In the early 2000s, a man named John Titor began posting on an internet forum claiming to be a time traveler from the year 2036. Not only did he offer photos and schematics of the time machine he used, he gave numerous predictions about the future – some of which came true, while others didn’t. Which is why today, many are left wondering – was John Titor a masterful hoaxster, or did his journey back in time set us on a different course entirely.
