Touchy touchy John Titor from Florida.

Did I mention I will be in Florida this Spring?

You seem almost offended in answering our questions. We're curious... Isn't that your reason for coming to this board too? So why not allow us to be curious about you, and quiz you of what you know.

No harm in that, is there ?

Gosub is not so much a swear word at all since it implies the return linkage of the subroutine (the "sub" part) you are "going" to.

It's "GoTo" thats become passe and no longer used.

The equalivent "verb" or "control" statement to Gosub in COBOL is "Perform".

xBased languages use "Do" in calling a closed subroutine.

In Java and C++ which are Objected Oriented Development platforms, the term or it's equilavent is moot since the very technique itself is superceded by invoking instances of Classes.

But at the pure machine code level after it's been compiled, the action is controlled by the the same concept.

Object orientation is a conceptual paradigm, at the source code level, just as "Top Down Modular" was when "Gosub" was a common practice.

GoTo was merely the first control statement that was used for branching. As computers themselves became more sophisticated and powerful, automatic return linkage was built into the source code languages that forced the compiler to automatically return to the next statement after Gosub when the subroutine had completed firing.

Thus eliminating the "spaghetti" logic of "goto" code.

But all the dicipline of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) still doesn't keep some people from writing really crummy code.

Thanks again for your responses. The reason I'm asking details such as clothing and sunlight is because my film company is in the process of making a movie of your story and we just wanted to get some visual ideas.

But seeing that you are shy about the subject, we'll just have to be creative.

If you want to supply some more details about your daily life in 2036, let me know.

Good luck with your film.
I will be happy to let you know.

Until then...

time traveling guy...

I just wanted to ask if you know anyone in the future who is important who has the initials J.W....and if so perhaps you could name them? or him?...
heh, i made a riddle once...what clock is a clock that tells time only twice a day?

thought you were gone...guess i was in the wrong place...
time will tell, sooner or later, time will tell

just like, famous people, off the top of your head...like war heroes, war tyrants, famous researchers, anything of the like....if nobody with initials JW...then anyone? just name some?

TT_0,

Besides doing the tape, will you be having spectators?

If you do, I'd like to see your machine. I will be in Florida visiting a loved one this Spring.

Where in Florida do you live?

Let me know.

Deviper and Wanderingsoul,

Thankyou for the high marks but I have no formal education in quantum physics. To tell you the truth I have not even read a full book on any technical subject. I often go through electronics books and physics books of various topics and skim them for knowlege that I have not gained. I am truelly as much an ametuer as anyone else here.

I have read a little on the subject of quantum physics but there is a lot that I do not know.

This is why I come here humbly to share my hypothesesis with others on this forum. I also consult formally educated physisists.

One reason I like confering on this forum is the fact that it is filled with all manners of peoples of different backgrounds and various points of views. Most of us are open minded in some respects and others are closed in some reaspects. All of this is valuable I believe if these traits are put together properly.

I have noted that Einstein came up with his theories in 1901 and 1905 this is before he went to college, Am I correct on this?

One other point to make is that many of the cool gadjets and theories that were created were done by those who were not formally educated which might have been one reason they were open minded.

Einstein was both a closed and open minded person it seems. And many open minds had to single handedly accomplished a great deal for technology during thier lives over a hundred years ago do to the fact that comunications between long distances was not as practical then as it is today.

Here on this forum I see there are hundreds of posts from many people with open minds able to comunicate with the whole world with nothing more then a key board, a telephone jack, and a computer. The point being that we can more then likely accomplish leaps and bounds more then the open minds a hundred years ago because comunication for us is much more palitable; not because we are any smarter then they were back then.

What does everyone think?

Sir rgrunt,

I think Einstein went to school first.

I think an open mind is an empty mind.

I think we should master fith grade science before positing a grand unified field theory.

I think an ounce of fact is worth ton of speculation.

I think it is hard to know everything without knowing anything first.

I think you get the point.

And can't you think up a better handle than "rgrunt"?

One of the bane's of formal education is cementing ways of thinking...although initially it can expand...
I find less tolerance for thinking out of the box in *highly educated* people rather than what I fondly call independent thinkers *little smile* If I were stuck on an island and had to choose *educated* vs. *independent* No brainer to be sure


Keep thinking out of the box rgrunt !! *applauding loudly*


Be safe and dream sweetly.

Shadow,
rgrunt is not posting a GUT, it is a theory. It is as vaid as any other. If you can disprove it, do so.


If rgrunt wants that to be his name, then that is his choice. He does sign his name if you care to look.


A Lot can gained with an once of fact and it can be helpful to speculate. That is where ideas come from.


Those ideas are the basis for inventions that make all we have now possible.
