed and eats
parts of its own dead.
Do not kiss or have intimate relations with anyone you do not
know.
Learn basic sanitation and water purification.
Be comfortable around firearms. Learn to shoot and clean a gun.
Get a good first aid kit and learn to use it.
Find 5 people within 100 miles that you trust with your life and
stay in contact with them.
Get a copy of the US Constitution and read it.
Eat less.
Get a bicycle and two sets of spare tires. Ride it 10 miles a

(What is the popular music like?)
Most of the same music you enjoy is available on archive.
However the days of mega-stars playing multiple track studio
produced music and lip synching on a huge stage are pretty much
isolated to your time period. Like everything else, music is
much less centralized. The general trend is away from ?computer
generated? music and more toward real people playing real
instruments. Music is much more of a personal experience. More
people know how to read music and play together in small groups.

(Are there any social prejudices)
Yes there are. However, as odd as it may sound, it serves a
useful purpose in my time. First, you must realize that your
experiences with ?prejudice? and mine are different. I would
characterize the intolerance you have here as a result of
ignorance and fear. I have observed that people with unfounded
and irrational fears about their fellow man in this time have
the luxury of not having their beliefs tested.

06 December 2000 21:36 (about the future) 113
(What is the health care system like)
You would probably not like it at all. I would compare it to
what you see in Western movies. We do have hospitals but there
are more family doctors and house calls as compared to what you
are used to. There is no real organized health care. If you get
a serious disease, you die. This however has had a tendency to
strengthen the general genetic pool. Doctors are more concerned
about things like broken legs, snake bites and delivering
healthy babies.
06 December 2000 21:36 (about the future) 114
(What is the entertainment industry like, movies, tv, radio,
internet?)
Again, entertainment is less centralized. There are ?movies? and
?tv? but everything is distributed over the net and more people
produce their own ?shows?.

(How difficult is it for someone to start from nothing and get a
