Self-professed 'time traveler' offers predictions of the future

A popular social media user has been making various predictions about what will come to pass in the near future.
We've heard from a few self-professed 'time travelers' over the years, a trend which gained prominence in the early 2000s when a man named John Titor started to frequent online message boards claiming to be a soldier from the year 2036 who had gone back in time to warn humanity.

While Titor was later exposed as a hoax, there have been numerous copycats in the years since, usually with the alleged time traveler making similar claims about future calamities.

One of the latest examples is @thetimetraveller2582 - a user on TikTok whose future predictions have seen him rack up over 132,000 followers.

This otherwise anonymous individual maintains that they are from the year 2582.

According to their posts, on September 23rd of this year, a large boat will go missing in the Bermuda Triangle for a period of six months. When it finally re-appears, the people onboard will allegedly report that, for them, only a single day has passed.
Then from December 12th, 2025, pieces of an anti-matter meteorite that falls through the Earth's atmosphere will be sold for the price of $64.5 trillion per gram.

Things will reach a head on January 1st, 2026 when, according to the time traveler's posts, "the great reset happens, making a huge change for humanity."

Perhaps weirdest of all is a prediction for August 27th, 2024 (which is literally tomorrow).

"A mysterious gate is discovered in a cave," the post reads. "It is closed but it will be opened. It will lead into an alternative universe with new form of life discovered, some of it will be brought back to Earth."

Presumably, then, we won't have long to find out whether or not @thetimetraveller2582 is the real deal...

Interestingly that is exactly what john titor had said, that he will never be able to return back to his timeline but am alternate timeline, theory not known at that time.

Oh heck, that "never return back to his timeline" is an OLD meme (the earliest time travel stories that we have published were from the 1730's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_time_travel_works_of_fiction)  The "changed world" was the theme of many of these tales.  Ray Bradbury's 1953 story, "Sound of Thunder" was one of the ones I liked best (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Sound_of_Thunder) Honest...  this was someone LARPing.  They didn't come from the future.  They were just an Internet troll who got people hyped up on a story that was really just Bad Fan Fiction.

It was part of theoretical physics since the 80s.

Disagree on the "bad", would say: made it obvious for the curious onlooker that he is putting together popular themes in a new fun contemporary way... Because honestly I feel like when he posted his time traveller gear he was probably flabbergasted and close to tears "how can they be so stupid and believe this?"... because he wasn't even aware how deeply he touched people, probably because it was again: popular themes in  a contemporary "live event"; it got catchier than anyone could have expected I believe. Which to me just makes it more awesome! lol

Alas, he wasn't flabbergasted... this wasn't just a single post.  He kept coming back and any time someone found a flaw in his reasoning or photos, he would have an "explanation" of why it was different. No, this was a deliberate manipulation (for personal attention - that's my speculation.)

I helped @Kenemet identify the parts of his "time machine" back when "The Crew" decided to check him out. What a pile of junk.

This "popular social media user" just watched a way to much  'Back to the future' movies. I don't believe him. He is not the first, and sure not the last Internet Time Traveler.

Any news from Mr. Time Traveler?

Just putting this out here. Yes there was a lot of hype and misinformation surrounding Y2K. But the reason it didn't cause those catastrophic failures isn't because it was any less of a problem, it was because millions of us analysts and programmers put in untold hours, downed megaliters of coffee, and consumed who knows what other substances while scouring all of that legacy code and fixing it. Newer systems were relatively immune because most had been written with Y2K in mind. OTOH employers (like mine at the time) were running millions of LOC dating back 30, even 40 years. It all had to be ... [More]

Absolutely! And we'd been aware of and working on (at least if you were college trained) the Y2K problem for decades.  I remember hearing about it in COBOL classes in the early 1980's.
