Time travel is a favorite subject of science fiction writers and a dream come true for fans. However, there are those who assure that they actually came from the future - who are fleeing from the special services, who are trying to warn humanity about the impending disaster.
Soldier from 2036
In 2000, the story of John Titor, who allegedly arrived from 2036, captured the minds of Americans. He registered on one of the resources and talked about his experience, in between times demonstrating his time machine.
Taitor confessed that he is a soldier sent back in time to deliver the IBM 5100 computer to scientists. Future programmers must fix bugs that will cause problems in 2038. However, Taitor decided to temporarily stop in 2000 to chat with his family, collect photographs lost in a future war and prevent an impending catastrophe - World War III.
Titor suggested learning basic weapons skills and keeping everything ready to "leave the house in ten minutes and never go back there." He even assembled a team of volunteers ready to go with him into 2036. “I don't set myself the goal of being believed,” explained Taitor. - Let me tell you a little secret: in the future, no one loves you. We regard you as a generation of lazy, self-centered and outrageously ignorant rams. I think this should worry you more than my persona."
Taitor appointed a global catastrophe for 2015. It was supposed to start with a nuclear strike by Russia on the United States, which had collapsed during the 2005 civil war. The war was caused by the conflict between Arabs and Jews. As a result, practically the whole world would have to lie in ruins: Russia, the European Union and Europe would disappear from the face of the planet, and only a few military bases remained from the United States.
Taitor finally disappeared from the Internet in 2005, when his predictions one after another turned out to be false. In 2008, private detectives established that neither John Titor himself nor his family existed. The only person to confirm Titor's existence was his lawyer, Larry Haber. Some fans still believe in the reality of Taitor, and unfulfilled predictions are explained by a temporary paradox: since he told about them, they never happened. The Habers were simply friends of the guest's family from the future, with whom he stayed - therefore, he went online from their computer.

Nuclear strike on the bitcoin rich
In 2003, the entertainment resource Weekly World News published a story about the arrest of an unusually successful economist. Someone Andrew Carlssin allegedly made $ 350 million in two weeks on risky investments, investing only $ 800. Such an exceptional case could not fail to attract the attention of the police who arrested the newly-minted rich man. During interrogation, he did not reveal the fraudulent schemes, but confessed that he had arrived from 2256. A source in the Securities and Exchange Commission told reporters about this.
During interrogation, Karlsin admitted that he was too carried away: he planned to invest in both successful and unsuccessful business projects, but “it was too difficult to resist the temptation,” so all his 126 investments brought him instant profit. According to journalists, the FBI could not find information about him until December 2002, as if Karlsin did not really exist before.
For his release, he promised the government to tell the whereabouts of bin Laden and to reveal the secret of the cure for AIDS, but flatly refused to admit where the time machine is located and explain its structure, as he was very afraid that the unit would fall "into the wrong hands." They refused to release him from prison until an unknown well-wisher paid a one million dollar bail for him. Karlsin was released, in April 2013 he was supposed to appear before the court, but disappeared on the way to the hearing.
The story was picked up by many world media: publications about Karlsin appeared in The New Yorker, The Guardian, The Scotsman. But most of all, the mysterious story of Andrew Karlsin surprised not newspaper readers, but the FBI and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Journalists literally tortured them with requests for comment about the "time traveler". The refusal of the special services to comment on Karlsin's case only provoked the conspiracy theorists, who are confident that the authorities are simply hiding the truth.
I found my prophet on the entertainment resource Reddit. In August 2013, a user under the nickname Luka_Magnotta wrote an appeal to Americans asking them to abandon Bitcoin. According to him, the use of cryptocurrency could lead to a nuclear war, and he came from 2026 to warn humanity about this and make it stop in time.
Luca said that in his time, the dollars familiar to people have already disappeared. After the cost of bitcoin reached a million dollars, humanity became disillusioned with other currencies and abandoned them: "Now all wealth exists in only two forms: bitcoins and land." The population, he said, suffers from hunger, as all the money is concentrated in the Citadels - fully robotic walled cities where the cryptocurrency rich live. But the availability of money does not guarantee a comfortable life: at least every fourth bitcoin owner is tortured to find out his password.
Politics is also not all right: most governments have been destroyed, as people prefer to hide their income and have stopped paying taxes. Russian hackers stole 60 percent of Africa's wealth in two days, after which a civil war began, which only two of the richest countries could end: Saudi Arabia and North Korea.
Luca claimed he was planning a nuclear apocalypse to end the dominance of the bitcoin rich. With the help of 20 nuclear submarines, he intends to destroy all underwater Internet cables and launch missiles into densely populated areas. He ended his story with a request to strangle bitcoin in the bud, because "he knows how it will all end."
Magnotta's prediction was recalled in November 2017, when bitcoin reached the ten thousand dollar mark, as predicted by the "guest from the future."
The future is hazy
Showcasing photographs from the future is all the rage among self-proclaimed time travelers. Other time guests prefer to do so on ApexTV's YouTube channel for the paranormal. Since the beginning of 2018, three time travelers have already shown their pictures: from 6000, 10000 and 2118. All photographs are similar in one thing: for some reason they do not differ in clarity.
An alien from the year 6000 explains the blurry image by the fact that when traveling in time, they are distorted. He was also lucky that the same did not happen to his insides: according to him, scientists have observed this. He stated that he was born in the 20th century and participated in experiments in the 1990s, when researchers sent several people into the future, at different times. He is forced to hide his name and face and change his voice so that he is not caught by the mysterious "they".
In 40 centuries, he said, everyone will be able to teleport and travel in time. But you shouldn't worry about temporal paradoxes: travelers will be invisible and will not be able to interfere with the course of history (he does not explain how he was able to appear in the video at the same time). The world will be ruled by artificial intelligence devoid of emotions, it will also reduce people in size so that they take up a minimum of space and consume fewer resources.
A man who visited in 10,000 explained the blurriness of the picture "by a change in the electromagnetic properties of the Earth", because of which cameras began to work differently. According to him, while studying in America in 2008, he met a professor who invited him to fly into the future. After hesitating a little, he made up his mind. According to him, in the future, grass grows everywhere, and skyscrapers are so high that their peaks cannot be seen behind the clouds. All cars fly in the sky, and aliens walk on the ground. Humans also learned to fly, and the time traveler suggested that nanotechnology was helping them with this. Soft robots and holograms were everywhere. He really wanted to fly to the future once again, but when he came to the professor the next day, he was not at home, and the time machine disappeared without a trace.
Alexander Smith, who moved from 1981 to 2118, and then to 2018, complained that the government confiscated the original image from the future from him, and he only had a copy of poor quality. According to him, the CIA is looking for him, so he lives in a hiding place and hides his real name. As for the future, the robots told him that "smart aliens will come to Earth in the middle of the 21st century." Smith called global warming the worst danger to humans and asked the residents of 2018 to think about the environment "if only for the sake of their children and grandchildren."
On the same channel, several interviews have already been released with a guest from 2030 under the pseudonym Noah. He was even forced to undergo a lie detector test, and he passed the test with flying colors: when asked directly whether he was a guest from the future, he answered “yes,” and the polygraph showed that it was true.
Noah looks about 20 years old, but assures that he is twice as old and retained the appearance of a young man thanks to the "secret medicine." According to him, scientists have learned to travel in time 15 years ago, but they hide it from the public. And only in 2028 will the government allow anyone to go to the past or the future. Then humanity will go to Mars.
According to him, by 2030, humanity will learn how to treat many forms of cancer, robots will run a household, and almost everyone will have some kind of Google glasses with the same power as today's computers. Bitcoins will finally enter circulation, but traditional money will not disappear either. Due to global warming, the climate in the United States will become hotter and in Europe colder. He also said that US President Donald Trump would be re-elected for a second term, but refused to provide evidence so as "not to cause a temporary paradox."
Despite the lie detector data, not everyone believed Noah. Many doubted that the polygraph was real; some have noticed that if he is really sure that he came from the future, then the device will not show that he is lying. Perhaps this is exactly what happened, because Noah, like other time travelers, is sure that he saw the future, and sincerely wants to share his knowledge with all of humanity.
