This Mysterious Computer Could Prove Time Travel Exists | Nostalgia Nerd 

Is there a limit how far you can travel forward?

Also what makes going backwards more challenging?

I was able to travel backwards in time once, but only ever so briefly, and I would also not recommend doing that many drugs at once

@@heromarks8142 , yes, time travel is currently limited to a forward speed of one second per second.

Same here! I'm now at the end of 2021 and just about a year ago I only at the end of 2020...

heard about a movie with similar idea but I forgot the name of it

@@mikeyle119 , Somewhere in Time is kind of like that, except that it does not have letters, and that it also involves romance. I think that Kate and Leopold is also something similar to that as well.

@@markswang8987 The Ghost and Mrs Muir? Of course, he was a little more substantial.

Truthfully, early IT professionals made hoaxes like this all the time. When I worked at IBM, I would sometimes put some sort of cryptic message in a new computer I just built, to show up at a certain time. I would then seal the computer in a new box, and send it on its way. Building computers, troubleshooting them, repairing them, is boring, slow, and monotonous. A little gag sent out, along the way, was a welcome change form the boredom. There is likely an IBM Pentium, somewhere, that still knows my birthday.

@@indridcold8433 Yep I'm blown away by the gullibility of people. It's really bad today but back then it would appear as well. A little common sense explains this one away pretty readily.

@@indridcold8433 that's horrible. Wish I was your boss during that time. I'd fire you then kick your ass in the parking lot

@@anontwentytwo1380 Who do you think started the gags? The boss started it because we were rather bored and he wanted to have some fun with us. It caused no harm and he knew we had a little fun doing it. Just deleting a line would get rid of the gag. He did not allow for vulgar gags, nor violent gags. If we were busy, nobody was allowed to play. It was a good time. Back then, it paid really good as well. It was the time when IT work paid better than what a fast food assistant manager makes.

The fact that the entire story is objectively a science fiction tale should be a clue to the fact that it is clearly a science fiction tale.

@Zligor St ???? This was the deepest talk ever and you write 😃😃😃

😂 such a nerdy programmer joke that I laughed 😎👉👉

Mine once said "I want to see bobs and vagene" 🤔

😀😀 I miss randomly smiling at cool nerd humor with wit and pretty good writing (for a comment on a video) - thanks 🙏🏻

Brilliant 😂😂😂

Yes but your post kind of implies a vague reference to time flying during s*x, and that you have not done that in ages, well sorry to hear it lol

Wow, I thought it was like 20mins. That is some serious... time travel.

Yeah, I didn't notice the time passing either. Seemed more like 20 minutes to me as well.

I watched this video tomorrow already 🤔

Took bloody ages for me, I was waiting for someting not obviously bullshit to happen. I remain disappointed.

Yes, great idea! Here's another one, just not pay any attention to this silly story.

But things in our time cannot simply appear out of nowhere or in any way be retroactively influenced by a past that has already passed. Tomas would have had to leave whatever the thing was to be before a message asking him to do so existed, as the past is unchangeable and the present being a result of that.

@@Bobba_raekus Oh, well...

@@Bobba_raekus I think it is more like Schrodinger's cat. Until you look, the cat is both alive and dead in a sense. As long as the brick was never tampered with prior to the 'checking it', that thing was both there and not there-only revealed when checked. Basically, it is indeed a change to the timeline. There are also infinite possible paradox's dealing w/ time in this way. What would be far more questionable is not finding something from the past hidden somewhere, but to have some piece of advanced tech (the voice compatible computer that supposedly connected with the bbc computer) found from an intact secure place untouched since the 15th (or whatever) century Hardens century came from. Had such a device existed in Harden's time, he could have hidden that device somewhere to be found in our present. That, or the book (depending on what is in it), would be real evidence of time travel. I guess we want to find Hardens book that the future claims was written-lol. Just need to work out General Relativity and Quantum Mechanic issues. Simple (the last word is a joke).

@@Bobba_raekus I think it depends on whether you believe time is only linear in one direction. If you believe in interdimensional travel, each event altered in the past would bring the dimension of the future farther from the timeline the traveler came from. Both timelines could still exist simultaneously, but any timeline entered by the traveler would exist separate from the original timeline the traveler left. The traveler's timeline is linear in that sense, but the timelines of the dimensions are not necessarily linear to him.

Thousands of ghosts have been trying to communicate through Spectrums, but failed.

ZX80 could've caused poltergeist activity.

A wizard is never late. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.

Bang on, most certainly the tale developed

Tom Jones fan.

It was 2109 & alexa but she identifies as a bloke from hundreds of years ago kinda ironic that we talk to computers now in 2024

Okay guy sure

The time you give to try and believe the bullshit you just wrote is the only outstanding thing in this comment section

@@idekav. the time you just put in to write the crap you just wrote just goes to show. Weak minded and weak willed people will believe anything.

You're no doubt a liberal sheep. Liberals are such morons.

It is not a hoax. It is a book called the vertical plane and the writer made very clear it was fiction.

You weren't trained in ibm ghost connections? smh next you're gonna tell me you couldn't even send messages back in time

What kind of retard was your manager? Was he stupid or just incompetent? If a procedure creates this kind of nonsense you change the procedure or you make exceptions based on common sense. It's not like you need an OK from HR for this shite (it is not an elaborate freaking workflow). Besides the fact that your manager should take the blame for not training you in tracking ghosts. Prick.

@@eval_is_evil he was just a corporate shill. He sent one of my coworkers out to the house who apparently 'fixed' the issue, but that guy wasn't the most ethical tech so who knows what he ultimately did to came the customer down.

@@RisingRevengeance I only really knew anything about the computer because my dad had one when I was a kid, and I remember playing some all dogs go to heaven painting game on it.

I feel like IBM would be the kind of company that still repairs XTs that are in use for vital operations. Their afterlife division was always lacking tho

Exactly. Why not ask the simple questions like how the machine was powered. Also ask the person from the "future" simple fact questions like a list of USA presidents or smth like that.

To be fair, it's from 2109. It's probably got a nuclear power source (or something even better, it is 2109 after all) in it or something.

Yea. Like a huge ass solar panel....

@@sw0mpy also ask them to describe it, their description would be totally different from the average person.

The battery was supplied by Stewie Griffin. Brian wrote the text. One part of the message tells people to buy a copy of "Faster than the Speed of Love".

I was around back then. I can tell you people believed anything back then. There were the Dogon alien stories we all believed because there was no way to check the actual facts. People just believed stuff.

Headquarters BBS, the one with DOS Doors, games and FidoNet for messaging would update to hubs. Did that on a TRS-80 model 100!

I thought the exact same. :)

Well , in fairness , he didn’t ask if horses were still around , just if they had one . Not everyone was rich enough to afford their own back in his time . Like asking someone today if they have a car . I’m always surprised at the number of people who don’t drive or own a vehicle . But according to the story , the mysterious “future” entities diddled with his messages to “ make them easier to understand “ so none of his wording can be trusted anyway .

Then there is the 3rd party from the future of this storyline that may have hinted at horses not being the mainstay of transportation.

It sounds to me like a cheap-ass anachronism based upon "Where's the beef?!"...

yeah he might wonder if horses were still in use but it's likely not the first question he would ask

Very interesting to read your experience. I have no suggestions or questions for you, just figured since I took the time to read you story then it would be polite to address you.

Fake

@@villedocvalle it's not fake I could tell you exactly where this happened and any other information you want besides the name of my friend unless he doesn't care and what would I have to gain from this. I don't care about attention or you as a matter of fact. It's just something that happened that I could never figure out and shit like that bothers me.

Explanation. You are living in a simulation that can respond to your needs as they arise, and reform as needed as well. have you ever seen flocks of birds at sunset? where do they go at night? Trees? Look for them at night.

The menu appears to have poor instructions and no highlighting of the first letter, which means people would be expecting to type CREATE rather than just press C. It's an easy mistake to make especially in those days and shows why good UI/UX is so important.

I totally agree and and your reply has solved this mystery for me. If lukas' method of creating the messages was speech based then it proves to me that the messages were typed by a hoaxer with access to the house and the computer but was unfamiliar (at that point) of operating the software.

@@marcg1314 My thing is if we were to communicate with someone from the future and not have used I yet having them say it would then in turn cause you to. Hell youd probably sit there and jump around saying I all day. Me is I! if you will. I dont believe it but i do believe it. When they eliminate her and the husband it still communicates. Whats to say they figured out step by step how and what to say to get to wording it the way they do. Then the guy who gets the messages handed to him in an envelope dissapears? Would there have not been a way to go back and see what was printed like some cache of sorts? Theres too much that cant be debunked for it to be thrown out. If they didnt want anything leaking but had an objective theyd of kept at it til they got "the one" way thats right. If time is a flow then wed never be the wiser. Confusion is, to me, the best probable way to prevent changing events. If youre confused you usually ignore it and move on or dismiss it.

There was this crazy story about bots left on in a permanent game of quake, and they supposedly learned not to attack each other.

@@JavierChiappa I remember that, the guy left a server running for years with the bots fighting each other. He joined it again and they weren't doing anything, as soon as he fired a gun they all killed him, then went back to doing nothing. Also each one had an AI file of 2gb (in a game from an era where a 10gb hard drive was "mammoth"). Provably made up, mind you.

I remember playing Super Mario 64 and I left the game idling for several minutes. Me and my sister remember Mario snoring and talking about Lasagna(in his sleep). I haven't Googled this yet but I wonder if that actually happened.

The X Files had a couple of computer / AI / VR episodes and they were all absolutely awful! :)

@@M7WRC yeah, can't say you're wrong.

Or Doctor Who (back when it was good....)

There is an Twilight Zone Episode which reminds me of this.

Absolutely! I can hear Mulder muttering to Scully, as they separate, "I *want* to believe!"

Suspiciously the RL stuff only happened to Debbie. And messages mostly only appeared when she was alone at the computer and nothing happened when people where looking at it. So she either has MP or craves for attention. We only get people defending Ken´s character, nothing about her.

@@Aix_Plainer She could also just be really funny.

Definately, go to the source and set up a BBC Micro or similar era computer AND a modern laptop. You could also set up a camera to see if anyone is slipping up to the computer(s) while you are out. A followup at Oxford seems interesting, although one would think 16th century bokes aren't availible for perusal by the general public...

Yes I think that would be very interesting, just the feel of the place--you could visit the places they did, etc....why not?

Yeah but how awkward would it be if you went there and the new owners ( I'm assuming there are new owners) gave you permission and you plugged a BBC computer in and you both just sat there making small talk for hours with nothing happening

There is a movie, and by the that exact name, look it up written by william davies

There is an anime

@@dakidblack Seriously? I had no idea. Gonna have to check it out now.

@@lavona8204 Does the anime have the same title as the book?

@@marcoslaureano5562 no, the anime one I think people are gesturing to, is " Ghost in the shell" about a sentient lifeform that is born on the Internet and named project 2701. The movie is of the cyberpunk genre and sprouted an interesting story ark in the stand alone complex, that is loosely based on J D Salingers works. Worth a watch but probably took me 10 views to get my head around every tiny finesse of detail and reference.

Agreed, it obviously began as a ghost prank, and evolved from there.

Human souls dont wander the earth, they are either in heaven or hell. These entities are demons/fallen angels (old gods/aliens).

@@Brojack69 we never figured out how it happened. He just needed to turn his computer off during a Skype call and we suddenly heard him hysterically laughing because he still heard us but his PC was off.

@@MikeCrainmaybe the screen turned off but the computer lagged behind? Very interesting story I’ve had similar happen

​@@MikeCrain not really similar but my headphones actually connect before it appears to be on and disconnects to my laptop after I've already turned it off. I suspect it's a similair case in your situation. The computer says it's off or appears to be off, but in reality is still processing information. Makes it appear to the viewer that it's actually turning off quicker than it really is.

@@treinenliefde that might be the case. Hell, if I unplug my computer the motherboard LED stays on for a little while after as the residual power drains I guess.

I mean, if I were a time message sender and knew I'd become a ghost, I would obviously prove both by sending a message about the ghost doing something, then do it as ghost, and vice versa.

There are actually cases in England about poltergeists doing such things like movings furnitures, stacking up things and so on. This phenomena does really exist. Why is it happening or what or who is upto one believes in ghost proofs. Now can such phenomena type on computer? Surely can. Can it type meaningful words? Sometimes it seems it's intelligent. Can it write letters? Who knows, maybe, maybe not. To me it seems the story is partially believable at least as it was based on true events in some form and somewhat historical facts.

Yeah, that's where it all started falling apart for me. If it had *just* been the ghost messages on the computer it would have been more believable.

I've got to side with the linguistic expert. That probably flew over most people's heads, but they were looking at basic forms of conjugation that don't even require the average person to think about. Things like I am, she was, he is, they are, etc. We modern English speakers think we can just throw in a "thou hast" and you have Middle English, but it doesn't work that way. When people make basic conjugation errors, it stands out like a sore thumb.

@@keiiko We had "moving furniture" ghost activity in the U.S. as well in the 70s and 80s (Amityville NY house that inspired the "Amityville Horror" movies being the most famous). All shown to be frauds years later. Sorry but the phenomena really does NOT exist.

@BB Sky I had an Eprom programmer in 1980 and was burning them and had an UV eraser. You put the Eproms in the Ultraviolet light eraser for about an hour. I still have all this stuff. So it would be easy to modify the Eprom. I imagine they opened up the computer to look inside to see if there was a massive add on sitting there? Do you remember the crop circles. Scientists said it would be impossible for people to make them. It had to be aliens. That went on for 20 years until a group of them confessed. They used simple methods to make big giant designs at night in the dark. Another thing they could have done is clean the keyboard and put some invisible powder on the keyboard that was like visible in black light. That would show when they left the house that someone was typing. Probably other methods , I can think of other ways you would know. Also put some black ink on the keyboard, like the dye they use in bags of money at the bank and then check the fingers of everyone after a message to see if they have dye on the fingers. Clean the keyboard and then after a message appears , check the keyboard for fingerprints. That is what they should have done , instead of deleting the question , when these investigators were alone in the room. Ink the keyboard with unremovable dye. place the keyboard near the edge of the table and take a picture of it . Most people will move the keyboard a little for more comfortable typing. So just put it in an awkward position and see if it gets moved.

It's the age-old prophecy method: be as vague as possible so the listener can apply just about any meaning to the message. It's how mediums and prophets and psychics and astrologers throughout history have always operated. If the prophecy doesn't happen like you expected it just means you didn't interpret it correctly!

My tipping point was when laye lines were mentioned. Back in the 80's anything paranormal or other worldy involved laye lines. Including crop circles.

For me it was grade D BS from the jump unfortunately. But it was interesting seeing how an English professor somehow trolled his friend for literal years and tormented him into writing a book and then going into hiding. Someone is a monster in this scenario... a living person in 1985 was a sociopath with a twisted sense of humour.

Or it just was the other bloke they were sharing the house with.

@@777anarchist We only have their word that this even happened at all.

@@halfbakedproductions7887 Yes. I'm pretty sure they made it up because that would explain everything at once.

You could maybe have snuck in some two-way radio setup. Maybe running with thin wires to the micro itself. Radios were bulky back then, and a transmitter would have interfered with the operation of the computer. Error-correction and the like, it's all asking quite a bit. "Down the Earth cable" is a non-starter. Wires though, would snap if they tried move the machine. Onboard radio, no, not practical. That and it just seems simplest and most reliable, to have an accomplice sneaking about doing the few bits that had witnesses waiting downstairs, the rest just being lies. Like a magic trick, you never actually see it happen, it's always behind a curtain. You see before, and after, but never during. Still, interesting old Econet, I can see why they went with IPv4 instead for the Internet. If we *had* gone with Econet, by now a bug might well have mutated up into sentience.

This is only a few years earlier than I got into computers, but from PC knowledge, I know a file could be deleted, then undeleted and read again. If this computer did auto save as was said earlier, could this have happened?

Great short story by SK! One of my favorites.

Would be hard to track down as most people read Playboy for the articles....😏

They made it into a short film. I remember watching it years ago.

This story was in the Book of short stories called Skeleton Crew. Recognizable by the toy cymbal banging monkey on the cover. I loved the premise of a word processor that makes anything you type come to fruition. But it was way too short and not fleshed out well enough for all the potential it had. It was only 4 or 5 pages long. He basically has a bit of fun with the word processor a little, then kills his wife and the story's done. You kind of get the feeling King was sitting at his desk, staring at his word processor trying to think of what to write about when he made this. "what to write about... a magic word processor!" Heh. It's worth the read, though. Out of Skeleton Crew, I also recommend reading Jaunt and The Mist. All 3 can be read in less than 2 hours.

​@@jerseyjoyride1316😂

Good point Mr Logic 👍

Yeah, and when things started getting extra suss they would not respond for large swaths of time. I dunno, kinda like a human being would do to avoid getting caught.

What a blatant crock of shit

Lol yup

I can't believe (halfway through the video, I just stopped watching. What a load of garbage. This story could be debunked in 5 minutes by a 5 year old) that the presenter made the comment "And to this day, no one has been able to satisfactorily explain what happened". Really? How is that even possible??

Dismissing all the fantastical elements, as a work of installation art it is quite excellent. The research, narrative and guile with which it was executed makes it a shame that the artist will never get the credit. Whoever she may be.

@jason jaks Should be easy enough to point out where it's nonsense instead of just asserting it. Maybe you should try again. Here I'll throw one out there - Did she really have access to the 10 questions? I thought none of them did.

I disagree

@Ishan Pant it's a reasonable question to ask

Strip away all the emotion and that is exactly what we are left with.

The whole diy vibe of making your own computer with Radioshack components in the late 70's/early 80's was a real trip. It took a lot of time, ability to understand electrical components and soldering.

I agree but.. but.. you can get close with MAKE culture and building neat things with microcontrollers and other low cost SOCs.

There was no internet in the 80s... only for higher ups like the Government though. The 90s was when it came to the public and everyone was learning it. You must be thinking about the 90s.

@@tumbleweed_wagon2113 I guess your young lol. We were using the internet daily in the early 80’s my man. Do a little more research. I assume your talking about Web 1.0 ? That’s not when the internet started. The internet started when we got modems and ISP’s and started talking , playing games , bulletin board systems , you name it. This was way before windows or web sites.

We were playing text based mmorpgs (MUDS) in 1984. Dial up internet has been around since around 1982 depending on where you lived.

Then we would all still say its a hoax and Ken just scratched that into the floor boards himself lol. I've experienced supernatural things in person, so I totally believe in this stuff, but there are for sure a lot of plot holes in this story as shown at the end of this video.

@@PlatinumTales Easy, tell him to bury some animal bones in a particular place. You'll be able to tell recent bones from 500 year old ones.

Like LtCdr Data’s severed head.

There's the possibility that even if real the item could found and moved in the few hundreds years since it was buried, so its not really a solution.

wait, is there any actual information that the 2109 people actually used a BBC Micro?

@pnorbert2222 John Titor was from 2036.

If I was around in 2109, the BBC MIcro is exactly what I would pick to do a communications experiment because if I chose the late 1990's and later people wouldn't even notice.

@@ahmetrefikeryilmaz4432 The ones in the 1980s used it, but the ones in 2109 picked who to contact and when. Someone in 2109 would know how much technology evolved from 1980s to 1990s or 2000s, and yet they chose to contact someone who was using a BBC Micro...

You wouldn't use a smart phone as you could back track and find the source the BBC micro seems perfect

To be fair, any small detail could have changed the future heavily. Imagine if gorbachev was killed on August 19 1991, or that the russian SFSR comtinued to sign the treaty keeping the USSR alive, It would have completely changed the fall of the soviet union

@@kagenlim5271 True, but easy enough to prove they're are real without giving details. A war will start a plan crashes and an empire falls, no where near enough to know what to change, but enough that when those 3 things happen you know they were legit. Because without some way to verify that, its fake.

@@sparkplug1018 Predicting future events so vaguely wouldn't be impressive, since there's so much room for interpretation. Rather than historical facts, I think more convincing evidence would be yet-unknown scientific knowledge that could be tested to be true. Making a legitimate world changing scientific discovery in pursuit of a prank would be pretty impressive. Especially if that knowledge was, for example, the mechanisms by which time travel can be done.

you mean besides the whole ordeal being stupid bullshit starting with the premise?

I agree with your reasoning.

I've watched enough sci-fi to know that everything can be solved by conveniently devised technology limitations or other plot devises. Say, for instance, that setting the time of the connection takes a huge amount of energy. It's a one time event, or done only when really needed. But keeping the connection synchronized is, relatively speaking, cheap, so they keep it open and time advances more or less the same for all ends. Even better, once they disconnect and reconnect to other time, they end up connecting to some other random instance of the multiverse. That, sadly, was not in the collective imaginary, otherwise it would have featured into the story no doubt. (It could have also explained the book not being found!) Or how about, they didn't care about making them wait? The future people seemed uninterested in illuminating anyone on what was going on, except for the UFO enthusiast who was lost from narration. If you want to believe, you can, no matter how absurd it is. Conspiracy theories, ghost stories, religions, they all prove it. I think the main point here, is that even if it was sound and solid, it being real would still be the least likely option, but one that attracts the imagination, one that's exciting, so people still want it to be true.

It would be interesting to find out if she ever did any other kinds of hoaxes, ppl like this who go to such lengths rarely only do it the once. She didn’t cash in on it either.

The amount of trash paperbacks and monthly magazines in all kinds of science fiction had been around in the 50s/60s/70s and earlier decades and centuries, the problems occur when its passed off as fact.

So how would you network that exact pc then?

Morse operators in WW2 could identify who was sending by their keystrokes. The human brain can do incredible feats of recognition.

@@mickeythompson9537 right but thats a LOT less advanced than actually being able to figure out what is being typed.

was this written by two people? the first line and the TL;DR seem like a "common tongue" whereas the long description is way more observant; the word choice and structure almost seemed to be chosen and not written.

That's better than what I got. I just kept getting "local singles available in your area."

lol

@@realJimMarshall I keep getting weird ones demanding I require something called "viagra" which apparently is only useful to males who suffer from being useless to women... what is this sorcery? How do all these people from around the world know my name and mail address?.. and knowing all that why do they not know I'm female???

Hahahaha!

yet another TARDIS with the chameleon circuit busted...

And they said imitation Diamond wasn't good enough

Is it bigger on the inside? ;-]

As a family, we’re actually replaying DotT right now! And, Peter, many thanks for this video. Fascinating. In fact, thanks for all your hard work as usual.

Is “ Chron o John “ the correct term for those Pods which appear all over the world in the 28th Century ? Recognisable by their Entry Doors which were all sourced from 1960s Caravans and were actually mistaken to be toilets by those from 2020 ? 👍

??? Computer engineers have a wicked sense of humor. Ours is darker than anyone else’s, usually, but it’s also much deeper & more a part of our daily lives than it is with most normal people. Nerds don’t grow up much. We’re still like children and we’re the ones who run your banking systems, your infrastructure, your corporate IT departments. Never forget that we love trolling people and practical jokes, and wouldn’t think anything about setting up a decades-long practical joke just so we could have a continuing inner laugh every now and then. You really think engineers didn’t have a sense of humor in the 80s???? It was much funner back then _because_ the rest of you never knew a damn thing about what we were up to. Much easier to have fun with people, without their even being aware of it. I’d put my money on Easter eggs - some engineer or group of engineers at acorn playing a practical joke on people. Or, given this unreliable narrator, they could simply be lying about enough of this that it makes no sense to even discuss it, being completely unaware of how it actually played out. For all we know, it was the wife/girlfriend simply typing them up when nobody was looking. But if that couple didn’t do it themselves, I’d look at the acorn engineers first.

@@filminginportland1654 Interesting, I hadn't considered a running practical joke by an IT insider. Personally, my sense of humor tends toward the South Park type. I have a cousin in Portland. I lived there many years ago when it was normal.

@@filminginportland1654 we still don’t understand their workings and need to unplug from it. I offer a persona challenge: For a half hour each day put this thing in the microwave or throw it on the front lawn but spend thirty minutes consciously to not being here. Perhaps do a puzzle, clean the kitchen, walk to the store or walk a pet, go break an old phone and put it back together and fix it. No, tablets and TV are equivalent. just simply be Elsewhere than here but make a bet against yourself (it makes it fun) and go for it. We are half way there, don’t give them the whole enchilada unless you want to of course;)

Surely would have been issued a tablet if from 2109.

@@thrillhausen8858 it’s just recommendation Lots going on outside typing here. We should explore more, I think. Good for the gizzards and brains ;) I have spent less time here and made projects for myself. It’s oddly more satisfying and then I relax and send a note here or there, here.

sounds like a modern take on "Flatland" written in 1884

Personally I'm team "Secret Forgotten Latin Manuscript", but either manner of follow up wil be intriguing.
