Man arrested at Large Hadron Collider claims he's from the future

A would-be saboteur arrested today at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland made the bizarre claim that he was from the future. Eloi Cole, a strangely dressed young man, said that he had travelled back in time to prevent the LHC from destroying the world.

The LHC successfully collided particles at record force earlier this week, a milestone Mr Cole was attempting to disrupt by stopping supplies of Mountain Dew to the experiment's vending machines. He also claimed responsibility for the infamous baguette sabotage in November last year.

Mr Cole was seized by Swiss police after CERN security guards spotted him rooting around in bins. He explained that he was looking for fuel for his 'time machine power unit', a device that resembled a kitchen blender.

Police said Mr Cole, who was wearing a bow tie and rather too much tweed for his age, would not reveal his country of origin. "Countries do not exist where I am from. The discovery of the Higgs boson led to limitless power, the elimination of poverty and Kit-Kats for everyone. It is a communist chocolate hellhole and I'm here to stop it ever happening."

This isn't the first time time-travel has been blamed for mishaps at the LHC. Last year, the Japanese physicist Masao Ninomiya and Danish string-theory pioneer Holger Bech Nielsen put forward the hypothesis that the Higgs boson was so "abhorrent" that it somehow caused a ripple in time that prevented its own discovery.

Professor Brian Cox, a CERN physicist and full-time rock'n'roll TV scientist, was sympathetic to Mr Cole. "Bless him, he sounds harmless enough. At least he didn't mention bloody black holes."

Mr Cole was taken to a secure mental health facility in Geneva but later disappeared from his cell. Police are baffled, but not that bothered.

its the doctor, i know it! and i believe that this guy could possibly be telling the truth. Just because we have not discovered how time travel works doesnt mean we need to say that someone is telling lies if they say they are from the future. They might be, depending on their background. We might just have time travel in the future, but i dont think its a good idea to use it.

Isn't anyone curious how he disappeared from his cell? Sometimes I think the people we call crazy and put in mental institutions are really the ones we should be listening to. More so than the ones that are selling us a way of life that coincides with what they want to accomplish. I'd rather be a nut case screaming at the top of my lungs than an obedient modern day, wireless/track-able citizen- isolated and easily controlled.

If time travel was possible in the future, I am sure we would have many people traveling through time that came and visited us as well as the past!

It makes no sense. Time travel will never be, and the biggest proof for that is that there has never come anyone from the future to any time in the present or any past that could prove any of this!

Hillarious though, enjoyed the read

This guy has obviously never heard of the "Grandfather Paradox" which does not allow backwards time travel. If he has come from the future to save the World from LHC that must mean in his "own time" that the Earth has been destroyed, perhaps with him in it... unless he was a space explorer and was not on the surface at the time but he doesn't seem appropriately dressed for that... unless Humans in the future no longer need pressurized suits and Oxygen to survive outside of the Earth's atmosphere!

Well I see many people mocking the principle of time travel , I believe that it's possible , or it will be possible, I regret the fact that I'm doing this comment anonymously because I don't have an account, I would defend this theory with all the pride in it. I believe that there are many crazy people in this world but also IF someone really came to the past "we" the one's that are placed on this , lets call it time line, will not know about it, because when jumping time we also switch time line, its like a parallel world there are lots of them. the changes made here won't be noticed in another time line, the event that happened here had a different outcome in another time line, maybe that "insane time traveller" really did came from the future and already made a change, but we don't know about it! With that change comes a consequence, based on the butterfly effect theory, it's all speculation indeed, well documented. I have to say I believe in science and one thing that science showed us is that once we dreamed about a way to travel through the skies...and space.. Look at us now! The truth is inside of the open minded! Don't ever give in to preconceptions, Because if at some point we say we are gods , we discovered everything , there isn't anything else to discover we will die. Science must never stop. I'm just saying this , in this speculative form, to make all understand that we must not judge and neglect or fear the unknown , we must stay open minded and embrace what is to come! The future. Thanks.

What a fun site... and everyone's fairly civil, thank you very much. Whenever there appears to be excessive controversy that edges into 'ridicule' or 'mockery' I remember Newton's 3rd Law that For every Action there's an Equal and Opposite Reaction... and it gives me perspective. I'm not well-versed or well-read enough about linear reactors, atom smashers, time travel, etc. but, like many differences of opinion/understanding, semantics is usually at the bottom of it. Everyone sees things differently and Thank Goodness - or whatever -ness you believe -. I tend to think anything is possible, for a minute! and then I think it's impossible and my imagination takes hold and I end up giggling, and as Mark Twain observed, Humor is the great Mediator. Maybe Eoli Cole (e.coli?) wants to be spun into oblivion to reverse/accelerate his time travelling experience. Does that mean if he's from the future and returns from whence he came his past is ahead of him? There's an awful lot we haven't gotten our minds around... why just this morning new observations make basic science textbooks obsolete by seeing that air is not the only supplier of nitrogen to plant life. Things growing in Rocks appear to have a higher nitrogen content. And just for fun, in response to the 'anonymous' fellow who signed as 'Thanks' on Aug 30, 2011, suppose I say I am Nina from Alcova, Wyoming but plan to register next week. Does 'Anonymous' on my comment today mean you don't think I know who I am until I register and they give me whatever identity I register with? Or am I allowing us to time travel into next week by believing who I say I am ? If security edits this out then must I, too, believe I am anonymous?:), Thanks could have identified himself within his comment, I believe. Here's to Hadron and its ability to identify a variety of skeptics:)) Nina

Ah foolish people...This is a process. The initial phases are similar to the abc and 123 of the event. LHC has collided particles however they haven't discovered the encapsulations of the effect. When they do finally reach that point and learn how to harness the chain reaction that the ambient energy causes, then things will suddenly become serious. You see, it a small way this can change what you call the structure of energy, this then in turn will put particles in a flux state. Well as any time traveler knows, it is while in this state that an object can "break free" of it place in time and move around. I won't go into further detail since I am not writing to encourage anyone. Keep in mind when we do this our cognitive functions also are changed until our synapses fuse again, I swear I hate that part. I literally turn into a raving lunatic until my brain becomes stable again. Loss of conscious and subconscious barrier if you will, ah well, like I said, it's a work in progress. LHC does figure out some of this however...certain outside influences (sorry can't describe another way) intercede before things go domino effect so to speak.

Well, not sure why I really wrote this...none of you will believe it anyway, hehe.

The grandfather paradox is a theory. Who knows where science may take in years to come, what we may be able to do with it. After all there are wormholes and gaps in space-time, things that do make backwards travel theoretically possible. The thing that baffled me was how he disappeared. I don't think someone who infiltrated a billion dollar scientific facility would be given an opportunity to escape. As for "Destroying the world", he may not literally mean physically blowing up the planet. There could be some kind of malfunction or mishap with the LHC that plunges the earth into a post-apocalyptic state. Of course there are a lot of movies that come into familiarity here, but how can you really identify if someone is really from the future or not? I understand people would want hard evidence, but his goal supposedly was not to prove backwards time travel was possible but was to save the earth from imminent destruction.

In responce to the Mountain Dew not being available in Europe:
'In Switzerland you will find Pepsi Max in all Migros Supermarkets. Migros sells exclusively Pepsi and Coop sells exclusively Coke. Unfortunately it is not planned to launch Mountain Dew in Switzerland again. At the moment you can buy Mountain Dew only in German petrol stations.'
So Switzerland no, but Europe yes. That's why they had it shipped in.

Don't you know anything about human nature? We're addicted to conspiracies. We eat 'em up like crackheads do rocks for brunch. We almost need to believe.

This story happened more than a year ago, and yet there are still comments - one would think there might be some other stories relating to this if it were real, but nothing.. not one.

My first conclusion would be something of a cover up by government agencies, but then surely this article would have been deleted in order to eliminate the evidence.

Then if you think about it, if you caught someone trying to sabotage your equipment, you probably wouldn't believe they were from the future if they told you that - and as for the name, would a time traveller not give a fake name? And I it is likely that the tweed and bowtie were the only clothing he had available that might look similar to clothing we wear nowadays?

Get into a space ship with unlimited fuel and go to the end of the universe. How will you know when you reach the end? You wont, because there is no end. This concept is to large for most common people to grasp. Think about it, get in your space ship with unlimited fuel and just go...you will never reach an end, there is no end...no sign that says...."Stop, this is the end"...So, now knowing that there is no end...do you think that there is a remote chance that there might have been another galaxy out there that evolved with life forms on it, or are we the only ones ...If this guy say's he is from the future then gets locked up, then vanishes, I'm leaning on the chance that maybe he was right and he couldn't stop them, so he travels to another place and time...

Time travel to the past is not possible. Only Time travel into the future is possible it's called "Time Dilation" and is a very real thing but only if you could circle the earth at the speed of light. If you could accomplish this somehow then for every 1 year on board the craft you're traveling on, 223 years would have passed back on earth since you started your journey. Reference Einstein's theory of relativity.

They have already sold 'Idiocracy' in Europe. President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho? They just want more white chocolate in the future, as opposed to black a-holes acting like Cox. Now sit your monkey ass down and believe me when I say that time travel has occurred.

Disappearing from his room might be a KPAX reference. The waves in time preventing him and others from stopping it might be a Terminator reference. The Kit-Kats for everyone might be a Soylent Green reference, the communism in general reference could be any dystopian tale, 1984, Brave New World, if you can find one that involves time travel even better.

Ok I have to respond to this one for sure. Why is it so hard to believe someone who says they are from the future trying to help save the earth? Granted this guy may or may not be on the up and up, but what would it hurt to hear him out and take a little interest in what he has to say, after all he came all this way to help us or so he claims. We do not know enough about how things effect our world it is quite possible this LHC could cause a tare in the time and space fabric and who knows by starting it up it may have. Remember we are the ones who put so much importance on time and how we measure it... Now if this guy is for real I am not kidding when I say this- Get hold of the Zhodanian's and let them know Alpha Omega Seven is dead and Zhodiac Omega Seven is being held here against his will and requests back-up support. Also tell them it is Time for the rising, they will know what it means. Let them know Lilith is on the rise and needs to be squashed. I will get a response in 3 days if you are for real. Set your radio frequency to 30 Giga hertz and Digital Channel 138.003.2... You will not get a video response but you will get one either voice only or text based. Also send this math equation to them- 7+7+7=21/7=3*7=21 to the tenth code Blue. I will rock this world over the next year so be prepared for a response to this message it will take about 20 minutes to get the response as long as you aim the radio dish antenna towards the center star on Orion's belt. Good Luck world I hope you make it through this. You made a mistake locking him up now he is gone and so is your chance to protect yourselves from yourselves....

So "luckily" I won't see the "Imagine there's no borders" John Lennon's type of world.

Ok, I will agree with a lot of the people posting oh here, this does seem very Dr. Who like. But who is to say that it is not. I mean we know that time travel is possible, all though going backwards does seem kind of improbable due to the paradox theory and such, but what if we had solved that in the future. Or at least a way to travel backwards in time. If the world was at the verge of destruction wouldn't it make sense to go back and attempt to save to world from total destruction. Even if it did destroy the world now,wouldn't it be worth the risk. Or maybe I am wrong and he was just a nut. The real and most important questions we should be asking are; how did he get that far into the facility in the first place and how does someone just escape from a secured holding cell in a mental ward. Why did the police not even seem worried about this. It makes you wonder if either he was really a time traveler and succeeded, by doing so nulled his existence causing him to vanish from time or did the government have something more to do with this. That would explain why the police did not seem to be to worried.

All things happen for a reason for it is those that tell lies that people believe and the ones who are telling the truth people think are lying. Time travel is only possible when the technology permits it to be so, for the knowledge of all things shall be revealed at the time it is needed whatever year that may be. 95% of the world believes time travel is not possible, the other 5% are not sure, because the technology and knowledge to understand time travel, is waiting to be discovered in the future. Our technology at present is causing people to believe that it will not ever be possible to travel through time, but there was also a time in the past that people believed that man will not ever go into space or even fly through the sky at all. If you go even further back in time man believed the world was flat, and that the sun orbited around the earth. So you see, all things are to happen at the time things are needed to happen whether there is a belief or not. Time will tell us all what cannot be and that which is fact sometime in the future.

I'm not saying this man IS a time traveller but if they have invented time travel in the future, it wouldn't be used very often to come back to a time when humans were educated and civilized because it could potentially alter the future, their (time traveller) future. So, that's why there wouldn't be a bunch of people coming back from the future. Time travel would most likely be used to travel to pre-historic times, times when humans weren't able to understand what was going on, or the future. I am curious why the 'police are not concerned' that this man disappeared from his cell. WTF? That's impressive. Also this story is from last April fool's..what the hell?

Time travel into the future thanks to Einstein we all can understand, because you do not need to think outside of the single dimension space/time continuum.
Time travel into the past is a whole different concept. As everything the universe is said to be expanding from within and this combined with movement is reponsable for the existence of time,
we do not notice the expandsion because everything expands proportionally at the same rate, but we do notice the movement and their product, time.
Would undergoing a shrinking process whereby the atoms in your body are shrunk by let's say 10 years of universal expansion allow you enter into a previous dimension and hence have travelled 10 years back in time? something to think about ;)

Technically, it's not impossible. But since we don't know the actual event course that led him to come back in time, we assume that the world was destroyed. If he came back in time, then he was always going to come back in time. Therefore, if he's coming back to prevent the destruction of the world, it's because if he doesn't then the world will be destroyed and time will have been disrupted because he couldn't prevent it from happening. Also, another possibility, he's not from our reality and is trying to prevent our destruction since it's the least he could do with his ability and foreknowledge of events that can happen. Both being said, while as unlikely as it is for him to be from the future, it's not impossible.

Time travel is entirely possible, but only traveling to the past. Once your in the past, the technology doesn't exist to send you back. Although it will be possible, it will be illegal, and will only be used to bring sexy back.

anonymous 1 December, 2011 19:16

As people have noted, it's obvious that the story doesn't line up with reality in this universe... however, it's also true that most people who have thought they discovered time travel actually found a way to step between divergent universes... hence the consumption of Mountain Dew in CERN, when it's never before been seen in quantity on that side of the Atlantic (in our universe). The real issue with the LHC isn't black holes, it is universe displacement.

Of course time travel is possible. People do it every day!

Lets say you are on a plane flying from the east coast of the U.S. to the west coast. While flying you are traveling along the same direction with the sun. When you get on the plane it may be say, 12:00 PM, and lets say when you get off the plane it's only 3:00 PM, BUT you were on the plane for 6 hours. What happened to the other 3 hours? Guess what?- you just traveled back in time 3 hours!

Is this story a hoax?- yeah, but that doesn't mean every idea or concept contained in the story is false. It only demonstrates the human desire to categorize everything into neat little packages of absolute opposites. We exist entirely in shades of gray, yet try so desperately to see everything as black and white, fact and fiction, possible or not possible. In theory of absolutes it's simple. If a story is made up of of some things we can easily label fiction or not possible, we consider the story as a whole a hoax, and once labeled it can be dismissed with no further thought. Fortunately there are people who see the gray, and question it. Because though the gray can be messy, and confusing, the gray is what the future is made of. In the gray I think that people time travel every day. In the black and white I hear stories like this and think time travel is not possible.

The sad irony is that when we create a view of black and white, we get exactly what we expect. if we say something absolutely does not exist, we are right, and it never will. Only by allowing ourselves to peer through the grey, challenge ourselves to question and think, rather than assume and label, do we find that thing may exist after all. We may not find it exists as we had imagined it to be, but in the gray it becomes possible.

time is a made up thing. all it is is a measurement of one period to another. you cannot go back in time. einstiens theory of relativity had been proven wrong. he states that in order to go back in time you would have to travel faster than the speed of light. which he also said was impossible, because mass would expand infinitely but scientists has discovered particles that do travel faster than light, and they dont expand

anonymous's avatar

anonymous 2 December, 2011 01:49

Well now we know what we're facing when 2012 comes around and obliterates us all...But the idea of time travel creates a problem when traveling to the past, though it might be possible to travel farther into the future with certain means undiscovered, the idea of traveling through the past forces the event of a paradox. From the ideas of stephen hawking, if a person were to travel to the past and kill himself, it would cause the future self to have never existed past that point, had never had the opportunity to go into the past to kill themself, so, they were never shot?? This posed problem of paradox makes time travel to the past impossible.

If he is from the future then that scares me. Not because of what technology will bring, but because he didn't go far enough back in time to stop the development altogether. Which shows that humanity is still full of complete idiots. Idiots with time traveling capabilities. *shudders*

anonymous 2 December, 2011 02:30

The theory of parallel universes contradicts the paradox created if you traveled back in time to kill yourself. Don't as me how.
And he escaped because some fool on duty bought into his nonsense about being from the future and simply let him out. Unless of course they forgot to frisk him for his blender time-machine. If he needed it to get to the past, why didn't he need it to go back to the future?

anonymous 2 December, 2011 08:23

I too think like others in that Time Travel never gets invented EVER. The reason for this is pretty simple if someone in the future invents time travel this 100% means that your future as already been wrote... It will take a little time to wrap your head around it but if someone from the future travels back in time to meet you it means that they have come from your future which means your future already exists (if it didn't they would have nothing to come back from). Further to this if time travel was well used maybe far in the future were everyone owns their own personal time travel device there would have been 1000s if not millions of noted instanced of our past (and present) where people have met with other's that have claimed to have travelled back in time. Again this hasn't happened again suggested we never invent it.

There is one kinda of exclusion though in that we maybe invent time travel but due to actual physics it is very limited maybe you can only go back a year or so or maybe even just and hour if that is the case it could still be invented.

The reason time travel will not be invented, even if it was possible, is that it would be useless; either the Novikov hypothesis is valid, and you can alter your present by changing the past, either the universe is a multiverse foam and going to past to change your present is just wishful thinking, as at best you create an alternate timeline or an alternate past.

The only use would be for historical observations, provided you perturb the observed world the less... now, the good thing of history is that it has time to filter the information noise we are clouded in.

So, even if it was possible, who would put the money to make it?

20 months after posting, most comments reflect that people speak before reading (or thinking). The comments mostly seem to reflect people voting on their favorite aspect of the story - you got out of it whatever you put into it.

So here's the really interesting bit - The manner in which people read this article is typical for they read every article. And humanity's gut responses (if they are the type to speak out) ignore any part of the article with which the speaker doesn't personally identify. Newspapers, magazines, and television news channels understand this process - and that's why there is only propaganda available in commercial media.

While there is no need to say this is a bit of April 2010 humor gone rabid, it might be worthwhile to point out that whomever actually penned this article did so with a lot of thought and careful construction. Many sources were tapped to create the story and the central figure is a blend of several iconic SF/Fantasy elements. But you knew that, and so did the people who posted without reading the comments. They just ignored it.

The wise reader is going to take something away from this. Perhaps a different perspective on mass media. Perhaps a deeper insight into the people around them. Perhaps a deeper sense of respect for the author - what a great piece of creative writing.

And maybe, just maybe some of the readers with click some links and develop an interest in what is happening at that particle collider -- for real. Because if they didn't need all those safety steps it wouldn't be dangerous. And if there weren't physicist who are genuinely and profoundly afraid of the damn thing, then we should all remain blissfully ignorant of what possibilities are likely to develop into outcomes.

No worries - you trust complete strangers right? Really, no sense worrying about outcomes - you can't do anything about it anyway. Probably better to have a Mountain Dew and munch a Kit Kat and go on... u kan has cheezburger nou.

ON FREAKING APRIL'S FOOL.....

People, you need to think outside the box. Imagine if you will, going back in time to meet your grandfather when he was still a young lad. Lets say on your way to his house you accidently ran him down, instantly killing him before he ever even had a chance to meet your grandmother, therefore never giving birth to your parents and as a chain reaction your parents obviously would then never have given birth to you. So how could you have then even be? Who, then, killed your grandfather? This opens the way to parallel universes for which quantom physicists are finding to be very much possible! Inconceivable but there you are. Traveling to the past will result in you traveling to different (parallel) dimention

What makes you think there hasnt been people from other dimensions here before?
Time travel is definitely possible outside of 3rd dimension. Anyone that believe it isnt possible is kididng themselves and should continue living their life in complete solitude and bad habit. This is the new world folks.

I was in the future and it's all geometry. Tx1 Tx2 Tx3 on Space body A. If space body A was related to itself but could translate into Ax1 Bx1 Cx1 then space body T would be multidimensional on space body A. The translations of quantum gates would exist on both ends through three dimensions only between two dimensions. The Dimension lets say D would have the trifecta that would have material "particle" loss between the dimensions, x1 x2 x3 therefore the points should antiloop. If this person were lost in time the antiloop would be a colider.

We need proof that he is not from the future... what has happened to this world, we don't believe in time travel, we don't trust strangers, we don't agree with crazy people, we lock people up for messing with a lil too much heroine, we discredit scientists and all their hard work! when the end of the world does get here, I will be greeting it, just to get away from this (might as well be) lifeless planet and the conformity and inequality that inhabits it.... what a waste of an intelligent species....

Nice April's fool day joke. Although nonetheless it provokes some tought. If something like tihis would really happen, what would be everyone's reaction? When governments and respected scientist get together to seriously iinvest on and investigate the mysteries of the universe, like the theoretical possibility of time travelling, then we accept it somehow, or ate least we don't question it that much.

But to really grasp the idea of an actual time travel occurring here and now, in our present reality...this just brings on the jokes of those who decided to stop searching for the unknown.

Any conclusions we throw today about anythihg, are unavoidably conditioned by our present limitatons (intellectual, technological, emotional, etc.). Let us believe, it is much more fun and close to a full life :)

Einstein's Theory of Relativity. PROVES that Future time travel is possible.
But not into the past. LOOT IT UP^^^. The scientist's later proved the part of the theory,
with three atomic clocks. one in florida, one in cali, and one in a jet airplane. All three were
Set exactly the same, down to mili seconds. The jet left florida, and arrived in Cali with like a 15 min difference between the two. NASA wants to send some people to Mars. Although it will seem to take years on Earth. The Men and women in the Shuttle would only age a few months. And when they return to Earth. Their Grandchildren may be as old as their parents are/were.

Science can never explain why. It can never explain one. as in ONE. one is the real quantum state that we experience. science is based upon two. as in TWO...zero and one or dark and light, or other forms of contrast and division. Science likes too feel important, but it never solves anything, or improves it. Only changes it. Change is the constant anyway, so it is possible to say that science does not even occur. Only our perception. Now I am off to eat KIt Kats........

Did anyone notice it was published on Aprils fool day (1 April 2010)? All you idiots that said that this is real should be a little more skeptical. With the sentence "[He] was wearing a bow tie and rather too much tweed for his age"? That is what The Doctor (you know, that one guy with the the teleporting time-traveling police booth from the British Television show Doctor Who) wears. [He] was taken to a secure mental health facility in Geneva but later disappeared from his cell. You believed that? And for all you people hat said it was real, 1) "The LHC successfully collided particles at record force earlier this week, a milestone Mr Cole was attempting to disrupt by stopping supplies of Mountain Dew to the experiment's vending machines." I suppose they were mountain dew particles? 2) " [..] The discovery of the Higgs boson led to limitless power, the elimination of poverty and Kit-Kats for everyone" so I guess Nestle rules the world and the fundamental laws of thermodynamics have been broken? 3) "[..] full-time rock'n'roll TV scientist" 4) " [..] he was looking for fuel for his 'time machine power unit', a device that resembled a kitchen blender." because you are going to find fuel in some "bins" for something that hasn't been invented yet (I have no problem with the fact that it looks like a blender).

Everyone that believed this is probably a moron that needs to be a little more critical, a little less gullible, and probably responds to chain letters.

anonymous's avatar

anonymous 5 December, 2011 05:22

Due to the nature of time itself; if we were capable of traveling back in time; once you did, it would create an entirely new time line. It wouldn't necessarily change the travelers future, those events have already occurred relative to his point of view and are his past. It would create a mirror universe where the outcome could be completely different. There would be one universe that had to exist so that he could travel back and the resulting universe where the changes he made took place. The fact that you even read this article would have changed your future at the quantum level. If I hadn't of read it, I would be in the bed right now; but since I did, I'm posting this comment. As far as the (blender / time machine device); if he is in another time line, he would be gradually moving away from our universe, perhaps his own as well, maybe in a bridge universe that only exists for a small amount of time (time on a higher level that allows for time travel on our level, think multi-dimensional). As the separation grows between the universes, what is perceived as a blender to us, might actually be a time travel device in his universe. As the universes separated more and more, he vanished away from our field of view in time. In his own time line, he could be still in the mental hospital headed towards a completely different future than us, one that may be perceived as a completely failed mission into the past.

to the person that posted the bellow comment i have to say ... how would you know if there from the future.. future people would know there history and there for could blend in like anyone else.. and obviously they would try not to make themselves known as some believe to do so could change history (if u believe time travel could be possible that is) whether or not he is from this time or not i have no clue.. all i know is it was a bizarre incident and weird that he disappeared... but if you ask me, there are far better ways to stop an experiment then to sabotage a soda machine..lol

"If time travel was possible in the future, I am sure we would have many people traveling through time that came and visited us as well as the past!

It makes no sense. Time travel will never be, and the biggest proof for that is that there has never come anyone from the future to any time in the present or any past that could prove any of this!

Hillarious though, enjoyed the read"

A man shows up inside a building claiming to be from the future, we call him crazy, lock him up in a mental ward & then later he disappears from a secure cell!!!

maybe time travel DOES exist and it might (most likely) takes up an unreasonable amount of energy.... and thus they can only send people backards so many years untill. maybe the amount of years you want to move back will require more and more energy.... the poor man was most likey shot into the sun to prevent this timeline.... and the hypothesis of being able to change the past is a lie, as at the moment something is changed the need to have it changed will disapear and you will end up mearly spliting this universe into a seperate universe, returning to the very same future/present you left behind....

Theres a lot more info that could have been asked to see if this person is a nut or has some info that is relevant to current understandings, and things that could be proven. There would be many info that this person would have, you wouldn't expect civilizations from the future to send someone that couldn't bring some new knowledge to prove even one thing, either this is a joke, or this guy was taken into custody, where hes being researched to benefit the few, like how everything else is.

When someone says "the future" one has to take into consideration that this supposed "future" could be the next minute or a thousand years, or more, into it... One must also take into consideration that the very mention of coming from the future and divulging whatever we may consider to be "nonsense" changes the future itself. Could we play on the thought that he may have changed the future with what he did, though insignificant as it may sound? There are so many variables when it comes to time and time travel. Just because you can't fit it in your head, or our current scientists can't explain it doesn't mean it isn't possible... Relativity, people! Our coment here could change the future, what are you doing with yours?

There's some pretty intelligent comments here, unfortunately, there are also some NOT SO! The funny ones are heck fun to read, but really... what water are some of u drinking? Aren't u people aware that there are people in our time living in FULLY self-sustainable housings with magnetic power supplies and hunted for their lives because of what they know... as just one of the many examples of why someone would keep their 'time machine' a secret?! We claim we're open about religion, that in this day and age we are indiscriminate... are we? Or are we simply succumbing to the way we're being 'taught'? Who's the crazy ones here?

Ummm...
You guys do know that Pretend To Be A Time Traveler Day is December 8th, right? (So he's actually a day early I think.)
It was probably a very elaborate prank, but I guess he didn't expect to be arrested.
(Or maybe he sorted something out with the cops beforehand. I would do that.)

Given that in quantum physics it is claimed that the mere act of observing an event can change its outcome, it is entirely possible that by attempting to observe the Higgs Boson we are preventing ourselves from doing so. So maybe we will never find it because we are trying to find it.
It'll probably be discovered by some physics students in a few hundred years, and then we'll all feel stupid for not finding it sooner.

The only reason that people believe time travel is not real is because their great great great grandchild hasn't popped in for a visit.
Did these people ever think that someone in the future decided that it was best not to announce themselves when they show up?
With guidelines like that in place, we'll have to discover time travel all by ourselves.

when he back in time, a new-timeline was created from him, that is, and this solve any kind of paradox, because that person it is another version of the future, one from bilions of bilions of posibilitis. So, the travel in time is posible, but cameback to that future is imposible, so, its one way tiket to the past (from his point of view)
and, from our point, he is from a posible future for us. hope i solved :P

I found some similarities to the movie Twelve Monkeys. Bruce Willis was playing the role of a man from the future, who also disappeared from his cell in the mental hospital couple of times. And the name of the guy was James Cole. COLE! :D Strangely funny.

And also to add to my last comment about Twelve MOnkey. Eloi Cole. Eloi is familiar from the movie "Time machine". People from the future were called Elois. :D

This guy is a joke with a great imagination. But this doesnt explain how he disappeared.

And if it were true, would anyone believe him? If a bearded guy came up to you and told you he was Jesus, would you believe him? If I came back from the future, I would know not to tell a soul in the world, in their current states of minds. If it were true, the truth would bet them locked up. This has always been the catch 22 in this possibility. How would they prove it ? Maybe they can't. Then what? Lock them up? It's a tough call, right?

If time travel will exist it will / would only be to travel into the Future and back to a measured presence. If going back in time were to be a real possibility then we would not have had the Twin Towers would be standing, Hitler would not have risen to power, JFK may have avoided assassination and we wouldn't celebrate Easter because Jesus would have been spared from the cross...

Also okay let's entertain time travel (going back in time) you wouldn't be able to change events anyway because doing so would mean events leading to YOU - the time traveller - not being born & therefore not existing in a future where you would then be able to travel back in time.
You will only ever be a mere observer of the past and to be fair inventions to allow this observational based 'time travel' already exists - it's DVD and DVD player or MP4 file and computer (to name a few).

2 points to think on?

1. the future does not exist. we live in the here and now, the future has not happened yet!, therefore it would be impossible to travel to it???

2. travelling to the past, i presume that you would only be able to go back to the moment you were born, the reason being is; you never existed before that moment in time.

the guy further up 03 dec, lsd does not cause time travel. you and i are in a room, you take lsd and i dont. if you did time travel, your body must dissapear so to speak. but i would be able to verify that your body went nowhere all the time you think you were time traveling. would i be correct in assuming that. i think i am??? you are just tripping mate, be sensible.

The big question is: Why didnt he just go back to another moment and made a more permanent stop to the hadron-thing. Well, make it a mindexperiment to try to stop any big event in history. Who would ever know when to stop anything from happening? Even if you stopped it a new individual would come forth with the same idea eventually. Imagine how many people follows an idea, what great movement an idea creates. When would you ever know when to come in to the right moment and stop it? Even if you knew every bit of information about the past, you would have to send and army to stop it.
And, who would even survive a travel back in time? Its more dence than the future.

dude people come down i know why he dissapeard becuase when he came hear there was a limit time when the time was about to stop only him becuase he was from the future and he cant reveal himself to much something might cause the future and some tells me i have something to do with this to becuase when i had this dream it came out of no where i was asleep verylong. this is how it goes. when i woke up this dark place i saw a light it was the future flying cars birds trees people with new clothes also i saw there was two plants moon and some other one i dont know and this i asked this guy what future am i this is 2024 and noticed me becuase i was young still he said i was king or persented of my country and so i meet myself i was older in this future so i noticed that i was the vctim to make a time machine to prevent my family died thats what he told me and so he told go back in time and tell the people stop invinting lhc and **** i woke up.<br />

It came to me that what they're looking for should not be a particle; but one thing that is omnipresent and in everything created - simultaneosly. That one thing would have 'knowledge' of everything - that holds it all together. I think it makes more sense to look for evidence of one thing not a particle.

The time traveler understands the power of mountain dew to suppress the fertility of poor Appalachians and Black people (common knowledge among the enlightened) as well as to fuel the research that will lead to the end of the world.
