Phi for All Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 we really don`t want Anything to do with this sort of thing at all!just ignore it! we are a SCIENCE FORUM! or did we forget that somewhere? Chill, dude. This is an example of wild claims debunked. You don't ignore wild claims, that gives them tacit support. You attack and destroy error. Fully within our purview, imo. Don't forget the thread we had where better than half polled believe time travel is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phi for All Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 he has NO support of mine!I don't know where you're coming from on this one, YT. You sound angry that I brought it up. Of course it was a hoax and of course no one is supporting him. Sorry for bumping the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 How exactly is critiquing the veracity of an account of time travel not in the remit of a science discussion forum? If you don't want to see it, don't look at the thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 and UP this thread goes in the Google ratings AGAIN... mind, at least it`s for a good Debunking this time. still, I can`t help but feel that acknowledging such things is a Bad idea.

Sayonara Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Why not acknowledge it? Firstly, it is one of the most cited instances of this sort of thing on the web, and our mentions of it are hardly going to make any difference. Secondly, we are giving people the opportunity to read or take part in discussions which appraise the claims in a scientific fashion (in the other thread where we discussed Titor, if not this one). Thirdly, starting with a pre-judgement and refusing discussion of a selected topic is hardly a scientific approach. IOW, suspecting a hoax does not mean that we cannot or should not objectively and impartially analyse the evidence. I think it is very clear in this thread, in case you are truly worried, that Titor's claims are not widely supported here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pangloss Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 We should eventually move this into Pseudoscience and Speculations, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombus Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 To be honest I admire the people who make the good hoaxes. It’s kind of funny that people believe him... The picture of the bent laser beam cracks me up. I've seem that. Some people have said that it is optical cable, but it looks to me like a laser lit up by smoke. Optical cables don't light up like that. This, and the photos/design of the time machine are the things that disturb me most. I'd be happy to think it a hoax otherwise, but there is something too utilitarian about the time machine. A good hoax maybe, but there is a tiny crack in my closed mind.
